"Unrealizable Justice" Is NO JUSTICE AT ALL

Listening to Assange deliver his first public statements since his release from prison was deeply saddening. I know that many have cheered his release. What he is telling you in his statement, though, is that the system by which he was released was the very same corrupted system which has unjustly robbed him of so many precious years of his life. As he says in the video below, "I am not free today because the system worked." It didn't. It still doesn't. It wasn't a victory, and the only way for Assange to ever obtain true justice is for us to understand that it wasn't a boot on the throat of his captors which set him free. Assange wasn't "set free" because pressure was applied to those who had wrongly imprisoned him. He is out of prison now because NOT ENOUGH pressure was applied to those who had wrongly imprisoned him. 

There are many Americans--and Jeremy Brown is one of them--who are also victims of a system of "unrealizable justice" here in our own country. Justice IS "unrealizable" for those who are behind bars. I've often heard Jeremy Brown emphasize that, as the person who is the prisoner, there are some very real limitations as to what he himself can do to secure his own freedom. It is US whom he implores to "do something." So while justice may be "unrealizable" to those who are held captive, it isn't "unrealizable" to those of us who have not (yet) been targeted and locked up by such a corrupt system. For those of us who have not YET been targeted, justice can and should be fought for. It will only be "realized" through our action. If you don't do it for the sake of those who have already been captured by such a system, then you should do it for yourself, for there is a target on the back of each and every one of us who believes in freedom. 

Don't let the sacrifices of truthtellers be in vain. Don't do nothing.
