Of Julian Assange and his ethical Journalism

The widespread furore over granting of asylum by Equador recently to the Wikileaks founder Julian Assange hogged the headlines. The UK is desperately trying to assert its flagging supremacy in the world perhaps hounded by its dominance of its erstwhile colonies a couple of century’s back. Britain has even threatened to raid the embassy in Equador where Assange is currently holding siege and freeze the economic aid promised earlier.

The contention that Assange has been accused of sexual assault in Sweden and hence is hounded by the US allies is dumbfounded.

The aforesaid case has been reopened to indict Assange in some form or another so as to stop the cable leaks thereby spilling the beans and names of some influential persons and their so called misdeeds.

The case against Assange seems pretty vindictive. The Woman who had accused Assange of molestation and rape has considerably weakened her case when she had reportedly hosted a party ‘’the day after the sexual misconduct’’ to which the accused was also invited and twitting a message about the party .. Now, was the party hosted by her to ‘’celebrate’’ the sexual assault? Perhaps only SHE as the plaintiff or accuser in this case, can answer this sensitive question.

The innumerable sexual fervors and scandals perpetrated by the US Presidents (only SOME of them and not SUM of them have been mentioned here!!) between Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings, Woodrow Wilson and Edith Galt and between the  Kennedy Brothers (Robert & John) and Marilyn Monroe needs to be minutely scanned by a neutron microscope so as to clear the myths surrounding these stalwarts. The so called word - ‘Chastity’ is an autonym for the Americans and hence it is better that they look for some other alibi to chain the likes of Assange.

Half of the US presidents TILL DATE would be behind bars if the same principle (which is currently forced on Assange) is applied to them.

All this has to be brought to light as the Americans are falsely implicating him of espionage and willing to try him under their law which can be twisted at will and could hand him a minimum of 10 years of hard labor which is crude, unethical, vindictive and in bad taste. Some of the republicans have gone ahead and wish that he be, assassinated at the earliest opportunity. The day their interests are threatened, their crooked vices are brazenly exposed, the Yankees can stoop to the lowest possible ebb, to get even. 

Every country whose dirty linen has been washed in public (even India is one of them) is after Julian assange and plan to settle scores with him to avenge the insult of being demystified of their true colors and wily actions. The former CM of UP, Mayawati had sent an empty plane to collect some shoes/clothes belonging to her. This leak infuriated her so much that she called Assange a lunatic. But at the back of her mind she might be wondering where and how the hell does information that too, an accurate one reach him??

The wicki cables has revealed that the breed of politicians the world over, follow a certain trend, a certain cult hiding behind the veil of uprightness and are always up to, something sinister at their back of their crooked minds.

The truth is that the wiki leaks has left them (all countries named in various scams) fuming, with their mouth, full of bitterness which is difficult to swallow and shameful to spit out. The World has come to know the truth and the expose has left them having to fend for themselves and cutting a very sorry figure while desperately trying to mop up the spilt guilt.

Julian Assange had to go through a difficult, trying and tumultuous childhood. He had to change his school upteen times as his mother was trying to settle herself after numerous marriages and divorces. The sharpness of his inquisitive mind was evident in him being brilliant in maths and science.

He immersed himself in hacking –read ethical hacking which evidently has helped the Police/law enforcing dept. in solving and curbing complicated cases relating to cyber crimes. His intellectual work though has been acknowledged by many of his detractors thus speaking volumes of his creative genius.  

We should acknowledge his immense contribution in leaking cables containing crucial information which has helped us to understand the dirty political aspirations, both intra country and inter country. The Cable leaks has instilled a fear psychosis amongst those in power and which possibly, might pave way to a clear and open governance so badly needed at this crucial juncture. Ethical Journalism can change the world forever and one wishes that this happens sooner than later.
