WikiLeaks’ Assange: Republicans & Fox News ‘Shock Jocks’ are ‘Terrorists’

While he’s under house arrest in the UK, WikiLeaks’ founder Julian Assange granted an exclusive interview to MSNBC Wednesday in which he defended his organization and redirected frustration toward the Republican Party and Fox News “shock jocks” Mike Huckabee and Sarah Palin.

When MSNBC host/Daily Kos blogger Cenk Uygur asked Assange what he thought of Sen. Mitch McConnell and Vice President Joe Biden’s claims that he was a “high tech terrorist,“ Assange deflected the ”terrorist” label, applying it instead to the Republican Party and Fox News:

UYGUR: Well, Julian, I want to get to as much as possible here. So I want to give you a chance to respond one by one to your critics.

First to Mitch McConnell, who is, of course, the leader of the Republicans in the Senate and to Joe Biden, who both said that — called you a high tech terrorist.

How do you respond to — to Joe Biden, the vice president of the United States, saying that to you?

ASSANGE: Well, let’s look at the definition of terrorism. The definition of terrorism is a group that uses violence or the threat of violence for political ends.

Now, no one in our four year publishing country covering over 120 countries has ever been physically harmed as a result of what we have done. And that’s not just us saying that. It’s the Pentagon saying that. That’s NATO in Kabul saying that. No one — not a shred of evidence. There are — believe me that if they could find or even easily manufacture a shred of evidence, they would be doing that immediately.

So it’s clear that whoever the terrorists are here, it’s not us.

But we see constant threats from people in the Re — you know, Republicans in the Senate trying to make a — a name for themselves, the people like Sarah Palin, top shock jocks on Fox and, unfortunately, some members, also, of the Democratic Party, calling for my assassination, calling for the illegal kidnapping of my staff.

And — and just a few days ago, it was in Fox, that was the phrase that was used — illegal. He should be illegally murdered if necessary– assassinated by the law, if possible, if not, illegally.

What sort of message does that send about the rule of law in the United States?

That is conducting violence in order to achieve a political end — the elimination of this organization or the threat of violence to achieve a political end, the elimination of a publisher. And that is the definition of terrorism.

In addition, Assange claims that Army Pfc. Bradley Manning — the man being held for allegedly leaking the classified documents to WikiLeaks — is a being held as a “political prisoner.”

“If we are to believe the allegations, then this man acted for political reasons. He’s a political prisoner in the United States. He has not gone to trial. … Human rights organizations should be investigating the conditions under which he is held and, really, is there due process there?” Assange said.

In the end, Assange defends WikiLeaks as an organization of “journalists” and calls any claim to the contrary a “deliberate attempt to split us off in the mind of the public from those good traditions of the United States — protecting the rights of the press to publish.”

“Some of those journalists have fallen for that, and why? Because they are worried that they are going to be next,” he continued. “But I have a message to them — they are gonna be next. … So us journalists and publishers and writers, we all have to stick together to resist this sort of reinterpretation of the First Amendment,” he said.

Here’s the full interview:

      Christianity is not “the religion of peace”. That would be Islam — or so they say. God is not a man-made notion of righteousness or justice. Our God is both the God of Peace, and the God of Hosts. If you think God calls his people to stand by and allow the enemy to wreak havoc, you are very mistaken. Don’t confuse meekness with weakness.

He has endangered the lives of people working under cover that were exposed. We will never know what has happened to some of those people as the government will keep it quiet. He is not for transparency or he would be exposing what other countries have been doing—-Iran, North Korea, Venezuela,etc. The list can go on.. Anything that is coming out about them is just because he is exposing our documents. He needs to be stopped and not continue in the name of free speech. It is not that I don’t believe in free speech, but this is not someone who is truly indulging in it. He is deliberately causing this country as much trouble as he can. If he wants to be such a righteous truther, let him start with his own country first. He is making himself our judge and jury by what he is doing. This is not transparency, but a deliberate attack against this country. I hope he gets locked up where he can’t cause any more harm.

      Since he is so concerned about transparency in government, he should have transparency…..in how he acquired the documents……how he was contacted, etc…….but he cant bc he is part of a bigger conspiracy…..involving the obama/soetoro administration….with other traitors to our country…….who placed US classified information on the internet………of the location of our missle sites and how many wzrheads at each site……and the sensitive information from TSA ….on the Homeland Security website…..that Janet Napolitano has yet to expose or investigate….as she stated in a congressional hearing that she would be doing……but has done NOTHING yet….but ignore it all….hoping she can just swept it all back under the rug.

    Julian Assange is, in his own words, interested in Anarchy. I believe the definitions in Wikipedia for Anarchy fit him much better than terrorist.
    * “No rulership or enforced authority.”
    * “A social state in which there is no governing person or group of people, but each individual has absolute liberty (without the implication of disorder).”
    * “Absence of government; a state of lawlessness due to the absence or inefficiency of the supreme power; political disorder.”
    * “Absence or non-recognition of authority and order in any given sphere.”
    * “Acting without waiting for instructions or official permission… The root of anarchism is the single impulse to do it yourself: everything else follows from this.”
    * Anarchy is the basic rule of a no rule society.

    Now doesn’t that sound a lot more like him? What a fun place to live that would be!

      After the theft, give / sell the stolen sensitive info to
      A FOREIGNER. Make sure its to a foreigner.

      I agree with you 100%. Conservatives who have a knee-jerk reaction to Assange’s words forget that Obama is after him too. If Obama really had a case against Assange and were doing things like any other law-abiding president, he would not have gotten Sweden to accuse him of ludicrous sex crimes. How other men agree with this connivance between the US and Sweden is beyond me. The rights of individuals are being egregiously ignored and violated. I don’t care if the man is from the left. If anything else, he has a right to free speech.

Oh, and has anyone lost their job over this? This is sorta like Bush letting the 911 hijackers in, sorta like the gov letting the private in to get the docs? How many people were fired for the hijackers coming in at the only time in history that the air force was not policing our skies? That’s right… NOT ONE LOST THEIR JOB, and NOT ONE WILL LOSE THEIR JOB OVER THIS CASE, except the private, he will be pardoned after the global governance is fully formed and in control. As I said, guess who is Obummer and Holders buddies? MSNBC, so just forget they even brought it up, nothing to see here folks, only the guy the administration said is a terrorist and now the Buddy network has him on, this proves the media is propaganda and paid for by the elites.

      It’s my belief that he WAS trying to undermine our natl. security .. however I think the progressive powers that be had this planned all along. This WAS an attack .. but it wasn’t a false-flag. It is a direct attack on America’s interests worldwide.

It isn’t a conservative/republican vs democrat/liberal thing .. it’s a make the U.S. an “irrelevancy” thing.

      That is not entirely true. Recently, one of the leaks revealed that the Brits did in fact release al-Megrahi because of Libyan threats to end BP oil exploration in Libya. The reason the leaked docs focus on the US is that Manning is American, and the data was stolen from our intel sources. I don’t know if Assange would have the courage to release intel from rogue nations if it were leaked to him, but he is NOT the one stealing the info! WE are the fools/idiots who did not protect our intel. Moreover, this leak happened on Obama’s watch and was carried out by one or more left-wing gay radicals.

      People who believe Assange is guilty of espionage usually fail to acknowledge that if we follow their line of reasoning, then the New York Times is equally guilty and MUST be accused of treason. I don’t recall his name, but a former AG admitted that given the NYT’s involvement in the dissemination of the leaks, charges could be brought against them, the caviat being that doing so was at the discretion of the govt. You and I know that nobody will go after OUR own traitors in the media. Do you agree with the selective accusation of (allegedly) guilty parties?

      Kryptonite, I am more interested in the motives behind the leaks, not so much in the leaks themselves. I simply want to know who REALLY benefits from this and who Assange was working with/for

      However to answer your question .. there’s a fine line here between Wikileaks and the NY Times IMO. I think WikiLeaks/Assange did this to undermine our interests. I think the NY Times did what THEY did for simple profit and a scoop. What they did was WRONG .. and could still be considered treasonous .. however I don’t think they were intentionally trying to damage our interests. Furthermore, I think those liberal idiots, if they were NOT doing it (only) for profit/scoop, they did it because they actually thought leaking this intel was going to be BENEFICIAL to America in the end. While Assange did it for malicious purposes.

      Of course I have no solid proof; only circumstantial evidence. I doubt I’m far from the truth, though. So, with that said .. I don’t think the NY Times was trying to commit an act of TREASON. I just think they’re a bunch of greedy, impulsive fools. Whether they SHOULD be charged .. well .. I’ll leave that up to the experts and history to decide.

      JSH, As you know, treason is an act. If you judge by motive, it becomes speculative and justice will probably not be served.

      You say the NYT was just being greedy. If that is the case, their mercenary actions are just as reprehensible and treasonous. As to the leaks being beneficial, the NYT is fiercely anti-war, but so is Assange. One could argue that both parties believe ending the war in Afghanistan is beneficial to America and the rest of the world. Aren’t you giving only one party the benefit of the doubt?

      If you are looking for motives, I think you should focus on Manning. Manning is gay and, PC aside, it says a lot about the motive behind the leaks. Gay activists were furious with Obama. Why do you think the Traitor-in-Chief wanted DADT rammed through in the lame duck session? At his presser yesterday, he also stated his views on gay marriage are “evolving,” meaning it is next on the docket.

      Kryptonite, that’s definitely a plausible scenario. I wasn’t trying to say the NYT should not BE charged with something. I was simply stating that I don’t think their motives were to undermine our interests in the same way that I believe Assange was. Like I said, I‘m no expert on the matter nor do I have all the facts that I’d need to make a sound, reasonable judgement on the matter. That‘s why I say I’ll leave it for history to decide. Then again .. with the far left writing the history books, we’ll probably never have a really clear picture of what happened.

      With all that said, I think there is more to this than just the gay agenda. Obama and many others in power have a globalist type agenda. It’s my belief this had something to do with this leak of intelligence. This is a slow process of whittling away at our image, our finances, our values, etc. Eventually, we will be only a shadow of our former selves.

      It’s like an ice sculpture. Fine but precise cuts are made .. and it takes time .. but when it’s done you have a very specific and carefully sculpted finished product. Once the far left is finished with us we’ll be a perfect carving of Karl Marx. The only consolation I take in typing that out is the fact that the ice will melt very quickly.

      @Wash1776
      I gave you an example. It might appear insignificant to you, but it was big news in England and was crushing news to all the Lockerbie victims around the world. There are others, such as the unanimous call from ME Arab countries to attack/invade Iran. That is huge in ME politics, but I guess the import of those revelations escaped you as well. Wikileaks also exposed the Saudis as major money donor to al-Qaeda. The lies the Yemeni dictator told his people regarding military aid provided by Obama to strengthen that oppressive Marxist regime were also exposed.

      Regardless of your narrow interpretation of the leaks, my point to you — which you failed to address — was that the leaks came from an American intel database, so they relate primarily to our country.

      We have no proof that Assange is involved in intelligence gathering. That is the reason why the Obama admin is having trouble accusing Assange of espionage (although I don’t doubt the Tyrant can stretch the original meaning of any law to fit his ends). Thus it makes no sense to expect Wikileaks to expose other govts for now.

      except that Sen. mccarthy was right all along.

      Alger Hiss, for example was proved to have been guilty and today, the overwhelming consensus is that Hiss was guilty – of spying for the former Soviet Union. Even the most left of left journalists have stated that he was guilty – how could they not when the evidence relased after the classified Venona intercepts were made public.

      Read Blacklisted by History to understand just how misguided it is to refer to Sen. McCarthy according to the narrative manufactured by the Communists that are still trying to destroy America and the very idea of individual liberty. Senator Joseph McCarthy was and remains a hero – he suffered at the hands of so many – even coward Rhinos in his own party, who just as they did over Gitmo when it was popular to do so, turned tail and bent over to get elected… or so they thought… when the American people rose up against the cowards on Nov 2nd, 2010.

      I am sorry to have to disagree with most Blazers on this, but I thought Assange leveled thoughtful and factual criticisms against the Obama government: persecution of a media outlet that exposed the Obama adminstration’s corruption and lies; the harsh and potentially unlawful treatment of Manning, to break him and get him to testify against Assange, whom they have labeled a spy; the need for journalists to band together and oppose Obama’s attempt to violate freedom of the press/free speech.

      Obviously, I disagree with Assange’s view of Palin as one of those politicians “trying to make a name for themselves.” To be fair, it was Uygur who put out the bait, and I don’t expect a leftie to respond in defense of Republicans. I’d sure like to know who on Fox News said he should be captured “illegally.” If that is true, it was wrong. I also think that Huckabee, who frequently cozies up to the left — should have kept his mouth shut.

      Frankly, patriots, I am disgusted with the Republican show of support for the Marxist Traitor in the WH and his collaborators in Congress. Why did Republicans speak against Assange? He is a leftie exposing Obama, so why does it concern them? It is not true that anybody got killed because of Wikileaks. That is an Obama lie. Republican politicians should steer clear of left-wing in-fighting.

      Take Assange’s stance on the war. In principle, I supported the war in the Af-Pak region. However, I vehemently reject the Marxist Muslim’s motivation for being there, i.e., using our troops as cannon fodder to keep the enemy at bay, while at the same time making sure those “right-wing terrorists” are away from home and not a (perceived) threat to his takeover agenda. Obama does not intend to win that war. In fact, the conditions in the region have gotten much worse since he took office. Casualties are consistently on the rise, and the Obama administration won’t even report them separately from NATO statistics. So, under those circumstances, I am with Assange, although I wonder what this Traitor plans to do about the nukes in Pakistan.

      I have come to the realization that Republicans are incredibly corrupt too. Beck’s criticism of the right wing of Congress used to bother me, because I thought he was exaggerating. Not anymore. The Traitor and his gang were able to pass all the tyrannical and anti-American legislation that was pending and many Republicans either joined them or failed to stand strong against them. The radically-controlled Congress managed to turned the midterm shellacking into a victory over We the People. I am devastated, and I see little hope for a return to our constitutional Republic. Please pray.

      A blessed Christmas to all.

      A movie producer who showed British cruelty in a film about the Revolutionary War (since the British were our allies in World War I) got a ten-year sentence under the Espionage act in 1917, and the film was seized; poet E.E. Cummings spent three and a half months in a military detention camp under the Espionage Act for the ‘crime’ of saying that he did not hate Germans.

      Esteemed Judge Learned Hand wrote that the wording of the Espionage Act was so vague that it would threaten the American tradition of freedom itself. Many were held in prison for weeks in brutal conditions without due process; some, in Connecticut — Joe Lieberman’s home state — were severely beaten while they were held in prison. The arrests and beatings were widely publicized and had a profound effect, terrorizing those who would otherwise speak out.
