Assange is beyond right. We are really free in speech, because, really, speech has no effect on anything. And even free speech, is not a freedom you can practice if you dont have enough money. You will be only able to speak freely with your friend circle, family, or people in your locale - your free speech wont affect anything globally or nationally. And to have enough money for your speech to be effective, you need to comply with the existing establishment. else you cant have money. Attempts at censoring wikileaks show this very well.
however this is not some issue related to central banks. it wont go away when central banks arent there. it is something related to the system - even if central banks are not there, the mass media will still be owned by big corporations. if they dont let you, you cant practice your free speech to change anything. only choice is to become a big corporation yourself, but, for doing that you need to obey the establishment.
so, its inherent to the system. the system of orange ray ownership, organized by yellow ray organization traits -> our current capitalist system. entities own, and grow, and grow (just like how a 2d entity constantly eats and grows), and eventually a power structure forms, with the biggest dogs ruling the rest.
