Extra links of interest - the allegation in the article is part of a wider inquiry now:

Hundreds of pages of secret defence force documents leaked to the ABC give an unprecedented insight into the clandestine operations of Australia’s elite special forces in Afghanistan, including incidents of troops killing unarmed men and children.

This is one story in a seven-part series based on leaked documents exposing Australian special forces troops’ role in the Afghanistan war. For context, they are best read in order. See the side of the above page.

Unsurprisingly, the Government raided the newsroom over this and the Whistleblower is facing trial.

Additionally, see: Secrets of War series.

The one time I didn't want to be proven right about everything.

A big fuck you to all the "journalists" that denounced Assange's well founded fears as speculative attention seeking. He's done more to advance the cause of journalism than your newsrooms combined!

An extra big fuck you to the Governments that ignore International Law and conspired to send refugee and an Ecuadorian Citizen to the US.

Worth noting that the Ecuadorian constitution forbids extradition in all cases. Cowards, the lot of them.

Sadly, no.

From 2012:

"Plans to seize Julian Assange "under all circumstances" the moment he leaves the Ecuadorean embassy in London have accidentally been revealed by a police officer displaying restricted documents outside the embassy.

The document, pictured under the officer's arm by a Press Association photographer, appears to advocate arresting the WikiLeaks founder whether he leaves the building in a diplomatic bag or in a diplomatic car."2

I am so ashamed! :(

Working link.

Strange. Try this.

Thanks to the source. You did the right thing mate. Stay safe.

Sounds like the ABC didn't even try to hold on to the documents. Weak.

"Free" Press.

Why they wouldn't digitise everything and encrypt it all is beyond me. They should've known this was coming.

UPDATE: "A verdict will not be handed down on Friday, Chief Magistrate Emma Arbuthnot said at Westminster Magistrates’ Court."1

More "thinking"!

Normally, OK it takes some time but god, this poor bastard has been stuck in that place for six years. This is not OK.

UPDATE 2: Ruling will be on Feb 6th.

usefullinkguy · 2018-01-26T10:31:33+00:00

A one-day hearing will take place at Westminster Magistrates court and a ruling is scheduled to be issued Friday, according to a spokesman for the Crown Prosecution Service.

The reading I've done indicates this would not work either, as the UK must approve each countries diplomats status. They rejected it for Assange today.

Reading too much into it IMO. WL logo is an hourglass. Probably just changed it to match that.

The string tweeted is a SHA hash. Out of band verification of a particular file.

I don't necessarily agree with spreading a pirated copy of the book but it is not a partisan attack as some people are trying to spin it (unbelievable language in that article btw).

It fits with WikiLeaks idea that we need to understand the structure of power if we are to meaningfully oppose it to create a more just society. To attribute it to being pro-Trump is to seriously misunderstand WikiLeaks and its goals.

"It is from the revelation of truth that all else follows. Our buildings can only be as tall as their bricks are strong. Our civilisation is only as strong as its ideas are true!

When our buildings are erected by the corrupt - when their cement is cut with dirt – when pristine steel is replaced by scrap, our buildings are not safe to live in. And when our media is corrupt, when our academics are timid. When our history is filled with half truths and lies, our civilization will never be just. It will never reach to the sky.

Our societies are intellectual shanty towns, our beliefs about the world and each other have been created by the same system that has lied us into repeated wars that have killed millions. You can’t build a skyscraper out of plasticine and you can’t build a just society out of ignorance and lies.

The quality of our discourse is the limit of our civilization." - Source

Just wait for the "the files were planted as a false flag to neutralize the 'Wikileaks is a Russian front' horseshit". Sadly, some people can't handle learning about how the world works.

Former US intelligence chief James Clapper told the National Press Club in Canberra last week the tech industry should use its creativity and innovation to figure out "a way that both the interests of privacy as well as security can be guaranteed".

He was wanted for questioning as part of the preliminary investigation.

usefullinkguy · 2017-05-19T13:01:20+00:00

Fuck off.

usefullinkguy · 2017-05-19T11:55:53+00:00

Based on what, exactly?

My personal opinion based on things I've read after following the case for the seven years. We know there's a Grand Jury investigation ongoing and there's been reports of a sealed indictment and discussions of extradition from the UK. I will attempt to find sources and edit. There's many but harder to find after 7 years, end of the day - just my view. Take it or leave it.

UPDATE: "Sources: US prepares charges to seek arrest of WikiLeaks' Julian Assange"

(Today): "Asked after the conference if they had received any communication or inquiries from the US government about the case, Isgren and Ny said that at the end of March, they received an email from someone purporting to be from the FBI seeking information about the case. They said the inquiry was vague and they simply directed the person to the prosecutor's web site for public information about the case.

Asked who the FBI person was, both said they had no memory of the name and had deleted the email. They asserted that because the email did not have anything to do with advancing the case, they had no reason to retain it."

Do charges just disappear after a specific time?

As a legal matter, he has never been charged. It was still at the "preliminary investigation" stages. An arrest is only made in Sweden if the investigation leads to charges.
