Imperialist gangsterism and the CIA plot to kill Julian Assange
Revelations that the CIA discussed the assassination of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange confirm the staggering criminality of the US and British ruling class. By rights, they should see the US extradition case against Assange still proceeding through the UK High Court thrown out, and the investigation and prosecution of the conspirators up to the highest level of the US and UK governments and their intelligence agencies.

Snowden and Assange Deserve Pardons. So Do the Whistleblowers Trump Imprisoned.
IN 2007, the Bush administration’s Justice Department sent me a letter saying it was conducting a criminal investigation into “the unauthorized disclosure of classified information” in my 2006 book, “State of War.” When my lawyers called the Justice Department about the letter, the prosecutors refused to say I was not a “subject” of their leak investigation. That was ominous. If I were considered a “subject,” rather than simply a witness, it meant the government hadn’t ruled out prosecuting me for publishing classified information.

You Know Who Else Is a Whistleblower? Chelsea Manning
With House Speaker Nancy Pelosi finally announcing an impeachment inquiry for Donald Trump, whistleblowers are currently the talk of the nation. While we all should be thanking the brave individual who disclosed that Trump was pressuring Ukranian officials to interfere in the upcoming 2020 election, we would be remiss if we didn’t discuss the treatment of Chelsea Manning, a trans woman who is still imprisoned for information she made public.

Edward Snowden in His Own Words: Why I Became a Whistle-Blower
At the age of 22, when I entered the American intelligence community, I didn't have any politics. Instead, like most young people, I had solid convictions that I refused to accept weren't truly mine but rather a contradictory cluster of inherited principles.
