Publisher’s note: Assuming he is still even alive, Australian computer programmer and Wikileaks co-founder Julian Assange remains the most important global journalist of our Digital Age as we move into 2020. Much misunderstood and much maligned, Assange and his team of journalists, programmers and lawyers have partnered with whistleblowers for more than a decade to level the geopolitical playing field with regard to news, information and analysis, spotlighting the excesses of wealthy multinational corporations and the governments who do their bidding. This new book, In Defense Of Julian Assange, provides crucial context for Assange and Wikileaks’ work – as citizens and thinkers from Pamela Anderson (yes, THAT Pamela Anderson) to Noam Chomsky weigh in on Assange and his contributions to independent news. “Amazon” it onto your Kindle reader, visit JSTOR for a complete overview., or buy it online from ORBooks like we did. We in the Vermont independent journalism community owe a debt of gratitude to the Wikileaks team, which continues their remarkable work. Visit Wikileaks’ web site here., or follow them on social media – Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter – while you still can. Look for a review of this new book here this winter. And below, find Pamela Anderson defending Assange’a work on Megan McCain’s THE VIEW television “news” program last year. #Gold.
