Julian Assange quotes about
military mean use
All over the world, the barriers between what is inside an organisation and outside an organisation are being smoothed out. In the military, the use of contractors means that what is the military and what is not the military is smoothed out.
track over-you information
Don’t damage computer systems you break into (including crashing them); don’t change the information in those systems (except for altering logs to cover your tracks); and share information.
feminism nests revolutionary
I fell into a hornets' nest of revolutionary feminism.
dna data ideas
I want to set up a new standard: ‘scientific journalism.’ If you publish a paper on DNA, you are required, by all the good biological journals, to submit the data that has informed your research—the idea being that people will replicate it, check it, verify it. So this is something that needs to be done for journalism as well. There is an immediate power imbalance, in that readers are unable to verify what they are being told, and that leads to abuse.
country giving justice
Large newspapers are routinely censored by legal costs. It is time this stopped. It is time a country said, enough is enough, justice must be seen, history must be preserved, and we will give shelter from the storm.
cells wikileaks demand
WikiLeaks will not comply with legally abusive requests from Scientology any more than WikiLeaks has complied with similar demands from Swiss banks, Russian offshore stem-cell centers, former African kleptocrats, or the Pentagon.
brother home apples
Big Brother is home. He is installed in the item you just dragged home from the Apple store.
justice way achieve
One of the best ways to achieve justice is to expose injustice.
art powerful reality
Reality is an aspect of property. It must be seized. And investigative journalism is the noble art of seizing reality back from the powerful.
direct-action cryptography violent
Cryptography is the ultimate form of non-violent direct action.
thinking perception able
Power is a thing of perception. They don't need to be able to kill you. They just need you to think they are able to kill you
tired politics newspapers
Why is it that govt employees makes the best spouses? Because afterthey come back from work, they are not tired and they already readthe newspapers.
summer men talking
The whole universe or the structure that perceives it is a worthy opponent, but try as I may I can not escape the sound of suffering. Perhaps as an old man I will take great comfort in pottering around in a lab and gently talking to students in the summer evening and will accept suffering with insouciance. But not now; men in their prime, if they have convictions are tasked to act on them.
messengers revealing uncomfortable
Dont shoot the messenger for revealing uncomfortable truths.
