LONDON — Speaking from Ecuador’s embassy in London, Julian Assange
revealed that the United States planned to overthrow the Syrian
government as far back as 2006, several years before the start of the
current crisis.
The founder of WikiLeaks took refuge in the
Embassy of Ecuador in 2012. The premises remain under siege 24 hours a
day by a large team of police to prevent Assange from ever stepping foot
outside, at a cost to taxpayers that now exceeds £12 million.
The ongoing threat
to his freedom hasn’t kept Assange from continuing his work revealing
the dirty secrets of world governments. His latest revelations come in a
Wednesday interview with RT in support of his new book, “The WikiLeaks
Files,” published late last month.
