?Julian Assange? said Noam Chomsky ?should be congratulated for carrying out the responsibilities of a citizen in democratic societies, where the population should be aware of what their selected representatives are doing and planning.? Assange is perhaps to pay a heavy price for disclosure, as simultaneously, Bradley Manning, a soldier of conscience, is to pay the ultimate one.
The effectiveness of these two men?s actions should be taken to heart, and into our collective activism ?For those that have the privilege to know have the privilege to act (Einstein). Also we must understand that we are not just standing in quiet or rowdy resolution and solidarity with an Assange or Manning just because our conscience dictates but because we are connected at the very substance of our being and in an evolutionary reality.
We have a constituent understanding of these two, and other men and women of conscience, because we are not in any way separate in time and space from them or their suffering. We are individuated, distinct, but never apart. The 1% would rule, the 99% would move.
It is why the ?occupy movement? is coherent, growing, and in tune with a universal melody soon to become symphonic, expressed through a rising chorus of intelligent and persistent voices. We gather nimbus around our feet and grow wings on our back, and would like the Sirin, close to Eden, symbols of ?world harmony? and ready to fly, swoop, our songs ?going into the soul of man?. For, ?Truth and Love is the only thing that counts. Where this is present, everything rights itself in the end. This is a law to which there is no exception.? (Mahatma Gandhi, Young India 1927).
