On 8 October, 2011, Julian Assange said this at an anti-war rally in Trafalgar Square:
“The reality is Margaret Thatcher had it right. There is no society anymore. What there is, is a transnational security elite that is busy carving up the world using your tax money. To combat that elite we must not petition. We must take it over...
In democracies, or the pseudo-democracies that we are evolving into, wars are a result of lies...
When we understand that wars come about as a result of lies peddled to the British public and the American public and the publics all over Europe and other countries, then who are the war criminals? It is not just leaders. It is not just soldiers. It is journalists. Journalists are war criminals...
The reality that is constructed around us is constructed by liars, is constructed by people who are close to those that they are meant to be policing... If wars can be started by lies, peace can be started by truth... Go and get the truth… get into the ballpark and get the ball and give it to us ('WikiLeaks') and we’ll spread it all over the world... If wars can be started by lies, then peace can be started by truth.”
