Who:
I wrote the article myself and it reflects four months of my own research. My wonderful friend @elizbethleavos, Editor in Chief of Disobedient Media (also my co-host from Decipher You) spent dozens of hours editing and proofing the copy with me. I owe her a massive thank you for her tireless work. You can thank her too by going to her Steemit blog and upvoting and resteeming her work!
I also owe a big thank you to @SomersetBean for the incredible custom graphic header image for "Being Julian Assange", pictured above. You can learn a little bit more about the image and article here.
And a huge thank you to Kim Dotcom, who gave hours of his time into helping me prepare the release.
When:
Elizabeth and I will appear in a live video event to review my core findings and answer questions from readers. The live event will happen at the following dates/times:
Due to the intensity of the hours I was spending writing "Being Julian Assange", Elizabeth and I temporarily suspended Decipher You. After the above event, Decipher You will resume as before, analysing Snowden documents live online, twice a week.
Where:
It was important to me to make the full text of the article available in one go. However it is also important to me that the text be preserved on the blockchain and I want to support Steemit. So I will shortly begin posting the article in segments onto my Steemit blog. Keep an eye out!
Why:
"Being Julian Assange" directly tackles and dismantles the narratives of some of the biggest names in activism and journalism. It exposes lie after lie after lie about Julian Assange and WikiLeaks in a way that has not been done before. It examines the ties between major organisations and intelligence agencies. It delves into details about Julian Assange's situation that are seldom given much thought. It theorises revolutionary new fixes for this broken system; ways we can make things better in the short term. And it asks you, the reader, to step up and act to make them happen.
Really looking forward to your feedback and if you love it - share it!
Love,
Suzie

A very well thought out article Suzie the time spent certainly reflects on it.. what an insightful view into WL and the people connected to the organization. A note about Michael Hastings mentioned in your full article..
Michael Hastings' last few articles depict what he was looking into Psyop Propaganda used against U.S. elected officials by deep state MIC to invade Afghanistan -

I know this because someone sent me a tip on this a few years ago.
Here is my own article on Steemit regarding MISOC, Wikileaks and Michael Hastings.. cheers AK!
https://steemit.com/wikileaks/@an0nkn0wledge/wikileaks-hints-at-what-media-ops-vault7-may-contain-misoc-psychological-operations
Side note: I think we are all awaiting the Media Ops file Wikileaks has teased. :p
Is there any information about why Mr. Assange is annoyed by 9/11 conspiracy theorists?
Exactly. A gaping hole in the credibility of Assange, and those who support him without question.
IMHO if he was what he is reported to be, he'd be dead and not giving interviews on Main Stream Media. A modern day Emmanuel Goldstein. Where it really get's brilliant is the sex change thing with Manning. Fantastic way to normalize transgenderism. But I rather shut up now. Don't want to get attacked by a fan boy :)
Take the time to read the article before commenting. It's a 23,000 word article. Take an evening and take notes. Check the links, read the corresponding information. Learn about what is going on. It takes time. Taking someone else's word for it is why the corporate media gets away with lies.
Hi Suzie. This is awesome. Strangely I woke up this morning thinking of old Western movies where the hero is holed up, down to his last round of ammunition and the hordes of Indians/Mexicans/ Confederates/ Outlaws are closing in for the kill. When all seems lost the cavalry arrives and the day is saved. It strikes me that Julian is the hero, his assailants are obvious and the Cavalry has to be us. Your article should be the first step towards saving him. I hope so
Thanks a lot for posting the reader's guide here. At the very least, it'll be difficult to censor. ;)
@thejimmydoreshow is finally on Steemit! Can you guys help him to verify his account? I don't think he deserves to start from the very bottom...
