The Guardian in the frontline of the establishment media that have declared a dirty and ruthless war against Julian Assange, WikiLeaks and real journalism
The
Guardian has stepped up its contemptible role as one of the main
media conduits for the persecution of Julian Assange, publishing
unsubstantiated and sensationalist allegations that the WikiLeaks
publisher met with American political lobbyist, Paul Manafort.
One of
the two authors of the Guardian article was, predictably, Luke
Harding. Harding has penned a stream of material aimed at undermining
support for Assange and WikiLeaks and attempting to justify the
efforts of the US government to prosecute him for espionage or
conspiracy. Assange aptly described an error-filled 2014 book written
by Harding about whistleblower Edward Snowden and WikiLeaks as a
“hack job in the purest sense of the word.”
The
allegation that Assange met with Manafort is another desperate effort
to implicate WikiLeaks in the lurid claims of the Democratic Party,
US intelligence agencies and much of the media that the Russian
government “interfered” in the 2016 US presidential election to
promote the victory of Donald Trump.
Recall
that when - nearly a year ago - Aaron Maté asked some tough and
"annoying" questions in an interview with Luke Harding
concerning his book Collusion: Secret Meetings, Dirty Money, and
How Russia Helped Donald Trump Win, Harding lost his temper and
left from the interview without giving a straight answer.
Maté
was repeatedly asking about serious evidence that proves the
conclusion and Harding was avoiding to give a straight answer through
almost childish responses like "maybe you could read the rest of
the book when you finish the interview", or, "but you're
clearly a collusion rejectionist". In the end, he became
extremely nervous and left from the interview. Watch to draw your own
conclusions:
BREAKING: @WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange has instructed his lawyers to sue the Guardian for libel over fabricated Manafort story and launched a legal fund to boost the action https://t.co/VaoMESN5RO
Beyond parody: Politico just published an ex-CIA officer, using a pseudonym, who posits that Russia or some other cunning actor planted the Manafort story “to make [Luke] Harding look bad.” (https://t.co/R0WYRwSgSw). Btw, they should probably watch this: (https://t.co/P52sVQT2B2) pic.twitter.com/m7MiPuafEP
Recall
also that on Sept. 21, 2018, The Guardian published an article titled
“Revealed: Russia’s secret plan to help Julian Assange escape
from the UK.” In that story, Guardian reporters Stephanie
Kirchgaessner, Dan Collyns and Luke Harding asserted that Russia had
devised a plot to “smuggle” Assange out of the embassy in a
diplomatic car and then whisk him out of the U.K. The authors also
claimed that Moscow had negotiated the alleged plot with a close
Ecuadorian confidant of Assange and suggested that the scheme raised
“new questions about Assange’s ties to the Kremlin.”
But the
story was an obvious fabrication, intended to justify the agreement
to deprive Assange of his asylum in the embassy by linking him with
the Kremlin. The only alleged evidence it offered was the claim by
unidentified sources that the former Ecuadorian consul on London and
confidant of Assange, Fidel Narvaez, had “served as a point of
contact with Moscow” on the escape plan—a claim that the
Narvaez had flatly denied.
Yanis Varoufakis On 23rd October, Yanis Varoufakis testified in front of the Jury of Conscience in the context of the Gaza Tribunal. His speech focused on the economic forces underpinning the genocide of the Palestinian people. In particular, he spoke on the manner in which capitalist dynamics have historically fuelled the white settler colonial project and, more recently, how the accumulation of a new form of capital - which he calls cloud capital - has accelerated, deepened and amplified the economic forces powering and propelling the machinery of genocide.
Geopolitical Economy Report The US-Israeli war on Iran is expanding into a global conflict. The European Union supports it. The UK is letting Trump use British bases. Germany and France are involved. Canada backs it. Tehran has retaliated, in self-defense, hitting US military bases in Gulf countries. Ben Norton explains.

There is so much misinformation in mainstream corporate media about recent events in Nicaragua that it is a pity that Mary Ellsberg’s article for Pulse has added to it with a seemingly leftish critique. Ellsberg claims that recent articles, including from this website, often “ paint a picture of the crisis in Nicaragua that is dangerously misleading. ” Unfortunately, her own article does just that. It looks at the situation entirely from the perspective of those opposing Daniel Ortega’s government while whitewashing their malevolent behavior and downplaying the levels of US support they have relied on. Her piece is an incomplete depiction of what is happening on the ground, ignoring many salient facts that have come to light and which have been outdated by recent events. The following is a brief response to Ellsberg’s main points from someone who lives in Nicaragua and has observed the situation directly and intimately: https://grayzoneproject.com/2018/08/15/a-res...

GVS Deep Dive At the 2026 Munich Security Conference, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered one of the most consequential foreign policy speeches of the year. Framed as a call for Western renewal, his address went far beyond NATO reassurance — outlining a vision of sovereignty, industrial consolidation, and civilizational confidence that may signal the end of the post-Cold War global order. Is this the beginning of a Second Cold War? Is the West reorganizing around bloc competition? Or are we witnessing the construction of a new world order?
globinfo freexchange According to world famous physicist Stephen Hawking, the rising use of automated machines may mean the end of human rights – not just jobs. But he’s not talking about robots with artificial intelligence taking over the world, he’s talking about the current capitalist political system and its major players. On Reddit, Hawking said that the economic gap between the rich and the poor will continue to grow as more jobs are automated by machines, and the owners of said machines hoard them to create more wealth for themselves. The insatiable thirst for capitalist accumulation bestowed upon humans by years of lies and terrible economic policy has affected technology in such a way that one of its major goals has become to replace human jobs. If we do not take this warning seriously, we may face unfathomable corporate domination. If we let the same people who buy and sell our political system and resources maintain control of automated technology, the...
