International News Title: WikiLeaks boss living on borrowed time Why isnt Julian Assange dead yet? Assange says hes the editor of a website called WikiLeaks. But hes not really an editor, because WikiLeaks doesnt do much writing. Its a website where secrets are posted to the Internet. But most of the secrets revealed there arent really leaked either. Theyre stolen. When WikiLeaks debuted in January 2007, it promised to shine a light of scrutiny on dictatorships. Many of its early directors were Chinese dissidents. Its focus would be oppressive regimes in Asia, the former Soviet bloc, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. They said their roots are in dissident communities and our focus is on non-Western authoritarian regimes. But then Assange, a computer hacker from Australia, took over. His obsession is to embarrass the worlds freest countries the U.S. and U.K. And as to repressive regimes, well, put it this way, Assange says U.S. forces must remember shooting the Taliban is shooting the Afghan people. Hes not anti-war. Hes on the other side. Assange published the names of Afghan human rights activists and others who have co- operated with the U.S. giving out names of villages and GPS coordinates. Thats not journalism. Thats not whistleblowing. Thats setting up deadly revenge attacks, says Reporters Without Borders. Zabihullah Mujahid is grateful. Hes a Taliban spokesman who says we know how to punish them. Assange published details about technology used to stop improvised explosive devices (IEDs) from being detonated. WikiLeaks calls roadside bombs a rebel investment, proudly pointing out for every dollar spent by the terrorists, the U.S. and Canada have to spend a thousand to defend against them. So Assange published those anti-IED details online. This week, Assange started to publish 250,000 U.S. diplomatic messages, many marked secret. The fight against terrorism is being endangered. Other members of WikiLeaks have complained about Assanges anti-American obsession. But its his show now. So who is he? Assange has never been a democracy activist. His parents were travelling entertainers in Australia. When Assange was eight, his mother remarried a member of a cult called The Family, infamous for abusing children with psychiatric medication. When that relationship crumbled, Assanges mother took him into hiding for five years. She boasts she moved her son 37 times before he was 14. Assange became a computer hacker and took the nickname Mendax, which means liar in Latin. He was convicted for hacking into Nortel. His run-ins with the law continue. This month, Interpol issued an arrest warrant against him for rape. Assange claims the sex was consensual. But the Swedish prosecutor says Assange refuses to present himself for interrogation. Why is Assange still alive? Why is he being treated as a journalist or political activist? If someone had published the intimate details of the D-Day plans during the Second World War, he would never have been seen again. Assange and his colleagues act like spies, not journalists. WikiLeaks could have its assets seized, just like the Taliban has. And U.S. President Barack Obama could do what hes doing to the Taliban throughout the world. He doesnt sue them or catch them. He kills them. Because its war. Obama has even ordered the assassination of an American citizen, Anwar al-Awlaki. How does Obama see Assange any differently?

Because he is wealthy and influential,and because he is a handy tool for the globalists in the Dim/RINO Party. They use him because he helps them to further their goal of destroying sovereign nations and establishing a fascist world government. I somehow doubt he would enjoy hacking into THEIR secrets,though. The first time he tries he ends up dead for real.
