Julian Assange’s aim of free speech

When governments stop torturing and killing people, and when corporations stop abusing the legal system, then perhaps it will be time to ask if free-speech activists are accountable.” – Julian Assange

A dream come true for WikiLeaks founder, DAILY NATION 2 Dec 10, The founder of the whistleblowing website WikiLeaks whose exclusive dossiers have captured the attention of the world is a man who seems to have achieved his dream.

Julian Assange had dreamt that one day the Internet would be used to step government and corporate excesses.

Before he posted the diplomatic cables that have put the US at the centre of a global diplomatic storm, he posted a secret video shot by an American attack helicopter of Iraqi civilians and a Reuters photographer being mowed down, apparently in cold blood.

Recordings of US air crew mocking the dead deeply embarrassed the Pentagon, outraged Iraqi journalists and enhanced the aura surrounding Assange, a figure so elusive that he even refuses to confirm his age: “I prefer to keep them bastards guessing.” he told Sunday Times……………

Assange who has caused major embarrassment for both the Pentagon and US State Department by the diplomatic cables has announced that his next target will be the private sector and an American bank in particular.

Mr Assange, 39, told The Telegraph in London that he had a new set of secret documents that, when released, will trigger another Enron scandal.

“It will give a true insight into how banks behave in a way that will stimulate reforms,” he told Forbes in an interview published on Monday night.

He said the documents include secret BP files and other energy companies, pharmaceuticals and “industrial espionage.”……….

1.This Month

Reluctantly, I have realised that the climate crisis is the most huge and urgent problem for humanity, now. This website is not able to do justice to this enormous topic. All that I can do is to pick out significant information as it arrives, and also note some, (not nearly enough) of the climate events happening.

Meanwhile, nuclear-news will focus on its original purpose, to reveal the disastrous effects of the nuclear industry, and to refute the propaganda lies from the nuclear lobby.

Before we enter “a new nuclear age” – learn from the newly declassified Chernobyl health records

April 7, 2019

Fortunately, Chernobyl health records are now available to the public. They show that people living in the radioactive traces fell ill from cancers, respiratory illness, anaemia, auto-immune disorders, birth defects, and fertility problems two to three times more frequently in the years after the accident than before. In a highly contaminated Belarusian town of Veprin, just six of 70 children in 1990 were characterised as “healthy”. The rest had one chronic disease or another. On average, the Veprin children had in their bodies 8,498 bq/kg of radioactive caesium (20 bq/kg is considered safe).

For decades, researchers have puzzled over strange clusters of thyroid cancer, leukaemia and birth defects among people living in Cumbria, which, like southern Belarus, is an overlooked hotspot of radioactivity from cold war decades of nuclear bomb production and nuclear power accidents.

Currently, policymakers are advocating a massive expansion of nuclear power as a way to combat climate change. Before we enter a new nuclear age, the declassified Chernobyl health records raise questions that have been left unanswered about the impact of chronic low doses of radioactivity on human health.
