De
Britse vertegenwoordiging bij de VN heeft een enorme bok geschoten
met een Twitterbericht waarin wordt gewezen op het belang van een
vrije en onafhankelijke nieuwsgaring……
Daar
is in Groot-Brittannië al lang geen sprake meer van, zo volgt de
BBC, NB een onafhankelijke zendgemachtigde, braaf het Britse
buitenlandbeleid en brengt voor het overgrote deel berichten die
‘geheel toevallig’ dit beleid steunen en verdedigen…….. De BBC is
dan ook niet vrij, dit daar deze zendgemachtigde afhankelijk
is van de subsidie verstrekker….. de Britse overheid!
Niet
vreemd dus dat Assange volkomen terecht opmerkt dat de Britse
regering vooral wil voorkomen dat de vrije en onafhankelijke
nieuwsgaring op de sociale media de waarheid vertellen. Overigens is dit in de hele westerse wereld aan
de hand, vandaar ook de hysterische pleidooien en berichtgeving
tegen ‘fake news’ (nepnieuws), daar juist op de sociale media echt onafhankelijke
en vrije nieuwsgaring is te vinden, berichtgeving die lijnrecht
ingaat tegen de leugens die westerse reguliere (massa-) media en het
grootste deel van de westerse politici ons dag in dag uit
voorkauwen….
Uiteraard
is Wikileaks de grote doorn in de handen van de voornoemde media en
politici, daar op die website een enorm aantal leugens worden
doorgeprikt, leugens die ons eerder keer op keer werden
voorgeschoteld als de enige waarheid (en dat op een manier die je hersenspoeling zou kunnen noemen…)……..

Lashes Out: “Hypocritical Motherf*ckers… Remember How I
Exposed Your Secret Deal With The Saudis”

Wikileaks
founder Julian Assange lashed out at the UK government over Twitter
on Friday after Britain’s official UN account (UK Mission to the
United Nations) tweeted “A free and independent media fulfils a
vital role in holding the powerful to account and giving a voice to
the powerless,” with a link to a puff
piece waxing
eloquent over the UK’s commitment to free speech.
Assange
– apparently not included in the UK’s definition of “free and
independent media” (facing arrest and detention should
he leave the Embassy), fired off a stunning reply – claiming
that the UK’s has spent roughly twice as much spying on him as it has
on their entire international human rights program.
And
that is exactly why you have detained me without charge for eight
years in violation of two UN rulings and spent over 20 million pounds
spying on me you hypocritical mother fuckers. Your entire
international human rights programme is £10.6m you pathetic frauds.”
Assange
then followed up with “Remember
how I exposed your secret deal to put Saudi Arabia on the Human
Rights Council?” referring
to a 2015 vote-trading deal in which the UK approached Saudi
Arabia in secret, promising it a seat on the UN Human Rights Council
in exchange for council support.
Assange,
46, remains confined in the Ecuadorian embassy in London
following a failed
appeal of
his arrest warrant for skipping bail to enter the embassy in 2012 to
avoid extradition to Sweden over allegations of sexual assault (which
Sweden has dropped).
The
UN, meanwhile, has twice ruled that Assange’s detention is unlawful.
Despite this, the judge in his most recent appeal – Emma
Arbuthnot, who said “I find arrest is a proportionate response
even though Mr Assange has restricted his own freedom for a number of
years.”
Judge Arbuthnot’s
impartiality in the Assange matter has been called into
question, while her husband and ex-Conservative MP, Baron
James Arbuthnot,
is listed as the director of a security company along with the
former head of MI6. Not exactly friends of WikiLeaks.
Moreover,
a February report from the Guardian reveals
that Sweden wanted to drop their case against Assange as early
as 2013, but
was pressured by the UK to maintain it.
The
newly-released emails show that the Swedish authorities were eager to
give up the case four years before they formally abandoned
proceedings in 2017 and that the CPS dissuaded them from doing so.
The
CPS lawyer handling the case, who has since retired, commented on an
article which suggested that Sweden could drop the case in August
2012. He wrote: “Don’t
you dare get cold feet!!!”.

Assange
Drops Bombs
In
yet another angry tweet by the WikiLeaks founder, Assange replied to
a two-week old comment by former Eric Holder – blaming the
former Attorney General for putting him in the position to release
emails from the DNC, Hillary Clinton and John Podesta during the 2016
US election.
Ostensibly
getting ahead of the upcoming midterm elections in November, Holder
tweeted “Russian threat to our upcoming elections: do
something!” Holder then called for sanctions, ending the tweet
with “We
were attacked!”
Assange
replied: “Attacked? By what? The truth? It’s entirely your
own fault, Eric. Thanks
to your unconstitutional grand jury against @WikiLeaks you left me
with nothing to do but work 24/7, in harsh conditions, for
years–and I’m good, very good, at my job.”
It’s entirely your own fault, Eric. Thanks to your unconstitutional grand jury against @ you left me with nothing to do but work 24/7, in harsh conditions, for years–and I’m good, very good, at my job.
Holder,
who was President Obama’s Attorney General, attempted to prosecute
WikiLeaks and Assange personally over the publication of military
documents and US diplomatic cables regarding Iraq and Afghanistan.
“Russia-theorists”
– particularly neoconservatives and hawkish Democrats, have
maintained that WikiLeaks is a “cutout” for Russian to
engage in information warfare, and blame Moscow for the theft
and publication of the leaked emails.
Assange
added to his response to Holder, tweeting “Next time, not that
there will be one, try following the constitution you swore to
uphold,” with a link to a 2014 article calling for Holder to
drop the investigation against WikiLeaks or resign.
