The CIA had plans to kidnap and assassinate me inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London. They authorized targeting my European colleagues, subjecting us to theft, hacking, and misinformation. My wife and infant son were also targeted, with a CIA asset assigned to track my wife and instructions to obtain my son's DNA. I was convicted by a foreign power for requesting, receiving, and publishing truthful information while in Europe. Criminalizing news gathering threatens investigative journalism. Journalists shouldn't be prosecuted for doing their jobs; journalism is not a crime but a pillar of a free society.

Julian Assange, a journalist, should not be extradited to the US for publishing classified documents leaked by Chelsea Manning. Governments hide actions, but journalists expose them for public scrutiny. Punishing Assange would undermine press freedom. Leaks are necessary for holding governments accountable. Assange's actions did not harm anyone, and he has already suffered greatly. Extraditing him would be excessive. The British high court should not send him to the US.

Julian Assange, a journalist and founder of WikiLeaks, has faced backlash from the media and governments for exposing concealed information. He published secret documents, including a video showing a US military attack on civilians in Iraq, contradicting the government's claims. Assange also leaked internal emails from the Democratic Party, revealing the rigging of the 2016 Democratic primary. As a result, he has been charged with fake crimes, imprisoned in the Ecuadorian embassy, and currently held in solitary confinement in the UK. The US government aims to extradite him under the espionage act, despite lacking evidence. This treatment highlights the immoral and grotesque actions taken to silence Assange.

Speaker 0 argues that Snowden, if he comes to the United States, should receive due process and be punished severely, stating he hopes he gets at least 176 years in jail for what he did. He asserts that crimes like espionage harm the security and safety of innocent American civilians and deserves the strictest punishment. He states his view that Snowden committed treason, ought to be convicted of that, and ought to swing from a tall oak tree.

Speaker 1 asks if he thinks Snowden should be killed, and Speaker 0 confirms: Yes.

My name is John Meersheimer, a University of Chicago professor of international relations. I urge the British high court not to extradite Julian Assange to the US. Assange, a journalist, published leaked classified documents from Chelsea Manning. Journalists often publish such information to hold governments accountable. Punishing Assange would hinder press freedom. His actions did not harm anyone, and he has already suffered greatly. Extraditing him would be excessive. I believe keeping him free is the right choice. Thank you.

The speaker discusses the role of media corporations in hiding important information and punishing whistleblowers. They argue that true journalists should celebrate those who expose government lies, but instead, media corporations collaborate with the government to keep secrets and punish leakers. The speaker questions how journalists can hide the fact that the US is in a direct hot war with Russia, suggesting that their loyalty lies more with the government than with the American people. They emphasize the importance of defending truth tellers and not abetting lies in a country built on falsehoods.

Juliana Sanj questions why people are not put in prison unless there is a valid reason. She highlights that Julian Assange has never been accused of lying or fraud, but rather of telling the truth. She expresses concern over the torture he is facing without any intervention. Juliana criticizes Mike Pompeo, calling him a sinister person and stating that he tried to have Assange murdered. She questions why Pompeo is not in prison despite these allegations.

The speaker emphasized the dangers of Julian Assange's actions, highlighting how WikiLeaks' publication of unredacted State Department documents put lives at risk and hindered diplomatic relationships. They mentioned the State Department's efforts to protect individuals named in the documents but couldn't confirm specific harm. The discussion also touched on Assange's potential entry into the US and the judge's ruling on victims. The State Department's challenges in maintaining trust due to leaked information were noted, with concerns raised by foreign counterparts. The conversation concluded with a reference to private conversations and concerns raised by foreign leaders like Berlusconi.

Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, faces extradition to the US for publishing classified documents revealing truths about the Iraq and Afghan wars. He has been imprisoned in the UK for over three years without a conviction, with the US seeking a 175-year sentence under the Espionage Act. His publications, including the infamous "collateral murder" video, exposed high civilian death tolls and military misconduct. Assange's case raises significant concerns about press freedom, as it sets a dangerous precedent for journalists. His supporters argue that the government is punishing him for revealing uncomfortable truths, while Assange's health deteriorates in prison. The implications of his prosecution could drastically alter how national security journalism is conducted, limiting access to vital information for the public.

The speaker, who identifies as a liberal, shares their visit to a prison and seeing Julian Assange in London. They express their belief that people should only be imprisoned for valid reasons and highlight that Assange has been accused of telling the truth, not of fraud or criminal activities. They accuse Mike Pompeo, the former CIA director, of attempting to have Assange murdered, which Pompeo did not deny. The speaker questions why Pompeo is not in prison and criticizes those who falsely accused Assange of rape. They express disappointment in Trump for not pardoning Assange and criticize Pompeo for being a liar and flatterer.

Julian Assange has been imprisoned for over a decade, largely due to opposition from the U.S. government. He remains in Belmarsh prison without being charged with a crime in the UK. Assange believes his imprisonment stems from WikiLeaks' publication of sensitive U.S. government documents, particularly regarding CIA surveillance. His wife, Stella, updates on his imminent extradition hearing, emphasizing the high stakes involved. She criticizes the UK's complicity in his detention, likening it to actions taken by authoritarian regimes. Stella expresses concern for Julian's deteriorating health and calls for any U.S. president to consider a pardon, arguing that his case threatens press freedom and constitutional protections. Despite the challenges, she highlights the growing support for Julian and the implications of his situation for journalism.

The CIA developed plans to kidnap and assassinate me inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London. They authorized targeting my European colleagues with theft, hacking, and disinformation. My wife and infant son were also targeted, with a CIA asset assigned to track my wife and instructions to obtain DNA from my six-month-old son's nappy. I was convicted by a foreign power for requesting, receiving, and publishing truthful information about that power while in Europe. The criminalization of news gathering threatens investigative journalism everywhere. Journalists shouldn't be prosecuted for doing their jobs because journalism is not a crime; it's essential for a free and informed society.

Julian Assange, a journalist, should not be extradited to the US for publishing classified documents leaked by Chelsea Manning. Governments hide actions from public view, so journalists play a crucial role in exposing misguided policies. Assange, like the New York Times with the Pentagon Papers, serves the public interest. No harm resulted from his leaks, and he has already suffered greatly. Extraditing him would be excessive punishment. The British high court should set him free.

Julian Assange, a journalist and founder of WikiLeaks, has faced backlash from the media and governments for exposing concealed information. He published secret documents, including a video showing the killing of civilians in Iraq by US forces, contradicting the government's claims. Assange also leaked internal emails from the Democratic Party, revealing the rigging of the 2016 Democratic primary. As a result, he has been charged with fake sex crimes and imprisoned in the Ecuadorian embassy in London for over 7 years. In 2017, WikiLeaks exposed an illegal CIA spying program, leading CIA director Mike Pompeo to discuss kidnapping or poisoning Assange. Despite not being charged with a crime in the US, Assange remains imprisoned in the UK and faces extradition.

The speaker emphasizes that Trump had the authority to declassify documents as the president of the United States. They argue that the elected president should have control over government documents, not unelected bureaucrats. They mention that Trump's actions of taking the documents to Mar-a-Lago were within his rights as president. They believe that this is not a frivolous legal argument, but rather a reflection of Article 2 of the U.S. Constitution. They assert that if Article 2 does not apply in this situation, then the entire constitution becomes meaningless.

Speaker discusses Trump’s stance on JFK assassination files, saying Trump claimed that if you knew what I know, you wouldn’t tell people either, and notes that this is his position on UAP as well. He asserts that the CIA had knowledge of the JFK matter and that the conspiracy industry around JFK is an industry with many wackos, but emphasizes that the facts themselves tell an unbelievable story. He mentions that documents are still classified sixty-one years later and argues that both Trump and Joe Biden have kept those documents secret in violation of his reading of federal law. He states there is no living person connected to the Kennedy assassination, only an institution or possibly countries involved, and indicates there may be something worth protecting. He relays a conversation with someone who had seen the documents two years earlier, from whom he learned that yes, the CIA was involved, and notes James Jesus Angleton, head of the operations directorate, had knowledge of this. He says this was news to him and he discussed it on TV. The next day, while quail hunting, he received a phone call from Mike Pompeo’s lawyer, who, as then-CIA director and later Secretary of State, had plotted the murder of Julian Assange. The lawyer told him that anyone who reveals contents of classified documents has committed a crime, and the speaker recalls driving with his dog and asks if revealing that the U.S. government had a role in the murder of a democratically elected president constitutes the crime, while suggesting Pompeo is protecting the murder. The speaker says Pompeo had no response. The speaker asserts Pompeo pressed Trump to keep the documents secret and calls Pompeo sinister and criminal, citing that Pompeo was caught—referencing Yahoo News, Mike Issachoff’s piece—where Issachoff’s sources claimed Pompeo was plotting to murder Julian Assange, who had not been charged in the U.S. as CIA director. He states federal employees are not allowed to kill people they don’t like. He contends Pompeo pressured Trump to withhold information the public has a right to know and that Pompeo plotted the murder of someone who committed no crime. Finally, the speaker questions how Pompeo is treated in Republican Washington, noting he is treated as a respected figure and potential secretary of defense in a Trump administration, despite being described as criminal for keeping information secret and for plotting a murder. He finds it mind-bending that Pompeo is treated as a pillar of Republican Washington.

Julian Assange, a controversial figure, exposed government secrets through WikiLeaks, angering powerful entities. He faced legal troubles, including false rape charges, and is currently imprisoned in the UK. Despite not being charged in the US, he faces extradition under the Espionage Act. The treatment he receives is seen as a form of torture to silence him.

Speaker 0: The speaker alleges a cover-up by people including Bill Barr and Mike Pompeo. Bill Barr, described by Jeffrey Epstein as “CIA,” allegedly covered up Epstein’s murder in federal detention, with Barr saying publicly, “we gotta make sure everyone thinks this is a suicide.” The speaker asks why Barr isn’t being questioned about this. Mike Pompeo is accused of plotting to murder Julian Assange, head of WikiLeaks. The speaker notes that WikiLeaks released the first tranche of emails to the public, and that Assange suggested on Dutch TV that his source was Seth Rich, a DNC staffer who was found murdered in Washington in what was described as a robbery where nothing was taken. Assange hinted in the interview that his sources faced great risks, mentioning Seth Rich; the interviewer pressed whether Rich was murdered for the leaks, and Assange said he couldn’t reveal sources but that they faced risks. Shortly after, Assange was incarcerated, first in an embassy in London and then in Belmarsh Prison, without criminal charges, actions the speaker attributes to the CIA and Mike Pompeo. The speaker contends that someone should ask Pompeo about this. Speaker 1: The speaker expresses anger at what they see as broad, systemic cover-ups versus ordinary Americans facing jail for minor offenses. They reference Pizzagate and Epstein, asserting that cover-ups extend across other issues, including Benghazi and Hillary Clinton material, which they claim were never properly pursued with the appropriate parties. They point to a long list of alleged co-conspirators connected to the Epstein matter, including those revealed in a recent document drop and corroborated subsequently. The list reportedly includes ten co-conspirators: one named Leslie Wexner, pilots (three identified by name), and others such as Ghislain Maxwell and various assistants who recruited girls, as well as individuals trafficking models. The speaker asserts there were many people around Epstein who were deeply involved and deserve serious questioning. They also reference Ehud Barak as among those connected to the network. Overall: The conversation presents multiple allegations of high-level complicity and cover-ups involving Bill Barr, Mike Pompeo, Julian Assange, Seth Rich, and a broad network around Jeffrey Epstein, including named and unnamed individuals, with claims of documented co-conspirators and ongoing questions about accountability.

Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, is facing extradition to the US and potentially 175 years in prison for publishing classified documents exposing US war crimes. The case has raised concerns about press freedom and the treatment of whistleblowers. Assange has been subjected to illegal surveillance, mistreatment, and a lack of access to his lawyers. The extradition proceedings have been marred by irregularities, including conflicts of interest and a biased judiciary. The US government's relentless pursuit of Assange is seen as an attack on journalism and the public's right to know. The case has far-reaching implications for freedom of speech and the ability of journalists to hold the powerful accountable.

Assange has been held in a UK prison without being charged with a crime. The US government wants to indict him, and the British government agreed to keep him in isolation until it's resolved. Before being charged in the US, the CIA director, Mike Pompeo, discussed assassinating Assange. This raises concerns about federal appointees using taxpayer money to murder someone who embarrassed them. Pompeo, however, remains free and even visits donors. It's disturbing that our government would use our money to kill someone who exposed their crimes, and no one seems to have a problem with it. This led the speaker to visit Assange, which turned out to be worse than expected.

The speaker criticizes the focus on journalism while Julian Assange remains in prison and Ukraine engages in actions similar to what Russia is accused of. They express concern about the US turning fascist, mention the invasion of Iraq based on lies, and highlight the lack of attention given to these issues. They argue that China and Russia are making progress in international relations while the US has nothing to offer. The speaker questions the absence of Seymour Hersh and raises concerns about the Nord Stream and the banning of Russian media. They accuse the journalists present of not producing anything revolutionary and express frustration at the lack of answers to their questions.
