The last resort of a crumbling Empire is force. Persecution of Julian Assange is their hope that they still can terrorize anyone willing to speak the truth on the Imperial crimes. Unfortunately for them, the history doesn’t work that way. In reality, on every martyred truth teller, there are at least ten more ready to speak the truth.

He must not be remembered as the first victim sacrificed to the imperial breakdown, but as hero of a free speech and the educator and leader to the wave of new true journalists in the coming era of decentralized, truthful news. A new World in essence, without the monopolies of fake news and everlasting wars corporations. It’s a World worth fighting for. Let’s then start building it with saving Julian Assange…
