As the world's second most important journalist, it pains me to no end to see the world's most important journalist behind bars, slowing being tortured to death for the crime of exposing war crimes and other misdemeanor by the ruling class.
Behind bars is likely the most appropriate place for the person with the title of being "the world's most important journalist." If you have not pissed off the ruling class so much that they either try to Clinton you or put you in jail, you can definitely no be #1.
If there was ever a black pill on how evil statism is, and how important ending the Federal reserve, not by talking about it like idiot libertarians, and actively taking part in it by using Bitcoin, it is what is happening to Jullian Assange.
It's pretty obvious at this point that state secrets are used primarily to engage in criminal behavior without the public knowing. Labeling things as classified allows for the prosecution of whistleblowers and journalists who dare to expose the state for participating in the status quo.
The average statist can justify normal coercion in their heads, but cannot grapple with the scale of evil that these governments participate in.
What sparked this rant is that the feds are "exploring plea deals" for Assange right now, which is a complete travesty. HE DID NOT DO ANYTHING WRONG AND IS BEING PUNISHED FOR DOING SOMETHING INCREDIBLY GOOD AND IMPACTFUL.
To the Feds reading this: If you have a moral compass, you would quit your jobs. The people you work for are pedophiles and war criminals. You are being paid with stolen money and are part of the problem. War criminality and pedophilia can be justified and are deplorable acts. Your service to that system is what gives it the guise of legitimacy. You are part of the problem and you can be part of the solution by quitting your job and atoning for your sins against humanity by doing something fucking productive with your life instead of assisting in destroying others.
If Assange agrees to a plea, it could end in him being freed. That would be great, but that does not in anyway excuse what different governments have done to him, as well as the actions their actions that he reported on.
The world needs brave people who not only can see what's wrong with the world, but aren't cowards and seek to do something about it, despite the costs to themselves.
