Gedanken

Prisoner’s of War (POW’s) in Germany during world war 2 liked to sing “die gedanken sind frei” which translates “your thoughts are free”. It seems we have lost that sentiment today suggesting Julian Assange’s aren’t. This link suggests we are putting truth on trial through Assange. I think it’s worse, we are putting freedom of thought on trial. We are all POW’s today, so much control.

It seems that belief can lead to life in prison, Julian Assange exposed whistle blower. The best argument against belief is fact, or contrary belief. For the Assange case, we might believe him or the USA, but in truth it’s about evidence? Human belief is binary, either true or false. Assange committed no crime exposing belief, the individual must decide for themselves what to believe. Where is the crime? I guess it depends whether you believe he compromised USA security exposing whistle blowers. It’s hard to argue truth with video evidence.

I just wanted to consider belief as it’s in the title of this website. WikiLeaks and Assange expressed free thought and were threatened by the political powers. The internet and represents a danger to the establishment because it’s a place of free thought.
