Julian Assange is our hero and we salute him for his courage to lift the mask of the ugly faces of the US and the petty dictators, murderers, robber barons, crooks, cheats and fraudsters that it support in the name of democracy, human rights, ethics and morals. I say its ramblings are nothing but lies.

Mr. Assange, We Salute Your Courage
