Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange Reveals Real Intentions Behind The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)
by Jeffrey PhillipsWikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been seeking refuge for close to
three years inside Ecuador’s Embassy in London where he has political
asylum. Facing both investigations in Sweden and the US, he claims that
he is doing well despite his circumstances.
Assange is wanted in
Sweden for questioning on claims of sexual misconduct, however no
charges have been formally filed against him. In the US, a secret grand
jury is investigating him for his role in publishing a collection of
leaked documents regarding the Iraq and Afghanistan wars as well as
state department modes of communication known as cables.
And
despite Assange’s asylum, WikiLeaks continues to disclose documents from
leaked drafts of the British nuclear submarine whistleblower William
McNeilly, and hidden information about a European union plan that seeks
to use military force in order to curb the influx of migrants from
Libya. Of the latter, WikiLeaks said, “The documents lay out a military
operation against cross-Mediterranean refugee transport networks and
infrastructure. It details plans to conduct military operations to
destroy boats used for transporting migrants and refugees in Libyan
territory, thereby preventing them from reaching Europe.
WikiLeaks
has also published leaked chapters of the Trans-Pacific Partnership
(TPP), which is a secretive trade agreement among twelve Pacific Rim
countries, including the United States. It would allow them to cover 40
percent of the global economy. The agreement was reached just this past
October, after seven years of negotiations.
