As attempts to evict Julian Assange from the Ecuadorian embassy in London\u00a0get more and more aggressive<\/a>, we are seeing a proportionate increase in the establishment smear campaign against him and against WikiLeaks. This is not a coincidence.<\/p>\n

The planned campaign to remove Assange from political asylum and the greatly escalated smear campaign to destroy public support for Assange are both occurring at the same time that Assange has been cut off from the world<\/a> without internet, phone calls or visitors, completely unable to defend himself from the smear campaign. This, also, is not a coincidence.<\/p>\n

The ability to control the narrative about what is going on in the world is of unparalleled importance to the plutocrats who use governments as tools<\/a> to advance their agendas. The agenda to make an example of a leak publisher with a massive platform who has repeatedly exposed the corruption of the establishment upon which western plutocrats have built their empires will require continuous narrative spin, since the precedent set by prosecuting a journalist<\/a> for publishing authentic documents would arguably constitute a greater leap in the direction of Orwellian dystopia than the Patriot Act.<\/p>\n
