Assange Claims He Lost Tooth When Housed With Child Killers In Prison
The Raw Story reports WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange says he spent his prison time housed with "child killers" and lost a tooth while in custody.
Assange told the Spanish newspaper El Pais: "There were crazy pedophiles who shouted all night about their crimes. You heard these cries all night".
Assange also said he lost a tooth when he bit into a piece of metal on his food plate.
He said he didn't know "if it was put there or if it was a simple accident".
"It will soon be for sale on eBay", Assange joked.
Assange is expected to tell a Times of London interviewer that WikiLeaks has enough documentation on a major US bank to force the institution's leadership to resign.
The problem with that is that WikiLeaks tends to be one-sided.
I don't want to defend any criminal US bank, but since America is an open and democratic society, it is also more vulnerable for these kinds of disclosures and truths.
In some countries you cannot have an important position in a bank, or in a large company, or in a religious organization for that sake, unless you belong to a criminal organization and have killed a number of people.
This is indeed very sad.
But WikiLeaks must try to find a balance and not only go after American or Western interests.
I am sure you can find similar evidences of most organizations around the world.
It is also my belief that the morals of American banks and companies not are inferior to those of similar companies and organizations in other places around the world.
The world still works in a certain way, unfortunately.
Whether we talk about banks in the US, in Sweden, in Russia, in Japan, or in Africa, or in other places, they are all of this world.
WikiLeaks touches a gigantic problem - corruption - which is present everywhere in our societies.
Recently there was a certain horse race.
A person far away sent his horse to the race, which would normally be the fastest horse in that particular race.
The first prize for the winning horse of this race was a quite normal amount of money and not very large.
But it cost the owner of the horse half-a-million euros to send the horse to the race.
What would happen then was quite obvious.
Everyone gambled on that horse, which only finished fourth in the race.
The horse's owner got one million euros from the betting company, since it made a huge profit on all the gambling on that horse.
Of course this was arranged in advance.
But this is what our world looks like, and how our societies work at large.
It is not a very nice picture, indeed.
WikiLeaks might be morally right, but only God can change our world.
Without all the corrupt banks, companies, and governments, and even religious organizations worldwide, our modern world would probably not survive.
Before man has changed and matured, it is meaningless to try to change the world for the better.
The result will only be the opposite.
But I commend Julian Assange for trying to make a difference and for standing up for the truth.
WikiLeaks is certainly a welcome eye-opener for many people.
It can also be worthwhile to remember the words of the Apostle Peter: "Save yourselves from this untoward generation", see Acts 2:40.
"Regi autem saeculorum, incorruptibili, invisibili, soli Deo honor et gloria in saecula saeculorum. Amen", 1 Timothy 1:17.
