  • Assange Accuser Worked with US-Funded, CIA-Tied Anti-Castro Group
    9 December 2010 par (Open-Publishing)

    Yesterday Alexander Cockburn reminded us of the news Israel Shamir and Paul Bennett broke at Counterpunch in September. Julian Assange’s chief accuser in Sweden has a significant history of work with anti-Castro groups, at least one of which is US funded and openly supported by a former CIA agent convicted in the mass murder of seventy three Cubans on an airliner he was involved in blowing up.
    Anna Ardin (the official complainant) is often described by the media as a “leftist”. She has (…)

    U.S. intelligence retaliates against Israel’s role in Wikileaks’s disclosures
    By Wayne Madsen
    With Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, continuing their gloating over the disclosure by Wikileaks of classified U.S. State Department cables, the U.S. intelligence community is taking off its gloves and is releasing some embarrassing information about Netanyahu and a Mossad attempt to use (…)

    A JAZZMAN CHRONICLE BY JACK RANDOM. DISSEMINATE FREELY.
    As a novelist with a penchant for political mystery and suspense, I am familiar with the standard plot twist of the endangered protagonist: If only she can get the information out into the public, she’ll be safe. The men in black can’t touch her then and the world will have to grapple with the truth.
    As the plot thickens in the strange case of Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks and the man behind the latest uncovering of (…)

  • WHY IS JULIAN ASSANGE PICKING ON THE UNITED STATES? - A BRITISH THINK-TANK HACK DEMONSTRATES HE IS AS VAP
    5 December 2010 par (Open-Publishing)

    POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN BY GEORGE GRANT IN THE TELEGRAPH
    "Why is Julian Assange picking on the United States?"
    Had I known what is written at the bottom of the piece - that George Grant is Global Security & Terrorism Director at The Henry Jackson Society, a Foreign Policy Think Tank based in London - I would have read George Grant’s words with less sense of perplexity about the man not knowing what he is talking about.
    For clearly, he does not.
    But in the United States where (…)

  • WIKILEAKS LEGITIMACY CANNOT BE TESTED BUT THE LEGITIMACY OF THE LEAKS CAN
    5 December 2010 par (Open-Publishing)

    We have no way to determine whether WikiLeaks itself is genuine.
    But we do have enough information in the nature of the leaks to reach some tentative conclusions.
    The leaked material is almost certainly all genuine.
    But it is highly selective, a crucial fact.
    There is nothing terrible about America and its wars abroad, and any clear-thinking person knows perfectly well there are terrible tales to tell about wars abroad. That is the history of wars.
    There is no dirt on Israel or (…)

  • Real WikiLeaks Scandal: Mainstream reports secret US documents but not 90 million dead from US occupation

    1 comment

    WikiLeaks has been closed down world-wide and its heroic founder Julian Assange is facing arrest. Yet the WikiLeaks saga obscures an even more appalling reality that Mainstream media, politicians and academics are remorselessly lying about past and present genocidal realities from the Iraqi, Palestinjan, Tamil and Afghan Genocides to the worsening Global Avoidable Mortality Holocaust and looming Climate Genocide that is set to kill 10 billion people this century.
    The New Statesman has (…)

    Mister President,
    Last October 8th, on the occasion of the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to Lui Xiaobo, from China, you declared – “Fundamental human rights must be respected for every man, woman and child”.
