Debunking All The Assange Smears
UPDATE: @Medium has suspended this post for violations I haven't received a clear explanation for. Everything I put in there was public record.
UPDATE: I took a guess what they wanted and made some edits to the article and now Medium's restored it. The names in the "rapist" smear were mainstream public knowledge, but I guess they still didn't want them used.

Twenty-One Thoughts On The Persecution Of Julian Assange

"Anyone who offends the US-centralized empire will find themselves subject to a trial by media, and the media are owned by the same plutocratic class which owns the empire."

Statement on the @thinkprogress report that I "write for" US Journal, an outlet which appears to have some undisclosed connections to Iran: I'm an indie writer and I don't write for any outlet. Outlets republish my work on a daily basis, some with permission, some without. 1/3
It happens that this one was with my permission, but the outlet doesn't appear to have been honest about its origins. I've asked them to unpublish my articles; I have no issues with Iranian outlets republishing me, but I'm not okay with dishonesty about their nature. 2/3
I received no payment of any kind from the outlet, and they never said anything about connections to any government. In the interests of transparency and posterity, here is the email US Journal sent me asking for my permission to republish, and my response to them. 3/3

Here are some of the memes Russia's Internet Research Agency posted to social media that include #Assange or #WikiLeaks. These are directly from the "project concord" leak last november. usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
These come directly from the files they shared.

Would charges for #Assange's role in disclosing classified national security information implicate #PressFreedoms?

Q&A with @rgoodlaw (posing questions) and @steve_vladeck (answering them)

justsecurity.org/40281/qa-assan…
Question: “What if the government’s case against Julian Assange is based primarily – and let’s say for the sake of analysis, exclusively – on allegations that he was directly involved in procuring classified information?...”
A: “If the government’s claim against Assange is not about publication or retention of national security information, but instead looks more like a solicitation or conspiracy claim...that might provide a thin-enough reed on which to rest a prosecution without crossing the line..”

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…
If the above link is edited or taken down, see here:

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…
