Julian Assange has been released from prison -
The Wikileaks revelation platform is currently facing challenges
 Firstly,
it should be noted that Wikileaks founder Julian Assange was
released on the basis of a deal with the US authorities after
spending around 14 years in prison. The terms of the US
administration provided for a face-saving travel route via Saipan, a
US foreign territory. Assange was tried there in a lightning trial.
He pleaded guilty to one of several dozen charges. The five-year
period in extradition custody in the British high-security Belmarsh
prison was taken into account and Assange was released as agreed.
His further journey took him to Australia.
The less good news is that Julian Assange
was found guilty. He is therefore now considered to have been
finally convicted and charged with incitement and conspiracy to
commit espionage and treason. Our assessment is in line with that of
WELT journalist Deniz Yücel, who spent a long time in Turkish
custody in a similar situation years ago and who declared:
"A good day for Assange, not a good day for press freedom".
The US judiciary will celebrate the victory
of their legal opinion, as whistleblower websites violate US laws if
US citizens are involved, no matter where they work in the world. As
a result, the US has set the desired precedent for other analogue
platforms to operate, allowing them to increase pressure on the
websites and their own whistleblowers.The attitude of the various US
governments, from "Nobel Peace Prize winner" Obama to Trump, was
highly congruent in terms of content.This is despite the use of
arguments and facts from Wikileaks during the election campaign and
the promises made before the election that turned out to be lies
after taking office.
It is to be hoped that the Assange
family will find the strength to rebuild their lives after 14 years
of imprisonment and near imprisonment.
The further actions of Wikileaks after the
judgement should be of great interest - not only for those who are
interested in the truth behind the mostly one-sided and
interest-driven press reports of the mainstream.
What are our visitors interested in?
We were concerned with the question of what is of
interest to our visitors - we have analyzed the access logs for the
month of October 2024 more deeply than we normally do. Here you can see
the results, some of which were surprising to us:
If we summarise the results of the 3 language variants
and the display for mobile devices, the following country data
and treaties are predominantly accessed:
- Russia, Israel, France, Lebanon, the USA and the Palestinian Territories as the most
accessed pages,
- The international treaties are clearly dominated by data on
BRICS .
clearly dominate with extremely high values. Interestingly, and inexplicably, the
International Organisation of La Francophonie was also very
strongly accessed in all groups.
 The graphic on the left shows the frequency of calling up the countries in a grouped form. The frequency seems to vary between developing and traditional holiday countries.
The access between the language versions, with the language versions English, Spanish and German, and the version optimised for mobile devices is also roughly equal.
The language versions are optimised for PC - dominating with 71%. This could either be due to our own rather poor design of the version for mobile devices, or that the site is visited more by professionally interested people.
