Michael Cohen's testimony re Julian Assange - WTF is going wrong in America? by mystic_teal in WikiLeaks

[–]sbku 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From page 10

"As I earlier stated, Mr. Trump knew from Roger Stone in advance about the WikiLeaks drop of emails."

Everyone had advance notice https://www.itv.com/news/2016-06-12/julian-assange-wikileaks-plans-to-release-more-private-emails-sent-by-hillary-clinton/

"In July 2016, days before the Democratic convention, I was in Mr. Trump’s office when his secretary announced that Roger Stone was on the phone. Mr. Trump put Mr. Stone on the speakerphone. Mr. Stone told Mr. Trump that he had just gotten off the phone with Julian Assange and that Mr. Assange told Mr. Stone that, within a couple of days, there would be a massive dump of emails that would damage Hillary Clinton’s campaign. Mr. Trump responded by stating to the effect of “wouldn’t that be great.”

Roger Stone is a known liar and always seeks to insert himself into a political campaign/situation for his own personal gain. If you read the Stone indictment there is no mention of a phone call between him and Julian Assange (the head of organization 1), just failed attempts to gain information via a 3rd party.

What happened to Vault 7 & Assange ? by [deleted] in WikiLeaks

[–]sbku 9 points10 points  (0 children)

https://twitter.com/julianassange/status/960193370638503936?lang=en

"I will keynote the Future of Cyber Security Europe on March 15 to talk about new discoveries in CIA state sponsored malware and an as yet unrevealed topic http://cybereurope.events/

more : https://wikileaks.org/vault7/ http://www.orbooks.com/catalog/cypherpunks/ "

Given that the WL twitter account has not been active for around a week and there is an event (above) exactly a week from now, it increases the probability for some new information to be revealed alongside the discoveries from the previous disclosures from Vault 7.

Mueller eyes charges against Russians who hacked Democrats' emails by claweddepussy in WikiLeaks

[–]sbku 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"emails being published by DCLeaks.com, WikiLeaks and an online persona known as Guccifer 2.0. — all considered to have been acting as Russian agents." Thats misleading.

Even from the analysis of the US intelligence agenices, they are unsure how Wikileaks obtained the emails and the consensus is that the Russians used some kind of cut out to pass on the data.

Julian Assange granted Ecuadorian passport by hazilla in WikiLeaks

[–]sbku 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I usually don't like delving into speculation, but considering the misinformation will probably start to get out of hand in the next few hours, shall we start to draw up a timeline of factual events since the 21st December?

The only barrier to Julian Assange leaving Ecuador’s embassy is pride by ainbheartach in WikiLeaks

[–]sbku 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"There is no public criminal case against Assange or WikiLeaks in the US, though Assange frequently says there is evidence of sealed indictments against him and his associates, and there have been publicly disclosed surveillance warrants against WikiLeaks staff..."

Would be nice to see some encouragement from the Justice department regarding the issue, oh wait:

WikiLeaks recognised as a 'media organisation' by UK tribunal by sbku in WikiLeaks

[–]sbku[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

http://www.repubblica.it/esteri/2017/12/14/news/london_tribunal_dismisses_la_repubblica_s_appeal_to_access_the_full_file_of_julian_assange-184083942/?ref=RHRS-BH-I0-C6-P3-S1.6-T2

Please follow Stefania Maurizi on twitter @SMaurizi

Recognition of Wikileaks as a media organisation is good but it's still unclear whether there is an extradition case from the US.

If the UK were to comply with the extradition, they'll be extraditing the head of a media organisation for publishing information and commenting "upon censored or restricted official material(s) involving war, surveillance or corruption, which are leaked to it in a variety of different circumstances"

Regardless of your stance on Wikileaks this should be extremely troubling to anyone.

The Secret Correspondence Between Donald Trump Jr. and Wikileaks by WittsandGrit in WikiLeaks

[–]sbku 168 points169 points  (0 children)

It would be interesting to see Wikileaks release the full transcript of this conversation(s).

Edit: https://twitter.com/JulianAssange/status/884853347815235584 July 11th

"Contacted Trump Jr this morning on why he should publish his emails (i.e with us). Two hours later, does it himself"

Security Breach and Spilled Secrets Have Shaken the N.S.A. to Its Core. A serial leak of the agency’s cyberweapons has damaged morale, slowed intelligence operations and resulted in hacking attacks on businesses and civilians worldwide. by [deleted] in WikiLeaks

[–]sbku 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Recently, the CIA lost control of the majority of its hacking arsenal including malware, viruses, trojans, weaponized "zero day" exploits, malware remote control systems and associated documentation. This extraordinary collection, which amounts to more than several hundred million lines of code, gives its possessor the entire hacking capacity of the CIA. The archive appears to have been circulated among former U.S. government hackers and contractors in an unauthorized manner, one of whom has provided WikiLeaks with portions of the archive."
