United States Will Bring
<\/b><\/span>Assange <\/b><\/span>to US in Chains<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

It appears increasingly likely Wikileaks founder and publisher Julian Assange will wind up in the clutches of the U.S. government.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s hardly surprising, given that in ten years\u2019 time, <\/span>Wikileaks published more classified information than all other media combined. It exposed human rights abuses, government spying, torture, and war crimes on an unprecedented scale.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

WikiLeaks put government, corporations and even the Pentagon, the FBI, the CIA and other intel agencies on notice that they could no longer count on operating in secret. <\/span><\/p>\n

It created a trove of primary source material that serious journalists and researchers will mine for years to come. Its publications are accessible to readers who prefer primary sources to mostly mediated news.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wikileaks so infuriates the USA\u2019s most violent, corrupt, and criminal institutions that Hillary Clinton <\/span>half-jokingly<\/span> suggested drone-bombing Assange. Other U.S. politicians called for his execution by other means. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

California\u2019s 28th District Congressman Adam Schiff, who became the chair of the House Intelligence Committee when Democrats reclaimed the House, said he would speak to Assange \u201cwhen he is in U.S. custody, not before.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Schiff is a vociferous and supremely self-righteous leader of the Democratic Party\u2019s \u201cResistance,\u201d which sullies the name of the underground movement formed in France during World War II to fight Nazi Germany\u2019s occupying forces and the collaborationist Vichy government. <\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201cResistance\u201d tolerates only one truth and one loyalty: Russia is the enemy, interfering in Syria, the Ukraine and even U.S. elections. Russia elected Trump <\/span>with Wikileaks\u2019 help, it says.<\/span> Russia dares to position missiles on its own borders, it says, to respond to NATO\u2019s missiles on the other side. The U.S. must build more missiles, more drones, more nuclear weapons, and every other sort of weapon to defend the European world against Russia and its ally…<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
