Assange Episode 7: Occupy – “revolt in name of democracy”

“There is nothing that terrifies the US government so much as the threat of democracy breaking out in America,” David Graeber from Occupy New York said on the Julian Assange Show.

­The Occupy movement has united hundreds of thousands across the world to fight social and economic inequality. Julian Assange met with prominent Occupy activists who say democracy is at the core of their protest.

By “exercising directly the democratic process we are posing a threat,” said Marisa Holmes from Occupy New York.
