The fable has it that the boundaries of this sector are respected by actors from government and the “private sector,” leaving a safe space for NGOs and nonprofits to advocate for things like human rights, free speech, and accountable government. <br/><br/>This sounds like a great idea. But if it was ever true, it has not been for decades.<br/><br/>Since at least the 1970s, authentic actors like unions and churches have folded under a sustained assault by free-market statism, transforming &#34;civil society&#34; into a buyer&#39;s market for political factions and corporate interests looking to exert influence at arm&#39;s length. The last forty years have seen a huge proliferation of think tanks and political NGOs whose purpose, beneath all the verbiage, is to execute political agendas by proxy.<br/><br/>It is not just obvious neocon front groups like Foreign Policy Initiative. It also includes fatuous Western NGOs like Freedom House, where naïve but well-meaning career nonprofit workers are twisted in knots by political funding streams, denouncing non-Western human rights violations while keeping local abuses firmly in their blind spots.<br/><br/>The civil society conference circuit—which flies developing-world activists across the globe hundreds of times a year to bless the unholy union between &#34;government and private stakeholders&#34; at geopoliticized events like the &#34;Stockholm Internet Forum&#34;—simply could not exist if it were not blasted with millions of dollars in political funding annually…’<br/><br/>Text from Sep 2014, before he was imprisoned in Belmarsh.

The objective is not simply to suppress recent history. Julian&#39;s ongoing imprisonment has emboldened the censors.<br/><br/>They have turned their sights to the present, seeking the total control over the public domain itself.
