WikiLeaks now has information on Julian Assange -
and the rumor is that the site's highly controversial founder is
planning on producing his own television talk show. The site claims that
Assange plans a show that will explore the world from the perspectives
of some of the most powerful and influential people that, perhaps, we've
never heard of. There is no word at this time as to who might be a
guest on Assange's show, nor where or how the show will be filmed.
Assange is currently fighting a legal battle to avoid extradition to
Sweden on charges of sexual assault and misconduct, so it's unclear
exactly how the show is going to be managed. But, Assange's post on
WikiLeaks is very clear about his vision for the show: "Through this
series I will explore the possibilities for our future in conversations
with those who are shaping it. Are we heading towards utopia, or
dystopia and how we can set our paths? This is an exciting opportunity
to discuss the vision of my guests in a new style of show that examines
their philosophies and struggles in a deeper and clearer way than has
been done before."
The press release about the show notes the ongoing upheaval in the
Middle East and the breakdown of the rule of law and the sovereign
economic crises engulfing the West. Assange believes he is
well-positioned to host a show that attempts to identify the complex
machinations that are occurring around the globe and to explore how
individuals can engage with one another to effect a more positive
outcome.
WikiLeaks' notes that the Assange show will air in ten weekly half-hour segments, beginning in the middle of March of this year.
