Clara Holzer backs up JC Wilcox’s latest claim that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is being “persecuted for telling the truth”. He isn’t being persecuted, he’s failing to abide by the law, hiding himself in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London after skipping bail. Clara Holzer regurgitates the conspiracy theorists’ claims that the mainstream media tells lies and only serves its corporate backers. I do begin to wonder whether Wilcox, Holzer, Johnsen and a few others are actually the same person. They all certainly sing from the same conspiracy theory song sheet, and probably spend far too much time trawling through the darker regions of the Web instead of getting out more and enjoying life.
