Cryptography is the essential building block of independence for organisations on the internet, just like armies are the essential building blocks of states, because otherwise one state just takes over another.

More quotes by Julian Assange
We don't have sources who are dissidents on other sources. Should they come forward, that would be a tricky situation for us, but we're presumably acting in such a way that people feel morally compelled to continue our mission, not to screw it up.
Julian Assange
A lot of people who work for WikiLeaks have the same instinct as me: If you are pushed you push back.
Julian Assange
Although I still write, research and investigate, my role is primarily that of a publisher and editor-in-chief who organises and directs other journalists.
Julian Assange
Journalism should be more like science. As far as possible, facts should be verifiable. If journalists want long-term credibility for their profession, they have to go in that direction. Have more respect for readers.
Julian Assange
I had had a lot of experience in bringing the Internet to Australia, and I saw that knowledge in the hands of people achieves reform.
Julian Assange
That is vaguely conspiratorial, in a networking sense. We have published their meeting notes.
Julian Assange
This movement is not about the destruction of law, but the construction of law.
Julian Assange
We have some material on spying by a major government on the tech industry. Industrial espionage.
Julian Assange
WikiLeaks is a source protection organization. We are famous for never having exposed one of our sources over 10 years. That's why sources trust us and they come to us.
Julian Assange
Sweden is the Saudi Arabia of feminism.
Julian Assange
The emails that give evidence of access for money and how Hillary Clinton herself benefited from this and how she is benefitting politically, are quite extraordinary.
Julian Assange
There is unity in the oppression. There must be absolute unity and determination, in the response.
Julian Assange
Every War in the past 50 Years is a Result of Media Lies
Julian Assange
WikiLeaks is designed to make capitalism more free and ethical.
Julian Assange
There are the Podesta emails we've been publishing. [John] Podesta is Hillary Clinton's primary campaign manager, so there's a thread that runs through all these emails there are quite a lot of pay-for-play, as they call it, giving access in exchange for money to states, individuals and corporations.
Julian Assange
The best type of government comes from a government that is scrutinized by the people when they have true information about our governments, major corporations, other power actors in society.
Julian Assange
The greater the power, the more need there is for transparency, because if the power is abused, the result can be so enormous. On the other hand, those people who do not have power, we mustn't reduce their power even more by making them yet more transparent.
Julian Assange
If we can only live once, let it be a daring adventure.
Julian Assange
WikiLeaks is really a litmus test for those people who walk the talk in the media. How much will they really follow their protestations to be brave publishers, and how much do they really want to lick the boots of power? Well, you can tell by their engagement with us and what they do.
Julian Assange
Has WikiLeaks been forced to do one thing rather than another in response to resource constraints? Yes. Constantly.
Julian Assange
