https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1112878/julian-assange-book-gore-vidal-ecuador-embassy-julian-assange-arrested What is the Gore Vidal book Julian Assange was carrying?

Mr Assange held on to a Gore Vidal book on the history of the national security state as he got arrested.

 

In the book, named Gore Vidal: History of the National Security State & Vidal on America, TRNN Senior Editor Paul Jay and novelist Gore Vidal discuss the historical events that led to the establishment of the massive military-industrial-security complex and the political culture that gave us the “Imperial Presidency.”Whenever one of the founding fathers and one of the people who was inventing the Constitution, they start to get apoplectic at the mention of Athens, the mention of Pericles, the mention of democracy.

 

“They go on and on about mobs, and we don’t want this, and we don’t want that.

 

“We’re an oligarchy of the well-to-do.

 

“We were at the very beginning, when the Constitution was made, and we’re even more so now.”

 

Another quote from Gore Vidal reads: “The people have no voice because they have no information.”
