Teixeira, Assange, Snowden, same fight?  this, no!

21-year-old Jacques Teixeira, a retarded teenager, is accused of massive leaking of confidential documents. He just wanted to impress his friends with an online video game site. Foolishness and stupidity.

In the latest cases of leaking classified US documents, whistleblowers had motives of public interest that made their gestures meritorious.

And so, in 2013, Edward Snowden alerted the media that the United States’ cyber-espionage agency, the National Security Agency, was spying on the communications of American citizens, an activity he was never authorized to do and therefore illegal. The fact that Snowden made it public was a public service, not a crime. And besides, as expected, no one at the NSA has ever gone to jail for allowing these illegal wiretaps.

If Snowden fled to Russia, he would have no other choice. The United States had revoked his passport, barring him from asylum in Ecuador, whose government was already providing sanctuary to Julian Assange from WikiLeaks at its London embassy.

Assange, already ten years in detention

Australian and British elected officials across the political spectrum asked the United States Not to extradite Julian Assange from the uk. Assange, an Australian citizen, has taken refuge in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London for 7 years. He has been in prison since 2019 as he is fighting a US extradition request. There he will face charges of publishing hundreds of thousands of classified documents on the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq as well as diplomatic cables.

Assange obtained these documents from Private Bradley (now Chelsea) Manning. Barack Obama relaxed His sentence is 35 years in prison before leaving the White House.

I’ve said it before: I think Assange deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. What did the US diplomatic messages sent by Manning reveal to him? That the United States is a declining global empire ready for all manipulations and vile schemes to defend its interests, even at the expense of its allies.

Assange acted only as an intermediary between Manning and some of the largest media outlets in the West ( The New York Timesthe guardianthe worldAnd Der Spiegel And El Pais) who has published information deemed to be of public interest and of social interest.

As with the current Jack Teixeira leak, those who should go to jail for the WikiLeaks leak are the chief information security officers in the United States. Their neglect of a simple soldier serving at a forward outpost in Iraq allowed easy access to databanks containing classified US diplomatic and military contacts around the world.

Lace-up loafers who allow it will face a firing squad…or fall out a window, in countries like Russia and China.

In his statement at the start of his trial, Manning explained that he was disgusted to see how the United States government acted in private against his public statements.

State treachery from yesterday to tomorrow

In the seventies, it was The New York Times published Secret Pentagon Files Who lifted the veil on the treachery of successive US administrations regarding the Vietnam War.

De Gaulle said that the states are cold beasts. Deception, hypocrisy, bribery and embezzlement are common activities for most of them and those they lead. See Machiavelli.
