Assange Declared “Enemy of the State”

THE US military has designated Julian Assange and WikiLeaks as enemies of the United States – the same legal category as the al-Qaeda terrorist network and the Taliban insurgency.

Declassified US Air Force counter-intelligence documents, released under US freedom-of-information laws, reveal that military personnel who contact WikiLeaks or WikiLeaks supporters may be at risk of being charged with “communicating with the enemy”, a military crime that carries a maximum sentence of death.

The documents, some originally classified “Secret/NoForn” – not releasable to non-US nationals – record a probe by the air force’s Office of Special Investigations into a cyber systems analyst based in Britain who allegedly expressed support for WikiLeaks and attended pro-Assange demonstrations in London.

The counter-intelligence investigation focused on whether the analyst, who had a top-secret security clearance and access to the US military’s Secret Internet Protocol Router network, had disclosed classified or sensitive information to WikiLeaks supporters, described as an “anti-US and/or anti-military group”.

The suspected offence was “communicating with the enemy, 104-D”, an article in the US Uniform Code of Military Justice that prohibits military personnel from “communicating, corresponding or holding intercourse with the enemy”.

The analyst’s access to classified information was suspended. However, the investigators closed the case without laying charges. The analyst denied leaking information.

Mr Assange remains holed up in Ecuador’s embassy in London. He was granted diplomatic asylum on the grounds that if extradited to Sweden to be questioned about sexual assault allegations, he would be at risk of extradition to the US to face espionage or conspiracy charges arising from the leaking of hundreds of thousands of secret US military and diplomatic reports.

US Vice-President Joe Biden labelled Mr Assange a “high-tech terrorist” in December 2010 and US congressional leaders have called for him to be charged with espionage.

Sarah Palin and Mike Huckabee – both once involved in presidential campaigns – have both urged that Mr Assange be “hunted down”.

Mr Assange’s US attorney, Michael Ratner, said the designation of WikiLeaks as an “enemy” had serious implications for the WikiLeaks publisher if he were to be extradited to the US, including possible military detention.

US Army private Bradley Manning faces a court martial charged with aiding the enemy – identified as al-Qaeda – by transmitting information that, published by WikiLeaks, became available to the enemy.

Mr Ratner said that under US law it would most likely have been considered criminal for the US Air Force analyst to communicate classified material to journalists and publishers, but those journalists and publishers would not have been considered the enemy or prosecuted.

“However, in the FOI documents there is no allegation of any actual communication for publication that would aid an enemy of the United States such as al-Qaeda, nor are there allegations that WikiLeaks published such information,” he said.

“Almost the entire set of documents is concerned with the analyst’s communications with people close to and supporters of Julian Assange and WikiLeaks, with the worry that she would disclose classified documents to Julian Assange and WikiLeaks.

“It appears that Julian Assange and WikiLeaks are the ‘enemy’. An enemy is dealt with under the laws of war, which could include killing, capturing, detaining without trial, etc.”

The Australian government has repeatedly denied knowledge of any US intention to charge Mr Assange or seek his extradition.

However, Australian diplomatic cables released to Fairfax Media under freedom-of-information laws over the past 18 months have confirmed the continuation of an “unprecedented” US Justice Department espionage investigation targeting Mr Assange and WikiLeaks.

The Australian diplomatic reports canvassed the possibility that the US may eventually seek Mr Assange’s extradition on conspiracy or information-theft-related offences to avoid extradition problems arising from the nature of espionage as a political offence and the free-speech protections in the US constitution.

Mr Assange is scheduled this morning to speak by video link to a meeting on his asylum case on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. The meeting will be attended by Ecuadorean Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino.

In a separate FOI decision yesterday, the Department of Foreign Affairs confirmed that the release of Australian diplomatic cables about WikiLeaks and Mr Assange had been the subject of extensive consultation with the US.

Very good reminder.

It was only a matter of time before actions that the USA did not approve of, became "war".

When civil disobedience became crime, crime became terrorism, and banning GM products became military style sanctions it is only natural that hacking became declarations of war

I think the wingnuts in America will breathe a sigh of relief and feel that warm righteous glow of victory and vindication when they have finally left the rest of the world as smouldering rubble.

Then, they can finally say that they are the "city on the hill" and deep down believe it.

The 'Truth' is on 'Trial' - 'Kangaroo Court Style' - Not Julian Assange..!

The campaign within the embarressing "truth" movement that Assange=cointelpro is in fact cointelpro.

It is another project funded by the US governement/military and the Corporate empire that he and wikileaks pissed off.

Another fucking astro-turf Tea Party with the usual help from , militia survivalist types, patriotards, neo nazis, closet neo cons and new age crypto fascists.

I read somewhere sometime, that the hackers could save us from a NWO. I wonder,

Read an interesting poem:
"In order to speak of the Truth it is necessary that all your acts be false.
To speak of what is Saintly you must vomit blood upon the holy books.
To speak of Life you must listen in your own flesh the singing of the warms.
To speak on Poetry you must kneel and lick the stones." ---ALEJANDRO JODOROWSKY

Very relevant indeed.
What is it that makes people forget such simple and really obvious things?
Or better still...what is it that makes people avoid noticing it at all!?

Unfortunately it seems we all human beings learn through REPETITION,
So after things have been repeated long enough ,they sink in, we start believing them.
In this the MEDIA plays an important role of conditioning our "beliefs", which are nothing but brainwashing through repeating our minds until we think it is our idea, and it isn't.

The Enemy of the State title given to Julian Assange, seems to be taken right out of Orwell's 1984
