CIA chief targets WikiLeaks and Julian Assange as ‘hostile,’ vows to take action by Tim Johnson.
From the post:
CIA Director Mike Pompeo on Thursday called the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks a hostile intelligence service and said the group would soon face decisive U.S. action to stifle its disclosures of leaked material.
“It ends now,” Pompeo said in his first public remarks after 10 weeks on the job, indicating that President Donald Trump will take undefined but forceful action.
Pompeo lashed out aggressively against Julian Assange, the Australian founder of WikiLeaks – who has been holed up in the Ecuadorean embassy in London for nearly five years – calling him a narcissist and “a fraud, a coward hiding behind a screen.”
…
Really?
Given the perennial failure of the CIA to discover terror attacks before they happen, recognize when governments are about to fall, and maintain their own security, I can’t imagine Assange and Wikileaks are shaking in their boots.
I disagree with Wikileaks on their style of leaking, I prefer faster and unedited leaking but that’s a question of style and not whether to leak.
If, and it’s a big if, Wikileaks is silenced, the world will grow suddenly darker. Much of what Wikileaks has published would not be published by main stream media, much to the detriment of citizens around the world.
Two things you need to do:
The easy one, donate to support WikiLeaks. As often as you can.
The harder one, leak secrets to Wikileaks.
Repressive governments are pressing WikiLeaks, help WikiLeaks make a fire hose of leaks to push them back.
