"Rights" to duties on Assange yet again
I've already pointed out that Assange brought this situation on himself by valuing pure abstractions like "rights" instead of putting his DUTY first. I've also pointed out that he's taking the wrong side, working for EU and Soros.
Now that his communication is blocked, he's still stuck with purity and perfectionism. His "rights" are being "violated", so he expects the "rights" adjudicators like UN and EU to solve the "violation".
If you start instead with the NEED to perform your particular DUTY, you will find ways to make it happen. Digital communication via Twitter is NOT the only way to get a message out. Before Twitter was founded in 2006, it's barely conceivable that primitive Neanderthal Negative Externalities might have found clumsy ways to express simple crude simian zero-IQ messages by grunting and throwing rocks.
Less snottily, Assange seems to be relying on tech-monster types who only know how to communicate digitally THROUGH NSA. If you're seriously INDEPENDENT, you don't want to communicate THROUGH NSA in the first fucking place.
There are all sorts of mechanical and analog ways to get a message out of an embassy compound in a big city, especially when you have a cult following of underground-minded people willing to help.
Think literal underground. Morse. Faucets. Carrier rats.
I've probably spoiled those particular channels by mentioning them, but a smart ANALOG-MINDED spy can think of others. There are many ways to send an active message by varying passive impedances.
