"Undercover Global S. L., the Spanish defense and private security company that was charged with protecting the Ecuadorian embassy during the long stay there of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, spied on the cyberactivist for the US intelligence service."
elpais.com/elpais/2019/09…
"David Morales, the owner of the company, supposedly handed over audio and video to the CIA of the meetings Assange held with his lawyers and collaborators."

That's just evil.
"Among the UC Global S. L. client list is Sheldon Adelson and his gaming company Las Vegas Sands."

Why am I not surprised.
We learn Sheldon Adelson is using a CIA front company for personal surveillance needs. The guy probably has dirt on most people he interacts with, which means the CIA has it too.
This is what real journalism looks like. Such an important article that provides further insight into how power really operates.

Read it:
elpais.com/elpais/2019/09…
"Adelson has a close friendship with US President Donald Trump and is one of the main donors to the Republican Party. Among his security personnel is a former CIA chief."

The CIA is in bed with virtually everyone of significance it appears.
"David Morales, a former member of the military, created his company in 2008 inspired by Blackwater."

Imagine being inspired by Blackwater.

"Jeff Bezos says Amazon is writing its own facial recognition laws to pitch to lawmakers."

Hello my name is Oligarchy, what's your name?

Amazon charges sellers $5,000 a month if they want to talk to a real person about issues.
washingtonpost.com/technology/201…
"In July, the European Union launched an investigation into Amazon’s conflicting roles as both a platform and a retailer of its own products."

Given Amazon's dominance of online retail, it should choose. Be a platform or be a retailer of its own goods. NOT both.

"Attorney General William Barr wants to backdoor Facebook's WhatsApp"

This fits in perfectly with my post published yesterday.
The tech giants are a conduit for fascism because they can be compelled to do stuff on behalf of the government that the government cannot do.
VERY dangerous.
"Centralized and unaccountable government power is alway an existential threat to human liberty, but centralized and unaccountable government power exercised via tech behemoths which aren’t restrained by the Constitution is even worse."

"Case in point: the luggage brand Samsonite, which has to pay for sponsored ads in order to be the top result when you search 'Samsonite' on Amazon."

Read that again and again until you understand.

Amazon is out of control and using mafia tactics.
"They're just private companies" my ass.

"Mattis was about to fly to the West Coast, where he would personally swear Bezos in at Amazon’s headquarters before moving on to meetings with executives from Google and Apple."
Pentagon employee warns about the cozy relationship between the DOD/Amazon/Google and then gets removed from her position as a result. This is what happens to real whistleblowers.

“Journalism is not a crime”

So why is @Wikileaks’ Julian Assange jailed in a maximum security prison, in which people such as Abu Qatada have been imprisoned in? 🙃

What is happening with Julian #Assange? It could be that the Ecuadorian government has caved in to pressure and may imminently expel him from their London Embassy. While I'm keeping an eye on the live stream, a thread
Since 2006 #WikiLeaks has published well over 10 million documents, each one provided by a whistleblower who sought reform of how political, corporate & media elites operate, or to reverse the impact of secrecy, censorship and surveillance & more wikileaks.org/10years/timeli…
Each release has shared genuine official information about how governments, companies, banks, the UN, political parties, jailers, cults, private security firms, war planners and the media actually operate when they think no one is looking.​ wikileaks.org
