Julian Assange Live, brought to you by the Kremlin

By James Adams from the Globe and Mail

There’s a new talking head ”“ or should that be mouthpiece? ”“ on the TV talk-show circuit and he made his debut Tuesday on RT, an English-language network, available online, started seven years ago by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The program, to run in 12 parts, is titled The World Tomorrow and its host is none other than Julian Assange, the 40-year-old founder of WikiLeaks. His first half-hour show, conducted from the estate in southern England where Assange is currently under house arrest, featured a thumping theme song by M.I.A. to introduce the program’s only guest, Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, in what was billed as Nasrallah’s ”œfirst interview in the West since 2006.” More at the link

    ….. near the program’s end, Assange asked his guest to recount “an amusing joke” about “how simplicity can defeat complexity.” Nasrallah went on to tell how his fighters in Lebanon have thwarted Israeli decryption analysts by using “village slang” to communicate in Arabic on their “simple walkie-talkies.” No Israeli security agent is going to be able to understand lingo about “the cooking pot … the donkey … or what the father of the chicken is and why they’re calling him the father of the chicken,” Nasrallah observed with a smile, then added: “It’s not going to do you any good at WikiLeaks by the way.”
