Thank you Julian for bringing out the truth for the world.
I am saddened that this is now years old and Me Assange is still not free. What an injustice. My heart goes out to him.
I bet a lot of the people that went after wiki leaks had some serious stuff to hide, I mean asking for the death penalty for this dood seems a bit over the top unless the people who are asking for it have some serious stuff to hide.
An old story of injustice & power from the 18th cent. “The man without a country” Which applies today to Assange whose “crime” was to tell truth to power & to the whole world using the words of an illicit power elite who own governments
I don't know why people are so surprised by the ruthless nature of the imperialists.
Kudos to Julian !!! it takes guts to place one's fellow man and his future, ahead of the pleasures of life and make such a sacrifice of self interests, to expose the Truth for the Masses to wake up, he is a hero; not a Terrorist, the Terrorists occupy the District of Criminals, aka Washington D.C.
No matter what happened on April 11, 2019. No matter that president Lenin Moreno sold Julian Assange to the US. Still, we should not forget that the former president of Ecuador, Rafael Carrea, has been extremely brave by helping Julian for seven years. Lenin Moreno should be the only one to be remembered for his shameful crime, not Ecuador in itself. We should be able to differentiate who was who and who is who! I admit that I fear for his life because now he is in devil`s hands, where anything can happen, especially given his ill state of health. Bless you, Mr. Assange!
This is excellent. Truth tellers are always the OUTSIDERS. LIE TELLERS are always the insiders. I've experienced this in my family and everywhere else. I've always been the outsider .
The system excludes systematically the truth tellers, that's why the truth tellers stand outside, they've been shut out.
Me too Lara. It's a hard place to be sometimes . peace.
@@bluebluelotus2868 time for this to change we don't need to live with lies and corruption of governments they need to stand behind what they stand for...I for one HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THE BS...haven't you????
Bravo , , my respect and admiration to all who resist illegal activities by governments .
I'm so angry at the U.S.Govt. I left 3 years ago and moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina for many of the reasons that entangled Snowden and Assange. Whistleblowers are targeted by the real terrorists in the Govt., because the info that these two heroes were going to release, would be very damaging to the Imposter President, and all down the food chain of corruption. I'm very sorry, I didn't know about your meeting in Buenos Aires. I would have liked to have been there to support your and Julian Assange cause for truth and justice. Keep up the good work!
Why go to Argentina? (sincerely curious)
Argentina??? Why not Canada or New Zealand, anywhere would be better than a third world squat hole like Argentina........
sam my Argentina is a remarkable country. The architecture is as amazing as the buildings in Paris, London, Vienna or Barcelona. It's very progressive for a Latin American Country and Buenos Aires has the Best Subways and public transport in South America. Much better than most cities in the USA. I love it here. BTW, most people here are well educated and speak 2 or 3 languages.
Tulsatom Bob Two concerns I have had since considering ARG (2010): 1) Recent & continuous history w/ internal political (strong tendency toward) violent "might makes right". 2) Historically limited open & competitive trade w/ US, EU, & British *combined with* lackluster culture for entrepreneurship & innovation beyond status quo. It's really the latter that worries me, where "right to everything imaginable" distracts from motivation to innovate. Your thoughts?
and it is flat broke too, you forgot to mention that
THE ONLY TERRORISTS ARE THOSE WHO WANT TO SHUT THE MESSENGERS. It is these crooks who want to stop people from disclosing THEIR dirty laundry who are the true terrorists. JULIAN ASSANGE IS A HERO, as SNOWDEN is also. These people have risked their lives FOR US. These men have suffered a huge change of life because of THEIR PRINCIPLES TO UPHOLD THE TRUTH. WE OWE THEM RESPECT AND EFFORT TO FREE THEM!!!!
Assange and Snowden are aliases or pseudonyms and not real people. That is, are not real, equals do not exist as persons. Wikileaks is not out there to get you but out to trick you. To fool you to believe bullshit.
Way on the pulse mate. I feel the low evolved souls my be feeling a bit more. We can only leave that to their own minds! With hope for them! God Bless
and don't forget Chelsia Manning who has been tortured and sentenced to 35 years in prison for letting the world see the ciminal acts of the American army occupying Iraq. Free Manning Now!
Well there's a lie.
Ok Etniks.
Thank You to the nation of Ecuador. As a nation you will go down in history as a supporter of truth.
@Richard Jagger I thought so, too...
Not any more.
Pressure too high!
@@jopeDE price
@@jopeDE everyone has their price apparently
Thank you so much for making this available!!!!
It’s tragic that nearly another four years later, the situation has worsened.
FREE JULIAN ASSANGE HE IS A HUMANITARIAN STANDING UP IN CLASS WITH COURAGE AGAINST THE TYRANTS AMERICANS HAVE DEEP APPRECIATION TO FOR YOU MR. ASSANGE AND WIKILEAKS PEACE, LOVE AND PROSPERITY TO YOU THOSE YOU HOLD CLOSE AND WIKILEAKS "ALL TYRANNY NEEDS T0 GAIN A FOOTH0LD IS F0R PE0PLE 0F G00D C0NSCIENCE T0 REMAIN SILENT." TH0MAS JEFFERSON
This man needs our support because they are trying to expose the truth.
Bravo to Ecuador for the courage to give assylum to Julian Assange. "Bienaventurados los que luchan y se solidarizan por los que sufren a causa de sus ideas de libertad de expresión política, social y económica del ser humano". My hope and positive thinking for Assange.
GOD BLESS JULIAN ASSANGE🙏🙏🙏❤️.
Thank all of those who stand strong for Julian Assange... We need to understand that every one has the right to the truth. Go deep within and find your strength. Free Julian assange..
What is the kitty's name? Thanks to Assange and everyone working, to make the world a better place.
Lets get something straight ....The American constitution has the first Amendment (Free speech), and the only industry mention by name is Journalism and how that owed to be protected.. So how on earth Assange is prosecuted?! He should be protected by the American constitution.
it seems like your rights can be taken away instantly. Therefore, they are not rights, but merely temporary privileges. #GeorgeCarlin
I think it's because the information was classified but I am not fully sure, or know the exact legal details.
I think that's accurate. On the other hand, for me, that doesn't make things better.
lets also be straight if laws and constitutions were meant to last forever we'd still all be living with rules from the stone age
Espionage act, circa wwi/ii (not sure) which doesn't discriminate between a spy or a whistleblower
Freedom of speech? What a joke. Nice going U.S. Remember the Pentagon Papers? We would never know the truth about Vietnam without them. Right on WikiLeaks!
Absolutely wonderful ❤️
The Ecuadorian minister is hot ;-) Juilan Assange, keep up the good work. We're all behind you!
One can only wonder why this only gets 60k views and some idiot filming his cat gets millions..
What it says is people prefer pussy to Assenge
Cat gives confy Feeling, truth Hurts.
Thank you people ! Thank you ! Free Julian Assange! Free Palestine!
Julian. I am so so sorry. I am so sorry I don't know how to help you :( . Thank you for your courage.
Thank you DIEM. You inspire hope. You highlight the bravery of the Ecuadorian Embassy - and the Ecuadorian Country - Thank you Ecuador for keeping Julian Assange safe. You have a moral compass which is sadly lacking globally. You have set a great example of making the world sit up and take notice of the injustice, the corruption and the lawlessness that I see every day. I salute you Ecuador, Wikileaks, and DIEM.
I am shocked by the fact that if someone files a complaint, now could be labeled as a terrorist! Gee... incredible.
The Wikileaks cables are online and searchable. There is a massive amount of information. So far, what they seem to reveal is a view of America that most Americans have never seen. Given the sorry state of the politics of this country, it may be wise to look at these critically. Poignant message from Brian Eno and others.
Zizek's passionate plea was very moving! Well said and bravo to everyone on the panel!
Literally *tomorrow* for me in time now, January 4th 2021, a judgement will be made in the US on his extradition status. I have no words, but I hope he will be released and get to live a free life. I know the probability, considering the horror show that is our governance. Still - his soul is beautiful, his mind brilliant, and he did an incredible, beautiful good deed that had impact well beyond what most of us will ever contribute back to humanity. I hope the tiny flame of love and brotherhood in humanity never goes out, and that he goes free, gets to feel the grass on his skin, and the warm embrace of another human. He deserves that, we ALL do.
I have been making the point Yanis is making since the early 70's. This happens in Any Abusive environment. I was criminalized by All as a child for pointing out the Abuses and sub standard treatment in my own house. I've been saying it ever since and bashed by everyone. Now,, More are saying it but I will never get credit for saying it since I'm 7
Early Eighties here; I invented the "capitalism devours it's host" and "conspiracy to hide the truth in plain sight" memes. I've seen movies from way back where people got this. Pre-code Hollywood even made some smart films. Machiavelli grokked it too. "Only the dead know Brooklyn" Keep letting people know you knew so no one feels alone in their past with these points anymore, so the words of history tell the future of our inevitable discoveries.
when society drift's the truth is a criminal offence
The MSM should learn from WikiLeaks, Mr Assange has the courage to report accurate information. The politicians don't want to be held accountable for their evil deeds. Thank you WikiLeaks for what you do, even though it is a very risky business.
wikileaks has opened the way to freedom the world will follow
Share this people! Keep sharing or the powers will try to erase everything he has done. Support bringing people together and try to avoid identity politics that the powers hope will divide us and keep us weak.
free Julian!
I don't know who the f##k these intellectual dudes are but I thank them for existing and surviving in these post-thought times!
didn't know varoufakis before? the f##k
The politics of friendship. Thank you for bringing it up, Srećko Horvat!
The fear in the beginning is intense!
Assange is one of our own from Australia. Pity Melbourne or Sydney didn't care to join, but proud for Berlin. Shame on London. What we learn from Assange and Clinton is that justice bends to power.
Thanks for the upload
If you cannot eliminate the problem, eliminate those who brought it up
God bless and protect Julian Assange he has sacrificed his freedom for truth.A true hero.
Thankyou
hear hear this is a real man and a champion of humanity and a real friend of Mr Assang
BRAVO to you SLAVOJ, !!!!! I do think (and send them good thoughts and love)of both Assange and Snowden.
You cannot tell the truth today in this world,if you tell the truth you get sacked from your job or wind up in prison......just look at Assange. You remember Woodward and Bernstein?......ever since Watergate investigative journalism has been bought and paid for.Julian is a hero,we need more like him.
Thanks
I am grateful for you All......Remember it all ties in together.
#Unity4J
UNBELIEVABLE....!!!!!
And then Ecuador threw him to the wolves.
Bravo Ecuador.......Bravo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GIVE US A BRAKE!!!
What a fucking eye opener or should I say mind opener.
sick sick sick sick sick sick sick people (0:00 - 2:27)
unbelievable - in both ways incomprehensible AND fake sounding with exaggerated certain that is overkill
The normal People's of every country in the world Should rise and get these wonderful individual s released and any more of this criminal behavior will not be tolerated all these oppressive states should be arrested
Why is the state department afraid of showing the American people the truth?????????
"If the American people ever find out what we have done they will hang us from the lampposts!" - George Herbert Bush ....... that's why.
He never said that. Please take more care with your quotes.
+Luke O'Brien I'll bet he's thought it
Doesn't this question answer itself: showing the people (in America or the EU or ...) the Truth would expose the rulers and what they are doing against the people they are supposed to be working for.
Luke O'Brien: Oh, the naivety . . . . . . . .😣
Julian Assange should wear the mask of V..... what a great citizen
we are celebrating the fact that he is not killed by the high & mighty!every day he is alive we all win a little!!
and here i am - knowing how the crooks cheat the political game, meet the group that seemingly tries to figure out the same thing and still i have no power to communicate the truth to anyone
Makes me want to find out what he has to say! On what he know and why they want him dead, sound like there afraid of the truth.
Free Julian Assange
#freejulianassange
Just a minute in and already these people are absolute ghouls.
If Governments are doing right by their citizens why are they worried about truth telling ?
God bless Daniel Ellsberg ! 👍
Set Assange free or you will not be able to face your maker.
wow. The first two minute montage..... can't go a day without seeing something that makes me embarrassed to be an American.
Especially in the past four years but that's not to say I was comfortable with our illegal and immoral wars before that. It doesn't mean I was unashamed of the rudeness of so many Americans when visiting overseas.
LITERALLY I AM JULIAN ASSANGE ! THANKS MR ZIZEK
i, too, am julian assange, except a lot dumber and a lot less brave.
As in Hans Christian Anderson's Classic fairy tale,The emperors new clothing,could Mr Asange be the young lad who was brave enough to call out to the precariates the nakedness of the emperor?
"Albeit it does move"
Shut THEM down! Those who are the real threat to humanity, wich definately is NOT Wickileaks!!
☝🏾Let’s NOT forget #JulianAssange. I am suffering under the direct results of the Trump Administration 👉🏾but let’s NOT look at it that way: Julian Assange is Innocent of #Fascists #StandWithJulianAssange-NOW that it’s ‘more difficult’!! 💔✊🏾🌎✌🏾🇵🇸
What happened to all the support for Julian? Since this video was made, they've now kept him imprisoned for double the time, adding torture and slowly breaking his spirit, body and mind.
SO THIS IS WHY THEY HAVE TO BE TREATED FAIRLY
At min 1:10 is talking about the ecological crime against Romanian secular forest, a situation that concerns everybody in Romania. - Fantastic!
We must not be afraid to die because we all will die eventually. And we must be ready to fight for the truth. The cowards who want to control and exploit us first look to see if we are afraid. If we have fear they attack. Life is precious. Is not to be thrown away. But we must not cowardly be overly protective to the point that we become cowards.
My two penneth is only a drop in the ocean, but when I hear US officials and commentators baying for Julian's blood for exposing the war- crimes of that nation, it makes me realize just how low things have become. Might is right is no way to influence the world for the better.
does the bilderberger conference provides a hughe number of the insiders? 1:02:18
already great worked by assanje n now who are on the same way fight for the freedom voices n democratic human values
IS THERE AN UPDATE OF THIS VIDEO??
Well they came for him and they got him.
Assange ah.. should be ah.. a free man and ah.. the goverments ah.. should be ashamed of their ah.. continues effort to a ah.. keep to truth from the ah.. peoples.
Talk of Fascists. Words from Fascist. Assange is a Freedom Fighter. Assange is no Fascist.
Let's stop beating around the bush and unite against the evil empire and it's minions?
there is no evil empire. there are just psychopaths with the power in their hands.
Psychopaths that control the most powerful military in the world which has its military basses around the globe. I would call that an evil empire but I look forward to reading your definition of evil empire.
An evil empire is one based on the theology of revolution rather than the theology of liberation. Liberation cannot occur when those defining themselves as oppressed seek merely to replace those they define as oppressors so they may use that power to oppress those they formerly defined as their oppressors. Liberation occurs when the underlying system is altered so that both those oppressed by the rules and those oppressed by having to enforce those rules attain new rules. Representative democracy is the worst system of government in the world, except when one compares it to all the others. Light side capitalism (Middle Out Economic policy) is the worst economic system in the world, except when one compares it to all the others. Life will always entail suffering. There will always be people who blame their suffering on others, rather than themselves - when a bit of both is the more honest answer. Such people blame the ocean because it rained on their parade. They do not want to acknowledge the difference between what is and what is by intent. There is one society which is a theology of revolution with more than 1.6 billion adherents. They are not the only revolutionary theology, Marxism is another. Buddhism and Unionization are examples of theologies of liberation. Whether one calls it a theology or a philosophy is irrelevant since the social affectations are effected in the same personal and institutional ways.
I have stated my definition of evil empire. I have not mentioned revolutions so have no idea why would you mention that.
The definition used for your given lacks all merit. What I have defined is precise and differentiates between emotionally effected prejudices and those observations which function as axioms for a rational, exhaustive, and progressive achievement. Givens based on the whim of emotion prevent liberation of both the individual and the society. They only lead to furthering the cycles of violence. The real evil empire is in the mind with a myopic and parochial view who thinks it is grand because its eyes see what it chooses not to comprehend.
Can you turn up the volume?
Do not worry about the undoing of the matrix , just desire the wanted goal .
assange is a hero
Now he is missing .Killed or in captivity ? .A true hero .Lets not forget him .
I do think of Julian, and Edward, and Chelsea. They are hero's and heroines. I also think of an innocent young man who back in the summer of 1967 was stabbed to death in his bed late in the night. He had a partial amputation of his arm. He was completely alone. His parents had passed away and left their livestock feed store to him so he would have a source of income and could provide for himself. The unspoken law was that any disabled person was considered a freak and they were to be kept behind walls of one's home or were to be removed to institutions. The disabled people were forbidden to be seen or participate in society. That this disabled man had visibility by ownership of his family's business the local government had him murdered. The police were called in after the murder was finished and his body was loaded into the trunk of the police car and driven to the local garbage dump and his body burned to dispose of his body and evidence. His business was secured and torn down within the following week to destroy any further evidence. There was never any investigation by any legal authority. No doctor was ever called to issue a death certificate. All records of the man's birth and death were removed from the county records. Also, all property records in his name were also removed. Even the local historical society deleted any mention or record of the building they owned which was a part of historical buildings that had been still standing in the 1960's. There never was any mention of his murder in the local newspaper or the surrounding local newspaper or a newspaper from the nearest city. There was no word to this crime in print, television, or radio. So yes the U.S. commits murder at the local level as well as abroad with impunity. Perhaps one day others will no longer accept this vicious monstrosity. They have destroyed many lives, they are also destroying my life. It would have been something if others could have cared, it may have prevented this senseless murder. I have no expectation that caring people will come today or tomorrow, but someday there may be a people who will not allow a United States to perpetuate such gross inhumanity, or allow a rogue state to Perpetuate such crimes anywhere in the world.
You have to ask who exactly he's terrorising. That'll get you closer to the truth.
isn't politics of friendship like the defenition of nepotism?
Criminals and murderers are the leaders of our world.
To Srećko Horvat, The problem with modern technology, and the use of it, is not that it is something we are afraid to participate in, but it is something with which a great many of us have no success. I attempted from the age of ten until just a few years ago to learn to program. The last language for programming that I found understandable was GFA Basic. Instructions for assembling a bookshelf are in this day and age written to be incomprehensible - if they are written at all. Programmers, and technologists, are like Kindergarten teachers. They have become so entrenched in the language of their work they can barely speak to anyone else outside of that idiom. It is impossible for them to prepare programs and instructions which are meaningful to anyone with a classical education. They might read a few lines of Le Morte d'Arthur, La Chanson de Roland, or even Go Rin no Sho to effect them in some ap, but they do nothing to communicate accessibility of modern technology and its manipulation for those of us who passionately appreciate the grand symphonies of our languages. Of all the complaints against Microsoft, and Bill Gates actions in specific, the one thing that he has accomplished equal to Julian Assange, is the inclusion of the masses in his bailiwick by making an operating system which the entire planet can utilize. The communication of our technology back to us, the intuitiveness of that technology, should be so direct, so harmonious, that the illiterate among our centenarians should find the manipulation and control of that technology as easy as cleaning their dentures. Rather instead, what I find, is that the farther the tech has come from the 1980's the less intuitive, the less communicative, and the less controllable it has become.
Shit the US is waaay more fucked up than I could have ever thought. Chilling.
The United states is American, not like the United states of Europe, No singularly definable language. Commonality, all have different cultures. So much harder to pull together.

Why shut down Wikileaks, the people who put you in power need to know the truth.
They couldn't come for Assenge because he ran away and hid in the Ecuadorian embassy
