‘Paranoid, vain and jealous’ – the secret life of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange

Posted on by

Hed rather spend hours Googling himself than have his own say in the pages of his autobiography.

In the end Assange's publisher, Cannongate, releases its own version of the autobiography, after Assange allegedly fails to honour the terms of his contract. The book flopped, selling only 700 copies in its first week

During their time together Assange behaves in front of OHagan like an egotistical tyrant interested more in his own self-publicity than in changing the world. Worse still, he turns on his friends with increasing regularity, rather than focusing his anger on his enemies.

At one stage Assange describes the Ecuadorean ambassador offering him diplomatic asylum as mad, fat and ludicrous for going on a diet because she did not like the photographs of herself in the press.

The WikiLeaks founder is also disparaging of his former ally Jemima Khan, who put up the surety for his bail before he broke its conditions by seeking refuge in the embassy. OHagan recounts: He didnt pause to ask why a loyal supporter might become aggrieved; when I raised it with him he simply made a horribly sexist remark.

Earlier OHagan had watched as Assange leered at two 14-year-old girls as they walked past a caf table at which they were sitting. OHagan writes how Assange thought they were fine, until he saw one was wearing braces.

Even Assanges girlfriend, WikiLeaks researcher Sarah Harrison, grew increasingly frustrated at his behaviour during the weeks he spent on bail at Ellingham Hall, in Norfolk, the home of another of his guarantors, Vaughan Smith, the founder of the Frontline Club.

Miss Harrison says of Assange: He openly chats girls up and has his hands on their a**e and goes nuts if I even talk to another guy. Hes like threatened to fire me a few times and always for crazy reasons. One of the times was literally because I had hugged another member of staff. Julian was like 'thats so disrespectful to me.

Indeed Miss Harrison appears to begin having doubts about Assanges account of his relationship with the two Swedish women who have accused him of rape.

She tells OHagan: It was weird. Like, why was he even staying with those girls? He didnt rape them, but he was really f****** stupid.

NSA Targeted WikiLeaks, Pressured Foreign Countries to Arrest Julian Assange for Publishing

Posted on by

A new release of Edward Snowdens NSA leaks reveals that the NSA and the UK spy agency GCHQ targeted the non-terrorist website WikiLeaks and the human network that supports WikiLeaks.

That human network included millions of innocent people who read the WikiLeaks website.

According to The Intercept, "By exploiting its ability to tap into the fiber-optic cables that make up the backbone of the Internet, [GCHQ] confided to allies in 2012, it was able to collect the IP addresses of visitors in real time, as well as the search terms that visitors used to reach the site from search engines like Google."

Another classified NSA document (from August 2010) reportedly shows how the Obama administration pushed foreign countries to file criminal charges against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange for publishing the Afghanistan war logs.

Sweden did press charges and the UK tried to extradite Assange, who escaped by seeking asylum in the Ecuador embassy in London.

The Afghanistan war logs included the infamous killing of several Reuters reporters in Iraq by an US gunship in 2007 (video below).

As far back as 2008, the U.S. Army designated WikiLeaks as a "threat" and drew up plans to stop it, noted The New York Times.

According to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, "The US government is engaging in forum shopping, trying to get countries with less speech-protective laws to engage in prosecutions that would violate the Constitution if they were tried here. Publishing classified documents is not illegal in the United States, and the US has not charged WikiLeaks with any crime for publishing the Afghanistan war logs or any other classified documents."

This seems to be confirmed by a November 2013 report by The Washington Post which said the US could not prosecute Assange without going after all the media outlets that published WikiLeaks content.

The NSA documents also show that the spy agency considered spying on "Anonymous" affiliates and users of file-sharing site Pirate Bay, which has nothing to do with terrorism.
