Assange’s arrest will massively backfire – further expose ‘Democratic West’ as harbingers of global police-state
by
Don DeBar
The
arrest of Wikileak’s Julian Assange will, in the long term, do more
to expose the real nature of the so-called democratic West than 100
document dumps could ever do.
It has
exposed the following:
Freedom
of the press is non-existent in the US and EU. Should one publish
materials exposing criminal activity by the powerful, that publisher
– not the powerful criminal who has been exposed – will be
criminally prosecuted.
The idea
of an independent judiciary is farcical – the on-again/off-again
nature of the charges in the Swedish courts, as well as the
Torqmada-esque secret proceedings in the US which are certainly
driving them, show that prosecutions can target and be controlled
across borders to exact political vengeance.
Elections
in the west are a farce, and the US meddles in these in the same way
Kasparov ‘meddles’ with a chess board.
Lenin
Moreno was elected to continue the program of his predecessor – and
primary supporter before the election – former president of
Ecuador, Rafael Correa, which included a rejection again by the
electorate of neo-liberal economics and an independent course for
Ecuador’s foreign policy which included sanctuary for Julian
Assange.
Almost
immediately after his election, Moreno’s true colors came to the
fore, and he began to implement neo-liberal economic austerity at
home and behave as a US vassal abroad, which included threats to
Julian’s status.
Today we
saw the extent to which the latter has been pursued, and, not
coincidentally, at a time when Moreno’s illegal and corrupt
activities are being exposed. He seeks to distract the Ecuadorian
people from these facts:
He’s a
crook.
He’s a
stooge of Washington.
There
will be more austerity and pain for the Ecuadorian people if he is
allowed to continue.
