Information is power and the root of democracy. There are many in the world who would deny information to the masses and only a few who vigorously defend and support the natural right to information of all people. Without unfettered information for the masses there is no democracy and without democracy there is no reasonable chance or hope for justice.
Today the BBC reported that Julian Assange has been served with an extradition notice. He is now one step closer to being silenced. He is one of the most effective defenders of democracy in recent times. He will, very likely, soon be in the hands of the US industrial/military complex where, I expect, his prospects for natrual justice, freedom or even survival are slim.
My condolences to Julian Assange. You should be hailed a hero of the free world, not condemned and persecuted. Thank you for what you have done and good luck to you.
It is a dark day for democracy.
