Since it`s foundation, in 2006, Wikileaks was conceived as a solution for citizens to expose the injustices, political persecutions and the illegal activities of governments. During the recent years, Wikileaks and his visible head Julian Assange, have exposed to the world, the lies, abuses, and Human Rights violations behind the curtains of legality of the regimes of Kenia, Iceland, United States, China, Thailand, India among dozens of countries around the globe. With the disclosure of criminal activites, labeled as classified information, Wikileaks and Julian Assange have contributed to create a more transparent world where citizens are capable of demanding direct accountability about the activities of their governments, and when governments feel the pressure of their citizens, in the aim for creating a future with out criminal, political or corporate institutional secrets.

Julian and his Wikileaks folk are the Pioneers, the Trailblazers. M. Vickers. Uk.

Julian is trying to tell very important truths.
These help all the world’s folk to correct un-truths,
And to be better informed about matters that
Intimately affect them.

Julian is the very sharp spear-head of the
Vanguard that is undertaking the first steps
Helping us to move away from our
Early stage of savage infancy.

Julian gives us serious hope that
Humankind is on the road to a
Gradually maturing childhood—
The frontal lobe of the brain of humankind
Is showing promising signs of development.

It is cybernetics, the Internet and instantaneous
World-wide, 24/7 communication that has
Opened the instrumental door.

Julian is showing us how we can

Learn and grow from facts
We have not been told, or
From which the fiction
Has been removed.

Julian is the Henry the Navigator,

The Christopher Columbus,
Perhaps the Galileo,
The Copernicus
Of this present day.

Julian and his Wikileaks folk are the
Pioneers, the Trailblazers, who are
Directing beams of bright light
Down the avenue of the
Future on which we are
At the moment, traveling
—And at swift pace.
