Julian Assange: Hillary Clinton “Should Resign”

Crusaders don’t fear death…yet this guy continues to hide. What does that tell you?

“Julian Assange: Hillary Clinton “Should Resign”"

~ along with Obama.. Since it is he who tells Clinton what to do!

They didn’t lift a finger to prosecute the Bush war criminals. Do you think someone would resign over a little thing like spying on members of the UN?

Move on…nothing more to see here…what’s past is past….

WikiLeaks cable reveals secret pledge to protect US at Iraq inquiry

Ministry of Defence told US that UK had ‘put measures in place’ to protect American interests during Chilcot inquiry

The British government promised to protect America’s interests during the Chilcot inquiry into the Iraq war, according to a secret cable sent from the US embassy in London.

Jon Day, the Ministry of Defence’s director general for security policy, told US under-secretary of state Ellen Tauscher that the UK had “put measures in place to protect your interests during the UK inquiry into the causes of the Iraq war”.

The admission came in the cable sent on 22 September 2009, which recorded a series of high-level meetings between Tauscher and UK defence officials and diplomats, which involved the then foreign secretary, David Miliband.

The revelation of the move to defend Washington threatens to undermine the inquiry, which was launched by Gordon Brown ‘to identify lessons that can be learned from the Iraq conflict’. It is due to deliver its findings around the turn of the year.

WikiLeaks cable reveals secret pledge to protect US at Iraq inquiry

What a shock seeing actual news being reported.

Obvious crusaders are dumber than dumb.
Long live Assange as the world needs honesty when dealing with numerous evil empires. A whole hell of lot of state department employees, NSA fools, Clinton, Obama, Holder ect. need to resign and march themselves into prison. NeoCons need only depart to an island with not more than small level of heights above seal level so the rest of the citizens of the world can pray for rising tides.

Julian has a pretty broad definition of what he considers espionage. Diplomats reporting back on what other diplomats from other countries say or do would seem to be fairly routine. I am sure most American diplomats at the UN or elsewhere are under no delusion that their counterparts are doing the exact same thing to them.

What would anyone care what Julian thinks? That’s news?

Agreed. When it comes to looking for someone with a point of view on secrecy vs transparency, Julian is a great source since he has such a history and impact on that. When it comes to understanding American politics, this guy is an Australian citizen by birth that currently lives in Iceland. If either of those nations want to complain about Clinton, they can do so but who the heck cares about this guy’s opinion more than any other blogger.

maybe we can just freeze her salary.

I wonder about Assange’s real agenda. Why more leaks on our side plus the Hillary bashing? Will he leak Chinese secrets as much as ours? Or North Korea’s? Or the Sudan’s? If he wants to out duplicity, do so for everyone. Nice to see a better-known pundit ponder the same thoughts (at the end of her post) –

Interesting that KT’s new digs got shut out of the latest leaks du jour –

(oops, couldn’t post two links here, hmm, is that old problem coming back?)

The more I hear from Assange the harder it gets for me to not think of him as an arrogant prick. There is almost no truly new information in these leaks and yet he seems to think he just published the pentagon papers.
.
He is massively undercutting any sympathy I may have at one point had for his position.
.
If he had truly revealed some nefarious plot then his smugness might be justified but in this case it is merely irritating.

I appreciate the view into dark and secret places that Assange provides, but as for him and his opinions, he is the village idiot who can provide information but little in the way of what it really means. Assange, thanks for the information, now just STFU.

I read somewhere that Ecuador has offered him refuge. Put him on the Galapagos, let him forward the secrets he receives, ignore him otherwise.

Ah hell, just read Greenwald if you want the non-statist view.

The title in John Kampfner’s column in The Independent says it all:

“Wikileaks shows up our media for their docility at the feet of authority.”

If he wants to out a Big Bank as the next Enron or Bear Stearns, good luck. But what if his leaks reveal private bank account numbers of innocent customers? How does that help anyone? Of course, if he really wants to know which Big Banks are nefarious, just offer dinner to one of the top flight short sellers (like Chanos, etc.) who actually research companies for bad balance sheets every day …and make $$$ for doing so when correct, as Chanos was with Enron.

When dealing with the american fascist empire of total disgust one of the better journalists commentaries can be had at

The Obama Administration’s War on Truth
Holder v. Assange
By SHERWOOD ROSS

Maybe because he’s from Australia, a U.S. satrap on the far rim of the American Empire, that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange doesn’t know that Washington does not allow anyone to steal information unless it orders them to do so. Attorney General Eric Holder, the Obama hack who will not prosecute CIA thugs for torture and murder, says he is mounting a criminal investigation against Assange because anyone who breaks American law “will be held responsible.” Prosecuting CIA Mafioso just doesn’t excite Holder. Threatening Assange for releasing a quarter of a million of the Empire’s secret files, does, especially since Assange did not alter or prettify them but released them in their unexpurgated state. Assange may or may not have raped a couple of Swedish ladies, as that spineless government suddenly needs to know, but there is no question he has disrobed the Statue of Liberty and shown all the world the whore she has become.,,, continued.

GivenUp: Indeed. It is not the pentagon papers. It’s an unedited collection of hacked documents. The only reason it is so noteworthy is that it appears the U.S. government is classifying way more stuff as “secret” than it should be (therefore, perhaps, keeping journalists from doing their jobs fully, if they were so inclined). The fact that the documents by and large confirm our suspicions says as much. This is not jouralism, but we’re initially kind of grateful that someone is telling us something.
.
Until Assange says something like this.

You seem to insinuate that one who would wish to “hide” isn’t virtuous. Given that Assange has brought to light, hidden acts from those who “hide”, isn’t your criticism of Assange just a bit ironic?

Jon Stewart was talking about the Wikileaks on The Daily Show. He had a transcript of a reporter asking Hillary Clinton if she was embarrassed by the revelations. Stewart pointed out had the reporter forgot the 90s. My lord she was married to Bill Clinton and was daily humiliated by reports about his infedelity. Embarrassed? Probably not.

Hillary should be asked to resign if she didn’t condone a little espionage at the UN. You have all of those diplomats congregated in one place. What kind of idiot wouldn’t take advantage of that?

I just read a story that Interpol put him on the wanted list for “nonconsentual sexual relations.”
