More quotes by Julian Assange
We released 400,000 classified documents, the most extraordinary history of a war to ever have been released in our civilization. Those documents cover 109,000 deaths. That is serious matter.
Julian Assange
You can either be informed and your own rulers, or you can be ignorant and have someone else, who is not ignorant, rule over you.
Julian Assange
Every law, every constitution, every regulative decision is based upon what people are discussing in their community. It's based upon our sum knowledge of history and the present.
Julian Assange
If you were following the [Barack] Obama campaign back then, closely, you could see it had become very close to banking interests. So I think you can't properly understand Hillary Clinton's foreign policy without understanding Saudi Arabia.
Julian Assange
Hillary Clinton represents a whole network of people and a network of relationships with particular states.
Julian Assange
My motivation for 20 years, for 10 years with WikiLeaks, has been to publish true information that is otherwise unsayable. So we're not in competition, if you like.
Julian Assange
The difficulty that WikiLeaks has, of course, is that we can't go around speculating on who our sources are. That would be irresponsible.
Julian Assange
I saw that publishing all over the world was deeply constrained by self-censorship, economics and political censorship, while the military-industrial complex was growing at a tremendous rate, and the amount of information that it was collecting about all of us vastly exceeded the public imagination.
Julian Assange
The US presidency will continue to represent the major power groups of the United States - big business and the military - regardless of who the talking head is.
Julian Assange
Here then is the truth about the Truth the Truth is not bridge, sturdy to every step, a marvel of bound planks and supports from the known into the unknown, but a surging sea of smashed wood, flotsam and drowning sailors.
Julian Assange
Email says that no, it is the governments of Saudi and Qatar that have been funding ISIS.
Julian Assange
Everyone should understand that when they add their friends to Facebook, they are doing free work for United States intelligence agencies in building this database for them.
Julian Assange
Seeing ongoing political reforms that have a real impact on people all over the world is extremely satisfying. But we want every person who's having a dispute with their kindergarten to feel confident about sending us material.
Julian Assange
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.
Julian Assange
If wars can be started by lies, they can be stopped by truth.
Julian Assange
Which country is suffering from too much freedom of speech? Name it, is there one?
Julian Assange
So when Putin goes out to buy a Coke, thirty seconds later it is known in Washington DC.
Julian Assange
I don't like the word transparency cold dead glass is transparent. I prefer education or understanding, which are more human.
Julian Assange
Those who are repeatedly passive in the face of injustice soon find their character corroded.
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.
