Julian Assange quotes about
doctors secret records
We have a way of dealing with information that has sort of personal - personally identifying information in it. But there are legitimate secrets - you know, your records with your doctor; that's a legitimate secret. But we deal with whistleblowers that are coming forward that are really sort of well motivated.

Bitcoin actually has the balance and incentives right, and that is why it is starting to take off.
successful pipeline gaps
As we've gotten more successful, there's a gap between the speed of our publishing pipeline and the speed of our receiving submissions pipeline. Our pipeline of leaks has been increasing exponentially as our profile rises, and our ability to publish is increasing linearly.

In my role as Wikileaks editor, I've been involved in fighting off many legal attacks. To do that, and keep our sources safe, we have had to spread assets, encrypt everything, and move telecommunications and people around the world to activate protective laws in different national jurisdictions.
wikileaks ethical capitalism
WikiLeaks is designed to make capitalism more free and ethical.
book reading looks
When it comes to the point where you occasionally look forward to being in prison on the basis that you might be able to spend a day reading a book, the realization dawns that perhaps the situation has become a little more stressful than you would like.
way truth-is
The truth is the only way that we can get anywhere.
justice humanity nobel
It is getting to the point where the mark of international distinction and service to humanity is no longer the Nobel Peace Price, but an espionage indictment from the US Department of Justice.
situation sensible knows
You can't do anything sensible until you know what the situation is that you're in.
people helping vulnerable
I enjoy helping people who are vulnerable.
