Excerpt from the article:
"As the list of powerful enemies of WikiLeaks has grown lengthy, the crowd of mainstream journalists willing to speak out on behalf of Julian Assange has become shorter by the year. This is in part thanks to the “whole-of-government” attempts to destroy WikiLeaks, both overtly and covertly, through tangible attacks and attacks on the character of WikiLeaks’ Editor-In-Chief.
For that reason, Ecuador’s support for Assange is more critical now than it has ever been. At the beginning of Julian’s stay in the embassy, he was visited by many well-known public figures who would stand for his life to be protected. That group has sadly been shortened, both through the propagation of false media narratives about him and by unfortunate, untimely deaths.
If Assange continues to be isolated from the outside world, or in the worst-case scenario loses asylum at the Ecuadorian embassy in London, the loss to investigative journalism will impact the entire planet. Corrupt politicians, warmongers, technocrats and intelligence agencies will breathe a loud sigh of relief. The light that WikiLeaks shines on the corrupt plutocracy will be irrevocably dimmed. Powers and interests behind the architecture of global war will operate in secret without fear of exposure.
Dangerously inept intelligence agencies, especially the CIA, would continue to operate outside the purview of public vision. We would have lost an important public voice warning us of the dangers of artificial intelligence. Whistleblowers may be less likely to turn to somewhere that their anonymity will be 100% secured and protected, as we have seen in WikiLeaks’ actions towards alleged sources such as Chelsea Manning. WikiLeaks’ protection and advocacy on behalf of its sources is absolutely unmatched."
