Thank you wikileaks
 

Just a reminder of what wikileaks exposed and how we are all in debt to people like this who fight for a better world by exposing the truth...the light shines a bit dimmer today but there will be more people like manning,assange,sonwden etc to expose corrupt governments...these men are heroes and freedom fighters...history will remember them as such...

imagine if we never found about this:


In 2010 Wikileaks published a series of three "mega leaks" using information passed to it by US Army intelligence analyst Bradley Manning, who later changed her name to Chelsea.

The whistleblower leaked more than 700,000 classified documents related to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, 251,287 diplomatic cables from US embassies and 482,232 Army reports.

One of the most damaging for the US was a video called Collateral Murder, footage of unarmed Iraqi civilians and two Reuters journalists being gunned down by American Apache helicopters.

The storm generated by this video made Wikileaks and Assange household names around the world.

The first mega leak was a tranche of more than 91,000 documents from the war in Afghanistan.

Wikileaks handed the juiciest papers to newspapers including The Guardian and the New York Times, which revealed how the US military killed hundreds of civilians in unreported incidents.

This was eclipsed by the Iraq War logs - some 391,832 field reports - the biggest leak in the military history of the United States.

They recorded more than 66,000 civilian deaths - many more than had previously been admitted.

Some 700 civilians including pregnant women were killed by US troops at checkpoints, papers revealed.

They also showed sickening torture of prisoners by Iraqi forces, and that US commanders had a policy of ignoring allegations of rape and murder by Iraqi police and soldiers.

Later Wikileaks began releasing its stash of diplomatic cables from US embassies, including embarrassingly candid assessments of the USA's allies and the revelation the US and Britain spied on UN secretary general Kofi Annan.

Wikileaks has published material exposing toxic waste dumping on the ivory coast, Scientology manuals and Guantanamo Bay detention camp procedures.

More recently, Wikileaks claimed UK government helped CIA hack Samsung Smart TVs and turn them into "microphones".

It has been reported that TV viewers were stalked by a virus in their set called the Weeping Angel.

Software was also allegedly developed by the CIA to hack into people’s smartphones, computers and cars.

It claimed the papers — dubbed “Vault 7” — expose how a sinister TV surveillance programme was developed by UK and US spy chiefs.

British agents were said to have been put in danger by the release of classified documents.

Wikileaks also published thousands of emails from Hillary Clinton's campaign in the final weeks of the race for the White House.

Assange defended the publication, denying links with Russia and claims that his website was trying to influence the US vote.

In July 2017 the site published 20,000 hacked email from Emmanuel Macron's campaign when he was running for president of France.

They cast doubt on his tough Brexit stance as it was revealed he was advised that staying close to the UK was a "key priority" for France as Britain is the "most important" military player in Europe.

In September 2017, WikiLeaks released "Spy Files Russia" which revealed "how a St Petersburg-based technology company called Peter-Service helped state entities gather detailed data on Russian cellphone users".

The tech was described as being "part of a national system of online surveillance called System for Operative Investigative Activities (SORM)."

In January 2019, US federal prosecutors have been pressuring witnesses to testify against Assange suggesting the government is building its criminal case against him.

WikiLeaks said in a statement: "The submission reveals for the first time that U.S. federal prosecutors have in the last few months formally approached people in the United States, Germany and Iceland and pressed them to testify against Mr Assange in return for immunity from prosecution."

It added that criminal charges were filed secretly by the Trump administration.

Cruci,

Take this moment and bare witness to liberal dishonesty.

Most people on the right believe assange to be a hero.

He is a hero.

Yea I also noticed a specific pattern these days. If you're against Trump you're also against Assange and vice versa. I support Assange and his crusade against corruption and injustice, furthermore today's result is a bit of letdown seeing he has been confined to the Ecuadorian embassy for past 7 years for nothing.

Still things are just now getting really interesting. How will Trump handle this.

Oh and bladewire is a dirty whore...:2 cents:

only select liberals are eating shit...

what they fail to understand is assanges situation...they fabricated the rape crap and did everything possible to shut him down and he kicked them right back in the nuts with the hilary emails...fuck em...its not like he fucked the boy scouts over...he fucked over the criminal US gov...

the hilary emails are just a fraction of what wikileaks brought us and we are all deeply in debt to them for their fight for what is good and just...everybody makes mistakes and I believe the hilary emails timing may have been one but an understandable one...

WikiLeaks did nothing but publish what Russia gave them about the West.

Fencing stolen content takes no talent, ask any tube site, and it's not "journalism" as you Russian troll nics pretend to call it.

so if the source of the truth is not bona fide the truth should not be published? nonsense...

FFS you people are wierd.

Assange got himself into this mess when he refused to be interviewed by law enforcement about a number of serious sexual assaults.

He eventually holed up in the Embassy from which he taunted various governments and persons of considerable power and wealth.

The crimes for which he was to be interviewed were serious. But like everyone else he had the opportunity to plead his case. And ffs this was Sweden a country with and incredibly liberal regime, not some hellhole where he would be treated to a kangaroo court and a life sentence.

Assange was too arrogant, he thought he could do whatever he wanted. This is not about freedom of speech, protecting whistle blowers, journalistic freedom, or any of the other bullshit he has spread about his case.

Assange brought himself down with his pride and arrogance. That is not a political statement, just an honest opinion game we have all seen being played out.

However now the real drama begins. Even his biggest fans on here know that he will spill his guts to save himself.....

:2 cents:

lets not forget the rape charges they fabricated against him...it is EXACTLY what they do anyway...

"we will not discredit the source" - no secret service that got busted ever LOL

Lets all remember Assanage lied from the start of wikileaks.. Claiming he had a entire team behind him when it was only himself at the start..

He's always been a liar with a agenda.. It was never about being a place for whistle blowers to leak to but rather a place he could pick and choose what he posted biased on his agenda..

I would refuse as well...why take part in the made up bullshit?...

How do you know it's made up?

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh


embassies do not give refuge to rapists...lets get serious here, the US gov is the most corrupt underhand mother fucker there is...only crocket and bladewire believe that this is not a setup and that it is just a delightful coincidence that he is a "rapist" LOL

the crockett/bladewire midset:

the US gov got exposed doing terrible things, but the US gov took it like champs and did not try to discredit assange



AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHAAAAAA!

assange basically sacrificed his life for the truth to come out...a lone and blackmailed man, cornered in to one room for years, framed with rape charges did what he could against the most formidable criminal organization in the world responsible for millions of deaths...he is not a perfect hero but still a hero and today is a dark day for the truth...

I'm sorry - no matter how you look at it Bradley Manning is a traitor. He didn't expose secrets because he was a whistle blower; Wikileaks helped him hack information and expose a ton of military secrets. The damage he did to our military will set us back decades.

im sorry no matter how you look at it the US army is a criminal organization responsible for the deaths of millions of people...if your organization has a problem with the truth being exposed, then maybe there is something wrong with your organization? :2 cents::thumbsup

As Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas wrote in New York Times Co. v. United States, the landmark case in which the Court allowed the publication of the Pentagon Papers which, you may recall, the Nixon Administration argued were obtained illegally...

'The dominant purpose of the First Amendment was to prohibit the widespread practice of governmental suppression of embarrassing information. It is common knowledge that the First Amendment was adopted against the widespread use of the common law of seditious libel to punish the dissemination of material that is embarrassing to the powers-that-be. The present cases will, I think, go down in history as the most dramatic illustration of that principle. A debate of large proportions goes on in the Nation over our posture in Vietnam. That debate antedated the disclosure of the contents of the present documents. The latter are highly relevant to the debate in progress. Secrecy in government is fundamentally anti-democratic, perpetuating bureaucratic errors. Open debate and discussion of public issues are vital to our national health. On public questions, there should be "uninhibited, robust, and wide-open" debate.

''Russian Agent'' - that's how you justify killing innocent people

Oh, ok then

Then it would blow your mind to know that Chelsea Manning is actually looked upon by your ilk to be a traitor.

Or is she looked upon as a hero to you too now?

LOL. you guys crack me up :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

The extradition warrant from Sweden was revoked on 19 May 2017, when the prosecutor also closed the entire underlying investigation. Having obtained Mr. Assange’s testimony, the prosecutor decided it would be disproportionate to proceed.

The investigation had already been found to be baseless by Stockholm’s senior prosecutor, Eva Finne, who found that the conduct alleged by the police "disclosed no crime at all". SMS messages from the alleged complainant made public in 2015 showed that she "did not want to accuse Assange of anything", that she felt "railroaded by police and others around her", and "police made up the charges".

The UK’s role in the Swedish affair was exposed in emails obtained under Freedom of Information Act which revealed that Sweden moved to drop the investigation in 2013, but the UK Crown Prosecution Service persuaded Sweden to keep it alive. Emails show the UK advised Sweden not to interview Mr. Assange in the UK in 2011 and 2012.

UK prosecutors admitted to deleting key emails concerning Assange and engaged in elaborate attempts to keep correspondence from the public record.

”The United Nations formally ruled his detention to be arbitrary, a violation of human rights. They have repeatedly issued statements calling for him to walk free—including very recently."

opposite ends of the spectrum:

Shill. It’s journalism

Bladewire logic: if you want to expose corruption within the USgov you have to fill out a C-57 form and hand it over with all copies of the evidence to the CIA LOL!

Then the USgov will investigate itself and find nothing wrong!

Yeah right...

I'd rather not be assange

Assange is charged with hacking.

Manning gave the DOJ her emails you big balled Alpha defect!

Hacking is not journalism. Barf up Putin's cum from your gut bro it's poison!

I would change the word "hacking" to "american government-ing"...it is what the US gov does to everybody it can: spy and hack...

so to complain about assange doing a "american government-ing" is very funny indeed :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

bladewire logic:

"hello US gov, I am an investigative journalist, I do not want to hack because this would be so 'US government' so I am kindly asking you to hand over the proof of your dirty deeds!" :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

"SURE! mr investigative journalist, here is the proof! just fill out a C-3948 whistle blower form and hand it over to the CIA!"

"thanks! I am not great reporter!"

just a reminder that assange was not arrested for "US national security" but because he exposed what the government did and how they murder civilians...none of the invaded countries now live a better life because of fake US invasion and the war racket is there for the sole purpose of making $$$...

fight for freedom from the USA and support freedom fighters and whistleblowers because once they get us they will naturally move to get what is left...and this is you...the military industrial complex will not stop until somebody stops it...your lives mean just as little as ours :2 cents:
