Authored by Green Party candidate for President, Jill Stein
Julian Assange is a hero. Like Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning, and other whistleblowers facing government persecution, Assange has sacrificed his personal comfort and safety to bring us the truth. …
“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” Thanks to WikiLeaks, we know that powerful institutions have been abusing their power and lying to the public. … Secretary Clinton identified Saudi Arabia as a leading funding source for terrorist groups around the time she approved a whopping $29 billion arms deal with the Saudi dictatorship.
WikiLeaks courageously published the infamous “Collateral Murder” video showing an American helicopter gunning down Iraqi civilians … just one of the many shocking war crimes whitewashed as “collateral damage” by the US government. WikiLeaks’ stunning revelations of how top Democratic National Committee officials conspired to sabotage Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign, in collusion with the media, shattered the illusion of a fair electoral process …
WikiLeaks doesn’t tell us what to think. They invite us to read the emails, watch the footage, and decide for ourselves.
The political and economic elite … see this unprecedented transparency as a tremendous threat. They have mercilessly persecuted a series of heroic whistleblowers. … The security state would like to make an example of Assange, as it has done to Manning and others. … the Obama administration has prosecuted more whistleblowers than all previous presidents combined … often accompanied by ruthless character assassination to discredit them. …
On that note, one of the strangest developments this year has been seeing journalists attack WikiLeaks for doing what journalists are supposed to do: reveal the unvarnished truth to the public. … Julian Assange is a hero in my book.
