Alexander Bouz von der Piratenpartei erklärt, warum Julian Assange für ihn ein Held ist, er aber für Wikileaks eigentlich nicht von großer Bedeutung ist
rågan är varför Lindskog håller detta tal och varför svenska staten genom sin ambassad sponsrar det? Kan det vara för att få Assange inse att han inte har något att frukta om han frivilligt överlämnar sig till den svenska rättsapparaten? Ett slags PR-resa down under! Enligt uppgift har dock talet fått motsatt effekt på Assange!

British Home Secretary Priti Patel has signed off on WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s extradition to the US. His legal team now has just 14 days to appeal the decision, which journalist Peter Hitchens rightly branded “a total and unmitigated disgrace” shaming Britain. If unsuccessful, he faces up to 175 years in a supermax prison.
AAP/Sidney Herald 27 Nov 13: "The Washington Post last week quoted US officials saying there was not a sealed indictment against Assange. But the former computer hacker has long maintained the US has issued such a document as well as a sealed extradition order. Assange insists he'd be arrested by British police and taken to the US if he left Ecuador's diplomatic mission"

Neither Carl Bildt nor Marianne Ny would explain how or why it is illegal under Swedish law to question Mr Assange via telephone, video conference, or in person. With no explanation on their behalf, the EU promoting the use of Mutual Legal Assistance, and a document explaining how to achieve information this way, it opens the door for speculation as to why Sweden refuses to question Mr Assange.
(In englischer Sprache) - Die WikiLeaks-Veröffentlichung dieses Textes erfolgte im Vorfeld der entscheidenden Verhandlungen des TTP-Gipfels in Salt Lake City, die vom 19. - 24. November 2013 stattfanden. Die von WikiLeaks veröffentlichten Kapitel sind wohlmöglich ein umstrittender Teil der TPP aufgrund seiner weitreichenden Auswirkungen auf Medikamente, Verlage, Internetdienste, Bürgerliche Freiheiten und biologische Patente. Der Text enthält die Verhandlungspositionen und Meinungsverschiedenheiten von allen interessierten 12 Mitgliedsstaaten.
WikiLeaks investigation editor Sarah Harrison has coordinated the publication of millions of documents. She also saved Edward Snowden's life. She is currently not returning to the UK for reasons revealed in this interview with Alexa O'Brien at re:publica 14.
Sweden will soon hold the Stockholm Internet Forum to discuss global development and global surveillance. The forum will open on 26 May and will be held in the famed Stadshuset, site of the annual Nobel banquet. The motto of the conference will be 'Internet Freedom for Global Development'.
Today, WikiLeaks released the secret draft text for the Trade in Services Agreement (TISA) Financial Services Annex, which covers 50 countries and 68.2%1 of world trade in services. The US and the EU are the main proponents of the agreement, and the authors of most joint changes, which also covers cross-border data flow. In a significant anti-transparency manoeuvre by the parties, the draft has been classified to keep it secret not just during the negotiations but for five years after the TISA enters into force.
Thursday 16 October 2014, WikiLeaks released a second updated version of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Intellectual Property Rights Chapter. The TPP is the world's largest economic trade agreement that will, if it comes into force, encompass more than 40 per cent of the world's GDP. The IP Chapter covers topics from pharmaceuticals, patent registrations and copyright issues to digital rights. Experts say it will affect freedom of information, civil liberties and access to medicines globally.
WikiLeaks releases today the "Investment Chapter" from the secret negotiations of the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) agreement.The TPP Investment Chapter, published today, is dated 20 January 2015. The document is classified and supposed to be kept secret for four years after the entry into force of the TPP agreement or, if no agreement is reached, for four years from the close of the negotiations.

Die Enthüllungsplattform Wikileaks sammelt Spenden, um Informanten zur Preisgabe von Informationen über das umstrittene Freihandelsabkommen TTIP zu bewegen. Gespendet haben zahlreiche Prominente - etwa Griechenlands Ex-Minister Yanis Varoufakis oder Vivienne Westwood.
Mit einem neuen Vorschlag wollen die EU-Verhandler angeblich Sozial- und Umweltstandards und sogar das Streikrecht in das Freihandelsabkommen reklamieren.
Während es in Paris um Weltrettung geht, wird in Genf Tisa verhandelt. Das Freihandelsabkommen könnte den Klimaschutz torpedieren.
In Paris sieht es derzeit nicht gut aus für die Kohle-, Öl- und Gaskonzerne: Immer mehr Investoren ziehen sich zurück, und ein neues Klimaabkommen könnte die Aussichten der Branche weiter verschlechtern.

8.2.2011 Sedan kort tid tillbaka finns nu hela häktningspromemorian i fallet Julian Assange. Den inkluderar förhör med de båda kvinnorna, plus förhör med hela nio vittnen. Flera av förhören är en juridisk-politisk bomb, eftersom det finns minst tre, fyra olika versioner av vad som hände. Det kommer att göra det mycket svårt för en svensk domstol att döma i fallet och åklagaren står därmed med mycket svaga kort.
Interview by John Robles.Oct 22, 2012 11:00 Moscow Time "In an exclusive interview to the Voice of Russia a member of Anonymous talks about the conflict that revolves around the coercive fund raising techniques and a lack of transparency regarding WikiLeaks. He also mentions the possible release of a list of what they view as WikiLeaks ethical violations. On December 21, 2012 Anonymous are planning to launch a secure, no cost and decentralized online leaks release platform called TYLER to circumvent to problems inherent in WikiLeaks and to continue to disclose information that governments, including US, are hiding from people."

Tuesday, April 17. Timeline – 15:30 Moscow time, 11:30 GMT RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan : "RT is rallying a global audience of open minded people who question what they see in mainstream media and we are proud to premiere Julian Assange's new project. We provided Julian a platform to reach the world and gave him total editorial freedom. He is absolutely the right person to bring alternative opinions to our viewers around the globe."
Slavoj ZiZek: Julian Assange has been silenced again, and the timing is most suspicious. With the Cambridge Analytica story dominating the news, it seems some powerful people have reasons to keep the brave WikiLeaks boss quiet right now.

Since going into voluntary incarceration at the Ecuadorean Embassy in Knightsbridge in July last year, the 41-year-old Australian has devoted weeks, days and hours organising his tilt at one of Victoria's Senate seats. Six of the 12 are up for grabs on September 14. ... A quota for election of a senator is around 16 per cent of the State vote or, after distribution of preferences, some 450,000 votes. ... Assange strategists are focused on not only building a competitive primary vote but also attracting a swag of preferences from disgruntled Labor voters, Greens, former Australian Democrats and even Liberal libertarians.
The Post's view: "RAFAEL CORREA, a small-time South American autocrat, may smell a political opportunity. Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan populist who has been his political mentor, appears to be dying of cancer. That means the role of chief Yanqui-baiter and friend-to-rogues, which Mr. Chavez has modeled for the past dozen years, may soon come open. Mr. Correa, who has been president of Ecuador since 2007, has been doing his best to establish his bona fides: In January, for example, he hosted Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Quito."

Independent Member for Clark, Andrew Wilkie, has called on the Prime Minister to use his Washington trip to negotiate the release of Australian journalist Julian Assange with his new partners in the AUKUS alliance.
“Mr Assange should be at home with his young family, watching his two little boys grow up,” Mr Wilkie said. “But instead he’s languishing in one of the United Kingdom’s most notorious prisons after recently losing a British High Court battle to stop the United States Government from expanding its appeal against an earlier refusal to allow his extradition. A full appeal hearing is expected next month.
"Bank of America joins in the actions previously announced by MasterCard, PayPal, Visa Europe and others and will not process transactions of any type that we have reason to believe are intended for WikiLeaks," the bank said in a statement.
Originally aired March 21, 2012 on BBC Two. Richard Bilton uncovers a struggle at the heart of US diplomacy between the ideals of freedom and spreading democracy, and the ruthless demands of American security and narrow self-interest. He examines what the WikiLeaks cables reveal about America's conflicted dealings with Egypt's deposed dictator Hosni Mubarak, and shows how US diplomats in Cairo missed warning signs that revolution in Egypt was coming.
At a news conference in Quito on Wednesday, Mr Patino said a letter from the UK government was delivered through a British embassy official. "Today we received from the United Kingdom an express threat, in writing, that they might storm our Embassy in London if we don't hand over Julian Assange," he said.

In der Voruntersuchung vor einem Militärgericht in Fort Meade hat sich der US-Soldat Bradley Manning in 10 von 22 Anklagepunkten für schuldig erklärt. Den zentralen Anklagepunkt, ein Staatsfeind zu sein, wies Manning jedoch zurück. Der 25-Jährige verzichtete auf sein Recht zu schweigen und las eine 35 Seiten lange Erklärung seines Handelns vor.
by Glenn Greenwald, guardian.co.uk, Comment is Free, Saturday 27 April. He draws attention to the sponsors of the Pride parade: Verizon, AT&T, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Clear Channel, and concludes: "So apparently, the very high-minded ethical standards of Lisa L Williams and the SF Pride Board apply only to young and powerless Army Privates who engage in an act of conscience against the US war machine, but instantly disappear for large corporations and banks that hand over cash. What we really see here is how the largest and most corrupt corporations own not just the government but also the culture." "Equating illegal behavior with ignominious behavior is the defining mentality of an authoritarian - and is particularly notable coming from what was once viewed as a bastion of liberal dissent."
Ed Pilkington, Guardian 22.2.: America doesn't seem to have woken up to this yet, but the prosecution of Bradley Manning poses the greatest threat to freedom of speech and the press in this country in at least a generation. The "aiding the enemy" count essentially accuses Manning of handing information to Osama bin Laden as a necessary consequence of the act of leaking state secrets that would end up on the internet. When one of the prosecution lawyers was asked whether the government would still have gone after Manning had he leaked to the New York Times instead of WikiLeaks, she unhesitatingly replied: "Yes". If that's not a threat to the first amendment, then what is?
Philip Dorling, in National Times (Aus), October 29, 2010: "Most accounts of the Occupy movement focus on the Canadian-based Adbusters Media Foundation's proposal in July for a peaceful occupation of Wall Street to protest against corporate influence on democracy. Activists from the Anonymous hacktivist collective also encouraged followers to take part in the protest, calling on protesters to ''flood lower Manhattan, set up tents, kitchens, peaceful barricades and occupy Wall Street''. However, investigations of the pattern of internet activism over the past year indicate the origins of the Occupy movement are to be found earlier, in the wave of activity generated by WikiLeaks last year as it released US Army helicopter gunship footage from the war in Iraq, US military war logs from Afghanistan and Iraq and more than 250,000 classified US State Department cables."
