Perverse & disgusted, I was originally going to write a post with a title something like "The Reasons Why Assange Is Not Anything At All Like You & Me, So Don't Worry About What's Happening To Him." Well, actually, something a lot less sarcastic, you know, believable, but still along those lines.
Then I had planned to list all the current talking points as of the beginning of June 2019. Including but not limited to calling a rapist; an evil hacker; not a journalist; irresponsible; a rude guest; a health threat; a threat to a free democratic society; & an asshole.
I was going to diligently go through them, then, & painstakingly expose them for the obvious & pandering puerile propaganda they are. But of course somehow all the while not letting on. Fingers crossed just out of sight.
It was my best plan to change a mind or two.
This hasn't changed, but I am heavy hearted. Not up to the task, not sure of success. So in the spirit of a picture being worth a decent sized essay, I made you all something, that I hope you will share.
Because the fact is that there is extremely little to mitigate the relevance of the fate of Julian Assange to the fate of any & every man & woman on this planet – every man & woman, that is, with a mind of their own, & a conscience.
Nothing, in fact.
Should any of us happen upon the opportunity, or find him- or her- self in a position, to make certain hidden things public, what do you think we should we do? By hidden things, I mean hard proof of high crimes that would otherwise leave no trace. Evidence of the corruption of the elite. Secrets that expose the evil of those in power.
Would you want that person to aid & abet the evil, the corruption, the exploitation, that ultimately would come back to roost as suffering, as injustice, as a degradation of the quality of your life?
What should they do? What would you do? I think I know. Or rather, let me say, I hope I am right.
After that, there is no difference between you & the man that the United States intends to see convicted under the Espionage Act of 1917.
After that, it is only a matter of degree.
So, because we can affect that fate even now as it hangs in a precarious balance, I made you all something that I hope you will share, that I hope will encourage discussion and strengthen solidarity.
I made a photo mosaic of faces of people on the Internet, the censored, the demonized, the curious: podcasters & YouTube niche celebs & profiles from everywhere, from Twitter & Instagram & Myspace & Reddit & Pinterest & Snapchat & Tumblr & LiveJournal & even Facebook; faces of activists from BDS & BLM & OWS; faces of journalists of all kinds, anonymous & pseudonymous & eponymous, citizens all; whistleblowers & more whistleblowers & more whistleblowers; magazine publishers & rock stars & politicians & webmasters & authors & artists & poets & revolutionaries.
All of you who think for ourselves. Thousands & thousands of faces.
I made a mosaic. You should see it. I made it for you.
You just might be in it.
It is seven & three quarter feet tall, but fully zoomable on your device’s screen. Check it out. I call it “We Are All Assange.”
93in/27900px tall : 7.75 feet
The mosaic contained in the archive, below, is much smaller, only around 22in/6600px tall. It's in HTML format, allowing you to mouse over an image, get its filename, & then click to view the source image). It includes all the original source images. Click (or right-click-&-save-as) here (WARNING: .zip file is about half a gig).
Should you desire a copy of the SEVEN & THREE-QUARTER-FOOT (still can't believe it) mosaic, with a filesize of nearly two gigabytes, it is available from EasyZoom, my gracious host: just click o the upper left corner. (Any problems, let me know).
SHARE WIDELY.
