Greg Barns is Julian Assange's lawyer and barrister noted for his pieces in the Mercury. At the heart of a deceitful government is the oppression of truth-tellers. Journalists and writers whose job is to keep the public up-to-date with the truth. Oppression of the truth-tellers is in fact anti-democratic. A good society has intellectual individuals who share stories and give people different view on things, rather than what they are told by the propaganda machines. It is bizarre that the truth and writing especially has been policed in such a way like a criminal act when people have been writing since the dawn of man, communicating and drawing with different mediums.
