SPECIAL ANALYSIS: Working directly with Ecuador, the US govt spied on #Assange 24 hours a day via an illegal livestream surveillance operation set up by a private security firm and approved by Ecuador’s president. @jimmysllama @WikiLeaks @CourageFound mintpressnews.com/us-complicit-j…

@jimmysllama @wikileaks @couragefound Spain’s High Court is currently investigating security firm UC Global for what has been exposed as a mind-blowing, complex, and invasive surveillance operation set up in the Ecuadorian Embassy in order to monitor #Assange’s every move

@jimmysllama @wikileaks @couragefound After being hired by Ecuador’s intel agency, Senain, UC Global bugged virtually everything in the embassy including the women’s bathroom. UC's founder David Morales also admits to passing docs, vids, and audios of meetings #Assange held at the embassy to the CIA.

@jimmysllama @wikileaks @couragefound But the truly vile and nefarious element of this case is the fact that they installed “an external streaming access point...so that all of the recordings could be accessed instantly by the US.” SecState Mike Pompeo was head of the CIA at the time.

@jimmysllama @wikileaks @couragefound So while the Trump administration was secretly watching a political prisoner via a livestream in one of the "grossest voyeuristic intelligence games America has seen," it egregiously breached #Assange's privacy and violated attorney-client privilege.

@jimmysllama @wikileaks @couragefound What’s not being talked about is Morales’ client, billionaire Sheldon Adelson, a pro-Israel Zionist fanatic close to Netanyahu and who was the 2nd largest donor to Trump's 2016 campaign. He was also the largest donor to his inauguration fund.

@jimmysllama @wikileaks @couragefound So the fact that Trump's current SecState was likely heading up the spy operation stateside as director of the CIA, and his 2nd biggest campaign donor and close associate is a client of the guy running the op at the embassy makes it implausible that Trump didn't know

@jimmysllama @wikileaks @couragefound The administration’s direct involvement in an illegal, livestream surveillance operation of a publisher, journalist, and political prisoner who at the time had never been charged with a single crime is beyond shocking... #Assange

@jimmysllama @wikileaks @couragefound And reveals just how corrupt that administration is and how critical the situation has become for the press and media workers around the world. Now is not the time for dialogue. Now is the time for accountability.
