"Nearly every war that has started in the past 50 years has been a result of media lies." Julian Assange was very right.

"One of the hopeful things that I've discovered is that nearly every war that has started in the past 50 years has been a result of media lies." 

Julian Assange. So it will be again - and again - and again.

How right he was. I enjoyed Wikileaks but I should have supported Assange instead of suspecting he was connected with the pesky Russians. 

Now, of course, most people see America as the enemy. That wasn't clear back then.

Assange was hopeful because "If wars can be started by lies, peace can be started by truth". 

That is where X and TikTok and EU restrictions on internet free speech come in.
