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).

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.
GVS Deep Dive Saudi Arabia just secured two of the most powerful assets in modern geopolitics: the U.S. F-35 stealth fighter and tens of thousands of Nvidia’s most advanced AI chips. Washington hoped this would pull Riyadh firmly back into the American orbit. But the outcome is something neither side fully expected: Mohammad bin Salman outplayed both Washington and Beijing — and used the great-power rivalry to his advantage.

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.
globinfo freexchange The former Greek Minister of Finance, Yanis Varoufakis, ended his recent speech on the Future of Capitalism, at the New School, New York, with some interesting remarks. As he said: The world we live in, is increasingly rudderless, in a constant slow burning recession, while at the very same time, the increasing concentration in the IT sector is creating the new technologies that will do that which the Left has failed to do: overthrow Capitalism. It is really very simple. The moment machines pass the Turing test properly, and you pick up the phone and you do not know whether the person you are talking to is a human being or a machine ˙ the moment we are going to have 3D printers operating as public utilities - you can send any blueprint to it and it can print from one pin to a motorcycle, or to a car - the moment that this happens, we have not just a process of Schumpeterian creative destruction, but we have a process where economies of sc...

The Jimmy Dore Show President Donald Trump is planning a White House welcome for Syria’s new president, former al-Qaeda in Iraq leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, who was installed after the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad. Jimmy Dore argues that the U.S. and its allies, including Israel, have long funded extremist groups such as ISIS and al-Qaeda to serve foreign policy interests in the Middle East, so the embrace of al-Sharaa makes sense, even if it might confuse anyone who thought we took seriously the so-called “War on Terror.” He and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger contrast Trump’s willingness to meet with alleged terrorists to his refusal to engage in dialogue with leaders like Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro, accusing U.S. policy of hypocrisy and imperialism.
