Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has passport confiscated

Another proof that wikileaks is controlled opposition runned by TPTB. They pick them up, make some headlines in the press, and then release them. It happened to the "Democracy Now" crew in 2008, you can find more examples of this method.

world needs more julian assanges. he needs to be protected.

...who can deny that the releasing of that video was a huge blow to the Iraq War and the War on Terror in general.


A huge blow? No it wasn't. The war has been going on for 8 years and hundreds of thousands of people are killed. This is no "news". Or are there "nice" ways to kill people?

The purpose of this "leak" is to raise indignation against the US among people all over the world. TPTB wants to destroy the US to prepare for the NWO.


Yes this is absolutely true, but sad to say... videos like that are the only hope we have for waking up the Sheople in the USA... it's just like 9/11. Yeah, of course it was a huge mind fuck to kick start the agenda but it also woke a hell of a lot of people up...

Knowledge protects, ignorance endangers!

I watched that video and I thought it was one of the most compelling things I've ever seen- especially knowing the background of the journalist and his driver who were murdered in it... Every single person I know who saw it feels the same.

When they released the Iraq footage, they also claimed they would release more footage this time from Afghanistan. Has anyone heard anything about this?

Sir, I watched the video and DO NOT feel the same way. I agree any footage of war is hard on the eyes and the soul, however the journalist who was killed was consorting with insurgents on that video who were clearly armed. In my opinion this Wikileaks guy is a prostitute for the ant-war / anti-US trolls. Give him some more money and he will keep pimping away. I like your posts as they are generally thought provoking and well written, however I will disagree with you on this subject.

The Australian founder of the whistleblower website Wikileaks had his passport confiscated by police when he arrived in Melbourne last week.

Julian Assange, who does not have an official home base and travels every six weeks, told the Australian current affairs program Dateline that immigration officials had said his passport was going to be canceled because it was looking worn.

However he then received a letter from the Australian Communication Minister Steven Conroy’s office stating that the recent disclosure on Wikileaks of a blacklist of websites the Australian government is preparing to ban had been referred to the Australian Federal Police (AFP).

Last year Wikileaks published a confidential list of websites that the Australian government is preparing to ban under a proposed internet filter – which in turn caused the whistleblower site to be placed on that list.

Mr Assange, 37, told The Age newspaper that half an hour after his passport was returned to him an AFP officer searched one of his bags and questioned him about a previous criminal record for computer hacking offences when he was a teenager.

He was then told his passport status was classified as “normal” on the immigration database

In 1991 Mr Assange, described by Wikileaks as “Australia’s most famous ethical computer hacker”, was charged with 30 offenses over the alleged hacking of police, Telco’s and US military computers. He admitted to 24 charges and was fined and placed on a good behavior bond.

Mr Assange told the Dateline program that Australia is one of a few countries he is wary of traveling in as a result of documents published on the Wikileaks website.

“There are places … Dubai, who is trying to have us arrested, Switzerland under the bank secrecy laws, Cayman Islands,” he said. “Australia had the federal police in relation to its censorship list so there are some jurisdictions that from time to time it wouldn’t be sensible to go there.”

Wikileaks, which publishes anonymously sourced confidential documents from governments and corporations, was launched in January 2007.

The site has since exposed secrets about corruption in Kenya, Nato’s plans for the war in Afghanistan and the operations manual for the US detention centre at Guantanamo Bay.

Last month Wikileaks created international headlines when it published classified US military footage of an American attack helicopter gunning down Iraqi civilians and a Reuters photographer in 2007.

Until recently Mr Assange has kept a very low profile, rarely granting interviews or making public appearances.

He is believed to have boltholes in Iceland, Sweden and Kenya, but does not have an official home base. He says he travels every six weeks, running his Wikileaks empire from a laptop and a backpack while on the road.

Another proof that wikileaks is controlled opposition runned by TPTB. They pick them up, make some headlines in the press, and then release them. It happened to the "Democracy Now" crew in 2008, you can find more examples of this method.

I only read the first few paragraphs of this thread and I've never heard of this guy... but it reminded me of something.

Australia is a test market.

For example... When eBay considered offering only Paypal as a payment option, they tested it on the Aussie website. We cracked the shits so they kept other payment options open but paypal is now a compulsory payment method.

Could it be possible that the censorship of Australian internet is a test for western world?

See how we react before they do it to YOU too?

I'm probably talking out of my arse... I'm just saying.

The US is the friggin NWO retard ...


WRONG!


The NWO is not a country or even people, it's an idea and a fucking stupid, psychotic one at that...

I believe all of this reaches into the nether-realms, far beyond the limits of Mans cognitive abilities... think of it like a Scientist examining life in a petri dish... who are we really? The scientist? or the petri dish? I say both...

world needs more julian assanges. he needs to be protected.

Insurgents against what? The USA occupation? Wouldn't you do the same thing if you were occupied by the ay-rabs? This war is NONSENSE killing. It's complete bullshit to make war contractors rich while young soldiers die for that wealth. WAKE UP PEOPLE.
George Washington was against foreign entanglements for a good reason. It's none of our business what other countries do. Let's get back to facing our own problems before we go policing the streets of foreign nations.

when it published classified US military footage

It wasn't classified if it was he would disappear.


ya they made it public so why would he disappear.. the posted on there website that if anything happens to them, we would know whos responsible..

And if it had have been classified, you wouldn't have even read that on the website, because he would no longer be able to type anything on it.
