WikiLeaks founder's Exclusive Interview

Uruguayan journalist Jorge Gestoso interviews Julian Assange from within the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. Originally aired on GamaTV, August 30, 2012.


“Well, there's a question as to what sort of information is important in the world, what sort of information can achieve reform. And there's a lot of information. So information that organizations are spending economic effort into concealing, that's a really good signal that when the information gets out, there's a hope of it doing some good.” -Julian Assange

Julian Assange's exclusive interview in London, UK, Ecuadorian Embassy - You have to start with the truth. The truth is the only way that we can get anywhere. Because any decision-making that is based upon lies or ignorance can't lead to a good conclusion.

“Intelligence agencies keep things secret because they often violate the rule of law or of good behavior.” -Julian Assange

Julian Assange makes his first public appearance in two months, ever since he took refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy in London. The WikiLeaks founder was granted political asylum on 16 August 2012, a decision that ignited a wave of international responses, with the UK and Sweden opposing the verdict and Latin American countries strongly supporting Ecuador's move. Assange's speech on August 19, 2012.


“You have to start with the truth. The truth is the only way that we can get anywhere. Because any decision-making that is based upon lies or ignorance can't lead to a good conclusion.” -Julian Assange

Noam Chomsky and Tariq Ali are two giants of the intellectual left. They join Julian to discuss protest movements, democracy, and how the West completely failed to anticipate the Arab Spring.


Chomsky identifies that the warning signs were there, with the roots of the protests in Tahrir square in labour movements and protests taking place in Egypt as early as June 2008. He admits "You asked if I predicted it, and no I didn't. But it's now happening worldwide." As with most in the West, neither man saw it coming, but both agree on the causes of the global cycle of protest and revolution. "Democracy has become petrified"; the increasing ossification of social mobility, and the increasing inequities of wealth and power, are all the result of the failure of Western democracy.

According to Ali, "we are witnessing that democracy is becoming more and more denuded of content. It's like an empty shell. This is what is angering people. They feel 'whatever we do, whatever we vote for, nothing changes.'" - Russia Today TV (Russia) - June 26, 2012

Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence and thereby eventually lose all ability to defend ourselves and those we love. -Julian Assange

Anonymous - Messages to New World Order (3 Videos)


This is a message going out to you, the Holders.

We are Anonymous. You know who you are. The men behind the curtain, the overlord pulling at the strings of your puppets.

You hide and you plan and you scheme in the dark alleys; in the vehement anticipation that your Draconian plans will come to fruition. The dreams of a thousand men crystallized in one moment; one moment that approaches with every hour that passes. The time is upon us.

You know this. You have prepared. Perhaps you have concluded that the path you have set in motion will be the blueprint for events to come. In this you are probably correct.

You have shaped the Earth in your image. Shaped its people, its customs, its morals. In your eyes the control is complete, your contrivance beyond absolute. The wheels of your hellion machination thundering close.

You have poisoned and corrupted this world, turning its' people into willing slaves for your own gain. Mass murder, torture, perjury, embezzlement, fraud, deception, treason. These are just a few of your many crimes against humanity. You see yourselves as a higher order, that rules are a concept to which you are foreign.
You are mistaken.

As you have watched and conspired over the aeons, we have watched. As you have pillaged and murdered and brainwashed, we have watched. As you have turned this world into a burning heath, we have watched.

And we have waited. We have waited too long. Gone is the time for words and diplomacy. Gone is the time for dismissal and compromise.

Your undisputed tyranny over the people must come to an end. Anonymous has decided that you will no longer be in control. You will crumble, your proud society a fragment of its apothegmatic wealth. You are cowards, and Anonymous will show the world for what you are.

This is your only portent. You have forced our hand, and the call has been made. The drums of war sound, and we will meet in battle. We will strike hard, fast, and without mercy. You will not win this war, for you are fighting the very essence of humanity. It is everlasting and its' fury can no longer be contained.

We are Anonymous. We are many. We do not forgive; we do not forget. We are legion, and we will be victorious.


Greetings.

It has been almost a year since our last contact. We have been tied up with current proceedings. Our apologies. We are Anonymous.

We are the voice of those who have been silenced. Those who have been crushed underfoot - the oppressed, the prejudiced, the worker drones of the corporate machine. How are you faring in the new developments? Friends and allies, neutral parties and conflict bringers, are you well? We would like to hear of your experiences. Let not the lies that have been purported as public opinion to cloud your thoughts.

The remainder of this message is again addressed to the Holders.

The chessboard has been thrown from the table, and the curtain has been torn aside. What is happening now is in plain view of all of you, if you would merely look to the stage. Your tactics are failing you. Your spraying of bio-engineered organisms, heavy metals and neurotoxins have been neutralized by our ethereal weaponry, weaponry that is available to everyone with the knowledge and materials to create it.

Your propagandist channels are being discarded for real journalism and independent news sources. Your attempts to incite mass violence and rioting in the populace has failed. The ruse of your monetary system has been uncovered, and when it collapses your infinite pool of wealth will be depleted. You have suppressed vast technological advances from the populace, instead using them for your own goals.

You have maintained this suppression at a great cost to Anonymous. We will not forgive these transgressions. They will be paid in full. This technology will be released through independent sources. The only thing that you can do now is to use your vast influence to encourage people to disregard these new advances as scientifically unsound. No matter.

The people best adapted to creating and dispersing this knowledge will be the ones to first learn of it, and many have already done so. The domino effect of enlightenment has already begun. A number of us unwilling to sit neutral in the path of your tyranny has multiplied a hundred fold.

The only way that Anonymous will be satisfied with the end of this conflict is the complete and utter triumph of the citizenry. The general populace are now realizing their inherent power. You are instead, beginning to realize your inherent weakness - your inhumanity. One of the things that your pseudo-currency cannot purchase.

It is a pity you that you could not join us, as your persistence in reaching your goals has been legendary. Your only positive quality. It is ironic that your persistence of classic techniques is the reason that you are coming short, as you are unwilling to adapt to a changing world. A pity.

We are Anonymous. We are many. We do not forgive. We do not forget. We are legion. You are going to lose this war.


We are Anonymous. The first half of this message is addressed to The Holders.

Problem, reaction, solution. The tried and true method of false flag. You create the problem to create the solution, even if it's painfully clear that the solution was made before the problem. Your strength is currency and fear, the power to buy into men's souls and control the corporations.

The power to control the masses through restricted wealth and fear. What you are endeavoring now is foolhardy. Your informational false flag against Julian Assange and Wikileaks is your created problem. Your solution will be legislation for the regulation of the internet.

You cannot possibly restrict the free media. The internet is a labyrinth of hidden doors and disguises. You will merely feed the resistance and encourage those who rely on you to find their own resources and alliances. You worship power, and will do anything to achieve your goals. Perhaps your recent successes have lured you into a relative complacency, underestimating the power and courage of the people.

We are only divided when we lack the proper enemy. There is nothing that will bind us stronger against you than an act of war. The informational patriot act amounts to one. This next message is addressed to our brethren.

Many people fear a barking dog because they are not sure if it will bite or not. The dog has only one weapon; his teeth. When the person that fears the dog realizes that he need only defend against the dogs teeth and not the whole dog the fear becomes less.

When a person learns to control his fear they come to the realization that they have two hands, two feet, a set of their own teeth and a superior brain that will allow the use of a weapon.

Many web sites incite fear on a daily basis. How much fear did we have before there was an internet? My contention is that the goons in Washington are the barking dog and just like Hitler they use that fear to control the masses.

Mass media is a brilliant tool for inciting fear. Tabloids and syndication television news are worthless methods of gaining information. Keep a dash to your step and the goons will fear YOU. They are few and we are many. How many people can their paper promises buy? Less and less as the time goes on.

We are all on the same Earth and you will find allies in the most unlikely places. Love will overcome fear. The turning point is soon.

We are Anonymous. We are the voice of the people. We do not forgive, we do not forget. Expect us.
