Assange in the aftermath of US elections: 'Clinton tried to destroy us and was herself destroyed'
In his latest interview, the WikiLeaks founder confirmed that his 'internet has been returned'.

WikiLeaks is widely considered to have played a pivotal role in the recent US presidential elections. The whistle-blowing platform's infamous Podesta email dump, which detailed the internal workings of the Democratic Party, is believed to have dealt a massive blow to the Clinton campaign.
In the aftermath of the elections, Julian Assange weighs in, further clarifying WikiLeaks' role and motives. In his recent interview Assange reasserted that contrary to accusations hurled at WikiLeaks of its data releases having helped Trump win the election, it was the contents of the DNC leaks and not the platform itself that led to Clinton's defeat.
Assange told Repubblica, "We published what the Democratic National Committee, John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, and Hillary Clinton herself were saying about their own campaign, which the American people read and were very interested to read, and assessed the elements and characters, and then they made a decision. That decision was based on Hillary Clinton's own words, her campaign manager's own words. That's democracy".
Clinton destroyed herself
When asked if Clinton's loss in the elections translates to a win for WikiLeaks, Assange said, "We were pleased to see how much of the American public interacted with the material we published.
"We have been publishing about Hillary Clinton for many years, because of her position as Secretary of State," he added, explaining why sources approached WikiLeaks.
"We have been publishing her cables since 2010 and her emails also. We are domain experts on Clinton and her post 2008 role in government. This is why it is natural for sources who have information on Hillary Clinton to come to us. They know we will understand its significance".
Commenting on the lessons learnt over the past 10 years, Assange highlighted how WikiLeaks has continued to publish material in the face of fierce opposition from the Pentagon and the US government. Assange himself was imprisoned and later put under house arrest.
He said, "Clinton tried to destroy us and was herself destroyed. Elephants, it seems, can be brought down with string. Perhaps there are no elephants".
Assange has 'mixed' feelings about Trump presidency
"If the question is how I personally feel about the situation, I am mixed," said Assange. "Hillary Clinton's election would have been a consolidation of power in the existing ruling class of the United States.
"Donald Trump is not a DC insider, he is part of the wealthy ruling elite of the United States, and he is gathering around him a spectrum of other rich people and several idiosyncratic personalities. They do not by themselves form an existing structure, so it is a weak structure which is displacing and destabilising the pre-existing central power network within DC.
"It is a new patronage structure which will evolve rapidly, but at the moment its looseness means there are opportunities for change in the United States: change for the worse and change for the better".
Will WikiLeaks survive if Assange is extradited to the US?
Swedish prosecutors travelled to the Ecuadorian embassy in London in November to question Assange over sexual assault allegations in the ongoing case from 2010. Swedish authorities are slated to make a decision in the coming weeks on whether to officially charge or absolve Assange. In light of Ecuador's upcoming elections and Sweden's impending decision, Assange's asylum and possible freedom, hangs in the balance.
However, Assange claims that "contingency plans" have been put into place to ensure the survival of WikiLeaks, in the event that he is charged by Sweden and later possibly extradited to the US.
"Yes, we have contingency plans that you have seen in action when my Internet was cut off and while I was in prison before." He confirmed that his "internet has been returned" adding that, "an organisation like WikiLeaks cannot be structured such that a single person can be a point of failure in the organisation, it makes him or her a target".
BRUSSELS – Belgium – The EU architects are the engineers of their own demise, and have condemned Europe to destruction through Schengen.
ReplyDeleteThe Schengen open door policy was meant to promote free movement of only the beautiful European people, the blue eyed, the blonde haired with successful professional jobs, country houses in multiple EU countries, and beautiful cultured friends tucked away all over the continent. It was not meant for sub-Saharans, or for Afghans or for all the rest streaming across Europe’s porous borders in need of housing, welfare, and sustenance. These are the tenets of what the EU project called for prescribed by the unelected EU Commission and EU architects all those years ago.
Suicide by Schengen
The Schengen zone was not designed for wars. The EU unelected elite do not know anything about military matters, they are only concerned about their economy and commerce and keeping the doors open to anything that comes through without question. They never even thought that the Schengen zone is a channel for heavy duty weaponry and bomb making equipment to be smuggled, or that hardcore, heavily trained militants could simply walk into the EU with no checks.
The EU architects did not factor in that massive people smuggling operations run by criminals would benefit from the Schengen zone, or that smuggling high grade drugs would become so easy.

Architects of their own destruction
DeleteThis leads us to believe that the architects of the EU are idiots, maybe they are intellectuals on some level but they are completely moronic illogical irresponsible fucking unintelligent bonkers mad elitest ass holes who have completely messed up the continent of Europe.
You are a disgrace to the word ‘elite’ because you did not factor in all eventualities before you set up your little EU utopian Schengen project, which has left whole boulevards in Paris resembling a refugee camp, and allowed shanty towns to congregate on the sea shores of Calais. It is your irresponsible policies that have caused this mess, and the EU architects should take the full blame for their ridiculous insane EU hell that we are all now living in.
If you count on safety and do not think of danger, if you do not know enough to be wary when enemies arrive, this is called a sparrow nesting on a tent, a fish swimming in a cauldron – they won’t last the day.
The definition of madness is doing the same thing over and over again with the same negative result, and this is what the EU leaders are doing. They are molly coddled in their own expensive cotton wool la la land of EU policies and diktats, but cannot see anything in front of their own eyes. The EU architects are visionaries of their own dystopia, the EU is a desert, there is now no hope or any future for the continent under the trampled shit splattered cloak of the EU.

DeleteLift no finger
For those wishing upon the destruction of the EU, you do not have to lay a single finger, because the people who are running the show now are condemned to their own demise, and they will take the people down with them kicking and screaming. Such is the arrogance of the elitist eurocrats that they never admit to their mistakes, or their flaws, or their disasters, they will instead happily murder millions of people to keep their positions.
May the Schengen open door policy be kept open for all to invade the continent, let us see how much anarchy, chaos and terror Europe can take before someone with some real logic does something.
BOTTOM LINE
Take the entire EU out and put them against the wall. Let the people show them how to deal with the shit.

ReplyDeleteCarl Paladino, a western New York builder, one-time Republican candidate for governor of New York and political ally of President-elect Donald J. Trump, came under fire on Friday for racially offensive comments about President Obama and the first lady, who Mr. Paladino said should be “let loose in the outback of Zimbabwe.”
Mr. Paladino’s comments were published in Artvoice, a weekly Buffalo newspaper. They came in response to an open-ended feature in which local figures were asked about their hopes for 2017.
“Obama catches mad cow disease after being caught having relations with a Herford,” said Mr. Paladino, who ran unsuccessfully for governor in 2010, making an apparent reference to the Hereford cattle breed. He said he hoped the disease killed the president.
Asked what he most wanted to see “go away” in the new year, Mr. Paladino — who has a reputation in New York political and business circles for speaking in an unfiltered manner reminiscent of Mr. Trump’s — answered, “Michelle Obama.”
“I’d like her to return to being a male and let loose in the outback of Zimbabwe where she lives comfortably in a cave with Maxie, the gorilla,” he said.

A little Irish girl's amazing Christmas song goes viral
By M. Catharine Evans
A Christian rock band from Kansas, USA and a 10-year-old girl with autism from Donaghadee in County Down, Northern Ireland have just given the world a profound and amazing Christmas present.
In the true spirit of the season, a video of little Kaylee Rodgers singing the band Cloverton's alternative lyrics to Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" has touched the lives of over 2 million people worldwide.
How impossibly opportune that a child should demonstrate to a world in crisis the indomitable human spirit and the true message of Christmas.
Listen and enjoy Kaylee and the Killard House School Choir:
