Julian Assange is the Australian founder of WikiLeaks whose revolutionary journalism changed the world several times. WikiLeaks’ release of documents in 2010 led to the Arab Spring that overthrew governments in the Middle East. WikiLeaks’ release of Hilary Clinton’s emails as Secretary of State led to the unexpected election of Donald Trump as US President in 2016.
When WikiLeaks massively exposed US war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan , the US tried to extradite Assange under the Espionage Act (although he is not a US citizen) to imprison him for 175 years!
Assange spent over seven years in London’s Ecuadorian Embassy to avoid extradition and was held for over five years in Belmarsh prison (although he had not been charged with any crime). Assange was freed on June 25 with a simple plea deal and is now back in Australia with his family. The Real Problem with Julian Assange is one of the best summarizes of Assange’s ordeal.
How WikiLeaks Revolutionized Journalism
Julian Assange unleashed a revolution in journalism.
The work done by Julian Assange in exposing the truth cements his status as one of the most important journalists of our time, writes Dr John Jiggens.
ACCORDING TO Dr Suelette Dreyfus, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was the most original voice in 21st-Century journalism. She justified this claim by referencing the invention of the anonymous digital drop box that WikiLeaks and Assange pioneered, which allowed whistleblowers to transfer information to the public while preserving their anonymity. This invention was widely imitated by copycats like The New York Times and the ABC, who never defended Assange or his journalism, and treated his outrageous persecution as the normal outcome of a justice system.

WikiLeaks Helped Elect President Trump In 2016
12 Days That Stunned a Nation: How Hillary Clinton Lost
Less than two weeks before Election Day, Hillary Clinton's campaign held a clear lead in the polls. Republican Donald Trump would ultimately win. How?.... Here’s a look at how the final 12 days changed the race.
Oct. 28: "The biggest political scandal since Watergate"
The first 27 days of October couldn’t have gone better for Clinton — or worse for Trump….But that good run for Clinton ended on Friday, Oct. 28. Comey informed Congress that his agency had found emails …which appeared "pertinent" to the investigation into Clinton’s personal email server.
NBC News counted 145 mentions of WikiLeaks by Trump in the last month of the race…. WikiLeaks revelations hurt Clinton because voters couldn’t tell the difference between them and the longstanding controversy surrounding Clinton’s own emails….. From the Trump team’s perspective, the final 12 days of the campaign allowed them to pull off perhaps the greatest political upset in American history.
Globalization vs. Nationalism: The Battle In Seattle in 1999
For many Americans, the political contest may seem to be between Republicans and Democrats, conservatives and liberals, or right and left. However, the fight is really between nationalists and globalists worldwide.
Trump represents nationalism. His slogan “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) is a reminder that America was the world’s most powerful manufacturing nation until President Clinton gave our industrial base to China. Crowds at Trump rallies often chant “USA! USA! USA!” because so many Americans are longing for a restoration of American economic and political power.
People born in this century may not know that The Battle in Seattle in 1999 was a turning point for America and the world. Before that time, almost everything in America said, “Made in USA”. Now, almost everything here says, “Made in China”. Detroit was the manufacturing capital of the world. Now, it’s a ghost town. Clinton was supposed to be impeached for China Gate, but was rescued by the Monika Lewinsky scandal.
Battle in Seattle is a 2007 political action-thriller film based on the protest activity at the WTO Ministerial Conference of 1999. The film depicts the protest in 1999 as thousands of activists arrived in Seattle, Washington to protest the WTO Ministerial Conference of 1999. Protesters believed the World Trade Organization widened the wealth gap between rich and poor, while the WTO claimed to be fixing the disparity. The protests shut down the WTO meeting.
Globalist organizations like the WTO, World Bank, and IMF could not meet anywhere in the world without massive street demonstrations until after 9/11 when the threat of “terrorists” was used to block protests. Amazon has several books and DVDs on The Battle in Seattle.

20 Years After The Battle of Seattle: Vandana Shiva & Lori Wallach on Historic 1999 WTO Protests
Twenty years ago this week, tens of thousands of activists gathered in Seattle to shut down a ministerial meeting of the World Trade Organization. Grassroots organizers successfully blocked world leaders, government trade ministers, and corporate executives from meeting to sign a global trade deal that many called deeply undemocratic, harmful to workers’ rights, the environment and Indigenous people globally.
On November 30, 1999, activists formed a human chain around the Seattle convention center and shut down the city’s downtown. Police responded by firing tear gas and rubber bullets into the mostly peaceful crowd. The protests went on for five days and resulted in 600 arrests and in the eventual collapse of the talks, as well as the resignation of Seattle’s police chief. The protests were documented in the film “This is What Democracy Looks Like.”
Democracy Now! was in the streets of Seattle 20 years ago. During one live broadcast, we spoke to two leading critics of the WTO: Indian physicist and activist Vandana Shiva and Lori Wallach of Public Citizen, who join us on the show today.

Trump’s Re-Election Means End of Globalization
Globalist “Guru” Claims Trump’s Re-Election Will Mean ‘The Death Of Global Order’ shows that this re-election is about globalization vs. nationalism.
In Praise of Nationalism
MEGA Conference Celebrates Nationalism! shows that European nations adopted Trump’s “MAGA” slogan to create “MEGA” -- “Make Europe Great Again!”.
Dr. Robert Malone gave the speech In Praise of Nationalism and the Diversity of Nations (with video) 4/28/24
I come here today to praise nationalism and the diversity of nations as laboratories for innovation and adaptation to changing conditions.
There are many lessons we can learn from the COVID crisis, but one of the key ones has to do with “what is globalism”.…. Globalism is central planning….The former residents of the Soviet Union understand central planning. ….This globalization thrust is basically to support the agenda of transnational, globalist organizations, particularly corporations in their cooperative relationships with large transnational governmental organizations. This public private cooperation has a name. The name was given by Benito Mussolini…. The name is Fascism.… We have to call things by their true names despite what that may imply or how the press may react to it.
We are not far right. We are center right. The truth is that our opponents have become far left, but we allow press and corporate media to redefine language and demonize us as far right, but the truth is that they are the radicals. They are the far left. We have to refuse to allow them to capture and pervert our language. We must take it back. Language controls thought. It controls how we structure our understanding of the world….
The ultimate component of a decentralized adaptive world is the family. We need to celebrate the family as the core of the principle and thrust of the concept of subsidiarity.
The weaponization of fear via propaganda to control people is unethical. We have seen repeated justification by academics and bureaucrats and governments and transnational organizations that the weaponization of fear is acceptable in the service of the overall public good as they define it. In the case of the COVID crisis in the service of public health, weaponization of fear is unethical, and it should not be allowed. It should not be tolerated….
Will WikiLeaks Play a Role in 2024 Election?
Had Assange been free in 2019, WikiLeaks would probably have published information about the Biden laptop. If so, Trump probably would have been re-elected in 2020. There would have been no January 6 trials jailing hundreds of Americans who went to DC because they believed the election had been stolen and hoped VP Pence would call for a recount, as Trump had requested.
The FBI suppressed information about Hunter Biden’s laptop just before the 2020 election. Shock Poll: 8 in 10 Think Biden Laptop Cover-Up Changed Election. “A whopping 79 percent of Americans suggest President Donald Trump likely would have won reelection if voters had known the truth about Hunter Biden’s laptop—that it was real and not “Russian disinformation”. So, the FBI (along with Big Tech and the corporate media) engaged in election interference in 2020. Overview of Federal Criminal Laws Prohibiting Interference with Voting.
Had Trump been re-elected in 2020, there would have been no open border that has let in millions of illegal aliens and fentanyl from China. Southern Border Crisis Is Bigger Than Texas shows that “The fentanyl epidemic is killing more than 70,000 people a year in the United States, making it the leading cause of death for Americans ages 18 to 49.”
Are Democrats Waging War on America Now? shows four attempts to derail Trump with lawfare – including the threat to jail him and keep him from attending the Republican National Convention. With the apparent assassination attempt on July 13, it looks like globalists will stop at nothing to keep Trump from being re-elected.
Assange has shown that WikiLeaks has the power to change the world. Never did the world need his help more than now! Does WikiLeaks have information about the apparent assassination attempt?
If so, will Assange and WikiLeaks play a decisive role again?
