Why Julian Assange must be silenced

How the world has changed!

Thirty or forty years ago, anyone wanting to avoid the long arm of Uncle Sam would have felt quite comfortable seeking refuge in the nearest Swedish embassy.

Today Julian Assange ducked into Ecuador's embassy in London to avoid being extradited to Sweden.

It's not Sweden he fears, of course. It's the very real prospect of being shipped on to the US, where things could get very nasty for him indeed.

While those alleged "sex crimes" he is wanted for in Sweden would have been laughed out of any American court, America dearly wants him for his other crime, the crime of exposing the truth to the world.

Telling the truth, or rather exposing it, is considered a crime against the state in the America of today.

Truth undermines American security.

Truth undermines America's relationship with her allies.

Truth undermines the ability of the goverrnment and the mainstream media to keep bullshitting the American people into voting against their own interests.

What the hell, if too much truth ever gets out, the warmongers and the profiteers and the two parties who represent them could all be sitting in cells at The Hague!

Which is why Julian Assange must be silenced.
