#Inside Wikileaks

[thoughtlessarse]

The UN’s climate science advisory group, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), is currently meeting in Bulgaria to decide on a timeline for its next “cycle” of reports over the rest of this decade. That decision should have been taken in January, but government divisions arose over aligning IPCC outputs with UN climate negotiations, at a meeting that the IPCC chair described as “one of the most intense” he had experienced. Political struggle over the final wording of IPCC reports is well known, but this division at the start of the process reflects the organisation’s achievements. The more successful it becomes in disseminating climate knowledge, the more deeply imbued in climate politics it becomes. I have studied the IPCC for 15 years and think these political factors are often overlooked. For instance, though the reports are written by scientists, governments play an integral role throughout the process. The IPCC is after all an intergovernmental body – it’s governments that decide to produce the reports and give the final approval, not scientists. Most notably, this involves the final line-by-line approval of a report’s key findings in the “summary for policymakers” (the only bit most people read). Media reporting and accounts by IPCC authors frequently reveal the extent of negotiation over how the latest knowledge of climate change is presented to the public. This has lead to whole sections being deleted and open conflict between scientists and government delegates. However, decisions made at the start of an assessment cycle are equally fraught with politics. These include electing the bureau and approving the report outline. The politics sometimes come to light, as it did when Wikileaks revealed US manoeuvring to secure the election of the US co-chair candidate for a previous round of reports which were published in 2013 and 2014.

The CIA and The ODNIgov are using The NSA remote access surveillance technology to hack into my computer, stealing my GarageBand files off my computer, corrupting the files by making the level mixing too loud and out of time and reuploading the songs to my SoundCloud without my permission with their self imposed, unfounded warrant to hack into my computer because they're trying to force me to have sex with them, but not because they actually believe there's a crime happening inside my computer — their alibi is they supposedly need to investigate my computer because I'm dealing drugs, but that's just a PR public relations cover story so they can have an excuse to ruin my songs because they're jealous of me for turning all of them into the police for being rapists. #UnitedNationsHumanRightsCouncil #UNPGA #HumanRightsWatch

The FBI and these same people hacked into my computer with the NSA surveillance technology and changed the password to my computer and now I can't log into my computer anymore and I know why they did it is because I turned them into the police for being rapists — now I can't log into my computer — you need to get me my computer back.

Global Rape Whistle

Whistleblower. The CIA hacked into my computer, using The NSA remote viewing technology, to steal my GarageBand files and ruined my songs and hacked into my SoundCloud and reuploaded the broken versions of my songs, against my will, without my permission, so they could stop me from being famous because I refuse to have sex with them.

You need to go jerk off.

The longer it takes me to get my computer back, the bigger the scandal is gonna be that The CIA and The FBI and The NSA and The Director Of National Intelligence are all serial rapists.

But if it's not true, then why won't they come on camera on live television to be interrogated with the lie detector machine? I know because I'm telepathic.

Never forget that Julian Assange went to Prison for the War Crimes committed by U.S. Presidents.

‼️Julian Assange is free.

After spending 12 years in a virtual prison at an embassy and a real prison in the UK, Assange is free!

"..the goal is to have an endless war, not a successful war." Julian Assange

In all these years, not a single Wikileaks document has been found to be fake!

100% record for truth and accuracy!

A message from Hillary Clinton's email addressed to a number of military officers requested different ways to stop Julian Assange.

Hillary Clinton suggested for an assassination.

"Can't we just drone this guy"

Julian Assange plea deal:

20,000 DNC emails have been deleted from Wikileaks!

Nothing to do with national security, but about hiding the crimes of Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party insiders.

Bribes, sexual deviancy, satanism, corruption, pay for play, rigging primaries and more.

JULIAN ASSANGE REACHES PLEA DEAL WITH UNITED STATES JUSTICE DEPT

Journalist Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, who has been detained in Belmarsh Prison in the UK for the last 5 years, has reached a plea deal with the United States Justice Department.

According to published court documents, the intrepid journalist, Julian Assange (52yo), an Australian citizen, will plead guilty to one count of Conspiracy to Obtain and Disclose National Defense Information. This despite not being an American citizen, nor committing any crimes inside United States territory.

Assange has, until now, denied he violated any laws while receiving classified United States national defense documents beginning in 2009 from Chelsea Manning, who herself was convicted for passing documents to Assange and other news outlets.

Assange has repeatedly insisted he has done nothing more or less than any other journalist would do, and worked to protect his sources as other news outlets would typically do.

Reporting in the US mainstream media states that Assange will be in court on Wednesday at 9am in the Northern Mariana Islands, appearing before US District Court Justice Ramona Manglona to plead guilty to the charge in exchange for a sentence of time served, 62 months in the British Belmarsh prison, after which, he will be returned to his home country of Australia.

The charges stem from documents Assange received from Chelsea Manning, at the time a Military Intelligence analyst. Assange published the documents to the news organization he founded, WikiLeaks, in one of the largest dumps of classified information in American history, revealing a multitude of war crimes committed by American occupation forces during their invasion of Afghanistan and subsequent illegal invasion of Iraq.

The court documents revealing Assange's plea deal were filed on Monday evening in the US District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands, a US-occupied territory in the Pacific Ocean.

Assange will appear in court on Wednesday, and is expected to be sentenced to 62 months, with credit for time served in British prison, allowing Assange to return to his country of citizenship.

Assange has been held in Belmarsh Prison in the UK for the last 62 months, where his health has rapidly deteriorated, with many of those closest to the journalist suggesting in recent months he could die from poor health if not released soon.

At least three news outlets were leaked confidential material from inside the Donald Trump campaign, including its report vetting JD Vance as a vice presidential candidate. So far, each has refused to reveal any details about what they received. Instead, Politico, The New York Times and The Washington Post have written about a potential hack of the campaign and described what they had in broad terms. Their decisions stand in marked contrast to the 2016 presidential campaign, when a Russian hack exposed emails to and from Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager, John Podesta. The website Wikileaks published a trove of these embarrassing missives, and mainstream news organizations covered them avidly.

It's not long until Charlie shows up, and she walks inside the Bunker with a wide smile on her face. Maryann has been put down for a nap, and Joanna is content with playing with Zeus in her room.

"Hey, I'm having a birthday party for Joanna tonight. You're coming, right?"

"I wouldn't miss it for the world," she beams.

"Thank you for coming," Sam says.

"Not a problem, especially since I got fired last week."

"What happened?"

"It turns out the company I work for was outsourcing to child labor, so I took a big Wikileak all over that. It's cool, though. It's given me more time to focus on my hobbies like LARPing, macrame, and hunting."

"Excuse me?" Sam and Dean say at the same time.

"You didn't know? I thought Y/N would have told you."

"You knew about this?" Dean asks you.

"I might have," you wince. "I knew how you'd react, but she's been really good about it. She's being safe."

"Yeah. Plus, it was just a couple of little cases. I took down a teenage vampire and a ghost, which sounds like a Y.A. novel if you say it out loud."

"How did it go?" Sam asks, still concerned.

"It was... intense. I wish hunting was more magical, you know?" Sam and Dean look confused, and she moves on. "Never mind. So, where is this Commodore 64 of yours?"

Sam escorts her back to the command center with the big computer, and she gasps in amazement. She rushes over to the computer and begins messing with it to see if she can try and figure it out.

"Sweet Ada Lovelace. This thing belongs in a museum. I mean, it's got encryption software. It seems to be powered by something magical. It's kind of an alarm system. Maybe for global badness? This computer is what locked this place down."

"Can we use it to track angels?"

"Let me see what I can do." Charlie is a master at technology, so she hooks up all kinds of wires and switches that are hooked up to her laptop. "Alright. It took some doing, but now we can download it. This beast has all the Men of Letters files."

"It's a start. Thank you, Charlie. This is great."

Sam and Dean look at each other, and it's clear they want to ask her something.

"So, you've been hunting... alone?"

"I know," she sighs. "Not a good idea, according to the 'Supernatural' books."

"You really can't delete those from the Internet?" Sam asks, annoyed.

"Not even I can do that."

"Where do you even find them?"

"A top-secret place I call Amazon," she says with a cheeky grin. "Someone uploaded all the unpublished works. I thought it was fanfic at first, but it was clearly Edlund's work."

"Who uploaded it?"

"I don't know. Their screen name was beckywinchester176. Ring a bell?"

You can't help but let out a loud cackle. Sam gives you the biggest bitch face, but you can't help but continue to laugh.

"Remember when you got married to her?" you giggle.

"Keep it up, Y/N," Sam nods in annoyance.

Charlie types on her laptop only to huff out in frustration

"Ugh, these files are encrypted. This is gonna take a while. So, takeout, sleepover, and braid each other's hair?"

"I have an idea," Sam smiles.

Since Dean got Game of Thrones for Sam, Dean thought it would be best to watch some of that with Charlie since she is an avid watcher. Sam grabs some books and files regarding what might be on that computer and sits next to the bed to read while Dean and Charlie watch their show. You're sitting at the head of the bed on your own laptop, looking at decorations for Joanna's birthday party. You need to grab stuff with same-day shipping so it'll be here before the end of the day.

Dean and Charlie watch three episodes before deciding that it's a good time for a break.

"Wow. That Joffrey's a dick," Dean scoffs.

"Oh, you have no idea. Wait until he--"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa," Sam stutters. "Spoilers! I haven't read all the books yet."

"You're reading the books?"

"Yes, Dean, I like to read books. You know, the one without pictures?"

Dean rolls his eyes, and Charlie shifts on the bed a few times to get a feel of the mattress.

"Man, this bed is about as comfortable as a brick. Any plans on moving in anytime soon?"

"I am moved in. This is just my style."

"Yeah, this is his style," Dean rolls his eyes.

"I'm sorry I haven't hung up the 'Hang in there, kitty' poster yet, Dean. Feel free to redecorate."

"So, what, our home's not good enough for the 'Hang in there, kitty' poster?"

"This isn't our home. This is where we work."

"You bet your ass this is our home," you snap at him. "This is the place where we're going to raise our kids. There is nowhere I'd rather be, so you better get used to living here. This is your home because we're going to make it our home. Am I making myself clear?"

"Okay," Charlie clears her throat and stands up. "We should all take a breather."

"I'm gonna go get us some more beers. How about that?" Dean says and leaves the room immediately.

"So, Charlie, what was that about how hunting isn't magical?" Sam asks.

"Saving people, hunting things, the family business, right? I am down, but I was raised on Tolkien, man. I mean, where is all this?" She holds up the Game of Thrones disc. "Where are my White Walkers and my volcano and magic ring to throw in the damn thing? Where's my quest?"

"Magic quests suck. Trust me," Sam sighs.

"I'm pretty magical myself," you say. "I can give you magical quests if you want."

"The download should be done by now."

You three meet Dean in the kitchen, and the four of you head down to the command center to check on the computer. As soon as you enter, you notice the shelving units have moved, and no one was down here to do that.

"What the hell?" you say.

You walk close and see some sort of gray stuff on the wall behind the shelving units. Sam and Dean move them out of the way to reveal two gray pods on the wall. Sam pulls his gun out while Dean pulls out his knife. He cuts part of the way through one pod, and an arm falls out. Charlie yelps out and you put a hand on her shoulder to comfort her. Dean cuts the rest of the way, and a woman falls out of it and onto the ground.

You're not sure what to make of this. Who the hell is this woman? She's only out for ten minutes, and when she comes to, everything starts to make sense. Her name is Dorothy, like from The Wizard of Oz. Sam found her file pretty easily, and as he was reading it, Dorothy started to explain why she was there and what was going on.

The Wicked Witch of the West was destroying Oz so badly that she was sent to your world as punishment. In turn, that also sent Dorothy here to kill her, but they both ended up being stuck in "cryosleep", which is what those gray pods are. The other pod is sliced open, so the witch is somewhere in the Bunker looking for whatever she needs to return home.

You conjure up a big ball of magic and shoot it out of the room knowing it will be sent to your kids' rooms. Their rooms will be spelled so that the witch won't be able to get in and harm them. When Dorothy sees you using magic, she becomes very afraid of you.

"Whoa, calm down. I'm not a bad witch," you quickly say. "Think of me as Glinda, the good witch."

That seems to ease her fear.

"Holy shit!" Charlie gasps as she reads her file. "The first case investigated in this bunker involved Dorothy. She and the witch came into this room, and they never came out. This will never stop blowing my mind!"

"Okay, pace yourself, Toto," Dean rolls his eyes.

"Oz is real. It's part of the fairy world," Dorothy says. "We have to find her."

"No, we have to talk before anyone does anything, okay?"

"Talk? Typical Men of Letters, standing around, and having a nice, little chat with your noses buried in your books while your little secretary takes notes," she scoffs and stands up.

"We're hunters."

"Who are you calling a secretary?" Charlie scoffs.

"You're not a secretary? You're a Woman of Letters? How long have I been out?"

"That's why we need to talk. You've been 'out' for over seventy-five years. Now, according to our files, you came here to kill the wicked witch and then disappeared. What happened?"

"We couldn't find a way to kill her, so I did the only thing that I could. A binding spell that came at a price--her soul with mine. I've been frozen with the witch all this time. She can't be killed, and if I'm awake, then so is she."

"Wait, if she's here, why didn't she kill you?" Sam wonders.

"She can't."

"You're protected by the Witch of the North's kiss. It's from the books," Charlie says.

"Forget the books," Dorothy rolls her eyes. "They're not important. I'm protected. You four aren't, and neither are the kids you're trying to protect. Now, the witch came here looking for something. I have no idea what it is, but we have to find her before she finds it."

"Don't worry about my kids. Let me worry about them," you say and cross your arms.

You're not worried about your kids getting hurt because you've spelled the room. Not even the strongest magic can penetrate because you will it so. The only thing that can overpower it is you, and that's a fact.

"Alright," Dean raises his hands, "Charlie, dig into the files. See if you can find anything that puts a dent in a witch. Sam, Y/N, and I will have a look-see."

"I'll stay with Charlie. She might need some help," you offer, and Dean nods.

"I'm helping you," Dorothy demands.

"I don't doubt it. For right now, why don't you rest up and help the smartest person in the room?" Sam says and points to Charlie.

The brothers leave you three alone, and Charlie looks at Dorothy with a shy smile.

"So... big fan. Ozma of Oz--"

"Is a total ass," Dorothy cuts her off.

"You were much nicer in the books," Charlie pouts.

"Those books are the ravings of a sad, old man who is also my father."

"Wait, your dad was L. Frank Baum?" you ask in interest.

"A Man of Letters. Another glorified librarian if you ask me."

"Hey, these guys may have been sexist, but like all librarians, they were wicked smart, too. The dude who was here when you first came in, Haggerty, kept your case file open and worked it every day until he retired. Obviously, he never found you, but if you took five seconds to read, he did find a way to fight the Wicked Witch. Do you remember the poppy fields in the first book?"

"That's not actually how it happened. It was much bloodier."

"Stop ruining my childhood," Charlie groans. "Do you remember the poppies?" Dorothy nods twice. "Haggerty made a deal with a fairy and got some poppy extract. I'm gonna get some bullets from the gun range and make some poppy bullets. So, are you coming or what?"

Charlie leaves without waiting for an answer, and you and Dorothy follow her to the gun range. When you get there, you three work hard in making the bullets. Charlie finishes with one gun and hands it to you, but you push her hand away with a chuckle.

"Sweetheart, I am the gun. You need it more than me."

"Right," she chuckles.

There are four guns with poppy bullets made, and three bullets for each gun since there weren't a lot of poppies, to begin with. Once you have all four guns, you set out to find the brothers.

Even before U.S. Air National Guard member Jack Teixeira was arrested on Thursday as the leaker of dozens of classified government documents that have made their way around the internet in recent weeks, the inevitable comparisons with Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden suggested that he was the latest in a long line of mass leakers of intelligence. As one journalist reported on the most generic of similarities, “Like Manning and Snowden, Teixeira has a military or intelligence tie as a member of the Massachusetts Air Force National Guard.”

Indeed, in the last decade, a new digital generation of insider threat has emerged to challenge secrecy in the U.S. intelligence community, a phenomenon that author James Bamford has described as a “uniquely postmodern breed of whistleblower.” That’s true as far as it goes, but Teixeira should not be thought of in this vein. It would be like saying a Yugo is like a Mercedes because they both have four wheels and an engine. Sure, everyone working in the U.S. Defense Department’s sprawling intelligence apparatus is part of that bureaucracy, but that’s a tautology. It would also be correct to observe that nearly every spy in American history has had a “military or intelligence tie” as well, but that doesn’t explain much in the Teixeira case.

The real but superficial comparisons to leakers like Snowden and Manning classify Teixeira as a mass leaker on a personal crusade. But this is incorrect. Snowden and Manning leaked classified documents to journalists and activists to help bring about the kind of world they wanted to live in—one of citizen-enforced governmental transparency where states have less power. While foolish and misguided, they were ideologically motivated in taking their reckless actions.

In contrast, it seems that Teixeira simply displayed terrible judgment and was showboating his access to privileged information to increase his street cred with pals on the internet. In that sense, he was more like an irresponsible teenager who took his parents’ Ferrari out joyriding with his gearhead friends. Teixeira isn’t a “new breed” of insider threat, and he certainly isn’t a whistleblower seeking to publicize some perceived wrong.

Snowden’s mass leaks in 2013 were not the first digital challenge to the U.S. intelligence community. Three years before, then-U.S. Army Private Manning provided 500,000 classified documents to WikiLeaks, which published them to great fanfare for transparency advocates and caused much consternation in Washington. These are not isolated cases; if anything, the tempo of such mass public disclosures seems to be increasing. In March 2017, the CIA fell victim to what is known as the “Vault 7” series, in which sensitive computer tools for digital surveillance and cyber operations were given to WikiLeaks and published online.

Disgruntled former CIA software engineer Joshua Schulte was found guilty of the breach (and also of possessing child pornography, again suggesting an anemic background investigation). Although Manning, Snowden, and Schulte represent the most significant mass leakers of classified information, others have played smaller roles. For instance, National Security Agency (NSA) contractor Reality Winner printed a sensitive document from the NSA computer system and sent it to the self-described publisher of “adversarial journalism,” the Intercept, run by journalist-activists originally linked to the Snowden leaks.

Yet treating Teixeira as another in an increasingly long and embarrassing line of leakers impedes the lessons that can and should be learned from this case, which is marked by social adherence to a gaming community more than a cause. What these leakers do have in common with Teixeira is that—as far as anyone has proven—not one of them carried out the intelligence breach acting as a recruited agent on behalf of a foreign power. They are thus not “spies” in the traditional sense of the word.

Instead, they are what we have described in our academic research as self-directed insider threats: intelligence professionals who chose to betray their oath to protect classified information and did so on their own initiative. Some acted on their political or ideological beliefs, others for disgruntlement, to show off, or even to win arguments in gaming chat rooms. As the Teixeira charging documents allege, his intent was to “discuss geopolitical affairs and current and historical wars.” It was not some kind of misguided protest about U.S. domestic or foreign policy. Washington is apparently not yet prepared to understand such a vector of counterintelligence vulnerability.

To be sure, Teixeira otherwise shares much in common with leakers such as Snowden and Manning. They were all young people of junior rank (despite Snowden’s ludicrous claims that he was some kind of “senior advisor”) in sensitive positions in the U.S. intelligence community who abused their access to classified information to share it with people who had no right nor reason to know it. They were all grandiose enough to think that they wouldn’t get caught (or, if they were, would be lionized enough to avoid criminal penalties), and none of them realized the broader geopolitical or diplomatic ramifications of their actions.

In practice, whatever the motivations, the damage is just as real as if they were spies. As long-serving Director of Central Intelligence Allen Dulles explained in 1963, providing secrets for public consumption has the same net effect as “betraying it to the Soviets just as clearly as if he secretly handed it to them,” and it is thus reasonable to charge Teixeira under the same criminal codes as the other mass leakers. But that’s where the similarities end.

Ideologically driven betrayal is a well-trodden path in the annals of espionage, from the communism-inspired “Cambridge Five” spy ring during the Cold War to the Cuban sympathies that motivated Ana Montes, who was recently released from prison after serving 20 years for spying for Cuba. Preventing those with divided loyalties from accessing state secrets has given rise to the modern system of periodic background checks, invasive polygraph testing, and the requirement that those with security clearances document any foreign travel or meaningful foreign associations. Yet very few of these measures seek even to identify, much less prevent, self-directed insider threats such as Winner, Manning, Snowden, and the like.

Effective frameworks for personnel security and counterintelligence require understanding the varied (and often multiple) motivations for insider threats. In this case, it seems that Teixeira’s access to classified systems far exceeded his professional remit. Further, it seems clear that the counterintelligence vetting process failed to pick up some rather radical and distasteful views, but these views do not seem to be his motivation for leaking. It seems more likely that Teixeira’s narcissism, bad judgment, and arrogance got the best of him, although some of these traits can be hard to uncover in a traditional background investigation that is often more concerned with blackmailable behaviors than judgment. The U.S. intelligence community will almost certainly conduct a thorough post-mortem of the Teixeira case for lessons learned, and it may be prudent to look beyond his recklessness to discern not only how he got a clearance and why he had such unfettered system access, but also why the government was unaware that its secrets were circulating around the dark corners of the internet for months before he was arrested. The task of counterintelligence trolling of the internet for loose secrets will doubtless require new protocols and legal authorities. In the meantime, the Band-Aid of “security refresher training” will be urgently added to the schedule for the hundreds of thousands of clearance holders—the vast majority of whom already understand the responsibility that comes with a clearance.

Such a post-Teixeira study may suggest that it is time to revisit the post-9/11 collaborative framework of “need to share” and revert to the Cold War’s stricter “need to know” principle. Perhaps the Defense Department will close off intelligence as an initial career thrust for the most junior personnel in the same way that certain specialties (such as working in embassies or in special operations) requires a higher rank and more professional experience. Could the intelligence community differentiate accesses to intelligence between those who need to use the information for their jobs and, on the other hand, those who just need to keep the systems running? For instance, while Manning, Winner, and Schulte had substantive roles dealing with classified intelligence as part of their jobs, Snowden and Teixeira were essentially system administrators. Further, might access to national secrets prudently require an age minimum, just as the Constitution requires for officeholders in the Senate or presidency? After all, the prefrontal cortex responsible for judgment and restraining impulses develops well into one’s mid-to-late 20s.

Or perhaps there is simply an irreducible minimum of bad apples and poor judgment in an enormous—by international comparison—U.S. intelligence community that is comprised, after all, of people. Important decisions will need be made about insider threat protocols, and further actions need to be taken in light of this event. It does no one any good to peddle in false comparisons, such as painting Teixeira as another crusading mass leaker. Only with clarity can the intelligence community hope to learn from this unfortunate event.

This is the analysis of the authors alone and represents no official U.S. Defense Department or government position.

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said Tuesday his government stands firm against the United States over the prosecution of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, an Australian citizen fighting extradition from Britain on U.S. espionage charges.

Albanese’s center-left Labor Party government has been arguing since winning the 2022 elections that the United States should end its pursuit of the 52-year-old, who has spent four years in a London prison fighting extradition.

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken pushed back against the Australian position during a visit Saturday, saying Assange was accused of “very serious criminal conduct” in publishing a trove of classified U.S. documents more than a decade ago.

“I understand the concerns and views of Australians. I think it’s very important that our friends here understand our concerns about this matter,” Blinken told reporters.

On Tuesday, Albanese said, “This has gone on for too long. Enough is enough."

He told reporters that Blinken’s public comments echoed points made by President Joe Biden’s administration during private discussions with Australian government officials.

“We remain very firm in our view and our representations to the American government and we will continue to do so,” Albanese added.

Assange, whose freedom is widely seen as a test of Australia’s leverage with the Biden administration, was discussed in annual bilateral meetings Brisbane, Australia, last week between Blinken and Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong.

Wong told reporters Saturday that Australia wanted the charges “brought to a conclusion.” Australia remains ambiguous about whether the U.S. should drop the prosecution or strike a plea deal.

Assange faces 17 charges of espionage and one charge of computer misuse over WikiLeaks’ publication of hundreds of thousands of classified diplomatic and military documents in 2010. American prosecutors allege he helped U.S. Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning steal classified diplomatic cables and military files that WikiLeaks later published, putting lives at risk.

Australia argues there is a disconnect between the U.S. treatment of Assange and Manning. Then-U.S. President Barack Obama commuted Manning’s 35-year sentence to seven years, which allowed her release in 2017.

Assange has been in high-security Belmarsh Prison since he was arrested in 2019 for skipping bail during a separate legal battle. Before that, he spent seven years inside the Ecuadorian Embassy in London to avoid extradition to Sweden to face allegations of rape and sexual assault. Sweden dropped the sex crimes investigations in 2019 because so much time had passed.

Last week, Assange's brother, Gabriel Shipton, called for Australia to increase pressure on the United States.

“Each day the U.S. administration ignores the Australian public on Julian’s freedom, it becomes clearer and clearer Australia’s true standing in the alliance,” Shipton said, referring to a bilateral security treaty signed in 1951.

But it also describes real world aspirations — here towards Iran and North Korea — from top policymakers across Nato.

These parallels are no coincidence. Because each film was actually subject to script changes imposed by Washington. In the documentary Theaters of War, we show how the CIA and Defence Department have exercised editorial control over thousands of films and TV shows in exchange for lending equipment like helicopters to producers to use on screen.

Such films reflect and construct the paranoid fantasies of our imperial masters, most of them with direct script input: Iran taking Western hostages in Ben Affleck’s Argo; kindly marines unjustly slaughtered for handing out grain to hungry Africans in Black Hawk Down; US politicians too innocent to realise that arming Islamic terrorists will lead to 9/11 in the Julia Roberts hit Charlie Wilson’s War, and the Gerard Butler film Kandahar in which an evil dictator is on the brink of manufacturing a nuclear bomb at a secret facility carved deep inside a mountain. With no option and against all odds...

Is it any wonder that 30 per cent of Americans in a poll said they want to bomb Agrabah, the capital city in Disney’s Aladdin?

Is it any wonder that our politicians, as though clutching rosary beads, prefigure Russia’s invasion of Ukraine with the word “illegal” with no sense of irony and “unprovoked” with no sense of history? When was the last thing you saw depicting Russia which didn’t have it crawling with tyrants? Red Dawn? Rambo; Air Force One; Hunter Killer; James Bond; Jack Ryan; 24; Homeland; Stranger Things…the 6 O’Clock News?

The US government has suppressed scripts — but on others it has overturned their original messages. In the Iron Man screenplay, Robert Downey Jr’s hero was opposed to his father’s arms business. After rewrites he became the ultimate evangelist for a bloodless industry: “Peace means having a bigger stick than the other guy.”

For four decades, almost all script changes had been suppressed until our team used the law to acquire large bundles of government documentation. Regardless, the Defence Department’s entertainment boss compared his role in the “court” of Hollywood to that of a “minor eunuch.” This from a man who controlled hundreds of titles including 12 of the top 20 grossing film franchises — more than Steven Spielberg. His army of Little Hitlers have ensured none of the scripts passing their desks depict: war crimes; coups; assassinations; torture, or indeed anything that “reminds the public” of the “nasty conspiracies” in which America has engaged.

Now, Hollywood producers and celebrities are terrible on foreign policy issues even without state interference. Consider Benedict Cumberbatch, who played the WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in the 2013 film Fifth Estate. Assange tried reasoning with Cumberbatch, saying the studio will use him as “a hired gun, to assume the appearance of the truth in order to assassinate it.”

Sherlock scoffed: “As if I am an easily bought cypher for right-wing propaganda” and “I’ve worked far less hard for more money on other projects.” Cumberbatch demurred when asked to oppose the 35-year prison sentence for Assange’s colleague Chelsea Manning, pontificating: “Isn’t it hypocritical to say, we should know everything about you as a government, but the government can’t know anything about us?” Curiously, while Fifth Estate presents Assange as a shifty egotist, it is Cumberbatch who claims “there is only personal truth” and wanted to play the Assange lead because “I’m a vain actor.”

Acclaimed as a peerless journalist, Julian Assange has entered his fifth year in Britain’s highest security prison without trial. Assange used incontrovertible documentation to expose: US massacres; sadistic detention procedures; corporate suppression of data on global warming, and the Democrats’ backroom machinations to destroy their own socialist presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders, in favour of the less popular hawk, Hillary Clinton. Those intimately involved in Assange’s case say the state has meted out “torture,” which includes giving him a computer to conduct his defence with all the keys superglued down and falsely diagnosing him with HIV. And where was Cumberbatch in the middle of all this? Making The Courier, whose production was supported from the outset by the CIA and which mangled Cold War history to hype the threat from Moscow.

Or consider the state affiliations of another “nice” celebrity, Sacha Baron Cohen. Cohen’s production company claims they lied to the US military to gain entry into a base in Alabama but the scenes there feel staged, setting up Cohen’s character Bruno for a series of one-liners. Cohen apparently escaped by squeezing under a rapidly closing gate while guards yelled in pursuit.

Another time, Bruno interviewed a “terrorist” discovered through Cohen’s CIA contact. This was in fact a Palestinian greengrocer who said Cohen told him the interview would be about his peace activism. The resultant case was settled for an undisclosed sum.

In Israel, actually, Bruno was beaten by a crowd of Israelis, who, angered by his camp clothing, started to stone him on camera. For the first time, Cohen broke character. He desperately yelled that he was an Israeli Jew, not a homosexual foreigner and fled for his life. The footage has never emerged even though it would presumably highlight racism, supposedly what Sacha Baron Cohen is all about. Wrong racists.

Call this propaganda, soft-censorship, or threat construction — whatever — it shapes attitudes to foreign policy and it is ridiculous: in 2003 the Americans said Iraq had 5,000 tonnes of mustard gas but after 13 years of sanctions we didn’t even find mustard. This spring, the Americans invoked the terror of China’s spy balloon. Gee, I hope the Chinese don’t send any more party paraphernalia. I’d hate for them to make us sit on a Whoopee Cushion.

Of course, outside the political fiction projected in the blue glow of our spooky little monitors, there is a real threat — it is us. On Ukraine alone, leaks by people of conscience indicate casualties approaching half a million in a deadlocked war and yet still we insist we “weaken” Russia and, it seems, detonate our own oil supply and bring the fight to Crimea. Even international specialist John Mearsheimer, propelled to fame by his opposition to the war, does so on the grounds that we should be allying with Moscow to threaten China, oafishly asserting that if not Beijing will end up stationing missile systems in Mexico and Canada to target the United States.

Ours is a demented political culture, egged on by hubristic visions of its own righteousness. We urgently need to be a purposeful peace movement, with our eyes open to how the media holds diplomacy in abject contempt.

What’s the difference between Evan Gershkovich and Julian Assange?

New Post has been published on https://sa7ab.info/2024/08/12/whats-the-difference-between-evan-gershkovich-and-julian-assange/

What’s the difference between Evan Gershkovich and Julian Assange?

Whether the WSJ reporter was a CIA asset or not, Washington had no qualms when pursuing another media figure for the same activities

While the jury remains out as to whether Evan Gershkovich, the Wall Street Journal reporter who was arrested last year in Russia for espionage, is smart, it goes without saying that he is most definitely ballsy. For those just getting up to speed on the latest Spy vs Spy episode, Gershkovich, 32, was nabbed in March 2023 inside a restaurant in the Russian city of Ekaterinburg as he was passed classified data on Russia’s defense industry. What makes Gershkovich particularly ‘ballsy’ in this case is that the suspected espionage happened smack in the middle of Russia’s military operation against Ukraine, and when Moscow’s domestic security apparatus is operating on high alert, 24/7. Add to that the exploding rates of patriotism and the Motherland makes the most fatal Bond girl resemble a ditzy blonde at happy hour (no offense to ditzy blondes, of course). In other words, what on earth was the young reporter thinking as he waltzed into a war-zone, sniffing around in Russia’s military drawer? While we may never know the exact answer to that question, the Russian opposition, in perfect lockstep with Western liberals, quickly jumped to the defense of the cocky Gershkovich, who was released last week as part of a historic prisoner exchange between Russia and the West. They say the young man was really (really!) NOT part of some CIA Mockingbird thing, but rather was hoodwinked by those dastardly Russians into accepting the classified data when all he really wanted to do was write an innocent piece of investigative journalism. Thanks to the marvel of modern technology, however, there is compelling evidence to show that Gershkovich did an admirable job of incriminating himself. Just seconds before Russian operatives swooped in to make their arrest, the reporter is heard reassuring the official from the Russian defense industry that the necessary precautions have been taken to prevent any possible, you know, ‘misunderstandings.’

Jailed US reporter knew he was handling classified Russian data (EXCLUSIVE VIDEO)

“We won’t even write that we saw the documents,” he said. Then, sinking deeper into the judicial morass, he said, “we won’t be suspected of gathering [info] and no-one will be suspected of leaking [it].” That slick remark is followed by Gershkovich telling his source that he wanted him to “leave [the data] at home…this is only an interview.” The clinch moment came as he attempted to conceal what appears to have been a flash drive containing the coveted data and just moments before being frog-marched out of the restaurant. Commenting on the incident, the Kremlin said the journalist had been “caught red-handed,” while Russia’s Investigative Committee claimed he had engaged in espionage on behalf of the US intelligence community. Whether that is true, false, or there is some murky middle place in this spy thriller, we will probably never know for sure. There remains the distinct possibility, however, that Russia had hopes of utilizing the snooping journalist, a mere ‘pawn’ in the great game, as a valuable chess piece with an eye towards future prison exchanges. But back to the original question: what was the nervy Gershkovich thinking? I mean, all of this sounds very familiar, doesn’t it? The West hotly pursued an Australian media figure named Julian Assange around the world for about 15 years for engaging in approximately the same criminal activities. That chase came to an anticlimactic end in June when the founder of WikiLeaks, the notorious publisher of leaked documents, agreed to plead guilty to a single charge under the Espionage Act in order to secure his long-sought freedom. While many in Washington celebrated Assange’s release, others expressed outright indignation. Former Republican vice-president and ex-CIA chief Mike Pence, for example, described Assange’s plea deal as “a miscarriage of justice [that] dishonors the service and sacrifice of the men and women of our armed forces and their families.” “Julian Assange endangered the lives of our troops in a time of war and should have been prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Pence howled, before reaching a fist-pounding crescendo: “There should be no plea deals to avoid prison for anyone that endangers the security of our military or the national security of the United States. Ever.” It may require little persuasion to suggest that Mr Pence would have a completely different attitude towards Gershkovich, who, like Assange under different circumstances, may have “endangered the lives of troops in a time of war.”

Never Forget Julian Assange

 JULY 19, 2024 

Gosztola  "And but the important thing for those who listen to your show to understand is that he said in court, in a US territorial court, working as a journalist, I encouraged my source to provide information that was said to be classified in order to publish that information, I believe that the First Amendment protected that activity, but I accept that as written, it’s a violation of the Espionage Act statute. He was charged under the Espionage Act. 17 of the 18 charges were Espionage Act offenses. That then prompted the judge to say, so you had a certain belief, but you understand what the law actually says as well, because he was basically saying he didn’t think he had violated the law. So then Assange told her, I believe the First Amendment and the Espionage Act are in contradiction with each other, but I accept that it would be difficult to win such a case given all the circumstances. I think that’s the major takeaway. The First Amendment and the Espionage Act are in conflict in this country. You can’t reconcile the two, at least the way that the Justice Department wants to use the Espionage Act against people who aren’t even just US citizens. They’re trying to apply US law to international journalists."

+ "They put in writing in his plea deal that he can never be prosecuted for any journalism that he did, any act that he committed that they might consider criminal on their terms. Of course, I don’t see it as a crime, but they said that nothing related to the DNC, nothing related to CIA hacking materials that inflamed and upset Mike Pompeo, none of that can ever be the basis for a case so they can’t bring charges and try to extradite him from Australia, and that’s a huge win for Julian Assange. There’s no gag order in the plea deal, and there’s also nothing in it that says he can’t return to work for WikiLeaks if he would like to do so."

& "They just didn’t tell the whole story. They didn’t tell it right, the inconvenient truths about the story, which is in fact, we were not attacked in the Gulf of Tonkin on that day was a phony. 

You know, this reading of radars here, and they knew it in real time. So I want to sharpen this point a little bit. Most of what these journalists, these establishment journalists do, in the area of national security, war and peace, foreign policy is based on leaks, based on leaks. What is at issue here with Julian Assange is the government wants to reserve the exclusive power to leak material and suddenly announce, well, this isn’t really classified. That’s really what’s going on. Julian Assange offered a way of other people who knew this information and say, wait a minute, they’re lying to the American people. Let me tell you the truth. No, we shot innocent people there in that incident. We committed this war crime. It’s like Sy Hersh and milai in Vietnam that what the government has done is really more treacherous than you’re suggesting. "

CABLES >]: The FAKE BODY DOUBLE of Julian Assange was killed in London Jail in 2020 and another body Double was placed in<

__

Why?

The REAL CABLES>]; WIRES of Military operations had Julian Assange in protective custody ( remember Pompeo CIA director said he wanted to kill Assange and News stories broke that the U.S. Government plotted to kill Assange _trended<).. Because the CIA did go after him and did kill the body double in 2020 . Then another was placed by white hats ( they were trolling the CIA/ deep state).

The REAL story is TRUMP's ( w/world Associates) paid for Assanges defense .. (Trump did personally wire funds also... All this WILL come out in due time with paper trail)

Assange was placed in protective custody this whole time.

*Remember two months ago i told you KEEP YOUR EYES ON ASSANGE > i said this because i got CABLES>] that white hats were going to make a move and free him

( the reason for this is white hats in Military intelligence got the ASSANGE KILLSWITCH

_ .*> The hundreds(/thousand) of terabytes of data connected to Hillary Clinton, pizzagate, pedophile rings connected to Epstein and ELITES> P. DIDDY> HOLLYWOOD //// ALL THE DATA TERABYTES were hidden in the Internet through certain unopened email accounts and locked chambers in the deep web,> including real software and servers of WikiLeaks that was hidden in secure banks/////

_NOW White Hats/military have FULL control of servers, software. And the Assange Internet KILLSWITCH programs<

and finished all the investigation and sealed indictments connected to ALL THE INFORMATION WIKI LEAKS HAD STORED IN KILLSWITCH OPERATIONS////

____

There is Major panic at the Pentagon and the CIA , deep state military intelligent and Washington DC ELITES as The real ASSANGE makes a Real reappearance ....

They know there is no use to kill him now because the military have all the data and servers and KILLSWITCH KEYS///

There is true panic in DC > corrupt 3 letter agencies and deep state military leaders as the KILLSWITCH HOLDS KEYS TO THE REAL EVENTS OF 911 documents and emails and phone calls connecting Bush. chaney. Clinton. CIA. DARLPA to 911 EVENTS<

_

_> a big part of bringing down Assange by the deep state was the cover up adrenochrome connected to clintons human trafficking John podesta pedophilia rings> Epstein>>>> Hollywood.. P Diddy and top ELITES and music executives

__

Now there is PANIC as the Rockefellers/ the Carnegie endowment ( CIA operators) + Elites are in desperate panic to create new laws to stop WHISTLEBLOWERS and Any accusations against the CIA and Pentagon for corruption connected to human trafficking, conspiracy and slanderous accusations ( right now the Democrats are preparing a Bill to stop Whistleblowers or EXPOSURE of podesta/ Clintons connection to pedophile rings and trafficking torture rituals> adrenochrome...

( Remember i told you months ago this was so going to come back.. And Trump also said he wanted to expose Anthony Weiner this all connected to ASSANGE AND MILITARY OPERATIONS...... This why there is complete panic inside Hollywood and top of music industry)

CHEYENNE MOUNTAIN is very busy with USSF and the ASSANGE KILLSWITCH KEYS

... But at the same time U.S. military have been hosting Mexican nationals for emergency training in Colorado mountains. Large underground bunkers near Cheyenne mountains.

The reason white hats are secretly training thousands of Mexican nationals for war and battle is because they are being sent back to Mexico in underground.Maglev Trains //// There is panic in parts of the Patriot communities that CHEYENNE mountain has been taken over by cartels and Mexicans < this far from the TRUTH////

The REAL TRUTH is white hats are training tens of thousands of Mexicans for a revolution to over throw the Mexican government controlled by the CIA operations for over a half a century .
