Here Assange is spelling it out for us so it appears obvious. But you have to have the time and motivation to do this work. And it is dangerous, as you can see from the threats to Assange which have him holed up in the embassy in London, and other whistle blowers imprisoned or fled. He was accused of rape and about to be extradited, and because it was a woman's issue, many turned against him. </div><div><br></div><div>The Guardian did publish some of the material, yet there is no guarantee that publicising the material in itself, will have much effect, without the analysis that someone like Assange who has devoted himself to this, can bring to it. </div><div><br></div><div>It is not to blame others for what we have not been willing or able to undertake ourselves, but to appreciate the persistence and dedication that he has given. And I'm sure there are many others like him, unsung heroes, that we never hear about, who end up forgotten behind bars. </div><div><br></div><div>Anna</div><div><br></div><div><br><br><br></div><div><br>On 18 Sep 2015, at 23:56, Orsan <<a href="mailto:orsan1234@gmail.com">orsan1234@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div>What about lack of interest from Left academic, Marxists, anarchists, institutional actors, parties, NGOs, who stayed behind in supporting Assange, why they did not use the millions worth findings to question, research, and more important</div><div id="AppleMailSignature">publicize such documentation <span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">massively unleashing and revealing the truth</span>?
