Welcome to the 164th week of Julian Assange Sydney Town Hall gatherings.
We are here once again, to raise awareness about Julian Assange.
We all need to know the fact that Julian is completely innocent and that his persecution has come about because key members of the government, judiciary and media are in the process of preventing the wider public from fully realising that the system that governs us is corrupt and undemocratic.
Julian Assange set up Wikileaks to publish public-interest information, so that we, the people, would be able to use the information to hold governments and other powerful entities to account. For more than 10 years, Julian was intimately involved in publishing information, which revealed the shocking reality of how the military, diplomats, intelligence, politicians and media are involved in dishonest and undemocratic activities. Julian’s publishing has upset those who profit from the corruption. In an honest and democratic world, the exposure of truth would be expected to lead to an overhauling of the corrupted systems, but in this case, governments and media have doubled down on the wrongdoing and have collectively scapegoated and persecuted Julian, to allow the corruption to continue. Politicians and media work collectively to distract people from seeing the crooked reality Julian’s publications have revealed. The corruption is obvious to anyone willing to recognise the truth.
Our governments and the media are engaged in damage control. They spin the truth to imply the lie that Julian did something wrong, but the reality is that everything Julian did was legal and ethical. He is absolutely innocent. The lies of governments and media are untenable. People are waking up, but we need more people to wake up if we are going to prevent all of the awful harms that continue to occur, because of endemic corruption.
We all need to help! We all need to be engaged. We all need to fight the corruption of democracy and help free Julian Assange.
Free Julian Assange!
Free Julian Assange!
Free Julian Assange!
