Pilger tells it like it is. Senior international lawyers of the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention concluded with good reason that Assange was being illegally detained - and further rejected the appeal by the UK - because there is no real case and no real investigation in progress against Assange. The UK gov (or the entire West's governments for that matter) didn't like the United Nations Human Rights Council's verdict, just puts that aside as if we, the people, are all idiots and didn't catch that corruption of justice. It's truly pathetic, and *all* our governments (and media) have handled this like enormous assholes. They all can't handle the truth, claiming "why doesn't he step outside?". Some people apparently missed what happened to Manning, and since Julian founded WikiLeaks, his fate would be way worse. Or did they forget Hillary Clinton publicly proposed to "just drone the guy"? In hindsight, the Aaron Hillel Swartz case is all just a big fight against the stupidity of the moral majority's ruling class. It's smart vs stupid. Once again smart lost (as a result of being a minority), dooming the human species to extinction and ruin, essentially.

Among many of the interesting people camping there were the WikiLeaks team. They were involved in some inspiring talks there, of which you can still download the videos. During my stay at HAR I even had a short conversation about gevulde koeken and some other superficial things related to the festival with mister Assange. I think of myself as being a pretty good judge of character, and this is certainly not the type of man that goes around treating women like shit, which becomes even more clear when you see this character analysis of Julian. Meanwhile, WikiLeaks recently leaked: A clip from their website: The material shows that cover-ups start on the ground. When reporting their own activities US Units are inclined to classify civilian kills as insurgent kills, downplay the number of…
