CIA topgraaier Pompeo, gaf in zijn eerste openbare toespraak Wikileaks (en daarmee Assange) onderuit de zak. Wikileaks zou een vijandige niet-staatsgebonden inlichtingenorganisatie zijn….. Dit terwijl Wikileaks tezelfdertijd de Vault 7 documenten betreffende de smerige zaken van de CIA naar buiten bracht, Documenten waaruit juist blijkt, dat de CIA een uiterst agressieve organisatie is, die onder en boven de wet staat en met haar arsenaal aan cyberoorlog middelen voor elk land (bedrijf of zelfs persoon) op aarde een gevaar is (zoals de geschiedenis van de CIA uit en te na heeft bewezen)……

CNN berichtte uit ‘betrouwbare bron’ dat procureur-generaal van het departement van justitie, Jeff Sessions, bezig is uit te zoeken, hoe Assange te arresteren……..

Wat betreft Pompeo en zijn CIA is het wel duidelijk dat ze de oorlog hebben verklaard aan klokkenluiders en sites als Wikileaks, dit is dan ook het uitgangspunt voor de reactie die Assange gaf op het e.e.a.

Volgens Assange heeft de bevolking van de VS het grondwettelijk recht op openheid en transparantie wat betreft het opereren van haar overheid, met zijn reactie hoopt Assange daarvoor de ogen te openen bij deze bevolking.

Terecht stelde Assange, dat Pompeo de VS vergelijkt met een dictatuur, doordat hij stelde dat Wikileaks wel de VS aanvalt, maar niet dictaturen waar de vrijheid van meningsuiting niet bestaat, terwijl Pompeo nu juist die vrijheid van meningsuiting wil aanpakken…… ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! Nogmaals: de VS bevolking heeft zelfs het grondwettelijk recht te weten, hoe haar regering te werk gaat……. Assange zei bovendien dat Pompeo met een kulargument komt, daar Wikileaks wel degelijk hele dossiers heeft gepubliceerd over buitenlandse machthebbers…..

Assange spreekt over de ‘Pompeo doctrine’, waarmee hij de bedoeling van Pompeo en zijn CIA noemt: het aanpakken van onafhankelijke onderzoeksjournalistiek en mensenrechtenorganisaties, die hij precies als Wikileaks het zwijgen wil opleggen…….

Assange Responds To U.S. Calls For Arrest

Julian Assange Responds To U.S. Calls For Arrest

(MPN) In
his first speech as CIA Director, Mike Pompeo delivered a strong
invective against the pro-transparency organization
WikiLeaks, accusing
the group of
acting as a “non-state hostile intelligence service.” The
aggressive rhetoric came amid Wikileaks’ latest
series of releases,
known as “Vault
7,”
which detail how the CIA has lost control of its cyber-warfare
arsenal, as well as outline the agency’s attempts to infect
consumer technology products with spyware.

While
Pompeo’s statements regarding WikiLeaks have made headlines since
he took the CIA position, much has happened in the two weeks since
his remarks. Within a week, CNN – citing anonymous “intelligence
community” sources – announced that the Justice Department, led
by Attorney General Jeff Sessions, was seeking
the arrest of
Wikileaks editor Julian Assange. According to the report, the
department had found a way to legally charge Assange for the
publishing of classified information.

Sessions
all but confirmed the CNN report soon after stating that arresting
Assange was a “priority.” Trump,
who only six months ago stated
his “love” for WikiLeaks during
a campaign speech, told
the Associated Press a
day later that arresting Assange is “OK with me.”

Assange
had yet to fully respond to the charges until just recently,
responding to the Trump administration’s stance on WikiLeaks only
in tweets. But on Tuesday, Assange gave voice to his position on the
increasing aggressiveness of the Trump administration in a
full-length op-ed for
the Washington
Post titled
“The CIA director is waging war on truth-tellers like WikiLeaks.”

With
his editorial, Assange seeks to remind American citizens that they
have a constitutional right to receive honest information about their
government – information that is provided by WikiLeaks and hidden
by government authorities. Assange notes that such attempts to keep
the public in the dark are similar to “attempts throughout history
by bureaucrats seeking, and failing, to criminalize speech that
reveals their own failings.”

Assange
paid particular attention to Pompeo’s assertions that WikiLeaks is
“hostile” for focusing on the “democratic” United States as
opposed to “autocratic regimes in this world that actually suppress
free speech and dissent.” Assange noted that this statement was
quite ironic, comparing the U.S. to autocratic regimes that stifle
free speech.

“In
fact, Pompeo finds himself in the unsavory company of Recep Tayyip
Erdogan of Turkey (257,934 documents published by WikiLeaks); Bashar
al-Assad of Syria (2.3 million documents); and the dictatorship in
Saudi Arabia (122,609 documents),” Assange wrote.

The
greatest warning within Assange’s editorial, however, focuses on
the “Pompeo doctrine” laid out in the CIA director’s speech, a
doctrine that “ensnares all serious news and investigative human
rights organizations,” as these groups, like WikiLeaks, seek to
expose government wrongdoing and incompetence. Assange concluded “the
world cannot afford, and the Constitution does not permit, a muzzle
placed on the work that transparency organizations do to inform the
American and global public.”

Assange’s
editorial largely focused on Pompeo’s speech, skimming over the
recent statements by Attorney General Sessions and President Trump.
But Session’s
comments reveal
that leaks of classified information in general are not necessarily
as problematic as leaks published specifically by WikiLeaks.

“We
are going to step up our effort and already are stepping up our
efforts on all leaks,” Sessions said at a news conference last
Thursday. “This is a matter that’s gone beyond anything I’m
aware of. We have professionals that have been in the security
business of the United States for many years that are shocked by the
number of leaks and some of them are quite serious,” he added.

However,
many of these “unprecedented” leaks that have taken place since
the Trump administration came to power were given not to WikiLeaks,
but to the Washington
Post and
the New
York Times,
organizations that have not been targeted for legal action by
Sessions.

The
leaks published
by the Post and
the Times resulted
in major controversy for the Trump administration and cost former
National Security advisor Michael Flynn his job while also putting
Sessions himself in the crosshairs. WikiLeaks’ “Vault 7”
releases, which have exposed negligence and wrong-doing on the part
of the CIA, are the only releases they’ve provided this year that
have explicitly targeted the U.S. government. But they are the only
organization that has come under threat.

Perhaps
what Sessions meant to say last Thursday was that the Justice
Department is stepping up its efforts to contain leaks published by
WikiLeaks. Leaks published by other media outlets, like the
CIA-connected Washington
Post,
are apparently not worth their time
