A report claims the CIA raised the prospect of killing or capturing Julian Assange while he evaded charges hiding in Ecuador’s embassy in London | latikambourke

A report claims the CIA raised the prospect of killing or capturing Julian Assange while he evaded charges hiding in Ecuador’s embassy in London because they feared the Australian was plotting an escape of his own.relied on interviews with 30 former US officials and said eight of them detailed the plot to assassinate Assange.Former president Donald Trump declared the report “totally false” and said he never considered assassinating Assange.

One method involved a potential gunfight with Kremlin operatives in the streets of London, another was crashing a car into Assange’s getaway vehicle or shooting the tyres of his plane to prevent it from taking off.Advertisement The report argued that the pursuit of Assange was driven by former CIA director Mike Pompeo when he was installed as Donald Trump’s secretary of state.

latikambourke Interesting - Typically, we accuse Russia of such methods. Question: do we need now to demand sanctions against the USA or is that only appropriate against such nations, who don't export nuclear submarines?

latikambourke the little guy from down under has other things on his mind...........show business

latikambourke Assange is a criminal. You all think our adversaries are perfect. This goes on the world over so pick a side!!

latikambourke trump can now add attempted assassin to his resume.

latikambourke “Evaded charges” - he was never charged. This is rubbish

latikambourke Why are journalists so incapable of getting the basic facts of this case right. There were no charges, there were allegations.

latikambourke How many pills do you take every night to write such garbage?

latikambourke SMH, Australian media and Government should be ASHAMED of itself in the treatment of Assange. He does not suit your narrative and you have done nothing but demonize this Journalist for years. SHAMEFUL that 'Journalists' in this country are just Corporate mouthpieces. SHAME ON YOU

latikambourke Who cares?

latikambourke Yet, the loony tune Trump is still a free man. Go figure.

latikambourke Your headline is false. Please correct. There were no charges to be evaded at that time.

latikambourke There were no charges!!!! There were some fabricated accusations which went nowhere because they were FABRICATED!

latikambourke 'preliminary investigation' it says, even here please correct!

latikambourke Julian Assange must be freed, and the Sydney Morning Herald must fix it's headline. Assange was not 'evading charges hiding in Ecuador's embassy'—he was not charged with anything at the time, and had asylum from US govt threats to life and liberty. FreeAssangeNOW

ScepticalAussie latikambourke not surprised.

latikambourke 🙄

latikambourke He should be extradited back to Australia and freed.

latikambourke 🤣

Why vaccine mandates must be a last resortHow readily should we accept state coercion and compulsion as legitimate tools of public health administration?

Why vaccine mandates must be a last resortHow readily should we accept state coercion and compulsion as legitimate tools of public health administration? What do you mean: 'how readily should we accept....?' We have accepted exactly that for decades. And it has served us well (yes, us, it's not about me, me, me, me, me....) I scoured the article looking for a valid reason to object to a vaccine and came up empty handed. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Then I thought about why they were needed and the list was too long for a tweet. Given so many people are using stupid excuses not to get it, mandates will be the only way to get community immunity up to a useful level.
