Francis O\u2019Neill \u2013 The Unz Review July 3, 2024<\/strong><\/h1>\n

In recent years the lockdowns, mandates, and toxic injections, have served to reveal the true nature of people in positions of influence.<\/p>\n

Before 2020 we had a different measure of people\u2019s ethical standing -the 9\/11 litmus test. This was articulated in a\u00a0video<\/a>, the\u00a0transcript<\/a>\u00a0of which reads,<\/p>\n

Everyone in government and every field of endeavor the world over is defined by their position on this event\u2026By what they have said and by what they have not said, one can accurately judge who is an enemy of the people\u2019s of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2010, Julian Assange told the\u00a0Belfast Telegraph<\/a>,<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m constantly annoyed that people are distracted by false conspiracies such as 9\/11, when all around we provide evidence of real conspiracies, for war or mass financial fraud.\u201d<\/p>\n

The litmus test continues,<\/p>\n

Anyone who promotes the official story; who accepts the official story, who oppresses those who doubt the official story, who does not question the official story, is involved or too stupid to pat their head and chew gum at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the Holberg Debate in 2017,\u00a0Assange answered a question<\/a>\u00a0by saying,<\/p>\n

on the 9\/11 issue generally I don\u2019t think it is particularly important.\u201d<\/p>\n

The litmus test concludes,<\/p>\n

Everyone in government; in the media, in entertainment, in organized religion, in the public eye and in the public who accepts and promotes the official story is either a traitor or a tool.\u201d<\/p>\n

Assange\u2019s views on 9\/11 tally with those of his supporter, MIT professor Noam Chomsky, who\u00a0despite knowing better<\/a>, said of the case for controlled demolition,<\/p>\n

I think it\u2019s completely wrong- but also I think it\u2019s diverting people away from serious issues. I mean even if it is true, which is extremely unlikely, who cares? I mean it doesn\u2019t have any significance.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

There are those who consider<\/a>\u00a0the\u00a0truth of the foundational event<\/a>\u00a0of the \u2018War on Terror,\u2019\u00a0to be important<\/a>, and the\u00a0concordant evidence<\/a>\u00a0that disproves the official 9\/11 story to be\u00a0significant<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As with others who failed the 9\/11 litmus test, Chomsky went on to\u00a0advocate for the medical tyranny<\/a>\u00a0of the 2020s, in relation to which Assange\u2019s Wikileaks was notable only\u00a0for selling masks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

Assange\u2019s comments on 9\/11 came after Barack Obama\u2019s information czar, Cass Sunstein, addressed the question\u00a0What can government do about conspiracy theories?\u00a0<\/em>in a\u00a0paper<\/a>\u00a0that concluded,<\/p>\n

\u201c that government should engage in cognitive infiltration of the groups that produce conspiracy theories\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

by<\/p>\n

\u201c-counterspeech, marshaling arguments to discredit conspiracy theories.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201c-formally hiring credible private parties to engage in counterspeech.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201c-informal communication with such parties, encouraging them to help.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Sunstein announced the arrival of Wikileaks to the world in a 2007 Washington Post\u00a0article<\/a>\u00a0and was co-author of the \u2018nudge theory<\/a>\u2018 utilised by governments during the lockdown era. \u2018Nudge\u2019 techniques had previously been known as propaganda, coercion, and brainwashing.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, for a man with a messianic image, Assange\u2019s\u00a0mother\u2019s partner was a member<\/a>\u00a0of a child-drugging cult called \u2018The Family\u2019. This cult had echoes of the CIA mind control programme \u2018MK-Ultra\u2019 that was officially winding down as \u2018the Family\u2019 was founded in Australia.<\/p>\n

Though there are photographs of a boy who resembles Assange in the cult, he is instead said to have attended 37 separate schools, but,<\/p>\n

If Julian spent 4 years at one school\u2026and the school year is only 9 months long\u2026 Julian was swapping schools every 6 weeks.\u201d[source<\/a>]<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Family disbanded in 1987 following a police raid when Assange was 16. Its founder,<\/p>\n

Anne Hamilton-Byrne \u2026 was never prosecuted for child abuse, false adoptions, forgery, social security fraud or for overseeing the administration of narcotics and psychiatric drugs on children.\u201d [source<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Assange then operated under the hacker alias \u2018Mendax\u2019 which means \u2018liar\u2019 in Latin. He was caught and \u201cin December 1996, he pleaded guilty to twenty-five charges.<\/em>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>His \u2018disrupted childhood\u2019 was \u2018cited to justify his lenient penalty.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

A relationship with the US government is suggested by Assange\u2019s inclusion in a 1994 email with employees from NASA, Los Alamos Laboratories and SEMATECH. His former hacking comrade Pieter Zaitko, who went on to work for a DARPA military contractor, said<\/a>,<\/p>\n

Julian told me that his graduate work had been funded by a US Government grant, specifically NSA and DARPA money which was supposed to be used for \u2018fundamental security research.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

John Young, an early Wikileaks collaborator who registered the wikileaks.org domain\u00a0has subsequently been scathing in his criticism of the group<\/a>, commenting that,\u00a0\u201ceveryone associated with WL is a bald-faced liar, an agent of the authorities and the worst of the world,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0and that\u00a0\u2018Wikileaks has always been a commercial enterprise hiding behind a narcissistic \u201cpublic interest\u201d PR.\u2019 \u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

In\u00a0leaked emails<\/a>\u00a0Assange suggested wikileaks could run on $50,000 per year but his desire to secure $5 million led to\u00a0\u201cdelicate negotiations with the Open Society (George Soros),\u201d\u00a0<\/em>and a\u00a0\u201cstrategy for division and support.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Assange was reported to\u00a0own 94% of the (for profit) company that owns wikileaks<\/a><\/em>. He planned that wikileaks would:<\/p>\n

appear to be, the reclusive ubermench of the 4th estate.\u201d<\/p>\n

and to,<\/p>\n

\u201ccontinually inject our informational strain\u2026. to dominate the culture when opposed by relatively random influences of others\u2026 to push our desired perceptions of what WL is into the world, to set the key in which future bars of our song are to be played by the public orchestra, BEFORE it faces any serious opposition.\u201d<\/p>\n

The extensive media coverage Assange has received contrasts starkly with the way the\u00a0truth of 9\/11<\/a>\u00a0or vaccine harms is ignored and censored.<\/p>\n

Other\u00a0whistleblowers<\/a>\u00a0remain\u00a0largely unknown.<\/a>\u00a0Seeking to avoid being extradited to the US he was forced to stay in London, one of the media centres of the world, in the embassy of Ecuador, a US ally.<\/p>\n

During the lockdown period the media\u00a0highlighted prominent figures campaigning for his release<\/a>\u00a0whilst demonstrations against the incarceration of the wider public were under-reported.<\/p>\n

Assange is said to have endured a lack of daylight at the embassy -which has windows and where he appeared on a balcony. Similarly, he is said to have suffered constant surveillance but also to have sired two sons in a relationship that was kept secret until 2020 and during which he enjoyed visits from\u00a0Pamela Anderson<\/a>. He apparently married in prison but we are told the photographs of the event are too grainy to be recognisable. When he was\u00a0forcibly carried from the embassy<\/a>\u00a0in full public view a Gore Vidal book was not dislodged from his grip.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Assange remains the only one of the wikileaks team to be given a high profile and pursued by the authorities. Alongside dissidents Edward Snowden and Bradley Manning, he has been depicted in a\u00a0statue that has been given prominence around the world<\/a>. The trio operate as examples to those in the respective fields of journalism, intelligence, and the military.<\/p>\n

Like Snowden,\u00a0who also fails the 9\/11 litmus test<\/a>, Assange has had a Hollywood movie made about him.<\/p>\n

Despite the reported psychological torture imposed upon him, Manning was\u00a0permitted to pursue his trans-gender inclinations whilst in custody<\/a>, setting a precedent for the US military.<\/p>\n

Critics of Wikileaks observe that its leaks do not pack a punch that western imperialists cannot stomach, and instead they seem to support narratives concerning western targets such as\u00a0Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran<\/a>, and\u00a0favour allies such as Israel<\/a>.\u00a0Concerns have been raised<\/a>\u00a0that Wikileaks could serve as a filtering system for disclosures and a honey-trap for whistleblowers.<\/p>\n

As the Assange story provides a long-running cautionary tale for journalists, its\u00a0most infamous leak<\/a>\u00a0features the murder of war correspondents. Wikileaks\u2019 revelations of spying, torture, and war crimes, expose those lower down the chain of command and address the symptoms of the \u2018war of terror,\u2019 but not its instigators or its cause.<\/p>\n
