Today's day marks 2 years since he was granted political asylum to Julian Assange. Assange has since remained in Ecuador's Embassy in the United Kingdom surrounded by police forces who, discreetly or completely indiscriminately, follow the exits of the embassy.
Who is Julian Assange? Early in his life he was one hacker-ακτιβιστής πριν γίνει γνωστός για το Wikileaks του, την ιστοσελίδα who published classified information.
These are the ones we all know, these are the ones that have come to light. Assange is wanted in Sweden following allegations of sexual assault. Having exhausted his legal options in the United Kingdom to fight extradition, he sought refuge at Ecuador's embassy in London in June 2012, and was subsequently granted political asylum - which is not recognized by the United Kingdom.
Julian Assange and Wikileaks are a phenomenon that has caused insomnia in too many people. For others, he is a hero and the man who represents the modern way of thinking of a whole generation.
Opinions differ because they come from different directions. Of course, we would not expect the US government to call Julian a hero, nor would the ordinary people who seek the truth under any government propaganda misinformation call him a traitor.
The leaks from Wikileaks shocked the public, which began to realize that everything they feared was true, and even documented in official documents and videos. The "purpose sanctifies the means" of the US government, began to be not enough as an excuse. Especially when the motives are imperialist and in the background economic.
Julian Assange has been living free under siege in an embassy for the past two years. The results of his activities seem to give him meaning, in his "golden cage". The reactions of world however, they are lazy. Some are engaged and others are indifferent. After two years, the reactions have become lukewarm and lack the fervor they had at the beginning, with Anonymous carrying out attacks on government and military infrastructure.
The revolution "deflated" and the actions of governments seem to be forgotten.
Media proselytism seems to be working perfectly. It is also known that the biggest overthrow of the propaganda role of the media is the emergence of the Internet. The ultimate transformation of the Internet into a manipulator from small and large Media is now on your screen. Finally, who is the winner and who is the loser? We can be considered as earned as much as we would Assange;

Society does not seem to be giving the go-ahead to mobilize the emergence of a new Julian Assange or a new Snowden. Unless I was expecting more…
