HOSTILE RULING CAPITALIST PROPAGANDA INSTRUMENT NEW YORK TIMES - ATTACK ON ASSANGE

CAPITALIST-CONTROLLED THE NEW YORK TIMES VOICE  OF USG AS AGENT OF CAPITALISM HOSTILE RULING CAPITALIST PROPAGANDA INSTRUMENT ATTACK ON ASSANGE PAVING WAY TO ELIMINATION OF JOURNALIST ASSANGE BY RULING CAPITALISTS Bill Van Auken Article, WSWS http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2016/09/02/wiki-s02.html http://archive.is/whyJ2 New York Times launches McCarthyite witch-hunt against Julian Assange By Bill Van Auken 2 September 2016   The New York Times Thursday published an article entitled “How Russia Often Benefits When Julian Assange Reveals the West’s Secrets.” The 5,000-word piece, covering three columns of the top half of its front page, boasts three bylines. Presented as a major investigative news article, it is a piece of pro-government propaganda, whose style and outright character assassination against the WikiLeaks founder seems to have been cribbed from the vilest McCarthyite smear jobs of the 1950s.  [comment:  'cribbed' = plagiarised ] Stringing together half-truths, innuendos, totally unsubstantiated assertions presented as facts and vicious ad hominem attacks on a man who has been persecuted and is effectively imprisoned because of his exposures of the crimes of US imperialism, the article has essentially three related purposes. The first is to brand Assange as a “dupe” if not outright agent of the Kremlin and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The second is to discredit in advance any forthcoming information from WikiLeaks exposing the sordid and potentially indictable activities of the favored presidential candidate of both the Times and the US military and intelligence complex, Democrat Hillary Clinton. And the third and most essential is to advance the relentless propaganda campaign mounted by the New York Times to prepare public opinion for military confrontation with Russia and intimidate and undermine the broad popular opposition of the American people to war. This anti-Russian campaign was sharply escalated following the WikiLeaks release last month of Democratic National Committee emails exposing the collaboration of the DNC leadership and the Clinton camp in the attempt to sabotage the campaign of her rival, Bernie Sanders. The response of Clinton and her supporters was to suppress any discussion about the content of the emails by waging a hysterical campaign indicting the release of material as a national security crisis deliberately provoked by the Kremlin in an attempt to subvert the US elections. This led to the open suggestion that Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is Putin’s pawn, a theme that has been promoted as part of Clinton’s bid to rally the Republican national security establishment behind her campaign on a platform of aggressive war. The Times piece repeats this type of unfounded allegation, stating, “United States officials say they believe with a high degree of confidence that the Democratic Party material was hacked by the Russian government.” Who are these “United States officials?” What is the basis of their “high degree of confidence?” What, if any, evidence exists to substantiate this allegation? The lengthy Times piece includes not a word in answer to any of these questions. Nonetheless, using this unsubstantiated allegation as its foundation, the article advances its agenda with the kind of innuendo that the anti-communist witch-hunters of the House Un-American Activities Committee would have instantly recognized: “Has WikiLeaks become a laundering machine for compromising material gathered by the Russians. And more broadly, what precisely is the relationship between Mr. Assange and Mr. Putin’s Kremlin?” To bolster its political indictment, the Times asserts, “Whether by conviction or coincidence, WikiLeaks document releases, along with many of Mr. Assange’s statements, have often benefited Russia, at the expense of the West.” Among these “statements,” the Times paraphrases Assange’s comments in a televised interview last September, asserting that the US “has achieved imperial power by proclaiming allegiance to principles of human rights while deploying its military-intelligence apparatus in ‘pincer’ formation to ‘push’ countries into doing its biding.” It cites his charge that the 2014 coup in Ukraine was the result of Washington “trying to draw Ukraine into the Western orbit.” It also accuses him of being critical of NATO, an organization that “Putin would like nothing more than to defang or dismantle.”  [comment:  NATO is a criminal capitalist mercenary force that is a global aggressor and is known to have sent Serbian children graffiti bombs, while conducting illegal bombing of their nation ... and that's just Serbia. ] It accuses WikiLeaks of publishing damning “leaks of material from Saudi Arabia and Turkey, which are United States allies.” The article further adds that the leaks “came during times of heightened tensions between those countries and Russia.” It even attributes its publication of documents exposing secret talks on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a US-sponsored trade and investment deal devised as an economic arm of the US “pivot” to Asia and the military buildup against China, to the hidden hand of the Kremlin, because Russia was also excluded from the pact. Given these criteria, one can only conclude that anyone who opposes US imperialist interventions, or, indeed, employs their critical faculties in relation to any aspect of US foreign policy, stands in danger of being indicted by the Times as an “agent” or “dupe” of the Kremlin. Further “evidence” uncovered by the sleuths of the Times that Assange is a Kremlin asset, is that he appeared in a short-lived television series broadcast in 2012 by Russia Today (RT), a television network partially funded by the Russian government. The article suggests that the show was a hidden means for the Putin government to keep WikiLeaks afloat. “How much he or WikiLeaks was paid for the 12 episodes remains unclear,” it comments.  [comment:  ...  and the Israelis could have sent bitcoins in covert support.  ] Assange, however, was not employed by RT, but rather the network (like a dozen other broadcasters) paid a fee to air the program. Under similar arrangements, RT regularly broadcasts a series featuring Larry King, the 25-year veteran interviewer of CNN’s “Larry King Live.” So far he has not been named by the Times as a suspect. In the course of its report, the Times quotes Gavin MacFadyen, a WikiLeaks supporter and director of the University of London-based Centre for Investigative Journalism, as noting that “intelligence services had a long history of using news organizations to plant stories, and that Western news outlets published ‘material that comes from the C.I.A. uncritically.’” [comment:  The New York Times history shows CIA ties. ] Of course the premier example of this practice is to be found in the record of the New York Times itself, most infamously in placing both its news and editorial pages at the service of the Bush administration’s preparation of a war of aggression against Iraq, promoting and embellishing upon the phony intelligence about Iraqi “weapons of mass destruction.” Two of the three bylines on the Times hit piece against Julian Assange bear closer examination. One is that of Eric Schmitt, the newspaper’s national security correspondent, who serves as a regular conduit for the CIA and the Pentagon. Among his services rendered was a 2002 feature article, published at the height of the CIA’s waterboarding and other “enhanced interrogation techniques.” Sarcastically headlined “There are ways to make you talk,” the article was based entirely on the lying assurances of US officials that the interrogation methods being employed by the American military and CIA were all in strict compliance with the Geneva Conventions and that “torture is not an option.” Schmitt was also heavily involved in the Times’ handling of the major document leaks by WikiLeaks, which exposed US war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as US conspiracies around the globe, in the “Cablegate” release of State Department documents. He was one of the Times reporters who was sent to the White House in 2010 to brief Obama administration officials on the contents of the material obtained by WikiLeaks and to consult on how the newspaper should handle it. The newspaper’s then-Editor Bill Keller commented that the US government had praised the Times for “handling the documents with care.” In describing the paper’s treatment of the WikiLeaks revelations, Keller said that “in consultation with government officials,” the newspaper censored any information that “could harm the national interest.” [comment:  'national interests' is CAPITALIST INTERESTS, which usually does not coincide with the interests of the masses that are the nations that these capitalists deceive, control and exploit. ] [edit:  Eric Schmitt] ... went on to enunciate an Orwellian vision for the role of the media: “We agree wholeheartedly that transparency is not an absolute good. Freedom of the press includes freedom not to publish, and that is a freedom we exercise with some regularity.” In early 2011, Schmitt was cited as the source for a vicious personal attack on Assange, penned by Keller in defending his role as a gatekeeper for the US security services in the WikiLeaks affair. Schmitt is quoted as describing Assange as looking “like a bag lady walking in off the street,” and having “smelled as if he hadn’t bathed in days.” In relation to Assange, who is under constant surveillance by the US intelligence agencies, has been described as a “terrorist” by US officials, and whose assassination has been regularly demanded by elements of the right, this kind of language has a definite purpose. It is designed to invoke the hostility and distaste of the newspaper’s upper middle class readers and thereby make it easier for the state to either jail the WikiLeaks founder or kill him. The other noteworthy byline is that of Steven Erlanger, the newspaper’s London bureau chief and a 30-year veteran of the Times. In addition to his reporting duties, Erlanger serves as a governor of the Ditchley Foundation, which organizes Bilderberg-style, closed-door conferences of top state officials and big business figures to discuss strategic issues of concern to US and British imperialism. Other governors include the former head of MI6, the British secret intelligence service, various bank chiefs and the senior director of Goldman Sachs. Honorary governors include former Tory prime ministers David Cameron and John Major. The chairman of the group is Lord (George Islay MacNeill) Robertson, a senior advisor to BP and former secretary general of NATO. In the kind of secret talks held by the Ditchley Foundation, the subject of how best to dispose of Julian Assange would certainly not be out of place. That such “journalists” should sit in judgment of Assange, after indicting him, based on no evidence, as an asset of the Kremlin, is an obscenity. Their entire article stands as a devastating self-exposure of an American media that functions as a quasi-official state propaganda organ, mobilized in the buildup to war and in which outright intelligence agents play a decisive role.  [comment:  Wow, I wish I could send this article & the capitalist NYT hit piece to Noam Chomsky, especially after watching his 1989 video about the media and manufacturing consent.  ] http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2016/09/02/wiki-s02.html http://archive.is/whyJ2 Bill Van Auken b. 1950 politician and activist Socialist Equality Party presidential candidate in U.S. presidential election of 2004 VP nominee:   U.S. presidential election of 2008 full-time reporter for the World Socialist Web Site resides in New York City https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Van_Auken Imperialism and War "The SEP asserts that capitalism leads inevitably to war, as imperialist states seek geo-political dominance, spheres of influence, markets, control of vital resources, and access to cheap labor.  Therefore, the SEP encourages and supports the widest mass protests against US militarism and its plans for war.

I like Bill Van Auken. He's telling the truth and he's able to articulate what we, the great unwashed, already know to some degree if we've been following how this is shaping up.  Auken also fills us in on missing pieces we may not be aware of, completing the picture of capitalist controlled media acting with and in support of capitalist-serving government (as official agent of controlling capitalists and not agent whatsoever of the controlled masses, despite the rhetoric); thus both capitalist media (the fake 'Fourth Estate') and capitalist government acting as agents/tools for advancing the interests of Western capitalist ruling elites, often at the expense of the information denied, indoctrinated, misled, exploited and controlled masses. This fits in nicely with Noam Chomsky's 'Propaganda Model' of Western media ... and then the entire thing locks in with overlapping corporate and media and government positions, capitalist established and funded NGOs serving capitalist interests, the capitalist business and government revolving door and overlap, completing the picture of the fraud of Western capitalist 'democracy', which is rule by the iron grip of arm's length, faceless,  unaccountable, mobile, capitalist elites who serve up lies as 'news', who suppress truth and deny information; who lead us into wars of aggression; who give away our European nations and heritage from under us; who put our physical safety at risk; who put the ongoing existence of our own kind, in what are our illegitimately usurped and misappropriated nations, in jeopardy; and lying, exploiting capitalists and their agents, who act in together to persecute, imprison or assassinate truth-tellers, refusing to be held to account for fraud, corruption and crime committed in the name of capitalism, while capitalist crimes are perversely defended to the man on the street as matters of 'national security' (the same man in the street that is denied a nation and robbed of a nation by capitalists as policy and deprived of the safety that ought to be borne of what they refer to as 'national security' (but is merely a shield for pursuing hostile capitalist interests with impunity, and by unified hostile Western capitalist policy), granting the criminal agents of the criminal capitalists (ie Western capitalist fraud that is known as 'democratic' government(s)) the licence to illegitimately control, exploit and violate nations, peoples, and individuals with impunity. It is these capitalist criminals and their capitalist criminal agent governments, which are acting in cooperation with one another (as their capitalist interests and their capitalist crimes are mutual & their agenda for global hegemony is the same), that are responsible  for the undemocratic 6-year without charge imprisonment and political persecution of Australian journalist Julian Assange, who has unlawfully been denied political asylum granted by Ecuador in 2012.

Google Nazis Aim to Create Biometric Surveillance Databases

Google Nazis Aim to Create Biometric Surveillance Databases https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/may/24/google-passwords-android Google aims to kill passwords by the end of this year Android users will be able to log in to services using a combination of their face, typing patterns, and how they move Alex Hern @alexhern Tuesday 24 May 2016 22.54 AEST  Google will begin testing an alternative to passwords next month, in a move that could do away with complicated logins for good. The new feature, introduced to developers at the company’s I/O conference, is called the Trust API, and will initially be tested with “several very large financial institutions” in June, according to Google’s Daniel Kaufman. Kaufman is the head of Google’s Advanced Technology and Projects group, where the Trust API was first created under the codename Project Abacus. Introduced last year, Abacus aims to kill passwords not through one super-secure replacement, but by mixing together multiple weaker indicators into one solid piece of evidence that you are who you say you are. “Biometric authentication is a powerful enabler ..." https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/may/24/google-passwords-android COMMENT Google Big Brother is poised to collect biometric data. Biometrics is used "to identify individuals in groups that are under surveillance" and is "considered also instrumental to the development of state authority" (source). This amounts to Google Big Brother creating identity surveillance databases, which is not that far removed from collecting user DNA for storage in data banks. Collection of biometric information by corporate, state and state-serving Nazis like Google (or any entity whatsoever) ought to be outlawed. South African case study here.  Unable to skim this right now, but it looks like it might be interesting.

Google Agrees To “Right To Be Forgotten” Censorship Plan

Article SOURCE http://searchengineland.com/google-to-censor-worldwide-sorta-243938 http://searchengineland.com/google-to-censor-worldwide-sorta-243938 Google Agrees To Complicated Worldwide “Right To Be Forgotten” Censorship Plan Google will ensure those within a country where a RTBF request was granted cannot find censored content, regardless of what Google edition they use. Danny Sullivan on March 4, 2016 at 2:35 pm Google has said it will begin next week to censor content worldwide that it removes under the European Union’s Right To Be Forgotten mandate. But “worldwide” censorship will only apply to those searching from a particular EU country where the request was originally made. How The Censorship Works Does that make your head hurt? This might help. Assume that someone in Germany files a Right To Be Forgotten request to have some listing removed for their name. If granted, the censorship will work like this for searches on that person’s name:     Listing censored for those in Germany, using ANY version of Google.     Listing censored for those in the EU, using a European version of Google.     Listing NOT censored for those outside Germany but within the EU, using non-European versions of Google.     Listing NOT censored for those outside the EU, using ANY version of Google. As you can see, it’s worldwide censorship for those within the country where the request was granted, in the sense that no matter what edition of Google they use, the removed listings will not show for the terms involved. For a deeper explanation of how all this works, including why listing even within the EU will continue to show for other types of searches, see my previous article: Google To Remove Right-To-Be-Forgotten Links Worldwide, For Searchers In European Countries. Outside the EU, none of the censorship will be in place — so it’s not worldwide when considered that way. This will also be the case for anyone within the EU who manages to disguise their location, such as someone using a VPN. Google Feared Worse The move is in response to EU concerns that Google’s previous censorship didn’t fully uphold the Right To Be Forgotten. If someone was within the EU, they could go to Google.com or another non-EU version of Google and still find material that Google was ordered to remove. This change closes that backdoor — which wasn’t likely used much anyway — on a country-by-country basis. It’s a much better outcome than if Google had been ordered to censor for all people worldwide, as that potentially would have caused it to censor globally for political reasons, such as with China. Of course, there’s one country that Google does continue to censor globally for: the United States, such as with copyright infringement removals. See our previous article for more about that: How The Myth Of Google Censorship Was Busted By The EU & Canada. Danny Sullivan is a Founding Editor of Search Engine Land. He’s a widely cited authority on search engines and search marketing issues who has covered the space since 1996. Danny also serves as Chief Content Officer for Third Door Media, which publishes Search Engine Land and produces the SMX: Search Marketing Expo conference series.

Bypass Censorship Europeans on VPNs & Tor should be able to bypass this nonsense to see what their politicians are *hiding* ... depending on where the exit node is (but you just keep at it until you get the country you need ... lol). On consideration, I expect that the *majority* of Europeans online will not be accessing VPNs or Tor, so this leaves the PUBLIC of INDIVIDUAL EUROPEAN STATES vulnerable to CENSORSHIP & MANIPULATION:  ie POLITICAL SUPPRESSION by individual NATION STATES, as they see fit (ie.  in favour of measures furthering the US-NATO & EU policy that's devastating Europe). Reason: Withholding information amounts to DENIAL OF INFORMED CONSENT.

Being a tech dumb-dumb I didn't really know what I was supposed to do and, so far, I've been too lazy to make the effort to find out more about online privacy. Got onto  the above information in a round-about way, by following a trail from a comment about some download site, to references about 'Tor', 'Open Proxy' and VPN. Tor I'm good for, but I still haven't checked out 'Open Proxy' and I didn't really know what VPN was until today ... LOL.  If I came across it in my travels, I didn't take in the info or take an interest.  Not sure what this proxy stuff is about ... might have a look at some point.  In a rush now. The Romanian VPN:  would probably check to see what their relationship is like with the US before playing with that ... & probably keeping fingers crossed in case it's run by cyber crooks or something ... LOL.  Quick check indicates that VPNBook has been referred to in court discoveries and indictments against hactivist group members, by the look of this July 2013 article.  I've not read comments. OpenVPN sounds the best to me. Found out today that if you CTRL-C copy files and then delete the source of the files, you're left with nothing but a 'source not found' type message.  Lucky it was only a boring photo of my porridge breakfast (again) ... LOL. I Tor a little most days, but I'm still hooked on normal browsing. Reverted to Google search engine when I changed my OS (again) and stayed there because I was too lazy to find alternatives.  Due to Google's provision of assistance to US-led multiple state actor aggression in the Middle East, I've ditched Google for https://duckduckgo.com/ (doesn't track), but I find myself hopping back onto Google frequently, as it's hard adjusting to being somewhere else and scrolling through search engine data, sort of feeling like you might be missing out on something vital (or missing what you think is quick and easy detection of key info).  But in terms of the organisation overall, not too sure how reliable Google would actually be in that sense.  With the US state being embedded in Google and Google being in bed with the US state, they're probably hiding info from us instead of helping us find it.  ;) I'm over looking at this stuff:  OPSEC etc. might have to wait for another time.

WikiLeaks: Google & Al-Jazeera Encouraged Civil War In Syria

Article SOURCE http://www.mintpressnews.com/wikileaks-google-al-jazeera-encouraged-civil-war-syria/215163/ http://www.mintpressnews.com/wikileaks-google-al-jazeera-encouraged-civil-war-syria/215163/ WikiLeaks: Google & Al-Jazeera Encouraged Civil War In Syria Together with Al-Jazeera, Google developed a tool to track defections in Syria, hoping to encourage more former Assad allies to join the civil war. By Mint Press News Desk | March 29, 2016  MENLO PARK, California — Tech giant Google collaborated with Al-Jazeera to develop an interactive online tool to encourage defections during the Syrian civil war, according to emails in WikiLeaks’ archive of Hillary Clinton’s emails.  [Comment:  Al-Jazeera Qatar state & partial Thani ruling family funding] “Please keep close hold, but my team is planning to launch a tool on Sunday that will publicly track and map the defections in Syria and which parts of the government they are coming from,” wrote Jared Cohen, the founder and director of Google Ideas, of the proposed online tool in a July 25, 2012 email sent to Jacob J. Sullivan, deputy secretary of state under Clinton. “Our logic behind this is that while many people are tracking the atrocities, nobody is visually representing and mapping the defections, which we believe are important in encouraging more to defect and giving confidence to the opposition.” “We believe this can have an important impact,” Cohen added. The archive reveals that Sullivan forwarded the email onto Clinton, adding, “This is a pretty cool idea.” Clinton, in turn, sent it to an assistant with instructions for the email to be printed. In his email, Cohen revealed that Google Ideas was collaborating with Al-Jazeera, which published the tracker in English and Arabic shortly after Cohen’s email was sent. Although it was offline when this report was written, an internal analysis by Google called it “one of the most viewed visualizations on their site” and the tool later won an Online Media Award for the TV news network based in Doha, Qatar. Google Ideas, which was renamed Jigsaw in a major company reorganization last year, is a think tank which maintains close ties to the State Department, according to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in his 2014 book “When Google Met WikiLeaks.” [here] Before leading Google Ideas, Cohen served at the State Department from 2006 to 2010 under Secretaries of State Condoleezza Rice and Clinton. Assange wrote: “It was Cohen who, while he was still at the Department of State, was said to have emailed Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to delay scheduled maintenance in order to assist the aborted 2009 uprising in Iran. His documented love affair with Google began the same year when he befriended Eric Schmidt as they together surveyed the post-occupation wreckage of Baghdad. Just months later, Schmidt re-created Cohen’s natural habitat within Google itself by engineering a ‘think/do tank’ based in New York and appointing Cohen as its head. Google Ideas was born.” An op-ed published on Saturday by RT criticizes Western media for largely ignoring the story of collaboration between Al-Jazeera, Google, and the State Department, although a few mainstream sites like U.K.’s The Independent did cover the story. Michael William Lebron, a media analyst that publishes under the name “Lionel,” told RT: “I don’t expect a reaction from Western media because Western media hasn’t even read this, has no idea about this … But can you imagine if the same set of facts were involved with the different countries, different corporations around the world depending upon your frame of reference. This would either be an outrage or ‘well, maybe this is a delightful and benign cooperation, an independent tech giant … and all for the common good of liberty’ and whatever. It depends upon your perspective.” http://www.mintpressnews.com/wikileaks-google-al-jazeera-encouraged-civil-war-syria/215163/ Other "Clinton emails leak – on Syria, Regime Change & Other" LINK | Hakawi ---------------------- ---------------------- Book:  'When Google Met WikiLeaks' ---------------------- ---------------------- LINK | Hillary Clinton E-Mail Archive WikiLeaks COMMENT There's nothing 'benign' about the American state and American corporate aggression against the sovereign state  of Syria and Syria's government:  in particular its leader, Bashar al-Assad.  Actors who wish to further Saudi, Gulf oil states, Israeli and allied American and Western corporate and geopolitical interests have been involved in the concerted attack on Syria by proxy and by every other means possible (for years now), in order to attack not only Syria, but ultimately Syria's ally, Iran, which the American camp and its followers (especially the powerful pro Israeli camp) have been targeting with sanctions (to weaken) and lobbying hard to attack for years now. Libya sanctions were lifted in 2003, just as the Iran sanctions have recently been lifted. It took the Western alliance 8 years to set up opposition in the Libya and to attack Libya in 2011, in the guise of 'protecting' the civilians:  a population that was then pitched into civil war that still continues. We know that these parties are also not averse to civil war or to sectarian war in Syria, just as they weren't in Iraq or in Libya, as their intentions are *not* benign:  these countries are targets of conquest and internal dissent, violence, Balkanisation -- internal weaknesses -- serve their purposes. So I'm guessing that the lifted sanctions re Iran (and Cuba) are more of the same.  They're lifting sanctions to get close enough to build up opposition in those countries, to the point where *defending* the activities of the 'opposition' (ie their proxies) & 'defending' 'hooman rights', can then be used as an excuse for what is war of aggression planned by the West. That's my theory so far, but I'm taking wild gut instinct guesses instead of knowing all the ins and outs of this (I've yet to read my copy of The WikiLeaks Files). Syria should be supported in view of this brazen, concerted, aggressive US & friends led campaign to destroy and Balkanise a nation, much like they did Iraq,  by illegal conquest, for perverse exploitation by the same coterie of American-led aggressors. PS ...  Check out how close the Twitter & Google tech mob are to the US Department of State:  no wonder all we get is controlled media propaganda and CENSORSHIP of real voices on these communication and information platforms that have been hijacked and monopolised by those that are engaged self enrichment, along with US state political agenda pushing.
