#52 - Julian Assange's Last Stand
Pietro and Max look at the Julian Assange story on the eve of the decision in London over whether he is to be extradited to the United States. The two look at the history of the Assange saga, dating all the way back to the inception of Wikileaks in 2006 and still yet to culminate, with Assange’s fate hanging in the balance over the next few days.
The two analyse the libertarian insights to be gleaned from Assange’s story, looking at everything from the State’s tyrannical persecution of journalism, the hidden atrocities and war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan, Trump and Hillary Clinton’s role in all this, and much more. Overwhelmingly, this is a crisis of freedom of speech, freedom of information, freedom of journalism, and is a textbook example of the ongoing battle between the rights of the State against the rights of the Individual (in this case, a hero, Julian Assange).
