Publishing stolen material: WikiLeaks, the DNC and freedom of speech : Comments

By Binoy Kampmark, published 2/8/2019

The case presented in the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York was never convincing but remains an aspect of a broader effort to inculpate WikiLeaks and Julian Assange in assisting the Trump campaign triumph.

Contact with Wikileaks left Manning out to dry.

Contact with Wikileaks is a life sentence for Snowden (in cold authoritarian Russia or out of it).

But Assange will get off in 2025, pardoned when Trump leaves office, if not sooner.

Pete,

Again your logic is incorrect.

Both Manning and Snowden knew exactly what they were undertaking and the risks/results from which such action would result. Both intelligent people.

Blaming Assange or Wikileaks is like blaming the cart after the horse has...well you should know the remainder, or aren’t you that bright?

Would you believe WIKILEAKS THREATENS COURT ACTION - ATTEMPTING TO CENSOR JOURNALISTS' FREEDOM OF SPEECH

In a move to prevent real journalists from doing to Wikileaks what Wikileaks does every day to Democratic governments, January 7, 2019 http://www.pressgazette.co.uk/wikileaks-emails-journalists-with-97-false-and-defamatory-claims-to-avoid-in-reporting-on-founder-julian-assange/

Wikileaks emailed journalists with a list of 97 “false and defamatory” statements about its founder/publisher Julian Assange after claiming efforts to defame him had “reached a new nadir”.

It said the number of “false and defamatory” claims made against Assange had “accelerated” since his internet access at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he has lived for more than six years, was cut off last year.

This rise was “perhaps because of an incorrect view that Mr Assange, due to his grave personal circumstances, can no longer defend his reputation”, it said in the email sent out to journalists.

Before listing 97 “false and defamatory” claims about Assange and Wikileaks itself, the email concluded: “The purpose of this list is to aid the honest and accurate and to put the dishonest and inaccurate on notice.”

It is believed that the list originally contained 140 claims, but the version published by Wikileaks today had some sections taken out."

WIKILEAK'S ITSELF PLACED A SECURITY CAVEAT on its Email List as “NOT FOR PUBLICATION”

But Wikileaks was forced to make the Email List (reproduced here http://pastelink.net/m69m ) public after the List was

LEAKED by JOURNALISTS who DEFIED WIKILEAK's LEGAL THREATS.
