Wikileaks Linked to US Intelligence and Spying Networks

Julian Assange’s outright dismissal of the 9/11 cover-up as a ‘false conspiracy’ rang alarm bells with me. How could a purported ‘whistleblower’, claiming to be exposing the lies of corrupt governments shield the biggest lie of the 21st century from criticism? Anybody willing to do five minutes of research can uncover the trove of evidence suggesting a cover-up and lying at the highest levels of the US government with regards to 9/11. Especially a ‘computer hacker’ of world renown.

What kind of ‘whistleblower’ only leaks his scoops to corporate media outlets such as the Guardian, and New York Times, in the full knowledge that they are subject to editorial bias, censorship and omission? For a group ostensibly devoted to exposing the truth, Wikileaks’ strategy is puzzling.

What kind of ‘whistleblower’ goes to these corporate outlets for live Q&A sessions, complete with a photoshoot, while the world’s most tyrannical governments are supposedly hunting him down? The mere fact that Assange and Wikileaks are receiving such unprecedented promotion in the corporate media is something to be concerned about.

The fact that Wikileaks’ leaks have overwhelmingly supported and bolstered the US-Israeli anti-Iranian propaganda efforts is somewhat less surprising in light of these facts. Wikileaks bears all the hallmarks of a limited hangout operation.

Wikileaks, Google, and the CIA
A company known as In-Q-Tel is a CIA venture capital firm that has the aim of maintaining the CIA’s intelligence capabilities. See: http://www.iqt.org/about-iqt/history.html

In-Q-Tel sold 5,636 Google shares in 2005. The stocks were a result of Google’s acquisition of Keyhole, the CIA funded satellite mapping software that we now know as Google Earth.

Earlier this year it was reported that In-Q-Tel and Google Ventures are buying Recorded Future, a web analytics and spying outfit whose software “scours tens of thousands of Web sites, blogs and Twitter accounts to find the relationships between people, organizations, actions and incidents”. See: http://gcn.com/articles/2010/07/29/inqtel-google-fund-web-analysis-firm.aspx

See the Washington Post on Google’s partnership with NSA: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/02/03/AR2010020304057.html

So we’ve established that Google is in bed with the major US intelligence networks.

Now for the interesting part. A man named Ben Laurie is an Advisory Board member of Wikileaks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Laurie

He used to be a security boss at Google, and he is currently working for them in London.

See the references to his work at Google on his blog: http://www.links.org/

See his page on Google: http://www.google.com/research/pubs/author9639.html

So here we have a Wikileaks advisory board member working for a corporation that has partnered with the CIA to buy a firm specialising in software perfectly suited to spying, infiltration and COINTELPRO. Not to mention Google’s partnership with the NSA which is ostensibly in the name of cyber security after cyber attacks it says ‘originated in China’. The recently-leaked cables even suggested that China was behind the attacks (convenient huh?)

I don’t know about you but I think this is a bit too close for comfort.
