Better to be hated than lauded.
Look what happened to Julian Assange.
Totally and woefully abandoned.
Not even Russia took him in.
I love my freedom of speech.
Being a no one has its advantages.
Do you think anyone gave a fuck about Vincent Van Gogh cutting his ear off.
Not when he did it.
Only after he was discovered, long after his death.
Julian Assange isn’t even a martyr.
Not sure if he was a journalist as well.
If he was, I’m sure he’d have written up his memoir by now that would have righted a few wrongs.
He didn’t do because he’s not a writer.
He’s a hacker.
A coder.
The moment he became a leper, was the moment no one of importance wanted to be associated with him.
Sad days.
Fame and fortune.
Always a price for everything.
John Pilger never abandoned him.
Ever.
That’s integrity.
But then again who reads Pilger these days.
And what does Noam Chomsky got to say about Mr. Wikileaks.
Chomsky’s had his day.
His lost his relevance.
America bashing has reached a shrill pitch, and someone turned the volume down.
