WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange To Receive Extradition Ruling On May 30th

Britain’s Supreme Court said on Wednesday it will give its judgement in the case of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s long-running fight against extradition to Sweden on May 30.

The court announced the date in a statement on its website, saying the judgement would start at 9:15 am (0815 GMT) next Wednesday and would last around 10 minutes.

Assange took his case to the Supreme Court in February in a last throw of the dice within the British legal system, arguing that the Swedish prosecutor who ordered his arrest in December 2010 was not a proper judicial authority.

Sweden wants to question the 40-year-old Australian over allegations of rape (for not using condoms) and sexual assault, but Assange insists the sex was consensual and has argued that the attempt to extradite him is politically motivated.

Julian Assange’s Reality TV Show to Premiere Next Week

Julian Assange, 40, is an Australian-born political activist and journalist known for his controversial website WikiLeaks, which has published leaked documents that allege government and corporate misconduct. Assange fell into his career path after he was a hacker-activity in his early days.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has completed filming episodes for his upcoming reality TV show “The World Tomorrow,” which will air on Tuesday, April 17, on the Russia Today (RT) network.

Assange, who is the subject of a grand jury investigation in the U.S., will be hosting a series of conversations with “some of the most interesting and controversial people alive in the world today,” according to a statement attached to WikiLeaks’s Twitter page.

Assange filmed the series over the past two months at his temporary home in England, where he remains under house arrest.

Although it will originally air on Russia’s RT network, the show will also be available online and is expected to come to more networks in the near future.

“The World Tomorrow” will be a 12-episode series with a range of guests, from politicians and revolutionaries to artists and visionaries.

Whistleblowing Wednesday: Collateral Murder, The Video That Made WikiLeaks Famous (2 Years Later)

Trigger Warning: Murder, Violence *Uncensored and Unedited*

On July 6, 2010, Private Bradley Manning, a 22 year old intelligence analyst with the United States Army in Baghdad, was charged with disclosing this video (after allegedly speaking to an unfaithful journalist). The whistleblower behind the Pentagon Papers, Daniel Ellsberg, has called Mr. Manning a ‘hero’. He is currently imprisoned in Kuwait. The Apache crew and those behind the cover up depicted in the video have yet to be charged. To assist Private Manning, please see BradleyManning.org.

5th April 2010 10:44 EST WikiLeaks has released a classified US military video depicting the indiscriminate slaying of over a dozen people in the Iraqi suburb of New Baghdad — including two Reuters news staff.

Reuters has been trying to obtain the video through the Freedom of Information Act, without success since the time of the attack. The video, shot from an Apache helicopter gun-sight, clearly shows the unprovoked slaying of a wounded Reuters employee and his rescuers. Two young children involved in the rescue were also seriously wounded.

CollateralMurder.com

Two years ago, Julian Assange and his team released this shocking video bringing the whistleblowing site, WikiLeaks, to fame.

It showed U.S. helicopter gunships firing on Iraqi civilians on the ground, along with two Reuters staffers, and at least two children riding in a van. Assange dubbed the video “Collateral Murder”.

WikiLeaks has published the biggest leaks in journalistic history and continues to reveal widespread corruption, cover ups, assassination attempts, government surveillance, war crimes, etc.

In 14 days Julian Assange will have been detained without charge for 500 days.

Bradley Manning, the hero who leaked the hundreds of thousands of diplomatic cables was arrested, detained and torture without trail.

WikiLeaks is currently facing a banking blockade. As a result of exposing U.S. embassies from around the world, five major US financial institutions, VISA, MasterCard, PayPal, Western Union and the Bank of America, have tried to economically strangle WikiLeaks The attack has blocked over 95% of our donations, costing tens of millions of dollars in lost revenue.

“From the glory days of American radicalism, which was the American Revolution, I think that Madison’s view on government is still unequaled. That people determined to be in a democracy, to be their own governments, must have the power that knowledge will bring – because knowledge will always rule ignorance. You can either be informed and your own rulers, or you can be ignorant and have someone else, who is not ignorant, rule over you. The question is, where has the United States betrayed Madison and Jefferson, betrayed these basic values on how you keep a democracy? I think that the U.S. military-industrial complex and the majority of politicians in Congress have betrayed those values.” via

Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Running for Australian Senate

Julian Assange is still under house arrest in Britain while he appeals extradition to Sweden, but that’s not stopping the audacious secret-spiller from planning his next move: running for a seat in the Australian Senate.

Assange announced his run through Wikileaks, the leak-disseminating organization he founded. He’s still wanted in Sweden to answer accusations of sexual assault and rape, but according to Wikileaks, that doesn’t stop the Australian native from running for a senate seat in his home country.

Wikileaks didn’t announce the state in which Assange would make his electoral bid. It first hinted at a possible Assange run in December, but it didn’t seem sure if it would be legal because of his possible extradition.

According to Australia’s constitution, a person can be barred from running for senate if they have “been convicted and is under sentence, or subject to be sentenced, for any offence punishable under the law of the Commonwealth or of a State by imprisonment for one year or longer.” Wikileaks pointed to an argument that Assange’s status doesn’t meet any of these conditions and thus decided that he is free to run.

Wikileaks will also be fielding a candidate to run against Prime Minister Julia Gillard in Lalor, Victoria. Gillard, Australia’s first female prime minister, has called the release of top-secret information on Wikileaks “grossly irresponsible” and supports an Internet filter to block images of child pornography and abuse.

Meanwhile, Assange is waiting the results of his extradition appeal to Britain’s highest court. If it rejects the motion, his last recourse before being shipped off to Sweden is the European Court of Human Rights, located in France.
