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? At the beginning of his life he was a hacker-activist before he became known for his Wikileaks, the website that published confidential 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 the world, however, are lazy. Some are engaged and others are indifferent. After two years, the reactions have become lukewarm and do not have the warmth they had at the beginning, with them Anonymous to carry out attacks on government and military infrastructure.
The revolution "deflated" and the actions of governments seem to be forgotten.
Media proselytizing seems to be working perfectly. After all, it is known that the biggest twist in the propaganda role of the mass media is its appearance Internet. The absolute evolution of the Internet into an instrument of manipulation by the small and large Media is now at screen your. In the end, who is the winner and who the losts? We can be considered as won as much as he would like 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…
