Julian Assange Green Party Convention FULL Speech 8/6/16

Julian Assange addressed the Green Party this morning in a powerful live-feed video. WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said Saturday that third-party movements keep the government in check and urged supporters to look beyond 2016. “With the Green Party, and Gary Johnson and the Bernie Sanders campaign, it is very, very important but it must be seen past this moment, past the political moment,” Assange said while speaking at the Green Party convention via live feed, according to Politico.
“That’s a moment to build a movement and build pressure and having built it, then one can discipline and hold to account and check the abuses of government during the next four years.” Assange didn’t endorse the Green Party’s likely presidential nominee Jill Stein at the convention. Asked if he preferred Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, he replied, “You are asking if I prefer cholera or gonorrhea.” Assange added that if Clinton or Trump won, “They are going to continue to generate oversight and resistance, which will not only create a fertile field for Gary Johnson and Jill Stein to grow their support but will create a fairly fertile field to understand and hold government accountable.”
Assange went on to say it’s possible Stein or another third-party candidate will be president. “Anything is possible,” he said.
Technical difficulties at first made it look like the interview might not happen at all. Assange even asked someone off camera: “Did they not test this?” Eventually they were able to overcome the difficulties and have a lengthy Q&A. These are highlights from his speech.
