Dirty socks and cat abuse: countering the smears

For more details on the 3 smears highlighted in this new Assange poster head to WLcentral. And remember I am happy to email hi-res files for printing.

If you think the cat abuse smear is too extreme to air, try being named a rapist and a terrorist! Anyway, here's the poster just with Bill Keller's childish 'dirty socks' allegation.

Confidential emails obtained from the US private intelligence firm Stratfor show that the United States Government has had a secret indictment against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange for well over a year.

Fred Burton, Stratfor’s Vice-President for Counterterrorism and Corporate Security, is a former Deputy Chief of the Department of State’s (DoS) counterterrorism division for the Diplomatic Security Service (DSS).

In early 2011, Burton revealed in internal Stratfor correspondence that a secret Grand Jury had already issued a sealed indictment for Assange: "Not for Pub - We have a sealed indictment on Assange. Pls protect."  According to Burton: "Assange is going to make a nice bride in prison. Screw the terrorist. He’ll be eating cat food forever."

A few weeks earlier, following Julian Assange’s release from a London jail, where he had been remanded as a result of a Swedish prosecutor’s arrest warrant, Fred Burton told SkyNews: "extradition [to the US is] more and more likely".

Real questions for Bob Carr

A new poster series with some real questions Foreign Minister Bob Carr should be asking the US administration.

Thanks for content to Bernard Keane who has written a great article for Crikey magazine entitled "Bob Carr, in full flight from the facts on Assange". Here's an extract:

As Assange laid out carefully in his interview with the ABC on Friday morning, there is copious evidence on the public record of a US investigation into Assange. The evidence has emerged during the trial of Bradley Manning, evidence has come from witnesses like David House who have been subpoenaed to testify before the grand jury pursuing Assange, evidence has come from the efforts of Twitter and Twitter account holders to fight subpoenas relating to the investigation.

Assange: Not running, fighting

Much of the mainstream media is deliberately missing the point... and the facts. Julian Assange is not running from anything, he's fighting for justice.   

The facts in this poster series are thanks to Julian's inspirational mum, Christine Assange. Facts source WLcentral. (updated June 24)

Asylum for Assange?

UPDATE from WLcentral's live blog: 01:00 BST Ecuadorian Foreign Minister Ricardo Patiño Aroca made a statement on Twitter regarding Julian Assange's request for asylum. Here is a translation via @Jaraparilla:

Thanks for the thousands of messages received regarding the request for political asylum made by Julian Assange to the govt of Ecuador yesterday. Assange's request requires in depth analysis. Ecuador declares that it will protect the human rights to life and freedom of expression. We are now studying the risk claimed by Assange of being judged for political reasons and that he could be condemned to death. Ecuador's constitution respects the right to life, does not recognize the death penalty and fully defends freedom of expression. The Ecuadorean government led by Rafael Correa has maintained a sovereign and principal foreign policy which will not change now.

The first thing you can do to support Julian Assange's asylum bid is to add to these messages: email the Ecuador Embassy in London: mailto:ecugranbretania@mmrree.gob.ec

For inspiration, read these great letters from Jacob Appelbaum, Mary Kostakidis and Friends of WikiLeaks.
