    Will technology be used to enslave people? Jérémie Zimmermann says it's possible. Along with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and others, Zimmermann has co-authored a new book that explores the history and necessity of digital encryption and modern technologies. 'Cypherpunks: Freedom and the Future of the Internet" is the latest from the group of world renowned hackers and crackers, and Zimmermann weighs in with RT's Kristine Frazao about the state of the Web, privacy, open information sharing and more.

    Top 10 wikileaks revolations .......



    Published on 28 Nov 2012 by RTAmerica

    Wednesday marked the two year anniversary of the release of sensitive information by the website Wikileaks which changed the face of whistleblowing as we know it. The information leak known as "Cablegate" exposed the corruption in Egypt to the killing of innocent civilians by the US military in Iraq. Adriana Usero breaks down the top 10 WikiLeaks revelations.

    It has nearly been six months since WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been protected from political persecution in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. Ecuador granted Assange asylum for his involvement in "Cablegate" which exposed the corruption of governments across the globe, but the whistleblower has been held at a standstill due to the threat of arrest if he were to step foot outside the facility. RT's Laura Smith brings us the latest from London on Assange's case.

    Interesting moment on the RT interview (1st video posted above) is at 9:20. This is the second time that Assange hints that there is a big event coming in 2013.

    Quote RT: We just passed the second anniversary of Cablegate, and since then this war on whistleblowers and this state surveillance seems to have got worse. Do you think something as large as Cablegate could ever happen again and it would have a similar impact?

    JA: Yes, yes. Hopefully next year.

    RT: What sort of time next year?

    JA: I won’t go into it, but hopefully earlier rather than later.
    In September, Assange predicted that there would be certain events that would transpire within the next year that would make his detention in the Ecuadorian embassy irrelevant.

    Of course, Wikileaks has tens of thousands of documents that they have yet to release. Clearly, he is hinting that he knows something, that something big is coming down the pike. I am only guess that the comment that it occur "hopefully earlier" means it is something for our benefit.

    Julian Assange appeared on CNN's "OutFront with Erin Burnett" on November 28, 2012.
    He discusses his new book "Cypherpunks", the mass surveillance state, and Bradley Manning.

    Yes that is interresting, Maybe he is hoping to be in Equador before it gets disclosed so he would be more free to release material without prejudicing his chances of getting out of London !

    We will have to see .

    Wikileaks' Julian Assange: Full interview

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20563871



    1 December 2012 Last updated at 04:17 Help Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has spoken about his battle against extradition to Sweden in a rare and defiant interview with the BBC from the Ecuadorean embassy in London.

    Mr Assange sought refuge at the embassy in June, to avoid extradition for questioning over allegations of rape and sexual assault, which he denies. He has remained there since and was granted asylum by Ecuador in August.

    He spoke to the BBC's Zeinab Badawi about the claims, as well as the case of Private Bradley Manning - currently facing a US Army trial for allegedly giving secret files to Wikileaks - and about freedom of speech.

    Julian Assange suffering lung problems, says Ecuador

    WikiLeaks founder reportedly suffering from a chronic lung condition after spending months inside Ecuadorean embassy
    Share250 Reuters in Quito

    The Guardian, Thursday 29 November 2012 06.11 GMT

    Ecuador's ambassador to Britain says WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is suffering from a chronic lung condition Link to this video
    The WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is suffering from a chronic lung ailment that could worsen at any time and is being checked regularly by doctors, Ecuador's ambassador to Britain has said.

    Assange, 41, has been holed up inside Ecuador's embassy in London since June to avoid extradition to Sweden for questioning over rape and sexual assault allegations. Assange has denied any wrongdoing.

    "He has a chronic lung complaint that could get worse any time. The Ecuadorean state is covering Mr Assange's medical costs and we have arranged for regular doctor visits to check on his health," the ambassador, Ana Alban, told a local TV network during a visit to Quito.

    British officials say Assange will be arrested if he sets foot outside the embassy. The building is under constant police surveillance.

    Ecuador said last month it was worried about Assange's health and asked Britain to guarantee him safe passage to hospital from the embassy if he needed medical treatment. That would allow him to return to the embassy after treatment with refugee status.

    Assange took refuge in the embassy after running out of legal options to avoid being sent to Sweden. Ecuador granted him asylum in August and said it shared his fears that he could be sent from Sweden to the US to face charges over WikiLeaks' activities.

    US and European government sources say the US has issued no criminal charges against him, nor launched any attempts to extradite Assange.

    Assange is said to be living a cramped life inside the modest diplomatic mission. He eats mostly takeaway food and uses a treadmill to burn off energy and a vitamin D lamp to make up for the lack of sunlight.

    On Tuesday Assange accused "hard-right" US politicians of pressing European credit card firms to block more than $50m in donations to WikiLeaks, and said that had forced the website to reduce the volume of documents it posted online.

    Speaking to reporters in the embassy's conference room, Assange said his stay there had been "difficult in many ways" and that any resolution of the standoff would be "a matter of diplomacy".

    He refused to comment on his health or how long he may have to stay in the embassy, declaring those subjects "off-topic".

    In late August Assange said he expected to wait six months to a year for a deal that would allow him to leave the embassy.

    Neocons in Congress behind Wikileaks financial blockade




    Published on 27 Nov 2012 by RTAmerica


    Wikileaks is no stranger due to attacks due to its anti-secret stance and recently the website released
    documents showcasing who was behind its financial blockade. MasterCard Europe disclosed that US
    Senator Joseph Lieberman and Representative Peter King played a significant role in cut off funds to
    Wikileaks. RT's Liz Wahl has more.

    It took me a long time to come to the the 'Conclusion' that my fellow Countryman 'Mr Assange' is working on behalf of the 'Evil-Doers'...

    Its not until you put the jigsaw puzzle together before you start to see, just how inter-woven this whole charade really is..!!!

    Here's a couple of words that breed familiararity...

    WAKE-UP...

    PS - If Julian Assange was half the 'OGRE' he has been made out to be by the 'US Govt. & MSM', he'd be dead...

    Just ponder on that for a second and you too will see the TRUTH..

    I disagree, Jack.

    He´s got a lot of media exposure and he´s turned into an icon of the contemporary revolutionary.

    The worse thing the USA could do is to kill him, making him a martyr.

    Killing him would probably increase what they call "cyber terrorism" a hundred times.

    Besides, he isn´t stupid; I´m sure he´s got powerful info that he uses as a life insurance, ready to be released if he´s murdered.
