Listen to the podcast!
The function of the Assange/Manafort Article in November 2018 was to assist US/UK national security objectives in terminating Julian Assange’s political asylum and effect his expulsion from the Ecuadorian Embassy.
The lie that Trump Campaign Manager Paul Manafort visited Julian Assange in the Ecuadorian Embassy was manufactured to give the Department of Justice legitimacy in starting an investigation directly onto Julian Assange. In December 2018 six US Senators (Schumer,Durbin, Feinstein, Menendez, Engel, Nadler) wrote to head of State Department Mike Pompeo to report from his meeting with Ecuadorian Foreign Minister Valencia on the 26th of November. They reference the false Manafort/Assange story ‘reported in the media’. On Jan 7 DoJ issued letters rogatory to interrogate six former diplomats & staff at Ecuador’s London embassy following Guardian’s fabricated story of Assange-Manafort meetings. US interrogations took place in Quito and London on the 18th and 20th of January 2019. Under the continued Mutual Legal cooperation, before terminating the political asylum Ecuadorian authorities agreed to hand over property of Julian Assange to the FBI in the UK.
JADC’s David Mizrachi has identified 5 corrections by The Guardian already:
- The original headline “Manafort held secret talks with Assange in Ecuadorian embassy” now ends with “, sources say”
- Manafort’s and Wikileaks denials of having ever been in contact were not in the original, indicating they hadn’t been consulted or taken notice of
- “why Manafort wanted to see Assange” is now “why Manafort would have wanted to see Assange”
- “the last meeting” is now “the last apparent meeting”
- “Why Manafort sought out Assange” is now “Why Manafort would have sought out Assange”
Let’s get them to Correct the Record in The Assange Case!

“The Guardian, Washington Post and New York Times have been publishing a stream of deliberate lies, in collusion with the security services. The idea of the “liberal media” no longer exists in the new plutocratic age. The press are not on the side of the people, they are an instrument of elite control. “
