VICTIM OF MAJOR POLITICAL CHICANERY: by Joe Van Langenberg Despite been demonised, dehumanised, belittled and made a victim of major political chicanery, merely for upholding the sacrosanct tenets of cherished democracy, Founder of Wikileaks and valued member of the prestigious Fourth Estate Julian Assange, has soldiered on with the minimum of fuss or froth. Gaining sanctuary in the Ecuadorean Embassy back in June of 2012, Julian Assange clung to the hope that the United States will not pursue its demand to have him extradited to the U.S. to face charges of compromising highly classified information, by allegedly leaking documents relating to the goings-on in Afghanistan and Iraq; in addition to exposing highly charged diplomatic cables; some of which were reportedly encrypted..

Even then they had not lived in a luxury life which all senior citizens of developed countries are privileged to live in. It is learnt that ...
