Assange leidet an schwerer Lungenkrankheit – Equadorianische Botschaft trägt Kosten für medizinische Versorgung [UPDATED.]
Laut Medienberichten u.a. von AFP, N24 und SPIEGEL leidet Julian Assange an einer ernsthaften chronischen Lungenentzündung. In einem gestrigen Interview mit dem Sender CNN wollte Assange dazu keine Angaben machen. Nach Angaben der equadorianischen Botschafterin Ana Alban übernimmt die equadorianische Botschaft die Kosten für Assanges medizinische Versorgung. Kristin Hrafnsson, der derzeit die Funktion des Pressesprechers der journalistischen Plattform Wikileaks innehat, kommentierte den Gesundheitszustand Assanges nicht.

sowie zu den angeschossenen Themenkomplexen wie folgt:
1) unser Feuilleton kann aktuell noch nicht mitteilen, wann wir unsere Buchbesprechung von “Cypherpunks” soweit haben, denn bisher reißt sich der Verlag OR Books offenbar nicht unbedingt um Käufer – das scheint also Zeit zu haben —- update… WAIT… – and update: err… WAIT…
2) Zum Thema Wikileaks/Banking-Blockade gibt es seit Mitte Dezember Neues zu berichten (Freedom of the Press Foundation)
und es gibt noch ein weiteres Update, und zwar zu
3) Bradley Manning:
am 2.12.2012 haben Unterstützer von Bradley Manning eine “Infozelle” am Brandenburger Tor errichtet.
Hier ein kleiner Eindruck davon:
Das Unterstützernetzwerk von Bradley Manning hat am Sonntag, dem 2. Dezember 2012, eine Info-Kunstinstallation am Brandenburger Tor in Berlin aufgebaut. Das Werk trägt den Namen Infozelle. Per Klick auf das Bild gelangen Sie zu weiteren Ansichten dieser Open-Air-Ausstellung.

democracy now: “In his most extended interview in months, Julian Assange speaks to Democracy Now! from inside the Ecuadorean embassy in London, where he has been holed up for nearly six months. Assange vowed WikiLeaks would persevere despite attacks against it. On Tuesday, the European Commission announced that the credit card company Visa did not break the European Union’s antitrust rules by blocking donations to WikiLeaks. “Since the blockade was erected in December 2010, WikiLeaks has lost 95 percent of the donations that were attempted to be transferred to us over that period. … Our rightful and natural growth, our ability to publish as much as we would like, our ability to defend ourselves and our sources, has been diminished by that blockade.”

Assange-Buch “Cypherpunks”
Aluhüte unter sich
Von Ole Reißmann
Das Internet macht uns alle zu Opfern der Geheimdienste, behauptet das Buch “Cypherpunks”. Julian Assange, Jacob Appelbaum, Jérémie Zimmermann und Andy Müller-Maguhn wollen damit aufrütteln: Nur Verschlüsselung kann unsere Freiheit retten, raunen sie. Hoffnung haben sie aber kaum noch.

Moment… jetzt gibt’s gerade etwas Verwirrung, weil jemand, der sich auf Twiter als einer der Co-Autoren ausgibt, gerade einen Bittorrent-Downloadlink getwittert hat, der von einigen hilfsbereiten Unterstützeraccounts kräftig weitergetwittert wird…
Wir versuchen, den Vorfall zu klären. Entweder ist das abgesprochen gewesen und die Co-Autoren haben gemeinsam mit dem Verlag entschieden, dass durch die Hilfe der Medien der Andrang auf das Buch groß genug gewesen ist, um bereits am heutigen Tag das Buch freizugeben oder… oder es ist eben doch ein Twitter-Unfall.
Update bald dazu [hoffen wir jedenfalls].
Um 16 Uhr mitteleuropäischer Zeit [sieben Stunden nach dem ersten Account, dem von J. Zimmermann], tweetet auch ein zweiter Co-Autor, J. Appelbaum, den Link (er liegt in den Tiefen von thepiratebay) und vermerkt den Hinweis mit dem Spruch, er sei erfreut zu sehen, dass “das Internet ihr Buch befreit habe”.
(Den dritten Co-Autor-Account, den von A. Maguhn, an den der erste Tweet ebenfalls gegangen war, kann man getrost raushalten, das sind 93 unter Verschluss gehaltene Pipsis, wenn die untereinander Links austauschen, kann’s dem Rest wurscht sein.)
… um 23h mitteleuropäischer Zeit ist der Bittorrent-Tweet weder vom Wikileaks-Account (an die anderthalb Mio Account-Abonnenten), noch vom Account des Verlages offiziel getweetet oder re-tweetet worden. Sagen wir, bis auf weiteres handelt es sich um eine partielle, in eigenem Entschluss erfolgte Freigabe zweier Anarcho-Co-Autoren, die sich den Spaß aktuell offenbar leisten können.

“… The Australian government has repeatedly denied knowledge of any US intention to charge Assange or seek his extradition. But Australian diplomatic cables released to Fairfax Media under freedom-of-information laws over the past 18 months confirmed the continuation of an ”unprecedented” US Justice Department espionage investigation targeting Assange and WikiLeaks.
Further cables released under FOI this week show Australian diplomats urgently contacted the Pentagon following Fairfax Media reports in September that WikiLeaks and its supporters had been labelled as ”the enemy” in a US counter-espionage investigation.” – The Age, Dec 4th, 2012 – “Assange will go to Sweden: diplomats”, by Philip Dorling

Dec 5th – From a recent interview with KH: (link below the quote)
“… Can you tell our listeners a little bit about the ruling by the European Parliament?
Hrafnsson: Yes, I just returned from Brussels and actually we had the two very contradicting messages from Brussels in recent weeks. One was of course the extremely positive resolution that was voted on by the European Parliament on November 19th in a report on the online payments where the European Parliament gave a clear message, in a report that was voted into a resolution and sent to the European Commission, that they want it to be put into law that the payment facilitators, like Visa and MasterCard, would not in an abusive manner impose a blockade on entities or organizations, or companies without any due process. So, this was a very positive sign and I think it is a result of our fight in Brussels on other venues to bring awareness to the extreme problem of giving these American-based companies this tremendous power.
But at the same time we had another negative signal which came from the Commission. It was the result of our complaint through our partner in Iceland to the Commission where we claimed that the American-based companies Visa, MasterCard and American Express had contravened the antitrust legislation of the European community by imposing the economic blockade on Iceland. After 15 months of deliberation they found that in their preliminary assessment they would not open up a full investigation into all this. And on Monday, last week, we handed in our argument trying to convince the Commission to change its mind because of the tremendous importance of the case and showing how the Commission has, in our mind, erred in their decision.
So, it is not a final one. In about 4-5 weeks the Commission will take their final position and of course we can appeal that further on but I hope that the Commission will see the light and actually open up this investigation because as everybody can see this is a very important question about economic sovereignty of all the Europeans against the all-powerful American financial institutions….”

re Missing Times… – “… But Sullivan quoted a new New Republic piece and a Times reader both bashing the paper. Sullivan concluded: “One doesn’t have to agree with either of those viewpoints or interpretations of events to see the news value of the Manning testimony at Fort Meade. The testimony is dramatic and the overarching issues are important. The Times should be there.”
As if in response to this scolding and plea (and from many other sources), the Times finally sent someone to cover the Manning hearing—for a few hours, and a week late. Scott Shane produced a story for the Saturday paper, along with Charlie Savage back in the office. Kevin Gosztola, a former Nation reporter and co-author of my book on the Manning case, applauded the move but found the story wanting, and dissects it here. …” – Greg Mitchell in The Nation, Dec 12th, 2012

Was die Bankblokade und die finanziellen Schwierigkeiten von WL anbetrifft, gibt es jetzt Aussichten auf eine Besserung, durch die Gründung der “Freedom of Press Foundation” – hier ein Beitrag in der New York Times zur Gründung (16. Dez 2012).

(“… Derzeit gibt es noch keine Stellungnahmen der Kreditkartenfirmen oder von Google Checkout bzw. von Paypal. In der Vergangenheit hat es ähnliche Versuche gegeben, Spenden an Wikileaks über ein Payment-Gateway weiterzuleiten. Sie wurden von den Kreditkartenunternehmen ausgehebelt, indem die Finanzdienstleister informell angewiesen wurden, solche Zahlungen nicht zu akzeptieren. Eine solche Blockade erfuhr die isländisch-schweizerische Firma Datacell mit ihrem Zahlungs-Gateway für Wikileaks. Sie gewann im Sommer 2012 in erster Instanz die Klage gegen den beauftragten Finanzdienstleister, doch dieser ging unverzüglich in Berufung.”)
