Julian Assange has finally been freed after over a decade of persecution by the US government for exposing its war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan. Following a plea deal with the US Department of Justice, the WikiLeaks founder was freed from the super-max Belmarsh Prison on Monday, where he was held for over five years battling impending extradition to the US.

Kevin Gosztola, the curator of TheDissenter.org newsletter & author of Guilty of Journalism: The Political Case Against Julian Assange, discusses the global movement to free Assange and why his release is a “major defeat” for the CIA, FBI and Justice Department.

Several government employees and military officers who have resigned from President Joe Biden's administration over Israel's war on Gaza are whistleblowers. All of them are dissenters.

This past week 12 of them united around a call to end the violence and urged their former colleagues to become whistleblowers.

Join Kevin Gosztola for a live broadcast where he'll celebrate these dissenters, and stick around for the second hour, where he'll respond to viewer questions and comments and discuss where his focus will be now that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is free.

"Now that one of the key people behind all this has just been elected prime minister, it’s even less likely that we’ll ever learn the truth. Indeed, one cannot help but wonder if releasing Assange just before the election wasn’t a way — for Starmer and everyone else involved — to make this story go away once and for all."

- Thomas Fazi, July 5th, 2024

-------------

Much speculation over why Assange's release right now, but it really had occurred to me that there must be a link to this UK election, and Starmer, being so closely linked to his persecution and that their UK man, Starmer, being most likely propelled to the helm of Government.

This Substack post by Thomas Fazi provides some background.

-------------

Starmer's role in Assange's persecution
Source: https://www.thomasfazi.com/p/starmer...es-persecution

As head of the UK Crown Prosecution Service, the newly elected British PM Keir Starmer played a key role in setting in motion the infernal legal machinery that crushed Assange for 14 years

Even though Julian Assange was finally freed last month, after a 14-year-long ordeal, many myths still endure about the whole affair. One of these is that the case concerning Assange’s alleged rape of two girls in Sweden, in 2010, never went to trial because Assange evaded justice. In reality, Assange, who was then in the UK, made himself available for questioning via several means, by telephone or video conference, or in person in the Australian embassy. But the Swedish authorities insisted on questioning him in Sweden. Assange’s legal team countered that extradition of a suspect simply to question him — not to send him to trial, as he had not been charged — was a disproportionate measure.

This was more than a technicality: Assange feared that if he were extradited to Sweden, the latter’s authorities would extradite him to the US, where he had good reason to believe that he wouldn’t be given a fair trial. Sweden, after all, always refused to provide Assange a guarantee of non-extradition to the US — the reason why, when in 2012 the British Supreme Court ruled that he should be extradited to Sweden, Assange sought political asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy. From there, however, he continued to make known his availability to be interrogated by the Swedish authorities inside the embassy, but they never replied.

Thanks to a FOIA investigation by the Italian journalist Stefania Maurizi, it would later emerge that a crucial role in getting Sweden to pursue this highly unusual line of conduct was played by the UK Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), the principal public agency for conducting criminal prosecutions, then led by one Keir Starmer. In early 2011, while Assange was still under house arrest, Paul Close, a British lawyer with the CPS, gave his Swedish counterparts his opinion on the case, apparently not for the first time. “My earlier advice remains, that in my view it would not be prudent for the Swedish authorities to try to interview the defendant in the UK”, Close wrote. Why did the Crown Prosecution Service advise the Swedes against the only legal strategy that could have brought the case to a rapid resolution, namely questioning Julian Assange in London, rather than insisting on his extradition?

In hindsight, it seems clear that the CPS’s aim was precisely that of keeping the case in a legal limbo, and Assange trapped in Britain, for as long as possible, especially considering how shaky the case against Assange was in the first place. After all, what better outcome for Assange’s enemies than keeping him under investigation for years, suspected of being a rapist but never either charged or cleared once and for all, thus justifying his arbitrary detention? The CPS’s hostile treatment of Assange, the citizen of an allied country, continued even after he sought refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy, for example by insisting on denying him “safe passage” in UK territory in order to be treated in a hospital for a shoulder problem.

A year after Assange had taken refuge in the embassy, it appears that the Swedish prosecutor was considering dropping the extradition proceedings, but she was deterred from doing so by the CPS. The prosecutor was concerned, among other things, about the mounting costs of costs of the Scotland Yard agents guarding the embassy day and night. But for the British authorities this was not a problem; they replied that they “do not consider costs are a relevant factor in this matter”.

As a result of the Swedish authorities’ highly unusual behaviour, Assange had, by then, been arbitrarily and illegitimately forced into detention for seven years, as was concluded even by the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention.

What role, if any, did Keir Starmer play in all this as head of the CPS? During the period when the body was overseeing Assange’s extradition to Sweden, Starmer made several trips to Washington. US records show Starmer met with Attorney General Eric Holder and a host of American and British national security officials. Using the Freedom of Information Act, the British media organisation Declassified UK requested the itinerary for each of Starmer’s four trips to Washington with details of his official meetings, including any briefing notes. CPS replied that all the documents relative to Starmer’s trips to Washington had been destroyed. Asked for clarification — and whether the destruction of documents was routine — the CPS did not respond.

Similarly, when Maurizi submitted a FOIA request to the CPS to shed light on the correspondence between Paul Close and the Swedish authorities, she was also told that all the data associated with Paul Close’s account had been deleted when he retired and could not be recovered. This only beckoned more questions: why did the CPS destroy key documents on a high-profile, ongoing case? And what did the CPS destroy exactly, and on whose instructions? The CPS added that Close’s email account had been deleted “in accordance with standard procedure”. However, Maurizi would later discover that this procedure was by no means standard. The destruction of key emails was distinctly suspicious.

Since then, Maurizi has been waging a years-long legal fight to access documents related to the CPS and Assange case, but she has been systematically stonewalled by CPS — even despite a judge order ordering the CPS to come clean about the destruction of key documents on Assange. One cannot help but wonder: what are they trying to hide? It’s hard to shake the conclusion that the real purpose of the Swedish investigation, and of CPS’s unusual behaviour, was simply to keep Assange detained for as long as necessary to get him extradited to the US.

Now that one of the key people behind all this has just been elected prime minister, it’s even less likely that we’ll ever learn the truth. Indeed, one cannot help but wonder if releasing Assange just before the election wasn’t a way — for Starmer and everyone else involved — to make this story go away once and for all.

According to a leaked diplomatic cable published by Wikileaks, Israeli 🇮🇱 Defense Intelligence Chief Amos Yadlin explicitly said in 2007 that "Israel would be happy if Hamas took over Gaza because the IDF could then deal with Gaza as a hostile state." So why has Israel been handing Hamas suitcases with hundreds of millions in cash — while calling them "enemies of civilization" and "bloodthirsty barbarians"?

• Julian Assange | Wikileaks’ Assange Makes First Public Statement Since His Release From Prison

In a first major public appearance since his release from prison, Julian Assange addresses the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) in a hearing to discuss his imprisonment and its impact on human rights. Julian Assange is an Australian journalist and founder of WikiLeaks, known for publishing classified documents, and was arrested in 2019. Watch the full broadcast to know more.

Julian Assange, accompanied by his wife Stella, took part in a parliamentary hearing on his detention and conviction - and their chilling effect on human rights - ahead of a full plenary debate on this topic by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) due on Wednesday 2 October.

The hearing was organised by the Assembly’s Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights in the framework of a report on this topic by Thorhildur Sunna Ævarsdóttir (Iceland, SOC). Wikileaks Editor-in-Chief Kristinn Hrafnsson also took part.

In his first public remarks since his release from detention at Belmarsh Prison in the UK four months ago, Mr Assange told parliamentarians: "I want to be totally clear. I am not free today because the system worked. I am free today because after years of incarceration I pleaded guilty to journalism. I pleaded guilty to seeking information from a source, and I pleaded guilty to informing the public what that information was."
He added: "It’s good to be back. It’s good to be amongst people who – as we say in Australia – who give a damn. It’s good to be amongst friends."

In a recent draft resolution, based on Ms Ævarsdóttir's report, the committee expressed deep concern at Mr Assange’s harsh treatment, warned of its “chilling effect” and called on the United States, a Council of Europe observer state, to investigate the alleged war crimes and human rights violations disclosed by him and Wikileaks.
The committee also said it considers that the “disproportionately severe charges” brought against him by the US authorities, as well as the heavy penalties foreseen under the Espionage Act for engaging in acts of journalism, fall within the requirements set out in a 2012 Assembly resolution on the definition of a political prisoner.

On Wednesday 2 October, the Assembly – which brings together parliamentarians from the 46 Council of Europe member states – will debate and vote on the committee’s draft resolution.

• 10 Stories the Media Buried Today

#10 - Julian Assange Exposes CIA's Plot to Assassinate Him in First Public Hearing Since Release

Assange revealed how the CIA attempted to assassinate him within the embassy, tried to obtain DNA from his infant son, and had a CIA asset permanently track his wife.

“We revealed the CIA's vast production of malware and viruses, its subversion of supply chains... CIA Director Pompeo launched a campaign of retribution,” Assange said.

He went on to explain that under Mike Pompeo’s leadership, the CIA had drafted plans to kidnap or kill him, while also targeting his colleagues in Europe with theft, hacking, and planting false information.

These jaw-dropping claims are backed by over thirty current and former U.S. intelligence officials, as well as evidence from a legal case against some of the CIA agents involved. Assange emphasized that the CIA’s actions against him, his family, and his associates show just how far intelligence organizations are willing to go when it comes to transnational repression.

Assange made it clear: “The CIA’s targeting of myself, my family, and my associates through aggressive extrajudicial and extraterritorial means provides a rare insight into how powerful intelligence organizations engage in transnational repression. Such repressions are not unique. What is unique is that we know so much about this one due to numerous whistleblowers and to judicial investigations in Spain.”

Pokemon Go using your phone camera to build a CIA-backed 3D Map A.I. system. It sounds like an insane movie plot. But it's real. In 2016, this was "Lunduke's crazy conspiracy theory about Pokemon Go being used to spy on everyone, backed by the CIA". Now, in 2024, Niantic Labs (the makers of Pokemon Go), proudly brags about using Pokemon Go to spy on you... and using that covertly obtained information to build a massive, 3D Artificial Intelligence Mapping System of private spaces. "We receive about 1 million fresh scans each week, each containing hundreds of discrete images." In other words: Lunduke was right.

The connection between Pokémon Go and the CIA, claiming that the game is being used to create a CIA-backed 3D mapping AI engine through data collected from players' smartphones. They reference a blog post from Niantic Labs, the game's developer, boasting about the millions of photos collected to build this system. The speaker recalls writing an article in 2016 about the CIA's investment in Niantic through its venture capital firm, In-Q-Tel, highlighting the vast amount of personal data Pokémon Go gathers, including players' locations, movement patterns, and even facial data. The Lunduke Journal mention being ridiculed for suggesting that Pokémon Go could be part of a spy operation, but later point out that a 2017 WikiLeaks release revealed that many CIA hacking project code names were based on Pokémon. The speaker highlights the role of Gilman Louie, the CIA investor who supported Niantic, noting that he received multiple awards from the agency for his contributions. The speaker concludes by reflecting on how their initial warnings about the game's implications were dismissed, yet have now become more relevant as the technology has evolved.

Niantic's development of a large geospatial model (LGM) as part of their visual positioning system (VPS). This model utilizes large-scale machine learning to understand and interact with 3D spaces globally, similar to how large language models operate with text. Niantic has trained over 50 million neural networks using vast amounts of data, enabling precise positioning in over a million locations. The VPS collects data from users playing games like Pokémon Go, allowing for centimeter-level accuracy in determining a user's position based on images and telemetry data gathered from their devices. The speaker expresses concern about privacy implications, highlighting how this technology can effectively "spy" on users and their surroundings, as it continuously collects detailed information from various locations and perspectives. Niantic's admission of its data collection methods raises alarms about the extent of mass A.I. surveillance involved in their services.

Niantic's connection to the CIA, highlighting that the agency has awarded board member Gilman Louie for his involvement in the company. The speaker speculates on the potential uses of Niantic's extensive surveillance data, suggesting that it could provide the CIA with detailed maps of people's movements and activities within their homes. Legit concerna over mass privacy invasion, comparing the data collection to something a fictional villain would do. While acknowledging the impressive technology behind it, the speaker doubts that the CIA's interest lies in harmless applications. They reflect on how their previous warnings about the risks of such technology have been validated, criticizing those who dismissed their concerns as conspiracy theories. The speaker concludes by expressing satisfaction in being vindicated and encourages their audience to support their work through subscriptions.

• Alcyon Pléiades 44 - Pokémon Go, Selfies, Exobiologie, Projet Blue Beam, Etres de Lumière-Ténèbres. (3 years ago).

• Historical Context: Niantic Labs, the developer behind Pokémon Go, has roots in mapping technologies with connections to intelligence communities. Keyhole, Inc., founded by John Hanke (who later founded Niantic), was initially funded by In-Q-Tel, the venture capital firm of the CIA, to develop what would become Google Earth. This connection fueled early conspiracy theories about Pokémon Go's data collection intentions when it was released in 2016.
• Current Developments: Fast forward to 2024, Niantic has indeed been using the data collected from Pokémon Go players to develop what they refer to as a "Large Geospatial Model" (LGM). This model leverages augmented reality (AR) data, including images and location data from players' devices, to create highly detailed 3D maps of the physical world.
  • Visual Positioning System (VPS): Niantic's VPS uses images from smartphones to determine device position and orientation on a 3D map. This technology has been integral to the game, especially for features that require real-world interaction, like placing virtual Pokémon in specific locations.
  • Mass Data Mining Collection: The data Niantic collects includes scans from locations around the world, capturing over 1 million new scans weekly. This data isn't just for game enhancement; it's used to train AI models for understanding and navigating the physical world, which has applications beyond gaming, like urban planning, logistics, and potentially military or surveillance uses.
• Public Reaction and Privacy Concerns:
  • Privacy: The revelation that player data contributes to this large-scale AI mapping project has raised significant privacy concerns. While Niantic has stated that such data collection is for improving AR experiences, the scale and application of this data can feel intrusive, especially when recalling the game's origins linked to intelligence tech.
  • Transparency: There's a debate around transparency. Some argue that users consented to share this data under the game's privacy policy, whereas others feel that the implications of this data use were not clear or understood at the time of consent.
• Broader Implications:
  • The transformation of Pokémon Go from a simple game to a data collection tool illustrates how tech companies might use popular platforms to gather extensive data for AI development. This evolution reflects a broader trend where consumer applications serve dual purposes, often with implications for privacy and security.
• Official Statements: Niantic has been open about their ambitions to create an LGM, but the connection to past conspiracy theories and the privacy implications remain a point of contention. They emphasize the benefits for AR technologies and spatial computing but acknowledge the opt-in nature of data sharing for mapping.

This situation underscores the need for critical examination of the terms under which users interact with apps, especially those with AR and location-based features, highlighting the often blurred lines between entertainment, technology development, and national security interests.

[Michel Leclerc]

At your great post with Assange’s speech and Dore/Metzger’s valuable comments, John.

How true are Julian Assange’s words. Why should he have continued, why would he continue to be a martyr for an obsolescent concept of truthfulness? Rotting in prison while the rest of “society” grows in cowardice and idiocy? He has kids (plural) he loves – that would be a good reason for fighting for a better world, would it not? Except that more and more people doubt their past wisdom when they used sex for procreation. No, the future world will not give sweet youth more opportunities for thriving than we got as kids, they may reason. What is left then is the protection impulse any parent, any elder feels towards the young – and that in spite of the truth in Mr Metzger’s bitter remark about the Millennials: "they have been taught that consensus is better than truth” (my paraphrase). So the small Pacific island where it is still possible to help young loved ones discover still awesome Life is in Julian Assange’s case called Australia. More genuine humanity can be expected there from “the wild”: a disgruntled marsupial or a territorial spider.
