Now he has kept his word, and in the face of threats from the US government to criminalize him for something that other media and publishers are constantly doing, he is now striking back. What WikiLeaks publishes is a veritable cornucopia of new revelations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Among the listed documents is one that is supposed to be an email from Zurich bank Julius Baer to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, in whose text it says [2]:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">\u201cDear Mrs. Merkel. We would like to point out that you close all accounts with Julius Baer Zurich and Guernsey. It is not our policy to hide funds in offshore accounts, which are obviously used for payments by German politicians. The last payments of USD 1,200,000 were transferred to a numbered account with Credit Suisse. These payments miss any reason and therefore these are suspicious transactions that we have to report to the authorities. We ask you to sign the attached confirmations and in particular to end your trust and that of your husband in Julius Baer, Guernsey\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Among other things, there are also alleged letters of the former German minister Otto Schily on the case of Khaled el Masri, a German victim of an abduction by the American foreign secret service CIA. One document also deals with Switzerland. A confidential letter deals with the IP surveillance of Swiss Internet users.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The subsequent Wikileaks documents could now trigger an avalanche and lead to the fall of many politicians and governments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><strong>Links:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/file.wikileaks.org\/file\/\">https:\/\/file.wikileaks.org\/file\/<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"https:\/\/file.wikileaks.org\/file\/angela-merkel.pdf\">https:\/\/file.wikileaks.org\/file\/angela-merkel.pdf<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Commentar of a German investigative journalist (Hadmut Danisch):<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\"><a style=\"color: #ccffff;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.danisch.de\/blog\/2019\/04\/18\/wikileaks-merkel-millionen\/\">http:\/\/www.danisch.de\/blog\/2019\/04\/18\/wikileaks-merkel-millionen\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">This is an extremely explosive process \u2013 the question is what is real about it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The Schweizer Morgenpost reports that WikiLeaks, as a \u201creceipt\u201d for Julian Assange\u2019s arrest, has virtually emptied their ammunition dumps into the public eye and published all sorts of explosive material that is supposed to be suitable for overthrowing politicians and governments.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_154928\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Merkel-Sign-830520.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-154928\" class=\"wp-image-154928 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Merkel-Sign-830520-300x178.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"178\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-154928\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Angela Merkel with a Masonic hand sign. Click to enlarge<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Among them Angela Merkel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">They publish an \u2013 alleged \u2013 letter from Bank Julius Baer from 2007 to \u201cAngela Merkel\u201d, in which she is told in what I think is an unbanking tone that their accounts are being closed because they do not want to participate in financing German politicians from \u201coffshore accounts\u201d. The last payments over 1,200,000 US dollars had even been made to a Credit Suisse numbered account, were not plausible and therefore suspicious, and had therefore been reported to the authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">She is asked to close her \u201ctrust\u201d and that of her spouse, although I am not quite sure what trust means here, it can be a foundation, trust, investment company, i.e. different legal forms of \u201cmanaged pile of money\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The problem with this is that it is trivial to forge such a wipe. And I find the tone somehow strange. In my opinion, bankers would either not express themselves in this way at all or only if they are already angry and\/or fear trouble with the authorities. So the question is whether the thing is real.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The second problem is that it is not specific enough. Theoretically Angela Merkel could be a millionaire and do what she wants with her money as long as the income is properly taxed. What is not quite clear to me is whether she herself would have to be named as a party donor if she were to \u201cfinance politicians\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The time in 2007 is also remarkable, especially since the thing must have a history, because Merkel became Chancellor in November 2005. And then a letter like that in November 2007?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">In contrast to the big earner Merz, I wouldn\u2019t have known that Merkel had pursued any other profession outside the GDR than that of politician or had done any business. Where would so much money come from if she was selfemployed?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">So are there external sources of money? Which would come into question?<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">SED billions?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">American donors, such as the omnipresent George Soros?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Arab donors? To facilitate arms deals, migration and so on?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">I remember the rumour that Helmut Kohl\u2019s attitude not to betray CDU donors was a clever move, because there were no donors at all and the money came from black accounts, which is much worse, but nobody thought about it, because they were all hunting for non-existent phantom donors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">It also reminds me of the tax affair of Alice Schwarzer, who had stashed a few million untaxed and secretly in Switzerland. And it reminds me of Katrin Suder, who had been given a completely overpaid job as State Secretary.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Somehow it stinks of the fact that there is a whole network of feminist-left, often lesbian activists, who all have their \u201csheep in the dry\u201d somewhere, their personal pension fund or their escape fund, as is customary with agents and professional killers, so that they can disappear somewhere at any time into an inconspicuous warm home when things get hot.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">I\u2019ve always found it astonishing how many publicly paid bangers in the public service and public radio and on boards of directors get significantly more money than the Chancellor. That was never quite clear to me. Perhaps there are still unofficial sources of money.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Curiously I find that yesterday in the SMOPO emerged and the reactions are actually equal to zero.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">First of all I have to find out if the writing is real at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veteranstoday.com\/2019\/04\/18\/wiki-war-assange-v-merkel\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assange has hit back following his arrest by disclosing emails between Angela Merkel and Swiss Bank Julius Baer, which if true, implicate her in money-laundering <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39262,"featured_media":178371,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[19,58],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-187145","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-Behind_The_News","category-Current_Affairs"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187145","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/39262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=187145"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187145\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":187150,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/187145\/revisions\/187150"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/178371"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=187145"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=187145"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=187145"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
