Mainstream Media Silent On WikiLeak Revelation Obama Betrayed British Nuclear Secrets

The New York Times has no qualms about releasing Wikileak secrets. They actually played a critical role in the releases. However, the latest secret divulged is very damaging to President Barack Obama. According to information supported by diplomatic cables, Obama sold out the British and has agreed to release their nuclear secrets to the Russians without British approval. Reportedly, this was done to secure Russian agreement to a new START treaty. The Telegraph has reported this story, but the New York Times and other mainstream U.S. media outlets remain silent. Conduct your own Google search and see. A couple of sample searches are here and here. Congress should immediately convene hearings to determine if this disgraceful action has occurred. If it is true, impeachment precedings should begin against President Obama immediately.

Time Mag Editor defends publishing WikiLeaks: "our job is to publish and be damned"

Time Magazine waited two weeks to acknowledge the 'Climategate' leaked emails. Then, they published a mostly debunking story that didn't contain any of the emails.

RICHARD STENGEL, MANAGING EDITOR, “TIME”: You know, our job is to publish and be damned, Howard, and that’s what we have done. Those accusations against Assange in some cases are unfair. I mean, the criminal here, if there is a criminal, is Bradley Manning, who is the PFC in the Army who leaked those documents to Assange in the first place.

KURTZ: But Rick, you say right here in your editor’s note in “TIME” magazine that these documents released by WikiLeaks “harm national security,” and that Assange meant to do so.

STENGEL: Right. I know. But there’s no way around that.

I mean, I believe that’s Assange’s intention. I believe on balance that they have been detrimental to the U.S. But our job is not to protect the U.S. in that sense. I mean, the First Amendment protects us in terms of releasing this information which does enlighten people about the way the U.S. conducts foreign policy.

Obama Administration Orders Government Workers and Contractors To Not Read WikiLeak Cables

Are they serious? Add this to the "not likely" column.

(NY Times) — In a classic case of shutting the barn door after the horse has left, the Obama administration and the Department of Defense have ordered the hundreds of thousands of federal employees and contractors not to read the secret cables and other classified documents published by Wikileaks and news organizations around the world unless the workers have the required security clearance or authorization.

“Classified information, whether or not already posted on public websites or disclosed to the media, remains classified, and must be treated as such by federal employees and contractors, until it is declassified by an appropriate U.S. Government authority,” said the notice sent on Friday afternoon by the Office of Management and Budget, which is part of the White House, to agency and department heads, urging them to distribute it to their staff.

WikiLeaks Show US Bribed Small Countries With Aid Promises to Buy Climate Change Accord Support

It figures. Climate change has always been about the money, not the climate.

The Maldives were unusual among developing countries in embracing the accord so wholeheartedly, but other small island nations were secretly seen as vulnerable to financial pressure. Any linking of the billions of dollars of aid to political support is extremely controversial – nations most threatened by climate change see the aid as a right, not a reward, and such a link as heretical. But on 11 February, Pershing met the EU climate action commissioner, Connie Hedegaard, in Brussels, where she told him, according to a cable, "the Aosis [Alliance of Small Island States] countries 'could be our best allies' given their need for financing".

The pair were concerned at how the $30bn was to be raised and Hedegaard raised another toxic subject – whether the US aid would be all cash. She asked if the US would need to do any "creative accounting", noting some countries such as Japan and the UK wanted loan guarantees, not grants alone, included, a tactic she opposed. Pershing said "donors have to balance the political need to provide real financing with the practical constraints of tight budgets", reported the cable.

Bill O'Reilly calls for execution of Wikileaker (video)

Wikileaker Army private Bradley Manning is an openly gay leftist based on an analysis of his Facebook page. He shouldn't have been allowed in the Army. The most difficult to understand thing about these leaks is why a lowly private in the Army had access to hundreds of thousands of classified and secret documents? Bradley Manning should be executed for his treason.

Wikileaks under denial of service attack, but NYT will publish info for them

We have come to expect betrayal from the people running Wikileaks. Sadly, the New York Times is helping them put the knife in our back.

From Gateway Pundit:

The New York Times, Le Monde, Speigel, the Guardian and El Pais will publish the information tonight anyway.

Copyright violators have domain name seized. "Wikileaks" leaks state secrets and gets a nice letter

Our government must be run by the insane. They have seized dozens of domain names recently for copyright and other violations. What do they do to a site leaking state secrets and jeopardizing American lives? They send them a nice letter asking them to stop.

Dear Ms. Robinson and Mr. Assange:

I am writing in response to your 26 November 2010 letter to U.S. Ambassador Louis B. Susman regarding your intention to again publish on your WikiLeaks site what you claim to be classified U.S. Government documents.

As you know, if any of the materials you intend to publish were provided by any government officials, or any intermediary without proper authorization, they were provided in violation of U.S. law and without regard for the grave consequences of this action. As long as WikiLeaks holds such material, the violation of the law is ongoing.

It is our understanding from conversations with representatives from The New York Times, The Guardian and Der Spiegel, that WikiLeaks also has provided approximately 250,000 documents to each of them for publication, furthering the illegal dissemination of classified documents.

Publication of documents of this nature at a minimum would:

* Place at risk the lives of countless innocent individuals — from journalists to human rights activists and bloggers to soldiers to individuals providing information to further peace and security;

* Place at risk on-going military operations, including operations to stop terrorists, traffickers in human beings and illicit arms, violent criminal enterprises and other actors that threaten global security; and,

*Place at risk on-going cooperation between countries – partners, allies and common stakeholders — to confront common challenges from terrorism to pandemic diseases to nuclear proliferation that threaten global stability.

In your letter, you say you want — consistent with your goal of “maximum disclosure” — information regarding individuals who may be “at significant risk of harm” because of your actions.

Despite your stated desire to protect those lives, you have done the opposite and endangered the lives of countless individuals. You have undermined your stated objective by disseminating this material widely, without redaction, and without regard to the security and sanctity of the lives your actions endanger. We will not engage in a negotiation regarding the further release or dissemination of illegally obtained U.S. Government classified materials. If you are genuinely interested in seeking to stop the damage from your actions, you should: 1) ensure WikiLeaks ceases publishing any and all such materials; 2) ensure WikiLeaks returns any and all classified U.S. Government material in its possession; and 3) remove and destroy all records of this material from WikiLeaks’ databases.

Sincerely,
(The letter is signed by Harold Hongju Koh, legal adviser to the State Department)

WikiLeaks Founder Accused of Rape and Harassment by Two Women (updated)

An arrest warrant has been issued in Sweden for Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. He has been accused of rape and sexual harassment by two women in Sweden.

The Swedish Prosecution Authority released a statement on Saturday morning in which it revealed that the warrant was based on “one report of rape and one report of harassment. A warrant has been put out for the person's arrest since there is a risk that he could hamper the investigation.”

Assange denies the allegations and blames them on the right-wing. He is still reportedly in Sweden.

Update: Charges dropped?

Taliban Plan to Kill Informants Outed By WikiLeaks Documents

The person or people responsible for the WikiLeaks Afghanistan documents release should be tried for treason. They will soon have blood on their hands. Pfc. Manning (pictured above) has been implicated in the leaks.

The Telegraph reported:

The Taliban has issued a warning to Afghans whose names might appear on the leaked Afghanistan war logs as informers for the Nato-led coalition.

In an interview with Channel 4 News, Zabihullah Mujahid, a Taliban spokesman, said they were studying and investigating the report, adding “If they are US spies, then we know how to punish them.”

A Video Response to the Deceptive WikiLeaks "Collateral Murder" Video

WikiLeaks posted a very deceptive and heavily edited video of an alleged attack on alleged unarmed civilians in Fallujah by the US military. Two Reuters reporters were among those killed. The following video response shows the reporters were clearly embedded with armed insurgents.
