Julian Assange Random Quote Generator

the-tester:

I made this with quotes from speeches and interviews by Julian Assange who is a representative of Wikileaks. It’s a simple and interesting way to see the ideas of Wikileaks and also many of the deep insights that leaked documents (and the subsequent reactions to them) have provided.

This is an ongoing project and will be updated regularly.

WikiLeaks: gathering secrets in the new age

IN THE first few minutes of yesterday morning, John Clarke - less a comedian than a critic of the human condition - was musing on the raging topic of the night at Australian journalism’s annual prize bash, the Walkley Awards. The topic: WikiLeaks and its founder, Julian Assange.

As guest presenters, Clarke and his co-performer, Brian Dawe, had spent some time backstage. Behind the curtain, he said, an iPhone link had been set up so some of the country’s most prominent media identities could send messages of support to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, in custody in Britain pending moves to extradite him to Sweden.

Clarke and Dawe had sent such a message. And so did another notably hard marker, Laurie Oakes, judging from the swipe he took at Prime Minister Julia Gillard for criticising WikiLeaks’ disclosures that have embarrassed her government.

What Gillard and Attorney-General Robert McClelland had said about WikiLeaks’ release of US diplomatic cables was ”ridiculous”, growled the colossus of the Canberra Press Gallery to much applause as he accepted the Gold Walkley for nailing some leaks of his own.

”To brand what the WikiLeaks site has done as illegal when there’s no evidence of any breach of the law, I think is demeaning … I think as journalists we should make that our view,” said Oakes, to more applause.

Open letter: To Julia Gillard, re Julian Assange - Unleashed (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)

Open letter: To Julia Gillard, re Julian Assange

2056  Comments

Jeff Sparrow and Elizabeth O’Shea

Editor’s note: There’s no doubt that WikiLeaks and its figurehead-on-the-run Julian Assange are among the hottest items for discussion on the planet right now.

Feelings are running high, and many in this country take the view that the Australian Government ought do more to assist its vilified, beleaguered citizen.

Assange has become a cause celebre, as evidenced by the signatories to this open letter, a who’s who of sorts, from Noam Chomsky to Helen Garner…

We wrote the letter below because we believe that Julian Assange is entitled to all the protections enshrined in the rule of law – and that the Australian Government has an obligation to ensure he receives them.

The signatures here have been collected in the course of a day-and-a-half, primarily from people in publishing, law and politics. The signatories hold divergent views about WikiLeaks and its operations. But they are united in a determination to see Mr Assange treated fairly.

We know that many others would have liked to sign. But given the urgency of the situation, we though it expedient to publish now rather than collect more names.

If, however, you agree with the sentiments expressed, we encourage you to leave your name in the comments section.

Dear Prime Minister,

We note with concern the increasingly violent rhetoric directed towards Julian Assange of WikiLeaks.

“We should treat Mr Assange the same way as other high-value terrorist targets: Kill him,” writes conservative columnist Jeffrey T Kuhner in the Washington Times.

William Kristol, former chief of staff to vice president Dan Quayle, asks, “Why can’t we use our various assets to harass, snatch or neutralize Julian Assange and his collaborators, wherever they are?”

“Why isn’t Julian Assange dead?” writes the prominent US pundit Jonah Goldberg.

“The CIA should have already killed Julian Assange,” says John Hawkins on the Right Wing News site.

Sarah Palin, a likely presidential candidate, compares Assange to an Al Qaeda leader; Rick Santorum, former Pennsylvania senator and potential presidential contender, accuses Assange of “terrorism”.

And so on and so forth.

Such calls cannot be dismissed as bluster. Over the last decade, we have seen the normalisation of extrajudicial measures once unthinkable, from ‘extraordinary rendition’ (kidnapping) to ‘enhanced interrogation’ (torture).

In that context, we now have grave concerns for Mr Assange’s wellbeing.

Irrespective of the political controversies surrounding WikiLeaks, Mr Assange remains entitled to conduct his affairs in safety, and to receive procedural fairness in any legal proceedings against him.

As is well known, Mr Assange is an Australian citizen.

We therefore call upon you to condemn, on behalf of the Australian Government, calls for physical harm to be inflicted upon Mr Assange, and to state publicly that you will ensure Mr Assange receives the rights and protections to which he is entitled, irrespective of whether the unlawful threats against him come from individuals or states.

We urge you to confirm publicly Australia’s commitment to freedom of political communication; to refrain from cancelling Mr Assange’s passport, in the absence of clear proof that such a step is warranted; to provide assistance and advocacy to Mr Assange; and do everything in your power to ensure that any legal proceedings taken against him comply fully with the principles of law and procedural fairness.

A statement by you to this effect should not be controversial – it is a simple commitment to democratic principles and the rule of law.

We believe this case represents something of a watershed, with implications that extend beyond Mr Assange and WikiLeaks. In many parts of the globe, death threats routinely silence those who would publish or disseminate controversial material. If these incitements to violence against Mr Assange, a recipient of Amnesty International’s Media Award, are allowed to stand, a disturbing new precedent will have been established in the English-speaking world.

In this crucial time, a strong statement by you and your Government can make an important difference.

We look forward to your response.
