WIKILEAKS IS A MOSSAD & CIA CYBER-WARFARE TRAP

Is There a War on Wikileaks?

April 8th 2010 - On March 29th, Steven Aftergood wrote that "WikiLeaks.org, which publishes confidential documents online, says that it is being harassed by U.S. military and intelligence agencies because of its disclosures of restricted information, including the forthcoming release of a classified U.S. military video of an air strike in Afghanistan that produced civilian casualties. But those claims are disputed and can hardly be taken at face value." - [end quote]*

And yes, personally I think - and this is based on more than 40 years as an independent correspondent - that Steven Aftergood is totally right. As far as I can see it Wikileaks is a Mossad/CIA trap. A way of getting at the IP's - the Internet addresses, names etc. of the 'leakers' to this site. And then it's easy to pick up those 'dissidents' everywhere.

To make up your own mind, read for instance this article about Wikileaks and its nefarious dealings.

"Suspicions that Wikileaks is part of U.S. cyber-warfare operations."

March 2010 - WMR [Wayne Madsen Report] has learned from Asian intelligence sources that there is a strong belief in some Asian countries, particularly China and Thailand, that the website Wikileaks, which purports to publish classified and sensitive documents while guaranteeing anonymity to the providers, is linked to U.S. cyber-warfare and computer espionage operations, as well as to Mossad's own cyber-warfare activities.

Wikileaks claims to have decrypted video footage of a U.S. Predator air strike on civilians in Afghanistan and that covert U.S. State Department agents followed Wikileaks's editor from Iceland to Norway in a surveillance operation conducted jointly by the United States and Iceland. Iceland's financially-strapped government recently announced a policy of becoming a haven for websites that fear political oppression and censorship in their home countries. However, in the case of Wikileaks, countries like China and Thailand are suspicious of the websites' actual "ownership."

Wikileaks says it intends to show its video at an April 5 press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, DC but that its presenters may be detained or arrested before that time. WMR's sources believe the Wikileaks "militancy" in the face of supposed surveillance appears fake.

Our Asian intelligence sources report the following: "Wikileaks is running a disinformation campaign, crying persecution by U.S. intelligence- when it is U.S. intelligence itself. Its [Wikileaks'] activities in Iceland are totally suspect." Wikileaks claims it is the victim of a new COINTELPRO [Counter Intelligence Program] operation directed by the Pentagon and various U.S. intelligence agencies. WMR's sources believe that it is Wikileaks that is part and parcel of a cyber-COINTELPRO campaign, such as that proposed by President Obama's "information czar," Dr. Cass Sunstein.

In January 2007, John Young, who runs cryptome.org, a site that publishes a wealth of sensitive and classified information, left Wikileaks, claiming the operation was a CIA front. Young also published some 150 email messages sent by Wikileaks activists on cryptome. They include a disparaging comment about this editor by Wikileaks co-founder Dr. Julian Assange of Australia. Assange lists as one of his professions "hacker." His German co-founder of Wikileaks uses a pseudonym, "Daniel Schmitt."

Wikileaks claims it is "a multi-jurisdictional organization to protect internal dissidents, whistleblowers, journalists and bloggers who face legal or other threats related to publishing" [whose] primary interest is in exposing oppressive regimes in Asia, the former Soviet bloc, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, but we are of assistance to people of all nations who wish to reveal unethical behavior in their governments and corporations. We aim for maximum political impact. We have received over 1.2 million documents so far from dissident communities and anonymous sources."

In China, Wikileaks is suspected of having Mossad connections. It is pointed out that its first "leak" was from an Al Shabbab "insider" in Somalia. Al Shabbab is the Muslim insurgent group that the neocons have linked to "Al Qaeda."

Asian intelligence sources also point out that Assange's "PhD" is from Moffett University, an on-line diploma mill and that while he is said to hail from Nairobi, Kenya, he actually in from Australia where his exploits have included computer hacking and software piracy. - [end excerpt]

Among other things it shows more fake stories: “That WikiLeaks is being targeted by the U.S. Government for surveillance and disruption is beyond doubt,” declared Glenn Greenwald in Salon.com. In support of this conclusion he cited the detention of a minor in Iceland last week who was supposedly questioned about an incriminating WikiLeaks video. But there is no independent corroboration of this incident. And WikiLeaks’ account of what transpired, though recounted by Salon as fact, is disputed by Iceland’s police:

“Chief of police in Reykjavik, Fridrik Smari Bjorgvinsson, said the only link he has been able to establish between the allegations and his force was the arrest of a 17 year-old in Kopavogur on Monday for breaking into a business premises. Bjorgvinsson emphasised that Icelandic police have not been working with the American secret services on the matter, as Wikileaks spokesmen allege.”

Perhaps the Reykjavik police chief is also part of a global campaign to destroy WikiLeaks. Or perhaps the whole story is one of mystification and error." - [end quote] - Url.: http://www.fas.org/blog/secrecy/2010/03/war_on_wikileaks.html

And when I see Wikileaks on all propaganda-channels of the mainstream media, and I know a couple of languages, my experience too tells me that this Wikileaks is as wrong as can be. Since I've lived and worked for many years as a Scandinavian correspondent too, I often visited Iceland an learned to like it very much. So of course I keep an eye on it, and read stories like these:

"Wikileaks and Iceland media law are stalking horses for Soros."

Following up on WMR's March 25, 2010 report on Wikileaks's ties to U.S. intelligence, Mossad, and George Soros, WMR has received additional information that points to the Icelandic media law that would turn the economically-battered country into an information safe haven for websites like Wikileaks as being a contrivance of George Soros's Open Society Institute (OSI).

WMR has learned that OSI's Mark Thompson spoke at the May 2009 First Council of Europe Conference of Ministers responsible for Media and New Communications Services. Present at the conference was Katrin Jakobsdóttir, Iceland's Minister of Culture, Education, and Science and members of the Icelandic parliament, the Althing. It was after this conference that the Icelandic Modern Media Initiative was introduced with much fanfare from Wikileaks and its co-founder Julian Assange.

Thompson has a background that includes propagandizing for the western incursion into the Balkans, including directing the Media Analysis Unit for the UN mission in Yugoslavia, UNPROFOR; the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, and Soros's OSI." - [end excerpt]

Because George Soros really is a global bastard, and has his dirty claws into everything which is profitable one way or the other, to him or/and the criminal cartel he's taking part in.

And this US 'judge' was immediately whisled back by the 'judicial' arm of the criminal cartel so Wikileaks can go on with its cyber spy operations:

"Judge in Wikileaks Case Reverses Course, Wikileaks.org is Back Online."

Posted February 29th, 2008 by David Ardia - in California Legal Threat Prior Restraints. "We've just received word that the judge in the Wikileaks case, Jeffrey White, has vacated the Permanent Injunction that ordered Wikileaks' domain name registrar, Dynadot, to disable the entire Wikileaks.org domain name and remove all DNS hosting records.

The judge also refused to renew the Temporary Restraining Order that enjoined Wikileaks from publishing or distributing copies of purported bank documents and tentatively denied the plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction, indicating that he would issue an order addressing the motion in the near future.

For now, the only official record from the hearing is a one-page "Minute Order" issued by the clerk. CNET News has also just posted an update on the hearing. As we get more information, we'll update this post.

UPDATE: The judge issued an Order denying the plaintiffs' motion for a preliminary injunction against Wikileaks, dissolving the permanent injunction against Dynadot, and setting a briefing and hearing schedule for the remaining motions before the court (primarily motions to intervene and dismiss the case)." - [end excerpt] - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/yhkzqmf

One only has to connect the dots...

Samuel Knight writes about it last March too: "Iceland - Free Press Haven?"

"More than volcanos are rumbling in Iceland these days," as In These Times reports, by Samuel Knight: "Icelandic members of parliament have plans to transform their crisis-ridden North-Atlantic nation into a sanctuary for publishers, production companies and information technology firms from around the world.

“It would free the press from fear,” says Thor Saari, one of the members of parliament spearheading the proposal, which is known as the Icelandic Modern Media Initiative (IMMI). Iceland’s Parliament, the Althingi, is expected to support the effort.

To craft their bill, members of parliament (MPs) drew on existing laws in the United States and European countries. “We tried to find the best [laws] in each country and merge it all into one proposal that the government will enact as legislation,” Saari says. A draft of the initiative proposes strengthening protection for whistleblowers, ensuring the anonymity of journalists’ sources, liberalizing the country’s freedom of information regulations, and creating Iceland’s first international award, which would honor freedom of expression.

The energy behind IMMI comes from the three MPs who belong to a protest party called the Movement and from members of the ruling Social Democrat/Left-Green coalition. They have received help from Julian Assange and Daniel Schmitt, the founders of the website Wikileaks. Assange and Schmitt became heroes in Iceland after publishing details of corporate loans issued by Kaupthing, a failed Icelandic bank. State television was forbidden by a court order to reveal the information due to banking secrecy laws. It appeared instead on Wikileaks.

An opportunity to propose the changes arose when Icelandic lawmakers recently decided to bring the country’s media laws up to speed with new technology. With a cool climate kind to computer servers and abundant, clean-burning geothermal energy, Iceland is already considered an ideal host for data centers from all over the globe. “‘The Switzerland of Bits’ is what they’re calling us,” Saari says." - [end quote] - More at Url.: http://beforeitsnews.com/news/26861/Iceland_--_Free_Press_Haven.html

And there's a lot of those 'false flag' and faked stories, trying to give Wikileaks an undeserved position: "Wikileaks Asks CIA to Stop Spying on It" - by Mathew Ingram, March 26, 2010:

"Wikileaks, the crusading non-profit web site that publishes documents companies and governments don’t want released, is alleging that the U.S. State Department and possibly the CIA have been spying on the group and its volunteers, following them on airplanes and even monitoring their production meetings in an Icelandic fish-and-chip restaurant.

In a blog post on the Wikileaks site, the group’s co-founder, Julian Assange, asserts that the spying “includes attempted covert following, photographing, filming and the overt detention & questioning of a WikiLeaks’ volunteer in Iceland.” - [end quote] - The rest of this piece advocating cyber spying by Wikileaks is here at Url.: http://gigaom.com/2010/03/26/wikileaks-asks-cia-to-stop-spying-on-it/

But I think stories like in 'Mother Jones' magazine about the shadowy side of Wikileaks are correct:

"Inside WikiLeaks’ Leak Factory. - WikiLeaks has revealed the secrets of the Pentagon, Scientology, and Sarah Palin—and the explosive video of a US attack on civilians and journalists in Iraq. Meet the shadowy figure behind the whistleblower site."

As said, I visited Iceland and here's my take. Google search: HR + Iceland - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/yj5mbwx

So, from my point of view:

Beware of Wikileaks!
