Once again Neo-liberalism is rearing its ugly head.<p>It was fine and fashionable for Wikileaks to show the dirty laundry of the non-western world. Celebrities and the commentariat praised him and the organisation.<p>However when Assange chose to disclose the Iraq files and Hillary Clinton's dirty laundry. The narrative was turned hostile quickly.<p>One thing to note this is more complicated than a right wing/liberal split. This is about the institutional powerbase that has grown over the last 50 years of Globalisation.<p>If you cross their path, then you are fair game.
Hopefully Assange will not be killed off like Seth Rich or Epstein.
