“Assange should go down in history as one of the most consequential figures of this era in terms of taking on [the US].” Jeremy Scahill, an investigative journalist, talks about why the jailing of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange serves as a threat today against anyone considering becoming a whistleblower. Scahill talks to Al Jazeera’s @phillavelle about why governments have been targeting investigative reporting.

Assange
Open the doors of deception
Of the western MIC oligarchy that masquerades as a democracy
The world is searching for a saviour ……….Asange was one but very few recognised him😂 we should have stood by him
💯
Assange = Legend
Verdade ASSANGE JULIAN LIVRE para sempre.
The elite want us to believe they are the good guys, when they have too many skeletons in the cupboard. They need to be exposed for the kind of people, they are liars.
Interesting that I was physically blocked from liking this short🚩 That speaks volumes🐸🧛🤔
Assange makes Australians proud!❤
Yet our government didn’t help him at all, and the same month he was finally freed, the Australian government imprisoned David McBride for exposing Australian war crimes in Afghanistan
So – you protect the man ?
@@wilhelmbeck8498all humans protect him, none humans don’t
Hahahahwha you ppl hand over to American your real father 😂😂😂😂
@@wilhelmbeck8498 Don’t confuse the people with the government
Assange for world president.
In other words he is a Modern day Jesus Christ!!!
🤣🤣
Saint Paul. Maybe Barabbas. Jesus wasn’t the only one to be crucified.
Julian Assange is the most freedom fighter journalist of our time.He proved .We live in a Empire of lies .The Justice system dominated by Criminal politician.The secret service are for illegal and secret operation of regimes
The western system dominated by US is.CC.C.(Cruel,Criminal,Corrupted and raciest).Majority of Journalist are vulture journalist .
💯 💯 💯 💯
Assange would still he at liberty if he was a better houseguest.
He is at liberty. He did the right thing for his family by taking a plea deal. If he had ended up in an American jail, he would have been murdered, just as Navalney was murdered by Putin. America is not above committing war crimes. Julian exposed this. Now, he is rightfully home.
Edward Snowden and Julian Assange are the most important couples in the recent history of new generation .They opened the window of liberation all over the world making the tyrannies to be stripped from lies and principals and laws they brought and never respected by them
We are in the wrong timeline 😢😢😢
❤
He was arrested because he showed the truth of so called moral armies who kill innocents without any reason
Hail Hydra in full effect. Orwell was on the money, the British had a big file on him too…
Truer words were never spoken
He persevered
Assange sacrificed his freedom so that the rest of humanity could cherish theirs.
Did the people ask for Assange to be arrested? No. So America is not democratically run. We need to make America democratic
Except Assange selectively targeted the US and other governments, along with western corporate interests, while largely giving a pass to the dictators of the world, even when he had dirt on them. He probably knew he’d have his nuts handed to him if he went after Russia or China. No hero, just a friend to authoritarians who masquerades as a freedom fighter. Sadly, this is a popular cover story these days.
Seems as tho US is now officially the world’s number one enemy
he changed nothing
@@kennethmueller5840 you changed nothing
Sure, he embarrassed America by showing the world that America is just as liable to commit war crimes as any other country. Thank you, Julian.
YouTube, EZEKIEL 38 wars.
Countries destroyed for opposing the Palestine occupation.
Somalia Sudan Libya Yemen Afghanistan Iraq Syria Lebanon Palestine Russia Rohingya Uighur Kashmir Kosovan Iran.
Thank you julian.
Julian Assange paid a high price for taking on the lying machinery of power. God bless him
Except when you’re trump then it’s ok to spill national secrets 🙄
Such as??
@ ask Putin
Men like Assange are born by the will and plan of GOD , and they are unstoppable in future too.
And then they demonify Iran, Iraq, etc..and they themselves prove all the time how evil they too have become
💯
Many many people throughout the world DO recognize him as a hero. And that’s what kept him alive I believe❤
He still has a lot of life of him. He also has his wife and children. And no one destroyed his memory and brain functions or prevented him from living and working as happened and is still happening to others they targeted and their 41 year old case is still not tried because it exposes their whole criminal machine with its joints.
❤
Crucified by the country that actually has a “Whistleblower Protection Act”….
Government: We meant to tell on your employer, not on us!
Exactly. Even being a lowly employee at a VA hospital, whistleblowing can cost you your life.
USA is the dog of israel and not powerful
What he revealed as a journalist was multiple crimes.
The gamification of death and destruction of civilians, followed by US spokes people and the media, glossing over the truth, deflecting responsibility, while behind the scenes continuing the slaughter. Business as usual for decades.
He then tore down the facade so people could see the scale of evil that they had elected.
They wanted him dead ideally. Broken mentally and vilified faking that. And they spent many years trying to achieve one or the other.
As to the crimes divulged, almost nothing was done. They investigated themselves and that was the end of it.
But if you look into it you will see how systematic it all was. Down to destroying the entire infrastructure (bridges, schools, universities, hospitals, water, sewage, power and telecommunications). The Isreal playbook for Gaza has perfected in Iraq.
Assange was the only one that caught them with their pants on fire, using their own data, videos and orders.
ASSANGE PAID A VERY HIGH PRICE FOR HIS COURAGE TO TELL THE TRUTH. AND HE KEPT FIGHTING BEYOND WHAT MOST COULD EVER IMAGINE.
America is becoming increasingly irrelevant
Sounds like a psychological projection
You mean the USA!
It’s not irrelevant, it’s dangerous. Extremely dangerous
InShaAllah
Irrelevant is the wrong word, but you just sound insecure 😂 @@ilya4759
I would hope that President Trump pardons JULIAN ASSANGE.
@@TheGladeGirl already done
@ …. Could you please elaborate
🍊had the chance to pardon Julian Assange, but he did NOT. And, his CIA buddy pimpeo* tried to murder him. *Pompeo 🤦🏻♀️smh👎🏼
🍉✌🏼💜
And did anyone give a flying f*** that the NSA was spying on them? Nope, life went on as normal
Julian gave the objective facts to what we all believed…that there was another evil empire.
Assange persevered all the abuse and looks like my despicables at the whiphouze are not only facing 2 other losses but their economy collapsing taking down with them all the ones that believed in the **onist narcissism of occupation and gen O side!!!
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
“There will come to the people years of treachery, when the liar will be regarded as honest, and the honest man will be regarded as a liar; the traitor will be regarded as faithful, and the faithful man will be regarded as a traitor; and the Ruwaibidah will decide matters.’ It was said: ‘Who are the Ruwaibidah?’ He said: ‘Vile and base men who control the affairs of the people.’”
Assange was spreading nuclear secrets with countries like Iran. Those type of secrets can destroy the world if preserved in the wrong hands. The US didn’t destroy the world.
Thank you Julian fir standing for justice
assange never cared for justice.
@@jowrjowr ASSANGE PAID A VERY HIGH PRICE FOR HIS COURAGE TO TELL THE TRUTH. AND HE KEPT FIGHTING BEYOND WHAT MOST COULD EVER IMAGINE.Lets see if You can do it better
@@jowrjowr u never did, thats why came here to spread hate!
@@JeremyMseitif better? better than what, being a russian intelligence conduit for hack and leak operations? why did assange refuse to publish the panama papers?
“The West has become what it longed condemned, ” words of Judge Nap.
Palestine is the truth and no one can beat the truth and Israel can not lie anymore
He needs to get Nobel prize of something of a kind for humanity which is not painted with selfishness one sided interest but pure kindness to humanity
America tells it’s people that everyone wants to destroy their way of live.. when they say their, they mean themselves.. i.e.e the high powers.. Islam would liberate people.. yet they make you believe their coming for your freedom.. you are not free in the United States and if you are free of doing anything it’s making sure America makes enough money from you in taxes that it can shred the world.
Thanks assange
Nope.👎
The way the US persecuted Assange has made it my enemy for life.
100% x 10 🙏
Assange was a legend but his efforts were not enough to reprogram the npcs in the west 😂
❤❤❤❤Assange❤❤❤❤
None of that is true
You are ignorant. The video is available to see. American military murdering innocent civilians. Get back to us when you have educated yourself.
I understand what he was doing and why …but at the same time he was being a traitor to our security.and country…if it was a different dictator country..he would be dead
You should be a citizen of Iran and he should be the one who sold irán secrets. Now you should go in Iranian TV and give this interview. Then you will know what freedom is.
Even scarier, he didn’t reveal anything. He just provided a platform…..
When a state starts to think that it is untouchable no matter what it does than state has gone over its used by date and it must be brought down.
Still a lowkey ABC asset.
There was a point in this recent history Assange was just pointing out at an open secret.
The world we live in: Vicious, government-sponsored criminal activity goes unpunished while those who reported it are punished.
Assange rescued me ❤
Thank year
100%
The UK and the USA Politicians Sponsored by AIPAC & Arms Trade Industries Lobbying ! Pretending to be Free Speech Nations.
The useless states of America. Worlds largest terrorist organization..
If germany was made to pay back to England for the destruction it did in ww2. So america should be charged to pay to iraqis, Afghanistan, somalia, Venezuelan people, cubans, koreans, syrians, Lebanons. Israel and america should pay to all the civilians they killed. Where is the looted gold of Iraq cause of which america printing bills till date.
Well you can say the same about Edward Snowden. He pretty much risked his entire life for this.
Nobel prize only given to imperialists and their servants!
They tried to break his image but made him a HERO in the eyes of the world
Assange is not safe anywhere in the Western world.
He needs to move or will be deleted
You are wrong sir
Thank you for speaking up for Julian Assange. As a fellow Australian, I have supported him to the best of my ability and been inspired by him. America has ever made itself the policeman of the world, inflicting itself on countries who have not wanted their interference. In memory of the innocent civilians murdered by the American military. I pray he stays safe to live out his life with his family.
inShaAllah he will be back soon, exposing all of the Geno side and War brimes!
👏👏👏👏
He is a great human being
Excellent points explained here!!!😮😮😮
It wasn’t an attempt to crucify him it was an outright plot to murder him.
❤️❣️❤️
Secret of Nine*1*1 is still hidden, israel must have got it :O
Julian Assange is a great human being ✌️❤️to the World
Julianne Assange is a true hero! A light which throws shade on mainstream media and biased news
Absolutely right sir
Assange is a world hero
You did your job Julian Assange and we are thankful. 💕💕🇦🇺🇦🇺
100% true,sir.
Exactly, that is why our modern day journalist on mainstream media, are all talking heads
Absolutely! Assange is made an example of him. Hypocritical
USA WAS WRONG TO INCARCERATE LEONARD PELTIER !! ONLY GUILTY OF BEING AN AMERICAN NATIVE !! SHAME ON USA !! LAND OF THE NOT SO FREE !!
*THE WEST’s MORAL FREE-FALL!*
*Assange is a hero.*
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
It’s illegal to classify crimes.
It’s a form of terrorism. I just simply cannot classify it, but it’s meant to terrorize the public to fall in line.
“They are secrets because it embarasses the empire, not because it threatens its security. 1 million murdered in iraq after WMD lies, because “israel” said so”.
Assange is a Russian puppet
Assange was a Putin hack and should be tried for endangering the lives of many human rights activists around the world! Effe him!
Perfectly amplified. Well said, sir.
Julian a criminal pure and simple
