Julian Assange “There is no society anymore. What exists is a transnational security elite busy dividing the world among themselves (and the like) with their tax dollars. The warmongers in this country and other countries have formed an alliance to lock up money from the US, the EU, every NATO country and to their own (financial) elites by laundering it in the blood of the people spilled in the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen, Pakistan to come.” The younger ones may be frightened, and perhaps forgetful among the older ones, because the sentences that Julian Assange uttered at the anti-war demonstration in London in 2011 are sentences that he could have uttered yesterday. They describe a pattern: the pattern of Western value wars and their three recurring characteristics: The values with which they are legitimized do not exist - at least not in those who claim to represent them with a gun they are held in. And: They - without exception, attacks & profit wars - are "expected", orchestrated & executed by NATO marketed as a "Defense Alliance" and draw the further concentration of assets into the hands of Less and thereby serve - without exception, but not exclusively - the profit multiplication of professional war profiteers. Always the same - in time loops, auratic waves, historical episodes. The same pattern, over and over again: the same crackling argument scheme & narrative absolutism. The same claims, twisting facts, self-assurance. Plus the same robbery of society and those who carry them. The same social poverty, the same mental emptiness and the same ethical depravity. And always the same pattern of elite enrichment, "security", "enemy" & killing. Again and again and again. We who are old enough to remember (with Assange) the last wave of Western value wars can only say one thing to the memoryless youth of today: that they will remember one day. When, after (in 15 years) the next wave of Western value wars breaks out, she meets a boy without memory. Assange was right then and is still right today. We must close our own networks and alliances to assert our values against the self-interested cynicism of warmongers. In this country and other countries. 2 years ago today finally Julian Assange was released after 14 years of political persecution & imprisonment.
