Today’s attacks on RT and Wikileaks are attacks on free speech

Today’s attacks on Wikileaks and RT bear every indication of orchestration. They violate the fundamental principle of free speech upon which Western civilisation claims to be based.…

When Hillary Clinton first said that Wikileaks and Russia were intertwined, the statement was a lie and a laughable one at that. Sadly the events of the last few hours have made her statement true but for very odd, sinister and mysterious reasons.

This morning after three highly cryptic Tweets, Wikileaks revealed that Julian Assange’s highly sensitive internet connection had been cut off by a ‘state party’. Hours later, all UK bank accounts associated with RT were suddenly shut down, assets were frozen. No explanation was offered and no enquiry was answered.

The timing is beyond suspicious. The implications are frightening. Prior to today the only thing linking RT with Wikileaks is that both have begged people to ‘question more’.  It is RT’s motto and it is a de facto reality at Wikileaks. Both have come under attack.

Let me make clear, the fact is that RT is not a ‘tool of the Russian government’; it is merely a semi-public broadcaster delivering world news from a Russian perspective. There is CCTV in China, France 24, the BBC and many others which do the same.

But it seems RT are being lumped in with a wider misinformation campaign against Russia. This is truly despicable.

Russia and Syria’s brave, just and patriotic war against Islamic terrorism has led to the unthinkable, it has led to a war on free speech.

I write the following on behalf of no other person nor organisation. I write it on my own behalf and I thank The Duran for giving me a platform to say this.

After today’s events, people throughout the world must consider their own views on justice, morality and where their conscience lies. (more at The Duran)
