In an interview with the Arabic-language version of al-Jazeera, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange revealed that a large number of the documents that his organization is in possession of prove that top officials across the Arab world have been spying on their own governments on behalf of the CIA.
“These officials are spies for the US in their countries,” reported Assange, adding that there was also information proving allegations that the US regularly sends “suspects” to some nations for torture.
The interviewer, Ahmed Mansour, confirmed during the interview that Assange had personally shown him some of the documents backing up his allegations. Neither, however, provided any specific names (though Assange’s comments implied Egypt was one of the nations involved).
The lack of names was deliberate, according to Assange, who said that his organization is trying to protect itself by trickling out only small portions of its documents, and with names removed. He added that the organization was ready to name names and release documents en masse if he winds up assassinated. A number of top US politicans have openly called for his killing.
Something I knew all the time, but without actual prove. Thanks, WikLeaks givig us a reference.
IMHO, especially Egypt, Jordan, and Kuweit would not exist in this way without its connection to CIA. What, on the other side, makes all the talk of the US about "democracy" a joke!
Standing up to the empire, one person, Assange and he knows how to play hardball. The Empire is shaking in its boots and have just ordered a diaper change for themselves. What a great example, it gives meaning to one person can make a difference, although it is the Wikileaks organization not Assange that gathered and released this information. The USG strategy of making Assange the focal point is a failed strategy and will never admit it. If the empire can't stop a single person, like OBL has done, from successfully rebelling against it they are at a loss of what to do. He's too high profile to kill now and the incompetence and malfeasance of empire has been laid bare for those whom "have eyes to see and ears to hear".
"…He's too high profile to kill now…"
This notion is certainly widely held, and I'm inclined to agree, but I'm still not sure why that should be. What exactly is the criteria both for killing and for being too high profile to kill?
Clearly, anyone with the authority to order his assassination needn't worry about being arrested — about being held "legally" accountable. There would be some political consequences, but how do you calculate that, and how bad could it be? Certainly killing Assange would have an effect on others inclined to do the same thing, but it's not clear whether it would intimidate similar-minded folks or rouse them to action. And finally, as a practical matter, killing Assange wouldn't slow down or stop the release of documents, the formation of other "leaking" organizations(which we're already seeing without Assange's assassination), and would certainly result in the immediate release of the "insurance" file.
It's a complex matter, but those who would kill him face no material obstacle.
it is always dangerous to set off bombs in the bomb factory…. With Empires financial and military house of cards, any wind could be the "ONE"… There are many ways to fail, but to do so by unforced error, it is the biggest crime of all………!!!!!!!!!!!
It's like the case with Yasser Arafat. Here was a known terrorist leader, or so said Israel, who was never finished off by the vaunted Mossad even when he could have easily been done in with. Either he was too "high profile" or else a bought and paid for Mossad or CIA asset. Makes you wonder.
You're certainly right, traffic accident or some other "accident" could be arranged. Bring to mind a book a read after once visiting the USSR, "Red Square", in 1984. The book was about a Moscow special prosecutor investigating criminal activity of a high ranking Communist Party official. His investigation was being impeded by the KGB and other government agencies in attempts to stop it. The prosecutor was relentless and finally after overcoming the hurdles thrown at him, case was about to go to trial and he was feeling good about his work while driving in East Berlin, when suddenly a large truck emerges from a side street, hits the car on the drivers side, killing the special prosecutor instantly. Who was it that said, "it can happen here" about NAZISM in American, Upton Sinclair, one of the Sinclair's anyway.It was Einstein who said their are two infinities, human stupidity and the universe and "I'm not certain of the Universe" You are right, no consequences.
"a large number of the documents that his organization is
in possession of prove that top officials across the Arab world have been spying on their own governments on behalf of the CIA." What a surprise, I wonder if any of them beat their wives…??
Julian Assange is being radicalized….. No it's not some shadowy Islamic group…. American or Euro leftys whispering in his ear…….. It is in reality FAR worse than any of those and vastly more insidious than some outside provocateurs….. He is being radicalized in the same way Bradley Manning was radicalized…..By the unfathomable depravity of America and it's Middle Eastern spoiled child., Their true unvarnished conduct in the world which the cables are exposing, that is what is radicalizing him…..them…..more and more people…. The LIES are being exposed…
Keeping the world safe for democracy is one thing… Keeping the world safe for the theft of a country that has 1,4OO,OOO,OOO co-religionists neighbors and natural allies by expropriation of their land AND soft core genocide on the people who have been there thousands of years, is not a pretty business…..E.G. http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/World-News/Israe… Whole nations and great societies of tens…even hundreds of millions of people are and have been bought off and co-opted, sold out, attacked and dragged down to satisfy those who desire to usurp the existing borders and destroy regional consensus by force….. Once great nations, enslaved by clever policy , devious treaties and the countries that devote half their treasure to their offensive might. The great bullies and their foreign assets are proud of their swath of death and destruction. They see ut as a warning to others to follow their craven edicts and submit…. Yes America has become what Americans have been taught to hate, the hegemonic oppressor aggressor…… The U.S. has become everything that just and honest people detest, a lying, murdering torturing manipulating lawless rogue… Julian Assange has seen America's true face in those cables..
Liberalism and what is called falsified democracy is the reasons behind all the killings and US militarism regime is been doing it for a long time. The anti democracy, a true and a functioning one, never existed in US.., therefore US always hade a excuses for and to creating a war to defeat the enemy.., now who is that enemy is yet to be known. Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and now Barak Obama is yet another example of lies and deceptive motives by Liberals and Democrats acting as socialist and or communists and etc. yet to make people more into the system economical – capitalism slavery then ever before. Look, if democracy ever existed in US, a nation of grate achievements’ a hard working men and women would never needed to go and beg for their food at what is called Food Banks, people would never see a hungry man and children being homeless, there are millions of them out there.. that’s not democracy nor is liberalism but rather used and abused words by those who benefit in saving money for the government while the peoples money are paid to CIA which pay those who spy on their nations.
Nothing new here Ditz!
Slowly but surely the sinews which hold together the FedGov's empire are coming to light. The degree to which the puppet states have been compromised so that Washington can obtain results to its liking is astounding, because these networks cannot be of recent vintage. It is truly mind-boggling that the FedGov was able to keep it all hidden for so long, even though it became obvious long ago that the "miraculous" nature of US diplomacy was not what it seemed on the surface. What a festering cesspool of depravity and corruption makes it all possible!
The worldwide bribery by the USG of other countries became blatantly obvious during the Bush gangster regime. Country voices support for USG atrocities, Colin Powell the Secretary of State goes to country and announces foreign aid package for that country. Or military aid is granted. Foreign bribery is preferred because the graft and corruption kickbacks can easily be concealed and the corruption is centralized thereby making it efficient. All the while Americans protest foreign aid for all the wrong reasons. The reason it will continue, the graft and corruption is to easy because it's impossible to audit.
And many top US officials are Mossad spies.
The thing that most worries the "powers that be" (government, corporate, and bankers) is unauthorized whistleblowing because they lose control of the message.
Assange says the Arabs are spying for the CIA? An even bigger question is how many Americans in high level US government positions are spying for the Mossad? The potential for exposure of the latter is what really worries some people and Israel. Would the USA media even publish it if it was divulged? Hopefully Al Jazeera or the international media would publish it, although the media ain't what it used to be.
"…how many Americans in high level US government positions are spying for the Mossad?"
When this question is eventually answered, how many will say, "So what?. Nothing new here. Everyone already knew that. What planet are you from? Move right along."
Yep! When faced with the facts the totalitarian always says as much. Lying, cover up, murder etc. are so fundamental to their "reality" that its normal to them.
Oh my! Such a revolting development.
Why on earth doesn't Assange release those revelations, spies, and torture, instead of all the other worthless crap? The guy is a fraud.
Be patient, Russ. So far he's done good, and done it with smarts. Wait for it, and enjoy.
Gees, Russ, You wouldn't want JA to shoot his wad and slink off to Ecuador….. Would you….?? We need him around and vita with his courage, to fumigate the odious cant of the empire…& "O"………

Good to read the comments on this site.Unfortunately I don't find much of this in the mainstream media,here's hoping that will change in the new year.
"Many Top Arab Officials Are CIA Spies"
Yeah, So What?
Most of these Arab officials are probably triple or quadruple agents taking payoffs from all the major powers. That is how they supplement their income. They have no loyalty to the US, and if a few of them are outed and killed on the Arab street, it will be no big loss to the US. Whoever replaces them will take the same payoffs from the same world powers. Assange may have delusions of grandeur here. He actually imagines that he has some leverage over the USA with his "insurance" file. I hate to break this to you Assange supporters, but he is nothing but a gnat, and the USA will eventually deal with him by either extradition or assassination.
