“What was he like? I’ve always found Julian a warm and pleasant person, witty, knowledgeable and intelligent. He has a very wide range of interests and he is passionately committed to justice and creating a better world.”
Assange registered the domain leaks.org in 1999 but then, he has said, “I didn’t do anything with it” until founding WikiLeaks in 2006. He left Australia and travelled in Europe, Africa and Asia, sometimes working as a computer programmer. Several of his friends have described him turning up with a backpack, looking for somewhere to sleep. “He’s a very minimalist human being,” Dreyfus says. “He’s like a religious aesthete, two robes and a pair of sandals. Aesthetes live a very sombre existence in terms of material goods and that’s what he’s like.”
Very interesting, thank you. He certainly is looking like a hero.
He’s actually starting to resemble Geert Wilders in appearance!
One thing for sure, Assange has been a mover in history. Few individuals have exercised such power. The question is will he end in triumph or tragedy?
I hope Assange eventually finds a refuge in his native land, and cops a residential cattle station in the outback with the greatest ISP bandwidth in the world.
He surely exposed the left in the USA for the liberal fascists they truly have become and completely fractured the left’s imagery created by the MSM.
Assange is a libertarian’s hero.
