Julian Assange Is Back: Here’s What That Means

Julian Assange bravely exposed the corruption, violence, and immorality of the Establishment. This elicited deep concern among elitist forces in the world that prefer to operate in the Dark, shielded from public scrutiny. They sought to silence evidence of their evil by destroying Julian Assange. The Establishment imposed various forms of illegitimate incarceration on Assange for several years. Assanged suffered but endured. Such sacrifice is heroic and symbolic: Saving Julian Assange is Saving Ourselves. The evidence is the extent that Assange’s example has motivated others to reject the darkness of the Establishment and work toward a better world for all.

In the era of an unhinged demagogue like Donald Trump, the activism of Assange is the tonic.

That is the importance of Julian Assange, Wiki Leaks, and like-minded people in solidarity.

Assange is said to be back, but for people who knew him or of him, he has always been present in some form. [DV editor]
