The Guardian Publishes More Blatant MI6 Lies About Julian Assange

December 3, 2018 Craig Murray, Informationclearinghouse.info Educate! Julian Assange, Media, Propaganda, Repression, Whistleblowers, Wikileaks

November 27, 2018 "Information Clearing House" - The right wing Ecuadorean government of President Moreno continues to churn out its production line of fake documents regarding Julian Assange, and channel them straight to MI6 mouthpiece Luke Harding of the Guardian. Amazingly, more Ecuadorean Government documents have just been discovered for the Guardian, this time spy agency reports detailing visits of Paul Manafort and unspecified “Russians” to the Embassy. By a wonderful coincidence of timing, this is the day after Mueller announced that Manafort’s plea deal was over. The problem with this latest fabrication is that Moreno had already released the visitor logs to the Mueller inquiry. Neither Manafort nor these “Russians” are in the visitor logs.

U.K. And Ecuador Conspire To Deliver Julian Assange To U.S. Authorities

November 30, 2018 Gareth Porter, Truthdig.com Educate! Ecuador, Julian Assange, United Kingdom (UK), Whistleblowers

The accidental revelation in mid-November that U.S. federal prosecutors had secretly filed charges against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange underlines the determination of the Trump administration to end Assange’s asylum in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he has been staying since 2012. Behind the revelation of those secret charges for supposedly threatening U.S. national security is a murky story of a political ploy by the Ecuadorian and British governments to create a phony rationale for ousting Assange from the embassy. The two regimes agreed to base their plan on the claim that Assange was conspiring to flee to Russia.

Assange’s Lawyers Blocked From Entering Ecuadorian Embassy

Julian Assange’s lawyers have been refused entry to the Ecuadorian embassy, WikiLeaks said in a tweet. The news comes amid fears he may soon be kicked out of the embassy. WikiLeaks said the Ecuadorian government had refused to give lawyers Aitor Martinez and Jen Robinson access to Assange this weekend. The longtime WikiLeaks editor faces a US court hearing Tuesday and needs to meet with his legal team to prepare, the whistleblowing organization said.

Why Prosecuting Assange Is Dangerous

November 23, 2018 Staff, Angelof-truth.com Educate! Julian Assange, Repression, Whistleblowers, Wikileaks

So you are wondering how this affects you or how this is dangerous. Let me explain. In early NAZI Germany, Hitler and his brown coats took control of state media which then was radio and newspapers. By controlling what the media told the public, they were able to take control of all assets of everyday life step by step. Every dictatorship or overthrow of government resulted in the silencing of those who spoke the truth. By prosecuting Assange, the US government sets a dangerous precedent against press freedom protected by the First Amendment and also violates every individual’s freedom of speech. Silencing those who publish government corruption is the first step in taking away all our rights.

The Empire Keeps Proving Assange Right About Everything

November 21, 2018 Caitlin Johnstone, Caitlinjohnstone.com Educate! Julian Assange, Whistleblowers, Wikileaks

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been charged under seal by the Trump administration. This has been revealed by a purportedly accidental copy-paste error in an unrelated court document which used Assange’s name, interestingly not long after it was reported to the Wall Street Journal that federal prosecutors “have considered publicly indicting Mr. Assange to try to trigger his removal from the embassy because a detailed explanation of the evidence could give Ecuadorean authorities reason to turn Assange over.” Insider sources have reportedly confirmed to the Washington Post that Assange has been charged. Because those charges are sealed, it’s impossible to know what they are or how they’re being justified.

DOJ Inadvertently Confirms Sealed Indictment Awaits Julian Assange If Extradited To The US

November 19, 2018 By Whitney Webb, Mintpressnews.com Educate! DOJ, Julian Assange, Repression, Whistleblowers, Wikileaks

WASHINGTON — A U.S. prosecutor has inadvertently revealed that Julian Assange, the founder and former editor-in-chief of WikiLeaks, has been secretly charged by the U.S. government, confirming long-held suspicions that the U.S. has had criminal charges waiting for Assange should he be extradited to the United States. The revelation comes just hours after a report in the Wall Street Journal revealed that the U.S. Department of Justice is preparing to indict Assange in such a way that it would trigger his extradition to the United States to stand trial, following sensitive negotiations with foreign governments, most likely the governments of the United Kingdom and Ecuador.

Ecuador Expected To Extradite Assange To US, Lawyer Says

November 19, 2018 Staff, Telesurenglish.net Educate! Ecuador, Julian Assange, Whistleblowers, Wikileaks

Ecuador may be preparing to extradite WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange to the United States, Carlos Poveda, his lawyer warned Thursday. “I believe that [Washington, London and Quito] have reached some agreement and that is exactly why the special protocol [on home rules] was introduced... to accelerate the process of ending his asylum and hand him over to the United Kingdom authorities," Poveda said Thursday. Poveda’s comments come just as reports from media roll in that the U.S. Justice Department is preparing to prosecute Assange and have clandestinely filed criminal charges against the founder of the anti-secrecy organization, WikiLeaks According to Wikileaks...

Assange To US In Chains

It appears increasingly likely Wikileaks founder and publisher Julian Assange will wind up in the clutches of the U.S. government...It appears increasingly likely Wikileaks founder and publisher Julian Assange will wind up in the clutches of the U.S. government. It’s hardly surprising, given that in ten years’ time, Wikileaks published more classified information than all other media combined. It exposed human rights abuses, government spying, torture, and war crimes on an unprecedented scale. WikiLeaks put government, corporations and even the Pentagon, the FBI, the CIA and other intel agencies on notice that they could no longer count on operating in secret. It created a trove of primary source material that serious journalists and researchers will mine for years to come.

Crucifying Julian Assange

November 13, 2018 Chris Hedges, Truthdig.com Educate! Julian Assange, Repression, United Kingdom (UK), Whistleblowers

Julian Assange’s sanctuary in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London has been transformed into a little shop of horrors. He has been largely cut off from communicating with the outside world for the last seven months. His Ecuadorian citizenship, granted to him as an asylum seeker, is in the process of being revoked. His health is failing. He is being denied medical care. His efforts for legal redress have been crippled by the gag rules, including Ecuadorian orders that he cannot make public his conditions inside the embassy in fighting revocation of his Ecuadorian citizenship. Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has refused to intercede on behalf of Assange, an Australian citizen, even though the new government in Ecuador...

CIA Whistleblower: Brennan And Clapper Should Not Escape Prosecution

November 13, 2018 By John Kiriakou, Mintpressnews.com Resist! CIA, Corruption, Whistleblowers

Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley, the longtime chairman of the Judiciary Committee, made a dramatic announcement Nov. 1 that should lead to jail time for both former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. As reported, but widely overlooked amid the media focus on the midterm elections, Brennan ordered CIA hackers to intercept the emails of all potential or possible intelligence community whistleblowers who may have been trying to contact the congressional oversight committees, specifically to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence and the Senate Judiciary Committee. Hacking the Senate’s computer system constitutes illegal use of a government computer, illegal espionage, and wire fraud.

Ecuador’s Government Cuts Off All Access To Julian Assange

November 3, 2018 Mike Head, Wsws.org Educate! Asylum, Ecuador, Julian Assange, Whistleblowers, Wikileaks

According to the Courage Foundation, which has campaigned against the persecution of Julian Assange, the Ecuadorian Embassy in London has forbidden access to all visitors to the WikiLeaks publisher, including his lawyers, until Monday, amid an urgent lawsuit. Most immediately, the ban obstructs a legal appeal by Assange against an Ecuadorian judge’s decision last week to uphold a draconian “protocol” that President Lenín Moreno’s government has sought to impose on him, in fundamental violation of the right to political asylum. The protocol essentially bars Assange from making any political comments whatsoever, because they might be deemed detrimental to the interests of Ecuador’s government or any other government.

WikiLeaks Releases A Detailed List Of All Amazon Web Services Data Centers Ahead Of DoD Decision

October 25, 2018 By Aaron Kesel, Activistpost.com Educate! Amazon, Whistleblowers, Wikileaks

WikiLeaks has published an alleged “highly confidential” document outlining the addresses and operational details of Amazon Web Services (AWS) data centers called Amazon Atlas. The international whistleblowing organization claims to have published the document as an attempt to shed light on the “largely hidden” locations of cloud-based servers. “While one of the benefits of the cloud is the potential to increase reliability through geographic distribution of computing resources, cloud infrastructure is remarkably centralized in terms of legal control,” WikiLeaks wrote in a statement. “Until now, this cloud infrastructure controlled by Amazon was largely hidden, with only the general geographic regions of the data centers publicized.”

How The FBI Silences Whistleblowers

October 20, 2018 John Kiriakou, Consortiumnews.com Educate! FBI, Whistleblowers

The problem is that we are the exception to the rule. Most whistleblowers either suffer in anonymity or are personally, professionally, socially and financially ruined for speaking truth to power. Darin Jones is one of those people. He’s one of the people silenced in Barack Obama’s war on whistleblowers. And he continues to suffer under Donald Trump. Jones was an FBI supervisory contract specialist who in 2012 reported evidence of serious procurement improprieties to his superior. Jones maintained that Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) had been awarded a $40 million contract improperly because a former FBI official with responsibility for granting the contract then was hired as a consultant at CSC.

Draconian Ecuadorean Rules On Assange’s Prison-Like Embassy Stay: Document

October 17, 2018 Staff, Telesurtv.net Resist! Ecuador, Julian Assange, Repression, Whistleblowers, Wikileaks

The politics around the Ecuadorean government’s housing Julian Assange in its London embassy are changing, making the political refugee responsible for getting his own food thereby increasing his risk of arrest by U.K. authorities. In a statement released by the London embassy, Ecuador’s officials say that Assange's guests will have to make a request to visit the refugee at least three working days in advance. All regular and occasional visitors will need to present a slew of information, including their personal identification numbers, their social media affiliations, motives for visiting and they’ll have to declare all their electronics they may carry into the embassy before being able to enter.

Terry Albury Is A Conscientious Whistleblower

October 13, 2018 By Sue Udry, Rightsanddissent.org Resist! FBI, Racism, Whistleblowers

Terry Albury was the only Black agent at the FBI field office in Minneapolis. He saw inherent racism in the FBI’s targeting of local communities of color and sought to blow the whistle on that racism and the agency’s unethical use of paid informants. For that, he was fired, arrested, and charged under the Espionage Act. He pled guilty earlier this year and now faces 4 or more years in prison. He’ll be sentenced next week. Because his action was in the public interest, because it caused no harm to national security, and because it’s time to end the unconscionable use of the Espionage Act to persecute whistleblowers initiated under President Obama, we believe Albury’s sentence should be a non-custodial sentence of community service.
