PRESS RELEASE: Baltasar Garzón, will lead the legal team representing Julian Assange and WikiLeaks.

Tue Jul 24 19:36:07 UTC 2012

Statement approved by Julian Assange and Baltasar Garzón

The Spanish judge, lawyer, and international jurist, Baltasar Garzón, will lead the legal team representing Julian Assange and WikiLeaks. The jurist met with Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy in the United Kingdom recently. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the new legal strategy which will defend both WikiLeaks and Julian Assange from the existing abuse of process; expose the arbitrary, extrajudicial actions by the international financial system which target Julian Assange and WikiLeaks specifically; and show how the secret US processes against Julian Assange and WikiLeaks have compromised and contaminated other legal processes, including the extradition process against Mr Assange. Despite having been imprisoned, fiscally blockaded, and placed under house arrest for over 650 days, Mr. Assange has not been charged with an offense in any country.

Baltasar Garzón revolutionized the international justice system two decades ago by issuing an international arrest warrant for the former Head of State of Chile, Augusto Pinochet. His actions spearheaded the fight against impunity in Latin America and in the rest of the world. The judge has expressed serious concerns regarding the lack of safeguards and transparency whith which actions are being taken against Julian Assange, and the harassment he is being subjected to which has irreparable effects on his physical and mental wellbeing. The threats against his person are further aggravated by the complicit behaviour of the Swedish and U.K. governments, who are wrongfully abrogating his rights.

===== Spanish ======

El  Juez español, abogado y jurista Internacional Baltasar Garzón asumirá la dirección jurídica del equipo de abogados que representa a Julian Assange y Wikileaks. El Jurista, celebró una reunión privada con Julian Assange en la sede de la Embajada Ecuatoriana en Londres, para discutir una nueva y contundente estrategia jurídica que buscará defender tanto a WikiLeaks, como a su fundador, de los abusos de proceso y de arbitrariedades del Sistema Financiero internacional que pondrán de manifiesto el alcance real de la operación contra Julian Assange, en la que el proceso secreto que se le sigue en los Estados Unidos de América supone una clara amenaza que vicia cualquier otro proceso, como el que motiva la petición de extradición para ser cuestionado en Suecia, solicitud que aparece como mero instrumento para conseguir aquella finalidad.


Baltasar Garzón, que hace dos décadas revolucionó la justicia internacional al hacer efectiva una orden de aprehensión contra el ex Jefe de Estado chileno Augusto Pinochet, lo que permitió importantísimos avances en la lucha contra la impunidad en Latinoamérica y el mundo entero, mostró su grave preocupacion por la ausencia de garantías con las que se está actuando contra Julian Assange y el acoso al que está siendo sometido, con consecuencias irreparables para su propia salud física y mental. Riesgo que se ha agravado con la actitud coactiva del gobierno británico que, sin ofrecer garantías creíbles respecto de Suecia y los Estados Unidos, está moviendo todos los resortes para acabar con una situación que políticamente le perjudica.

Wikileaks Join NATO Attack On Syria.

Washington DC, 12 July 2012 - As the NATO alliance inches closer to a military attack on Syria, a new front in the destabilization of the Damascus government has been opened by the intelligence agencies of the Western powers. The vehicle chosen by the CIA and its allies for this new assault is once again the shadowy limited hangout operation calling itself Wikileaks, and its chief spokesman, the Australian Julian Assange.

On July 5, the Wikileaks website (which the US National Security Agency could cripple within minutes if it so chose) announced a two-month summer offensive against the Baath party government of President Assad based on the release of some 2.43 million e-mails by Syrian government officials, politicians, and companies doing business with the Syrian government, generated between August 2006 and March 2012. About 400,000 emails are in Arabic, and some 70,000 are in Russian.

Assange and his staffers left no doubt that the goal of this new document dump was to discredit the Syrian government, and even more to harass companies in the NATO sphere who are working as contractors for Damascus.

A case in point is the Italian defense contractor Finmeccanica, which was accused based on these e-mails of supplying 500 radios to the Syrian police through Selex Elsag, a subsidiary company. The Italian radical chic newsweekly L’Espresso, owned by financier Carlo de Benedetti, attempted to make these dealings into a scandal under the headline “Finmeccanica helped the dictator.” De Benedetti is a predatory speculator with intelligence links who operates under left cover, very much in the manner of George Soros. The goal of Wikileaks is obviously to incite public opinion against Finmeccanica and similar companies, and to mobilize parliamentary witch hunts against them for supposedly contributing to repression in Syria. If Syria’s western equipment suppliers can be shut down, then the weapons shipped into Syria by Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the other Gulf monarchies through the CIA distribution network based in southern Turkey could tip the balance in favor of anarchy. Wikileaks is thus complicit in the violent overthrow of the Syrian government by the NATO-backed death squads....read more

Wikileaks : Whay Have They Removed The Chile - Syria Cables ?

This was the link to the cables on Chile and Syria ; there is now a trumped up explaination as to why the link can no longer be found !

It would appear we are only to view the latest 'SyriaFiles' ...questions are being asked as to what is the  ASSANGE/ WIKILEAKS agenda  ?

Before Wikileaks:Sensitive Information Security Sources and Breaches

Unauthorized disclosures of secrets are essential for democracy.
 
In response to Wikileaks background inquiries Cryptome offers that there are hundreds of online and offline sources of sensitive information security breaches which preceded Wikileaks beginning about 120 years ago.

Julian #Assange Show:Anwar Ibrahim Interview

Published on 3 Jul 2012 by RussiaToday

Julian Assange speaks to the leader of the Malaysian opposition - Anwar Ibrahim. As a rising internal rival to the former Prime Minister Mahathir, Anwar was imprisoned for 5 years after being smeared with sex allegations. As a result of a popular campaign in 2004, his conviction was overturned and he was released from prison. In 2008, he was again targeted for sex crimes allegations, he won the case earlier this year. With Malaysian elections looming with Anwar tipped to win, he has now been charged with unauthorized assembly. If found convicted, he will be prevented from running.

#Assange: FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS Julian #Assange. Besos..Besos ...Besos.

#Assange: #Guardian Backstabbers Backpeddle.

The worst offender of course was David Leigh himself a confessed phonehacker who went after Rupert Murdoch for the same 'crime'. Hypocrite!

The Guardian crawls.

There don't appear to be many aspects of Julian Assange's life and work that haven't attracted controversy. His decision to seek the shelter of the Ecuadorean embassy and apply for asylum in that country to avoid extradition to Sweden, where he faces allegations of sexual assaults against two women, is just the latest twist in an extraordinary life story.

He is a man who inspires strong feelings in those who meet him. His friends and admirers are indefatigable while his detractors groan with each fresh turn of the story. The Guardian worked closely with Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, to publish a series of stories based on the five significant tranches of material released from the mass that was leaked to WikiLeaks allegedly by US intelligence analyst Bradley Manning.

The Guardian's involvement began with the release of the Afghan war logs. In this, and the next two releases, WikiLeaks co-operated with the Guardian, which brought together a group of papers, including the New York Times, to assess and edit the material. By the time of the release of the final batch – the Guantánamo files – the relationship between Assange and the Guardian and the NYT had foundered, although Alan Rusbridger, the Guardian's editor-in-chief, still supports many of the principles of WikiLeaks and would support Assange in any attempt by the US to extradite him over the release of the cables.

One particular aspect of the reporting of Assange's fight against extradition continues to cause problems. It is always important to report with precision when dealing with criminal allegations. They are often complex and a slip may be unfair to the accused or even wreck a trial, rendering the newspaper liable for prosecution. When dealing with unfamiliar laws and procedures of another country, journalists have to be even more careful.

Assange's situation is complicated. His fight to avoid extradition has gone all the way to the supreme court where yet another twist meant that he had time to consider an appeal to the European court of human rights in Strasbourg. In some stories and comment articles Guardian writers have stated that Assange "is facing charges" in Sweden, which Assange claims is inaccurate. This has led some of his supporters to think that the Guardian is carrying out a vendetta.

One reader wrote: "As a committed Guardian reader of 40 years, I recognise the futility of what I'm doing but feel I should make the effort. I wish to register my disappointment at the tone and content of the reporting on Julian Assange, who has not yet been found guilty of anything, and for whom extradition to the US from Sweden is a genuine and serious threat."

It is not a vendetta, it is the difficulty of reflecting the way Swedish law works. Joshua Rozenberg, a Guardian columnist and former legal affairs correspondent of the BBC, said that "facing charges" meant "facing the prospect of being charged". He adds: "Victims make allegations; prosecutors bring charges if appropriate. The fact that Assange had not been formally charged did not affect the requirement he faced to deal with the charges the prosecutor had specified, either by responding to her questions or in court. He could not have been extradited to face allegations."

However, it is a major plank of Assange's appeal against extradition to Sweden that he has not been formally charged. He complained to the Press Complaints Commission in January 2012 that it was inaccurate for publications, including the Guardian, to state that he "faced charges" but his complaint was rejected. The PCC adjudication stated it was not in dispute that he had not been formally charged but the articles under complaint "had alluded to 'charges' more generally".

However, the PCC said in the last line of its adjudication that it would "take the opportunity to draw the complainant's concerns in this respect to the publications' intentions". Since then the Guardian's reporters and writers have largely referred to the "allegations" or "accusations", but there have been instances where the term "facing charges" has been used.

Whatever the wider meaning, for the sake of clarity, consistency and fairness, the Guardian's head of news has sent a note to editorial staff to state that in future all copy will refer to allegations or accusations.
