Julian Assange is to attend a parliamentary hearing in Strasbourg on Tuesday 1 October 2024 which will look at his detention and conviction and their chilling effect on human rights, ahead of a full plenary debate on this topic by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) the following day. Both events will be livestreamed.

You can watch at 8:30am CET (GMT+1) or in a little over 5 and a half hours from the time this post goes up. Available at the link below.

".. the Iraqi Ministry of Finance has had to submit requests for funds to the US Treasury, which then approves or denies these requests based on its own criteria.

This monthly transfer of US dollars – which are literally flown into Baghdad in pallets of hard cash – determines Iraq and its 40-million-population’s ability to pay for basic needs like salaries, food, and medicine.

Today, Iraq’s financial situation remains dire. Despite having oil revenues piling up in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York – estimated today at around $120 billion – Iraq is burdened with a growing debt that matches this amount.

The country’s inability to control its own funds has prevented long-term reconstruction and development, forcing it to rely on international loans. Ironically, Iraq has also become one of the largest holders of US Treasury bills, with investments totaling $41 billion in 2023."

Hello all,

I have a question that hopefully someone can answer.

When searching for an Iraq after action report, the search results show an uncensored snapshot of the report. However, once I open the report, many of the words that were visible in the search results are now replaced with %%%.

Is there any way to get around this and obtain the full text?

———EDIT———

Here's an example:

https://wikileaks.org/irq/report/2005/03/IRQ20050303n1465.html

If you search "SCAN EAGLE CRASH" this should be the first hit. This is the preview that comes up in the search result. The words in bold are words that appear as %%% once you open the report.

action 0 0 0 0 AT 1424C, SCAN EAGLE REPRESENTATIVES REPORTS AN EO SCAN EAGLE CRASHED N OF HIT ... . THE SUSPSECTED CAUSE OF THE CRASH IS AN AVIONICS FAILURE. THERE ... 1X M/C EO AND 2X M/C IR SCAN EAGLES REMAINING AT AL-ASAD ...

Of course, since this is a preview, there is a bunch of other content that is also censored and that does not appear here. As far as I can see, this happens with all such reports from Iraq.

"Poppy cultivation in Afghanistan dropped by 95% after a drug ban by the ruling Taliban last year. " [That is 2022]

The US left in August 2021. What a remarkable coincidence.

This might sound like a stupid question because I am out of the loop, but what exactly is the list of names in the Hilary Clinton files supposed to be?

I'm asking because I found someone's name on that list that is someone I have confirmed to have been involved in a massive cover-up, and I recently found out she used a fake identity, her family is military, and has govt. connections. Both the woman whose name I found and her husband used fake names and I found her real name on the list (and it's not a common name). I'm just trying to put the pieces together.

Edited to add this is referencing the list of 967 names. I don't know if there are different lists.

From now on please only make posts that you think Julian Assange would approve of.

To elaborate here, lets work together to make this subreddit a place where people can have civil, unbiased discussions about the type of documents Julian would have leaked, had he not been cruelly imprisoned and tortured for years until wikileaks was essentially forced out of business.

Feel free to post any info or articles about leaks, self post discussions about leaks, etc.

Also feel free to post about any of the past leaks from wikileaks, the politicians or governments, or political parties related to the leaks, etc. Current events are fine to post about.

Please DO NOT post or talk about which politicians/government/party you like or think anyone should support. In this sub we only post negative comments about politicians/government/party, so unless you have something bad to say, keep it to yourself!
