THE PERSECUTION OF ASSANGE BEGINS AS EXPECTED

THE PERSECUTION OF ASSANGE BEGINS AS EXPECTED
Beldeu Singh

Persecution of Assange and the Interpol "red notice" to question him on charges of sex and molestation was expected with fears of risk to his security, although the wikileaks are not an attack on humanity or the international community as the US Secretary of State would like the people of the world to see them in that light. Wikileaks is purely and truly a revealation on how diplomats work and how some of them conduct themselves as rogues on taxpayers’ money. It is a service to the public. It is a tool, like whistle-blowing to contain trains of thought and behaviour that does not run on the professional track.

Above all, the greatest lesson to learn, has to be learnt by governments from the Katherine Gunn case that asked her to perform an illegal operation. Being brought up with proper values, her upright nature saved the nation some precious pounds and time that would have been used to serve the interests of another state! That request for an illegal operation was an attack on the international community and it came from the US but it was never condemned by Hillary Clinton and will stand condemned by the UK or the US government..

So, while the leaks may be harmful to diplomats and many governments, they are timely revelations that put power back in the hands of the public and pays up the powerful and crucial role of whistle-blowing covering “every major issue” including wars and how some of the officers of the military conducted themselves or were ordered to carry out those acts in that manner. The grand and noble purpose of the leaks is being served to properly bare rogue the conduct of people ‘without scruples’. The embarassment by leaks is a good thing in itself. We the people hereby welcome to the institutionalization of leaks and look forward to its celebration through WIKILEAKS PARTIES.

The adviser to the Canadian Prime Minister, Tom Flanagan, must be forced to step down as this person with a grave mind has called for Assange to be assassinated! Other politicians in the developed countries are not far off, mentally from Tom Flanagan. US politician, Mike Hukabee, a former Republican hopeful said that “those responsible for the leaks were guilty of treason and should face execution” as the leaks may turn out to be disasterous but in situations like this, it may be better to put their IQ on the electric chair rather than exhibit a Taliban mentality and incline oneself to killing.

Governments should deal with the embarassment and the outrage instead of proving the fact that leaders in developed counteries are no different from leaders in the developing countries and dictators in the third world who go preferably for assissination or fashionably opt for persecution through prosecution based on sex charges. Truth is truth as it is divine and it shall prevail.
