arrest . He could soon face
extradition , face An American
kangaroo court .

(**)>>Julian Assange was arrested . It is a SAD day for to all Americans and journalists. Assange is one of the greatest 'whistleblowers ' of all time .to quote Edward Snowden's tweet about this it's a dark moment for freedom of press right now . In a dramatic turn of events, he was then also charged by US government prosecutors with conspiring with American whistleblower (#)>>Chelsea Manning to break the password of a classified government computer in 2010. Assange participated in the hacking in 'real-time' and encouraged the act, which led to one of the largest leaks of classified information in US history, according to a statement. The US department of justice confirmed he has been charged with computer crimes, which if he is found guilty of could result in a five-year jail term. Addressing Assange at today's court hearing, District Judge Michael Snow told him to 'get over to the US' and 'get on with your life'. While he awaits sentencing for jumping bail, Assange, 47, also faces a court hearing on May 2 relating to his possible extradition to the US to contest the hacking charges.  The idea that the hypothetical of how our government works and now's the time to demand they be accountable and not prosecute a publisher a journalist who has been nominated for multiple Nobel Prizes who the UN said was being arbitrarily and illegally detained that's a UN panel okay that's the highest level of report that the UN can give on imprisonment and detention ? , this is not just me saying this anyway.  Julian Assange is facing up to 12 months in a British prison after he was found guilty of skipping bail to avoid being extradited to Sweden in 2012 to face allegations of rape and sexual assault.The Wikileaks founder finally appeared in court today after he was sensationally expelled from the (1)>>Ecuadorian embassy in London, where he has been claiming political refuge for the past seven years. A judge branded Assange's defence 'laughable' and his behaviour that of a 'narcissist who cannot get beyond his own selfish interests' after he pleaded not guilty to breaching his bail conditions, claiming he did so because he could never expect a fair trial in the UK. Ecuador's decision to revoke his political asylum this morning saw a diplomatic falling of dominoes, with seven British police officers entering the embassy at 10am before restraining him as he tried to flee to his private room.  Over at Fox News, Judge Andrew Napolitano openly hailed the Wikileaks founder a "hero" for using his organization to publish information the "world had the right to see.""I have to tell you, in my opinion, Julian Assange is a hero," said Napolitano on "Fox & Friends." "What he published was truthful information that the American public and the world had the right to see."Napolitano said that Assange will likely have a "show trial" if brought to the United States. Undoubtedly, he will be asked how he obtained emails from the Hillary Clinton campaign, though Napolitano believes Assange will simply say: "'I'm not going to tell you how I got Hillary Clinton's emails, but I got them and we published them.'"​

Trump , Hillary and Wikileaks

In 2010, Trump casually mentioned to Fox News anchor Brian Kilmeade that Assange should get the death penalty for (2)>>leaking sensitive US government documents he received from then-US Army Pvt. Chelsea Manning.And six years later, during the height of the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump praised WikiLeaks’s consistent releases of emails related to his opponent, Hillary Clinton. “WikiLeaks, I love WikiLeaks!” Trump professed during a speech on October 10.As ThinkProgress has documented, in the final month before the 2016 presidential election, Trump mentioned WikiLeaks and the hacked emails it published at least 164 times during speeches, media appearances, and debates.  There is a STRANGE CASE in regards to how Assange - Wikileaks  seems to be connected to the FBI "leaks" before and during the 2016 election , while the focus has been the Russians . It seems most likely that the Leaks was an inside job. The "election rigging' on both US parties was also an inside job .  Wikileaks could have helped expose this , but rather than sideing with the Republican Trump machine via FBI to sabotage Hillary's credibility to the American public .  Wikileaks  should have been on the side of truth on this.   Nearly 9,000 of those documents were posted  by WikiLeaks, providing a detailed look at the Central Intelligence Agency's efforts to capture conversations, encrypted communications and online browsing data by hacking into smartphones, computers and even televisions. Roger Stone, a former Trump campaign adviser, sought “damaging” information about Democratic candidate (3)>>Hillary Clinton from Julian Assange during the 2016 campaign, according to emails reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. In a September 2016 email, Stone “urged” his acquaintance Randy Credico—a radio personality who had interviewed Assange—to ask the WikiLeaks founder “for emails related to Mrs. Clinton’s alleged role in disrupting a purported Libyan peace deal in 2011,” the newspaper reported. “Please ask Assange for any State or HRC e-mail from August 10 to August 30--particularly on August 20, 2011,” Stone wrote. The depth of Stone’s relationship with WikiLeaks and Julian Assange has been closely scrutinized by congressional investigators examining whether Trump associates coordinated with Russia—or anyone serving as a cut-out for Moscow—to damage Hillary Clinton’s candidacy. Which the MUeller Report was inconclusive that there was any "collusion" . Now that Assange is cuffed , it is possible that he will be taken to the United States  And now that Assange is in deep trouble — and may even be extradited to the US to face criminal charges  that should not be right , he may end up a victim of a government cover up .— the president has repeated a similar mantra. Trump replied, “I don’t know anything about him. Really, I don’t know much about him, I really don’t.”

NOTES AND COMMENTS: 

(**)>>Julian Assange .  Exposing Ilegal government activities. The illegal shootings in Iraq. The Bush administration. The Clinton admin istration. He is exposing the truth and has been locked up in the UK for it under Ecuadorian protection at the embassy. People deserve to know what their government is doing. Yes he is a hero   Once again the U. S. Has covertly collaberated via the media cabal to arrest someone who dare expose their world control. . Well done U. K u only reinforce the fact that the whole world is sick of their (U. S. ) underhanded runbish. They of course date not try and follow through on charges of their own. As it would expose the U. S. Via wiki evidence the extent of their 100 year world wide extensive criminal behaviour. .(#)>>Chelsea Manning . In 2010, "Assange agreed to assist Manning in cracking a password stored on United States Department of Defense computers," the indictment charges. Manning allegedly provided Assange with the hash of a password and asked Assange to crack it.The indictment says that the hashed password was only available to those with administrative privileges, which Manning didn't have. However, she "used special software, namely a Linux operating system, to access the computer file and obtain the portion of the password provided to Assange."The government says that the password would have allowed Manning to log in to computers as an administrative user, making it easier for her to cover her tracks as she downloaded additional sensitive documents.However, it seems that Assange never succeeded in cracking the password. "On or about March 10, 2010, Assange requested more information from Manning related to the password," the indictment states. "Assange indicated that he had been trying to crack the password by stating that he had 'no luck so far.'"  (1)>>Ecuadorian embassy in London.  The UK government has been seeking Assange's arrest for years, but it had been stymied by Ecuador, which shielded him from arrest by allowing him to stay in its London embassy.Ecuador first offered asylum to Assange under former President Rafael Correa, an ally of former Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez, who relished taking a confrontational stance toward the United States. But Correa's successor, Lenín Moreno, has taken a more conciliatory stance toward the US. Last year, Moreno's government presented Assange with a new, stricter set of conditions for his continued stay at the embassy. Assange was asked to do a better job cleaning the bathroom and other spaces inside the embassy. He was also asked to do a better job cleaning up after his pet cat—and warned that otherwise Assange would be asked to "deliver the pet to another person or an animal shelter" outside the embassy. (2)>>leaking sensitive US government documents . The thousands of leaked documents focus mainly on techniques for hacking and reveal how the CIA cooperated with British intelligence to engineer a way to compromise smart televisions and turn them into improvised surveillance devices.The leak, named “Vault 7” by WikiLeaks, will once again raise questions about the inability of US spy agencies to protect secret documents in the digital age. The document dealing with Samsung televisions carries the CIA logo and is described as secret. It adds “USA/UK”. It says: “Accomplishments during joint workshop with MI5/BTSS (British Security Service) (week of June 16, 2014).”(3)>>Hillary Clinton . Diplomatic cables released by Wikileaks show that  former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton ordered U.S. diplomats, the CIA, and the FBI to spy on highest echelons of UN officialdom, including Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon and World Health Organization, the Guardian reports. The U.S. event wanted biometric information of UN officials including DNA and iris scans. While most in the media continue to focus on a meeting that all parties involved say resulted in no damaging material against Hillary Clinton, there’s little attention being paid to the fact that Hillary’s supporters were able to successfully use a foreign intelligence agent to disseminate false information to the mainstream American press. The phony information allegedly came from inside the Kremlin and sought to damage then-candidate Donald Trump. The Reality of the collusion between the Justice Department, the FBI, the Clinton campaign and, possibly, the Obama administration, to plant a spy in the Trump campaign could have been more real .In a series of tweets posted in the early morning hours of 4 March 2017, President Donald Trump accused former president Barack Obama of having “wire tapped” phones at his Trump Tower headquarters in October 2016, just weeks before that year’s presidential election.
