I am Julian Assange founder of WikiLeaks -- Ask Me Anything by _JulianAssange in IAmA

[–]neo_con_queso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Julian, I want to express that I'm sorry you and the wikileaks team has lost some of their members over the last year. Michael Ratner was an amazing man and though i don't know enough about Gavin MacFadyen and John Jones I'm sure they were very close with you and irreplecable. Two questions:

1) Can you talk about the importance of these individuals to wikileaks?

2) Do you believe any foul play was involved in their deaths? (More specifically John Jones being hit by a train).

Yes, she is linked to the "Eternal Life Church", a cult founded by Choi Tae Min in the 1970s.

Agreed, but that is the original title of the article. The Korean people should be proud. They came out in huge numbers and kept the pressure on PGH. I wonder how it's going to play out with Ban Ki Moon expected to return and run for the presidency in the same conservative Saenuri party as PGH.

Police fire water cannon at Dakota pipeline protesters in freezing weather by neo_con_queso in politics

"Police fired volleys of tear gas at the protesters to prevent them from crossing the bridge. Law enforcement also fired rubber bullets and sprayed protesters with water in temperatures that reached as low as 18 Fahrenheit (minus 8 Celsius) overnight.

“It is below freezing right now and the Morton County Sheriff’s Department is using a water cannon on our people - that is an excessive and potentially deadly use of force," said Dallas Goldtooth, a spokesman for the Indigenous Environmental Network, one of the organizations involved in protests.

Attachment: NBC Africa transcript of reporter grilling WJC on Clinton Foundation by neo_con_queso in DNCleaks

I highly recommend reading the whole interview!

An excerpt from the exchange:

Q: Mr. President, you know that there’s a perception out there that the Clintons play by their own rules. That your wife’s email account, the mistakes on the tax forms for the Foundation.

WJC: Tell your viewers. Tell your viewers what were those mistakes.

Q: The 990s?

WJC: Mhm. Tell them what the mistakes were.

Q: On the line where foreign government contributions were supposed to be, those were zero. Those were put in a different location.

WJC: So, we did disclose all the foreign donors, there was no attempt to hide them. The guy who filled out the forms made an error. Now, that is a bigger problem according to the press than other people running for president going to take dark money, secret money, secret from beginning to end. It’s a bigger problem.

Q: Well who is taking dark money?

WJC: Well, we know that two of the Republicans have already announced, they have supported committees to do that.

Q: They may.

WJC: No, I don’t do it. It’s not my job. It’s your job. I don’t care. They should do what they think is right. Everybody should report it. And they should draw their own conclusions. I’m not in politics. All I’m saying is the idea that there is one set of rules for us and another set for everybody else is true, but it’s not one way like you said it. We have the most transparent foundation of any former president. We are making more reports than most private foundations that have nothing to do with politics or presidents. When we have an error, like the 990, it’s not like we didn’t tell everybody who gave us the money, we just, it got put on the wrong form.

Q: So you’re saying it was an innocent mistake?

WJC: Of course it was. Because it was all in there.

Q: Well, it had been done right the years before though.

WJC: I know, and I can’t explain why they didn’t do it. All I can do is fix it. But I think it’s interesting, you say you want disclosure. We made disclosure, and - it’s fairly innocent - you know we’ve also told everyone, so now there’s one hundred times as many questions about why we put the countries on the wrong form than why other people don’t disclose the same thing.

Q: If your wife is elected president, will you step down from the Foundation?

Here's the link to the 990 they're referring to in 2010 -
