I agree with your take on Julian Assange and Wikileaks. He is obviously more valuable to the cause than Jones and most likely not controlled by anyone, as his enemies are global.

What do you think will come about with Assange? It is a "hot potato" for the UK & US and how they handle it will be key to reaction from the global masses. It will be an extremely tricky narrative for them to pull off. I think that there are very large pockets in Europe that are actually much more pro-liberty and "pro-Wikileaks" so-to-speak than in the US. In other words, they might put up more of a "resistance".

A short while back @cynthiamckinney posted an article What Can We Do to Save Julian Assange's Life?. I had answered her question by suggestion the following:

This is how:
Organize an event to get 250,000 people (including many from all around the world) to have a march all the way to the embassy and DEMAND his immediate release OR ELSE redirect these people to go to the British Parliament and CAMP THERE until it is DONE!

Didn't get any response from her though. But I do think if someone can organize such a march (which technically and legally can easily be done), it could have strong enough of an effect to get Assange in the clear. Problem is, there is no one (including organizations) of clout willing to organize such a march; and it really boggles my mind why nobody is spearheading this!

Regardless of what unfolds, Assange will go down in history as one of the greats.
