The silence of the US media on Julian Assange is shameful.

There’s a common delusion in our society that depraved government agencies who are known to have done evil things in the past have simply stopped doing evil things for some reason. This belief is backed by zero evidence, and is contradicted by mountains of evidence to the contrary. It’s believed because it is comfortable, and for literally no other reason.

Our government agencies are only depraved because the wrong party is in office! Vote for the other one to drain the swamp!!! Which one, you ask? The good one!!1!1!!

It is the inevitable product of electoral democracy. You see, the power structure is reversed. The people directly vote in the government. But the people know what the media tell them, so the media vote in the government. But the media tell them what owners of the media allow the media to tell, so the owners of the media actually vote in the government. So the State is completely subjugated to the Corporate Interest, regardless what the function of state was in the beginning, to help people or the powerful, over 100 years it becomes to help the powerful. That is why electoral democracy has to go!
