Top ten false or fabricated stories appearing in the press about WikiLeaks
1. Guardian front page fabrication claiming that Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort had "secret meetings " with Julian Assange. The fabrication included dates (2013, 2015, 2016) and Manafort's clothing on the alleged visits ("sandy coloured chinos") theintercept.com/2019/01/02/fiv…
2. Tipple false leak from CNN, NBC, CBS which falsely claimed Trump Jr received information from WikiLeaks ahead of publication. In fact, once the original doc appeared it proved that it was not from WikiLeaks and that it was not prior to publication.

BREAKING: On Jan 7 DoJ issued letters rogatory to interrogate six former diplomats & staff at Ecuador's London embassy following Guardian's fabricated story of Assange-Manafort meetings. Ecuador scheduled all to be interrogated tomorrow in Quito

Context: defend.wikileaks.org
Further context. The move comes after six Democrats, citing the Assange-Manafort story in the Guardian, wrote to U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, to demand that the U.S. request that Ecuador supply such information: democrats.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/…
An intentionally planted front page false story in the Guardian has now led to statements in Congress, the activation of the U.S. Secretary of State, the DoJ, Ecuador's DoJ, and Ecuador's astonishing agreement to formally let a foreign power interrogate its diplomatic staff.

Roger Stone-
#MuellerTime or #BiggestStingEver?
Why was @CNN there for the raid? All part of the plan?
How does the case against Roger Stone put #JulianAssange in the middle of the Mueller Investigation? Why are we EXCITED to see #Assange unleashed? ⤵️⤵️

Hmmm. #WikiLeaks lawyer commenting on the Roger Stone arrest. Puzzle is forming up nicely!

Read between the lines. How can you prove that #SpyGate went FAR beyond the Carter Page FISA surveillance? Arrest a guy (Stone) that draws the source of conflicting evidence into discovery.

“The charges against Mr. Stone do not allege that Mr. Stone lied about his [lack of] contacts with Julian Assange, but rather about his contacts with others and about documents reflecting those communications.”
“The Office of Special Counsel has never spoken with Mr. Assange. It remains unknown what criminal charges have been brought against Mr. Assange in the Eastern District of Virginia. The govt continues to refuse to explain to Mr. Assange or the public the nature of those charges."

#Assange Prosecution Will Focus On #ChelseaManning Era Releases, Not #DNCEmails

disobedientmedia.com/2018/11/assang…
Recent reports have indicated that formerly secret charges pending against #JulianAssange will focus on material relating to @xychelsea and the earliest releases published by #WikiLeaks.
This latest news directly counters allegations published by #Russiagate hysterics, who suggested the charges would relate to WikiLeaks’ 2016 publications of the #DNC and #JohnPodesta emails.

Gillard government betrayed Assange. She deliberately passed a new law after talking with the US thereby "creating" a justification for extradition just before her making an embarrassing idiotic claim that wikileaks was illegal. businessinsider.com.au/australian-gov…

More evidence of Australia's betrayal of Assange by colluding with the US. This is from 2010 onwards. Labor party. People involved are the same who were involved in the coup that removed Kevin Rudd as PM. telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews…
