The frenetic\u00a0mass media propaganda campaign<\/a>\u00a0against Julian Assange was easily the creepiest and most Orwellian thing I\u2019ve ever witnessed. And now it is silent. It did its job and then disappeared, before the public could really notice what was happening. It\u2019s absolutely stunning.<\/p>\n

You wouldn\u2019t know it now, but between late 2016 and Assange\u2019s arrest social media was full of blue-checkmarked narrative managers falling all over each other to be the first to come up with the day\u2019s hottest smear painting a heroic journalist as a villain. Day after day after day.\u00a0Smearing Assange was one of the easiest ways for an aspiring journalist to show current and prospective employers that you\u2019re on the side of the empire. He was a soft target you could kick to signal that you\u2019ll say whatever the Pentagon wants so you can climb the media ladder.<\/p>\n

The smear campaign pervaded every political faction in every part of the US-centralized power alliance. Where they couldn\u2019t get away with openly smearing him they circulated rightist psyops about Trump and Assange secretly working together and the extradition actually helping Assange, which was\u00a0effectively the same as smearing him<\/a>.\u00a0The overwhelming majority of mainstream opinions about Assange are the result not of his work or the life he\u2019s lived, but of a concerted propaganda campaign the majority of which took place between late 2016 and Assange\u2019s arrest in April 2019. People just aren\u2019t aware they\u2019ve been propagandized.<\/p>\n

The smear campaign went silent so quickly because it is now impossible to paint yourself as a brave up-punching journalist while smearing someone who is being openly prosecuted for journalism. So they\u2019ve slinked off into the shadows, hoping we\u2019ll forget what they did. Let\u2019s not.<\/p>\n
