The revelations in this @el_pais exposé are astonishing - & infuriating. The Spanish company which @Lenin's submissive Ecuadorian government hired to spy on Assange not only spied on him but also all of us who visited him - then gave our data to the CIA: elpais.com/elpais/2019/10…
@el_pais @Lenin It's obviously illegal and unconstitutional for the CIA & FBI to spy on US citizens - having photos taken of our passports and cellphones - by an elaborate fraud where a security company lies to you about needing those things for security & ID. shadowproof.com/2019/10/09/jou…
@el_pais @Lenin The owner of this company that covertly spied on not only Assange but all who visited him - including US citizens, journalists and lawyers - then passed that information to the CIA & FBI was arrested today in Spain, reports @ElPais elpais.com/elpais/2019/10…

1/ "Qualquer momento!" Ate quarta, meu caro. Ou deveríamos dizer: ate terça, livre? Eles prometem há quatro meses que tudo isso é iminente e, quando não acontece, eles precisam inventar novas fraudes para impedir que seus seguidores percebam que foram enganados.
2/ Todos esses sites e canais - inclusive Jovem Pan e Antagonista - são como cultos apocalípticos: prometendo que o mundo está terminando (ou inimigos presos), e quando não acontece, precisam encontrar uma maneira de manter seus seguidores interessados: esse vez, logo! tic tac!
3/ Interessante o pouco interesse que a PF - controlado por Moro - demonstra em descobrir quem é o responsável pela Pavão, dado que cometeu crimes graves: como Moro abusa de seu poder de perseguir crimes contra ele, ignorando os contra seus adversários:

This NYT article about @TulsiGabbard is perfect. It belongs in a museum to show how the NYT & DNC smear anyone who expresses any dissenting views: accuse them of serving RUSSIA & white nationalists, quote Neera Tanden & Laura McCarthy Rosenberg, etc. nytimes.com/2019/10/12/us/…
@TulsiGabbard Tulsi is an Iraq War veteran & the first Samoan-American & Hindu-American woman elected to Congress. If she recited DNC pieties, you couldn't criticize her without being accused heinous attributes. But because she dissents from some, it's open warfare: she's a traitor & a Nazi.
@TulsiGabbard This NYT article is so perfect: it's the exact formula used by DNC-friendly media to smear anyone who it views as adversary: scream RUSSIA & NAZI over & over - no matter what the person's views are - and your work is done. Look at Tulsi's views which make her a FSB agent & Nazi:

1/ No @RodaViva ontem, @gilmarmendes - independente do que você pensa dele - levantou pontos cruciais sobre os abusos da LJ, corrupção no Ministério Público, o papel da mídia (Globo) e como o #VazaJato expôs fatos vitais que mudaram o debate. Vale a pena ouvir os trechos chaves:
@rodaviva @gilmarmendes 2/ Aqui Gilmar explica o princípio do jornalismo que certos jornalistas ainda não entendem: tem que separar a forma que o material foi obtido por uma fonte do conteúdo, que jornalistas tem que relatar e os tribunais analisar, sobretudo quando mostra corrupção como #VazaJato faz:
@rodaviva @gilmarmendes 3/ Talvez este seja o ponto mais importante que Gilmar enfatizou: MPF, PF e LJ estão se afogando em corrupção e crime, especificamente vazamentos ilegais e selectivas de investigações sigilos para destruir reputações, que nunca são investigadas. Quem reside acima da lei são eles:

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.

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..”

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

#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.

Anyone familiar w/ propaganda techniques will see right through this article's lies, & figure its true intentions.

We will deconstruct it for you, lie by lie, falsehood by falsehood, by tomorrow (Sunday) - stay tuned! 😉

abcnews.go.com/Politics/isola…
Sorry to begin w/ the end of the article, but this is to show how crappy a job @abcnews is doing: they already had to fix a serious 'mistake' where they 'only' made their readers believe Assange is facing charges when he is not.

Way to go @abcnews... but we're not done yet!
Exposing the lies & manipulation in this article is like entering a long sewer: there's poop everywhere you look.
