“Assange’s Imprisonment Arguably Reveals Even More Corruption Than WikiLeaks Did”
"What’s even more interesting to me right now, though, is that if you think about it, the completely fraudulent arrest and imprisonment of Julian Assange arguably exposes more malfeasance by government and media powers than what has been revealed in all WikiLeaks publications combined since its inception"
The author is right.
But the entire set of ongoing American activities abroad is exactly of the same nature.
Utterly dishonest and destructive and controlling, from Syria to Venezuela.
It is hard to understand why there isn't more opposition and criticism of all the dirty work.
But there really isn't all that much.
The lesson to be learned is about what a herd of cattle Americans and Western Europeans have been reduced to.
Why wasn't there a crowd of a 100,000, or at least 10,000, at the embassy, making Assange’s arrest extremely difficult?
We live in a pretty sad world.
Those with power do pretty much as they please, and with very little opposition or criticism.
And the rule of law is given only lip service.
