There
Is No Case Against Julian Assange So Lies Take
the Place of Evidence

Julian Assange is not guilty of any crime. But
Washington is going to convict him anyway.
Documents are being fabricated to show that
Assange met inside the Ecuadoran Embassy in
London with Paul Manafort and some Russians.
The
logs of all visits to the Embassy have been
released and show no such meetings.
This
latest fabrication was dumped on the public by
the Guardian, formerly a leftwing newspaper but
today a MI6 asset. Luke Harding who was leaked
the fake documents is either extremely gullible
or himself a MI6 asset.
The
purpose of the leak is to create in the public’s
mind that Assange was involved in “Russiagate”
along with Trump and Putin. The fact that no
evidence has been found that Russiagate exists
except as a made-up allegation to justify a
special prosecutor to investigate President
Trump has not stopped the continued use of this
canard.
Washington and London are relying on the
public’s insouciance to shield their
shamelessness.
Julian
Assange’s life has been ruined because he was a
professional journalist who told the truth
instead of serving as a shill for the ruling
elite. Now the intention is to give him a show
trial and to convict him without evidence,
relying on presstitutes to spread fake evidence
that a meeting that did not occur occurred and
with no explanation of how such a meeting if it
had actuallly occurred would constitute
espionage.
Former
British ambassador Craig Murry explains the
shameful use of government power against an
innocent person that has been unfolding under
our eyes for the last six years. What is being
done to Assange is as bad as any of Stalin’s
show trials and is worse because it is happening
in full view in front of Western Democracy.

Assange Never Met Manafort. Luke Harding and the
Guardian Publish Still More Blatant MI6 Lies
By
Craig Murray
The
right wing Ecuadorean government of President
Moreno continues to churn out its production
line of fake documents regarding Julian Assange,
and channel them straight to MI6 mouthpiece Luke
Harding of the Guardian.
Amazingly, more Ecuadorean Government documents
have just been discovered for the Guardian, this
time spy agency reports detailing visits of Paul
Manafort and unspecified “Russians” to the
Embassy. By a wonderful coincidence of timing,
this is the day after Mueller announced that
Manafort’s plea deal was over.
The
problem with this latest fabrication is that
Moreno had already released the visitor logs to
the Mueller inquiry. Neither Manafort nor these
“Russians” are in the visitor logs.
This is
impossible. The visitor logs were not kept by
Wikileaks, but by the very strict Ecuadorean
security. Nobody was ever admitted without being
entered in the logs. The procedure was very
thorough. To go in, you had to submit your
passport (no other type of document was
accepted). A copy of your passport was taken and
the passport details entered into the log. Your
passport, along with your mobile phone and any
other electronic equipment, was retained until
you left, along with your bag and coat. I
feature in the logs every time I visited.
There
were no exceptions. For an exception to be made
for Manafort and the “Russians” would have had
to be a decision of the Government of Ecuador,
not of Wikileaks, and that would be so
exceptional the reason for it would surely have
been noted in the now leaked supposed Ecuadorean
“intelligence report” of the visits. What
possible motive would the Ecuadorean government
have for facilitating secret unrecorded visits
by Paul Manafort? Furthermore it is impossible
that the intelligence agency – who were in
charge of the security – would not know the
identity of these alleged “Russians”.
Previously Harding and the Guardian have
published documents faked by the Moreno
government regarding a diplomatic appointment to
Russia for Assange of which he had no knowledge.
Now they follow this up with more documents
aimed to provide fictitious evidence to bolster
Mueller’s pathetically failed attempt to
substantiate the story that Russia deprived
Hillary of the Presidency.
My
friend William Binney, probably the world’s
greatest expert on electronic surveillance,
former Technical Director of the NSA, has stated
that it is impossible the DNC servers were
hacked, the technical evidence shows it was a
download to a directly connected memory stick. I
knew the US security services were conducting a
fake investigation the moment it became clear
that the FBI did not even themselves look at the
DNC servers, instead accepting a report from the
Clinton linked DNC “security consultants”
Crowdstrike.
I would
love to believe that the fact Julian has never
met Manafort is bound to be established. But I
fear that state control of propaganda may be
such that this massive “Big Lie” will come to
enter public consciousness in the same way as
the non-existent Russian hack of the DNC
servers.
Assange
never met Manafort. The DNC emails were
downloaded by an insider. Assange never even
considered fleeing to Russia. Those are the
facts, and I am in a position to give you a
personal assurance of them.
I can
also assure you that Luke Harding, the Guardian,
Washington Post and New York Times have been
publishing a stream of deliberate lies, in
collusion with the security services.
I am
not a fan of Donald Trump. But to see the
partisans of the defeated candidate (and a
particularly obnoxious defeated candidate)
manipulate the security services and the media
to create an entirely false public perception,
in order to attempt to overturn the result of
the US Presidential election, is the most
astonishing thing I have witnessed in my
lifetime.
Plainly
the government of Ecuador is releasing lies
about Assange to curry favour with the security
establishment of the USA and UK, and to damage
Assange’s support prior to expelling him from
the Embassy. He will then be extradited from
London to the USA on charges of espionage.
Assange
is not a whistleblower or a spy – he is the
greatest publisher of his age, and has done more
to bring the crimes of governments to light than
the mainstream media will ever be motivated to
achieve. That supposedly great newspaper titles
like the Guardian, New York Times and Washington
Post are involved in the spreading of lies to
damage Assange, and are seeking his imprisonment
for publishing state secrets, is clear evidence
that the idea of the “liberal media” no longer
exists in the new plutocratic age. The press are
not on the side of the people, they are an
instrument of elite control.
