Julian Assange Arrested on U.S. Extradition Warrant, London Police Say

[phill4paul]

Probably had nothing to do with Wikileaks putting out personal photos and information on Ecuador's leader. Demand free food, room and board, and internet and then go after your host who is paying for all of that.

Couldn't have been anyone else. Only Assange is capable of that.

"Moreno provided no evidence,"

Assange’s defense team suggested on Twitter that Moreno was trying to use the scandal to pressure the WikiLeaks founder.

Do you even read the articles you post?

Curious how they have this bombshell evidence, chats from a phone app in 2010. But they have no idea how Wikileaks got the DNC emails in 2016, iirc they've only said in testimony, it must have been through some intermediary of the Russian GRU guys.

Tulsi Gabbard: The purpose of arresting Julian Assange is to send a message to the people, especially journalists, to be quiet and don’t get out of line. If we, the people, allow the government to control us through fear, we are no longer free, we are no longer America.

He is charged with "conspiracy to commit computer intrusion", specifically helping manning crack a password; not anything to do with releasing news or being an agent of the press. IF he really did help manning hack into the computers, then he should get time.

It is hard to imagine there are foolish idiots that are still so gullible , even after decades fo lie after lie after lie. Sure it has nothing to do with Wikileaks serving up two decades of TRUTH exposing heinous crimes committed by the empire.

Looks like Somebody has been drinking special koolaid, and willingly swallowing the raw sewage from the MSM, and deep state.
The charges are a complete pretext. You would have to be a complete moron or a willing filling victim of deep state stockholm syndrome to swallow the the latest lies from the empire's deep state machine of perpetual lies. Gullible MSM idiots.,

Show me the evidence that Assange "hacked" anything - there is none. and "specifically helping manning crack a password" - what password? how? show me? specsareus is just repeating neocon talking points.


But of course the the course the Washington train of perpetual lies never needs evidence. They just need an accusation and MSM mouthpieces to push it. Innuendo and accusations and force to back it up.
Russia collusion, Iraq WMDs, we are entering Afghanistan solely to arrest Osama Bin Laden and nothing more, Iraq will be a cakewalk and well be out in a year, Assad is gassing his own people, ...
But hey, tell me more, because there are some gullible willing idiots that will willing swallow the next piece of deceptive raw sewage pumped out from the empire of perpetual lies.

This arrest is BS. The deep state goons have been targeting assange and wikileaks since it first started revealing the lies by the Bush admin - years before Manning ever revealed the blatant murders being committed by empire forces.


This is pure vengeance. Truth is their enemy that they wish to exterminate. This is payback for exposing that Hillary and Wasserman-Schultz and the DNC rigged the primary against Bernie Sanders. This is payback for exposing the Russiagate hoax. This is revenge for exposing Hillary's emailgate crimes. This is retribution for exposing Hillary's Clinton Foundation charity slush fund scam, and the emails of Hillary and Podesta and the cable leaks. This is payback for exposing the crimes committed under the Obama administration. This is payback for exposing the Bush crimes. this is payback for exposing the CIA and NSA spying and law-breaking. This is payback for exposing the deep state lies. This is crucification for standing up for truth, educating and informing the public , for shining the light of day on corruption.

Sure there is nothing political, just like there was nothing political about going after Manafort or Flynn or Papadopoulos or the rest of the Trump campaign for all there collusion. - Oh that right, turns out there was never any collusion, but they were able to destroy the lives of the targets anyway.

If the regime had any iota of actually punishing wrongdoers then Gina Haspel would be behind bars, Elliot Abrams would not be sitting in the Trump regime. Kiriakou would never have been sent to prison, but the evil torturers and kidnappers and murders that committed crimes would have. Instead he criminals are protected. They should be exposed, tried, and siting in prison.

This latest action by the Idiot Trump administration makes a complete mockery of justice and laughingstock of the United States.

The folks running this regime and the last and the one before that are the enemies of the Unites States and its citizens.

Spot on - Manning, Assange, Kirakou, and the rest of the whistleblower; the gola is to persecute, target, destroy and crucify the whistleblowers to deter others. Instill fear in those who would expose the criminals. And what happened to the acutal criminals p0 the ones that committed the kidnappings, torture, murders, etc - nothing at all. Heck Trump rewards them with high positions in his regime (Haspel, Abrams). It is the hallmark of a totalitarian regime.

They dont spend much time talking about the material that was liberated.

Take a breath. Specs is reading the allegations in the indictment and providing that information here. Even if the evidence is fabricated, the government will show you what they have at trial.

Talking points to follow.

The chess pieces are moving. Mueller probe ends, no collusion, Barr reveals investigation into intelligence agencies spying on Trump campaign.

No collusion but they still believe in Russian interference, they can still get him on something related to that crime.

Like I said after the FBI went after Roger Stone, if Trump doesn't fight for his best friend, who the hell is he going to fight for?

This is something he *should* lose the election over.

The project was originally named Rubberhose, as it was designed to be resistant to attacks by people willing to use torture on those who knew the encryption keys. This is a reference to the rubber-hose cryptanalysis euphemism.

It was written in 1997–2000 by Julian Assange, Suelette Dreyfus, and Ralf Weinmann.

\ they can still get him on something related to that crime.

NO..
They Can't..

How is that not clear to you.?? they may yell and fuss and stomp their feet like little children but they are not going to get their way.

Trump may very well phuck himself here,,, but it will still have nothing to do with the bogus Russia Influence.

The bitch Lost.. Epicly.

and I don't even like who she lost to,, just glad she lost..

Weather Trump is hero or villain,,in regards to Julian Assange,,, is yet to be seen.

 

[nikcers]

Yep, this is what happens when a bunch of toolbags who hate Trump and love the establishment try and turn something Trump said into something completely different.

I was hoping you would have a better opinion on this other than critics of Trump's comments about arresting someone who Ron Paul said is a hero aren't good enough so they must love the establishment and hate Trump. I am disappointed in your defense of his arrest. I don't think you would be able to defend a Ron Paul administration that extradited Assange by force to have him arrested here for conspiracy to hack government secrets, especially not an Obama administration.

 

[juleswin]

Like I said after the FBI went after Roger Stone, if Trump doesn't fight for his best friend, who the hell is he going to fight for?

This is something he *should* lose the election over.

The man hasn't gone after the people that committed real crimes to supposedly undermine him instead he has forgiven then and in some cases welcomed them into his admin. Something is really off about the man

Chucky Schumer is proud of Trump -

I hope u are right but something tells me that they will find a way to nab him. And ofc I know the bitch lost fair and square but the Washington consensus is that Russia interfered in our elections. Mueller, Barr and even the Trump admin believe that the Russians did something

Assange fears being beaten up in US prison, called Trump crowd 'clowns': Visitor

After nearly seven years holed up inside the cramped Ecuadorian Embassy in London, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is dreading the prospect of violent attacks on him in an American prison, one of his regular visitors told ABC News' The Investigation podcast on Thursday.

In an interview for ABC News’ “The Investigation” podcast conducted one day after Assange's long-anticipated arrest by London police and court appearance on a 2012 bail jumping warrant and U.S. extradition request, one of his most frequent visitors described Assange’s fears of being sent to a US prison and subjected to violence inside.

"He did say he was worried that, if he was in a normal American prison, being beaten up,” war documentary filmmaker and former Taliban hostage Sean Langan, who has spent more than 50 hours with Assange in the past year, told ABC News. Langan’s last visit to Assange at the embassy was on March 22, he said.

“And then I said, 'Well, the chances are you're most likely’ -- slightly gallows humor, it didn't make him feel better – ‘you're most likely going to be put into one of those federal Supermax prisons where you won't see a soul," said Langan, an ABC News contributor.

Perhaps most surprising to many who saw his leaks of embarrassing Democratic party emails during the 2016 campaign -- which Special Counsel Robert Mueller has alleged were hacked by Russian spies in an effort to hurt rival Hillary Clinton's chances -- Assange was often sharply critical of Trump in casual conversation with a handful of visitors.

Langan says Assange described longtime Trump friend and political adviser Roger Stone and Donald Trump Jr. as intellectually incapable of a conspiracy, much less one that included WikiLeaks or him, and he rejoiced when Special Counsel Robert Mueller recently closed his investigation without indicting him for conspiring with Russian military intelligence to tilt the U.S. election.

"'Those bunch of clowns' -- that was the exact quote -- 'those bunch of clowns couldn't conspire and organize this kind of thing'," Langan recalled Assange telling him. "He certainly did not hold [President Trump] in high regard. He was quite dismissive."

Langan and Vaughan Smith, an Assange confidant and owner of London's Frontline Club, began making "social visits" -- as the Ecuadorian Embassy called them -- with Assange in early November. The pair was among the first people summoned by the controversial publisher of sensitive secrets after Ecuador lifted a ban on his visitors and most of his communications, a loosening of restrictions on Assange that lasted six months in 2018.

Langan said that Assange seemed to acknowledge that he had communicated with Guccifer2.0, an online persona Mueller has said in a U.S. indictment was really an amalgam of Russian spies who stole the Democratic party emails and coordinated with WikiLeaks to leak them, but said that he believes Assange was unaware of Guccifer 2.0’s true identity.

Langan said that Assange complained to him that other news outlets were communicating with Guccifer2.0 too but the U.S. government was unfairly picking on him.

"I took it to be a non-denial denial," Langan said.
