9/11: DEMAND FOR WIKILEAKS RETRACTION & APOLOGY

NOVANEWS

Demand that Julian Assange of Wikileaks Offer a Retraction and Apology

By Paul Sheridan for Veterans Today (revised)

“I’m constantly annoyed that people are distracted by false conspiracies like 9/11…”  

Julian Assange,  July 19, 2010

For perspective we need to review at least two quotes made by the founder of Wikileaks, Julian Assange.  In the December 8, 2010 edition of The Australian, in a front-page article entitled, Don’t Shoot the Messenger for Revealing Uncomfortable Truths, Assange opens with an exact quote from 1958 originally made by The Australian’s owner:

“In the race between secrecy and truth, it seems inevitable that truth will always win.”

How was it arranged that the avowed Zionist Rupert Murdoch would offer Assange safe haven? What led to this cozy relationship between Assange and Murdoch, a well-established and notorious propagandist? In an exclusive interview of December 27, 2010, The Sunday Times of London, another Murdoch rag, announced that Assange agreed to a $1.5 million autobiography deal.  Presumably Murdoch’s promotion of the new book will also occur.

But the second, seemingly foundational quote from Assange occurred earlier this year. In the July 19th edition of the Belfast Telegraph in an article entitled, Wanted by the CIA: Julian Assange – Wikileaks founder, the reader finds the following notorious exchange with Assange:

“His obsession with secrecy, both in others and maintaining his own, lends him the air of a conspiracy theorist. Is he one? ‘I believe in facts about conspiracies,’ he says, choosing his words slowly. ‘Any time people with power plan in secret, they are conducting a conspiracy. So there are conspiracies everywhere. There are also crazed conspiracy theories. It’s important not to confuse these two. Generally, when there’s enough facts about a conspiracy we simply call this news.’ What about 9/11? ‘I’m constantly annoyed that people are distracted by false conspiracies such as 9/11, when all around we provide evidence of real conspiracies, for war or mass financial fraud.’ What about the Bilderberg conference? ‘That is vaguely conspiratorial, in a networking sense. We have published their meeting notes.’”

I am concerned that there is nothing vague about the true purpose of the Assange quote which relates to the criminal conspiracy that resulted in September 11, 2001.  The only way my concern will be assuaged is by a full public retraction of the Assange vitriol that 9/11 was a “false conspiracy.”  But before I formally make that demand, let us review a few items related to Wikileaks:

(1) There are no credible references/sources that prove that “9/11 nutters” have been haranguing Assange. None.  This remains an unsubstantiated claim.  This applies to all the diversionary nonsense about “people” (whoever they are, and never identified) allegedly demanding that Assange indulge his “talents” as a 9/11 researcher, a journalist, a member of the 9/11 Truth Movement, and on and on.

However, even if one assumes that Assange has been harassed, does it not seem at least a bit suspicious that this unsubstantiated/unreferenced assumption applies ONLY to 9/11 and “9/11 nutters”?  Those are the only conspiracy people that have harassed him?  This is so utterly absurd on its face that only Rupert Murdoch sycophants would believe it.

And even if we assume this ‘9/11 only’ absurdity, then the obvious question is: So what?! If Assange is merely a conduit, as so many supporters have clamored, then implicitly he has no expertise in anything, never mind a subject as complex as 911.  Therefore the “false conspiracy” slander he made in July 2010 has no basis whatsoever and, if nothing else, reflects directly on his intelligence and integrity.  Those avoiding that latter fact should be shunned.  Again, focus is needed on the Assange quote portion, “I’m constantly annoyed that people are distracted by false conspiracies like 9/11…”

(2) Assuming that lots of assorted nut cases have harassed Assange regarding lots of different subjects, then the question is no longer merely “So what?”.  It now becomes, “Why is it we have not heard him besmirch those other assorted nut cases as well, and doing-so as vehemently as he did when singling-out 911?  If someone can provide a reliable answer to that question, I would happy to receive it.

(3) Therefore, in all cases and at all levels, the Assange 9/11 “false conspiracy” statement must be openly condemned.  Assange and his supporters cannot demand that we take him seriously, while allowing such a stupid statement to remain unchallenged. Alternatively, I am confident that Larry Silverstein, Phillip Zelikow, Binyamin Netanyahu, Susan Ginsburg, Michael Chertoff, Michael Sherman, Joe Lieberman, Dick Cheney, the 911 Commission, Popular Mechanics, major American universities, et al. loved and perhaps orchestrated this Assange outburst!

(4) Maybe a blatantly obvious context is needed to assist Assange’s alleged integrity.  Is he willing to make his “false conspiracy” statement in the presence-of and to the faces of:

1. 9/11 victim families whose relatives and friends were told by EPA Administrator Christine Todd Whitman that “the air is safe to breath”?

2. The family members recently featured in the “Building what?” televisions ads?

3. Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth?

4. Pilots for 9/11 Truth?

5. Firefighters for 9/11 Truth?

6. The friends and family members of former FBI Agent John O’Neill?

7. What remains of the nation of Iraq?

8. What remains of the nation of Afghanistan?

9. What remains of Palestine and Gaza?

10. Etc.?

(5) Let us examine the converse: I know of no person (of integrity), that has studied and become qualified to discuss 9/11, that has reviewed the other Assange “conspiracies for war or mass financial fraud” and later singled out those individual conspiracies as false.

(6) I hereby openly challenge anyone to prove me incorrect on the following: Given his current associations and circumstances, Assange cannot and will never retract his 9/11 “false conspiracies” slander.  This reality will prevail despite the recent Rupert Murdoch Fox News reports about 9/11.

Recently Anthony Lawson uploaded a YouTube video entitled, Sex, Lies, Iran, Israel and WikiLeaks, wherein he proposes that if a Julian Assange did not emerge “the CIA would have invented him.”  I am certainly not the only person that is prudently suspicious of Assange.

I hereby openly challenge Julian Assange to publicly retract and apologize for his 9/11 “false conspiracy” statement.

Paul V. Sheridan

Several comments point out that Julian Assange is not from Sweden, as my first edition had incorrectly stated, but from Australia.  The corrected version is posted above. The author apologizes for the mistake.
