Who is Julian Assange?

Julian Assange is an exceptionally talented and intelligent former computer “hacker” who strongly believes that governments and government departments and agencies need a lot more transparency in order to be kept in check against the excesses of abuses of power and office that so often comes with secrecy. Corruption itself is able to thrive where there is secrecy but not openness and this also applies to corporations, banks, and organisations.

Julian Assange is an Australian citizen something the Australian government and establishment media are not keen to highlight, for obvious reasons: there is an obligation to protect and assist Australian citizens, and this Aussie is being targeted by Australia's powerful military ally master, the United States government and notably the Pentagon (Department of Defence).
