hey everyone me Kevin here boy oh boy

0:01

0:03

one make sure to go to metcaven.com life

0:05

to sign up for this WOW a report was

0:08

just released that reveals the CIA and

0:10

the Trump administration had considered

0:12

assassinating Julian Assange while he

0:16

was at an embassy in London Julian

0:18

Assange is of course the Australian

0:20

journalist that founded Wikileaks in

0:22

2006 and he gained no notability in 2010

0:25

after Wikileaks published a series of

0:27

leaks provided by the intelligence

0:30

Analyst at Chelsea Manning just to give

0:32

you an example of some of the highly

0:34

classified documents that were released

0:37

and then we'll get into the plot this is

0:39

crazy in April to one uh 2010 Wikileaks

0:42

released a military video showing a U.S

0:44

Apache helicopter firing on and killing

0:46

two journalists and a number of Iraqi

0:48

citizens in 2007 the leak was in 2010

0:52

the video was from 2007 and some of the

0:55

voice over audio was not exactly too

0:58

compelling in favor of the US Military

0:59

military the pilots claimed that they

1:03

thought the journalists and civilians

1:04

were insurgents but the audio tape

1:07

definitely makes you a little bit

1:09

concerned this is something that you can

1:10

still look up on YouTube we're not going

1:12

to play here in July 2020 I'm sorry in

1:15

July 2010 only a couple of weeks after

1:18

Chelsea Manning was arrested more than

1:21

90 000 documents relating to the war in

1:23

Afghanistan were released one of those

1:26

documents included information regarding

1:28

the hunt for Osama Bin Laden and the

1:32

linkage between Osama Bin Laden and

1:34

civilian deaths resulting from U.S

1:37

military action so being able to

1:39

essentially link how the hunt for Osama

1:41

had been killing civilians Wikileaks

1:44

then also released over 250

1:47

000 communication cables between

1:49

diplomats the terrorist files of the

1:51

prisoners in Guantanamo obey were also

1:54

released the U.S manuals for soldiers

1:57

dealing with prisoners at Camp Delta in

1:59

guantan autonomo Bay were released

2:01

including torture rules or procedures

2:04

like waterboarding these are just some

2:07

of the many leaks that were released of

2:09

course Wiki claims claimed that these

2:11

leaks help educate the public and this

2:13

is along the lines of Julian assange's

2:15

Mission anyway he believes that sunlight

2:17

is the best disinfectant which is

2:19

essentially a way to say that the more

2:20

things are exposed the better Society

2:22

can actually operate in them with more

2:24

fairness and justice but regardless of

2:27

the intent these leaks are really really

2:30

embarrassing and so in 2010 shortly

2:32

after the classified documents were

2:36

issued Sweden issued an International

2:38

arrest warrant for Assange the warrant

2:41

was issued for sexual misconduct but

2:43

many believed it was just sort of a ruse

2:46

to get Assange to a country that would

2:49

end up participating in an extradition

2:51

of him to the United States like the US

2:54

wanted this guy right okay so now the

2:56

crazy part in 2017 after Trump became

2:59

became a president which it's worth

3:01

noting that Obama had not issued an

3:04

indictment for the extradition of Julian

3:06

Assange for for basically citing

3:08

particular evidence that would link him

3:11

directly to these cables although it

3:13

seems pretty obvious at this moment

3:14

bottom line is Obama did not make this a

3:17

policy priority but in 2017 Donald Trump

3:20

and the CIA discussed the possibility of

3:23

assassinating Julian Assange or this is

3:26

while Assange was still in the embassy

3:29

in London this would have been a huge

3:31

huge huge violation of international law

3:33

specifically the Vienna convention on

3:35

diplomatic relations from 1961 Vienna

3:38

convention laid out the rules of

3:40

diplomatic Encounters in the world and

3:42

let's just put it this way assassinating

3:43

someone in somebody else's embassies not

3:46

exactly the way to follow this

3:47

convention although something like that

3:49

did happen and turkey but that is a

3:52

topic for a totally different video

3:53

basically the Vienna convention lays out

3:56

encounters that says hey in short don't

3:58

kill people in other people's embassies

4:00

so anyway the embassy of Ecuador in the

4:03

United Kingdom is basically a country

4:05

it's the country of Ecuador in the

4:07

United Kingdom and British police can't

4:09

enter this we know this right so now if

4:12

the United States tried entering they

4:13

would really be creating a uh or

4:15

breaking the law of Ecuadorian

4:18

sovereignty and so this is really bad

4:19

but anyway the United States wanted to

4:21

assassinate uh Julian Assange presumably

4:24

uh for for the leaking of the documents

4:27

that really embarrassed the United

4:28

States and this was potentially a way

4:31

for Donald Trump and this is just an

4:33

assumption here uh to show that he was

4:36

now in charge and punishing those who

4:38

had embarrassed the United States now

4:40

that is just an assumption but it is

4:43

also no secret that the US government

4:45

doesn't like Julian Assange I mean

4:47

Pompeo for example the former Secretary

4:49

of State during the Trump Administration

4:50

declared Wikileaks a quote non-state

4:53

hostile intelligence service and this

4:56

declaration gave the CIA the ability to

4:59

Target WikiLeaks in the same way it

5:00

would Target foreign intelligence

5:01

governments senior officials inside the

5:04

CIA and the Trump admin went as far as

5:07

to request quote sketches or options for

5:11

potentially taking out Julian Assange

5:13

the assassination never did take place

5:16

instead in 2019 Sweden dropped its

5:19

sexual misconduct case against Assange

5:21

shortly thereafter his resolume was

5:23

evoked by Ecuadorian authorities he was

5:25

still arrested for violating bail and

5:27

sentenced to 50 weeks in prison and now

5:29

he's in a Maximum Security Prison in

5:31

London and he's been there since April

5:33

2019 but this story in my opinion is

5:36

really fascinating and if you found it

5:40

interesting at all that Donald Trump and

5:42

the CIA potentially plotted the

5:44

assassination of Julian Assange consider
