The Sacrifice Assange Is Making For Truth

When Assange chose to start Wikileaks and expose abuse by governments and corporations alike, he knew it might mean his life would change forever. He especially realized this when he began releasing such items as Collateral Murder and #Cablegate. The sacrifices he has made and is making currently are his well-being, his health, his freedom and his sanity. Even if freed, Assange will never be the same energetic, happy man he once was. He used to have bounce in his step and a constant smile on his face. The persecution and torture he has endured for publishing crimes by the state has warped his life forever. His continuing suffering is a travesty.

Western civilization is no longer an example of true democracy and freedom as the precedent being set by the imprisonment of Julian Assange is an act of tyrrany and injustice. The example set shows us that no one is safe from the abominable acts being done by the United States government. Free Speech and free press are becoming a memory very quickly as journalists worldwide are bring arrested. This includes in nations that once boasted of their human rights. Both the U.K. and the U.S. now disregard their own laws and persecute journalists who publish facts that embarrass the government. Whistleblowers are imprisoned and persecuted. In fact, Russia seems to have many of these individuals as refugees instead of the other way around. This shouldn’t be so.

Have we truly become as blind as Germany in the beginning of the Nazis? Have we become brainwashed by mainstream media and ignorant of the government’s agenda to control and enslave us under a totalitarian rule? Have we become complacent fools?

While the man who told us what was to come unless we stood up and revolutionized the way we think is slowly assassinated in Belmarsh prison, the general public eats propaganda like a kid with candy. The people are sheep. They are following the pied piper to their doom and satisfied with simple survival while the world around them sinks into an evil “1984”. Perhaps what will come next is worse than what George Orwell wrote in his famous novel.

The first step to end this is to take back our rights by freeing Assange and those like him. We cannot stand and watch as democracy is destroyed and our freedom removed slowly by the establishment. Only the People can truly do this. No politician or government agency will. We must save our rights ourselves!

This is a call to educate the average citizen as to what happens next if they remain in their seats. This is a call to Free ourselves by freeing Assange. This is a modern day revolution! We must end Assange’s suffering before it costs his life and ends our freedom!
