[00:00] oh i don't think that julian assange revealed any sources and methods i think that julian's crime was embarrassing uh the powers that be in washington you know one of the red herrings that the federal government uses in every one of these cases is they say that sources and methods were revealed and that the lives of either american diplomats or our war fighters serving overseas were placed in danger they did say that with julian but
[00:31] could never offer any proof just like they couldn't offer proof with ed snowden or with chelsea manning so i don't believe that there was any damage to the national security uh i don't think that we should take seriously american accusations that there was damage to the national security julian assange has shown that a german citizen was kidnapped by cia a cia snatch team and tortured and
[01:02] sodomized in a cia black site in a case of mistaken identity and then was just let go if it weren't for julian assange and wikileaks we wouldn't even know about this case this is the there are so many cases like it you also have cablegate where we saw the state department engaging in illegal activity in sovereign countries to topple their government training opposition figures uh that we saw through the stratfor cables exposed on
[01:32] wikileaks training opposition figures like juan guido and his mentor leopoldo lopez to overthrow the venezuelan government plotting to uh sabotage dams inside venezuela to help overthrow hugo chavez the list goes on and on and on these are details few journalists even know and that's why i think they're after assange and are seeking to kill him in slow motion by prolonging his imprisonment for as long as possible
