With Julian Assange being set free, the idea of whether him exposing war crimes committed by the United States military put US military men and women in harms way.
For an honest assessment, one need only look at whether or not any US military personnel have died due to the war crimes that Assange exposed. And, since there have been NO reports of instances of any service person in any branch of the military dying due Assange's reporting, I believe it safe to assume that there are none. I make this claim because, If there were a single incident that could be attributed to Assange's action, you'd beat believe it would have been brought up by the Press. Afterall, the US Department of Justice was trying to convict Assange for crimes that would carry up to 175 years in prison. For such punishment, you would think Assange's accusers would have to point out at least one instance of a single service person losing their life because of what Assange was accused of doing.
More important than whether Assange put a single US service person in harms way is whether American leadership has put multiple US service personnel in harms way. And, while we're at it, why not ask how many American citizens have been made targets because of American foreign policy. And, while we're at it, why not ask how many foreign military personnel and private citizens have died or been murdered due to American intervention.
I think one would be hard pressed to find a single incident of a US military person or private citizen death that could be solely attributed to anything Julian Assange has done. I know that, given the millions of deaths caused by American intervention around the planet, it would be easy to determine between Assange and US leadership, which one is responsible for putting lives at risk. And, only one of the two entities referenced in the previous sentence has stopped doing the things that allegedly put people's lives at risk. This clip should serve as a hint as to which one continues to cause or incite violence worldwide
In 2018, I wrote a book highlighting the problems Humanity would face if more power, wealth, and control was funneled to a small group of elite individuals, groups, or organizations. In my book, I provided solutions (from myself and others) to the inevitable problems and also a means for the Public to analyze, compare, and contrast the words and deeds of those we choose to follow against reality. In my book Solutions: Enough complaining. Let's fix America.
In "Solutions...", I provide the means for readers to disseminate information as provided by their news sources of choice, their elected officials, and any other authority they choose to follow. The book also offers a means to hold their leaders up, not just to a higher standard than is currently accepted but to one that would improve their lives and the lives of those for whom they care.
