9/11: DEMAND FOR WIKILEAKS RETRACTION AND APOLOGY
Demand that Julian Assange of Wikileaks Offer a Retraction and Apology
By Paul Sheridan for Veterans Today (revised)
“I’m constantly annoyed that people are distracted by false conspiracies like 9/11…”
Julian Assange, July 19, 2010
For perspective we need to review at least two quotes made by the founder of Wikileaks, Julian Assange. In the December 8, 2010 edition of The Australian, in a front-page article entitled, Don’t Shoot the Messenger for Revealing Uncomfortable Truths, Assange opens with an exact quote from 1958 originally made by The Australian’s owner:
“In the race between secrecy and truth, it seems inevitable that truth will always win.”
How was it arranged that the avowed Zionist Rupert Murdoch would offer Assange safe haven? What led to this cozy relationship between Assange and Murdoch, a well-established and notorious propagandist? In an exclusive interview of December 27, 2010, The Sunday Times of London, another Murdoch rag, announced that Assange agreed to a $1.5 million autobiography deal. Presumably Murdoch’s promotion of the new book will also occur.
But the second, seemingly foundational quote from Assange occurred earlier this year. In the July 19th edition of the Belfast Telegraph in an article entitled, Wanted by the CIA: Julian Assange – Wikileaks founder, the reader finds the following notorious exchange with Assange:
“His obsession with secrecy, both in others and maintaining his own, lends him the air of a conspiracy theorist. Is he one? ‘I believe in facts about conspiracies,’ he says, choosing his words slowly. ‘Any time people with power plan in secret, they are conducting a conspiracy. So there are conspiracies everywhere. There are also crazed conspiracy theories. It’s important not to confuse these two. Generally, when there’s enough facts about a conspiracy we simply call this news.’ What about 9/11? ‘I’m constantly annoyed that people are distracted by false conspiracies such as 9/11, when all around we provide evidence of real conspiracies, for war or mass financial fraud.’ What about the Bilderberg conference? ‘That is vaguely conspiratorial, in a networking sense. We have published their meeting notes.’”
I am concerned that there is nothing vague about the true purpose of the Assange quote which relates to the criminal conspiracy that resulted in September 11, 2001. The only way my concern will be assuaged is by a full public retraction of the Assange vitriol that 9/11 was a “false conspiracy.” But before I formally make that demand, let us review a few items related to Wikileaks:
(1) There are no credible references/sources that prove that “9/11 nutters” have been haranguing Assange. None. This remains an unsubstantiated claim. This applies to all the diversionary nonsense about “people” (whoever they are, and never identified) allegedly demanding that Assange indulge his “talents” as a 9/11 researcher, a journalist, a member of the 9/11 Truth Movement, and on and on.
However, even if one assumes that Assange has been harassed, does it not seem at least a bit suspicious that this unsubstantiated/unreferenced assumption applies ONLY to 9/11 and “9/11 nutters”? Those are the only conspiracy people that have harassed him? This is so utterly absurd on its face that only Rupert Murdoch sycophants would believe it.
And even if we assume this ‘9/11 only’ absurdity, then the obvious question is: So what?! If Assange is merely a conduit, as so many supporters have clamored, then implicitly he has no expertise in anything, never mind a subject as complex as 911. Therefore the “false conspiracy” slander he made in July 2010 has no basis whatsoever and, if nothing else, reflects directly on his intelligence and integrity. Those avoiding that latter fact should be shunned. Again, focus is needed on the Assange quote portion, “I’m constantly annoyed that people are distracted by false conspiracies like 9/11…”
(2) Assuming that lots of assorted nut cases have harassed Assange regarding lots of different subjects, then the question is no longer merely “So what?”. It now becomes, “Why is it we have not heard him besmirch those other assorted nut cases as well, and doing-so as vehemently as he did when singling-out 911? If someone can provide a reliable answer to that question, I would be happy to receive it.
(3) Therefore, in all cases and at all levels, the Assange 9/11 “false conspiracy” statement must be openly condemned. Assange and his supporters cannot demand that we take him seriously, while allowing such a stupid statement to remain unchallenged. Alternatively, I am confident that Larry Silverstein, Phillip Zelikow, Binyamin Netanyahu, Susan Ginsburg, Michael Chertoff, Michael Sherman, Joe Lieberman, Dick Cheney, the 911 Commission, Popular Mechanics, major American universities, et al. loved and perhaps orchestrated this Assange outburst!
(4) Maybe a blatantly obvious context is needed to assist Assange’s alleged integrity. Is he willing to make his “false conspiracy” statement in the presence-of and to the faces of:
- 9/11 victim families whose relatives and friends were told by EPA Administrator Christine Todd Whitman that “the air is safe to breath”?
- The family members recently featured in the “Building what?” televisions ads?
- Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth?
- Pilots for 9/11 Truth?
- Firefighters for 9/11 Truth?
- The friends and family members of former FBI Agent John O’Neill?
- What remains of the nation of Iraq?
- What remains of the nation of Afghanistan?
- What remains of Palestine and Gaza?
- Etc.?
(5) Let us examine the converse: I know of no person (of integrity), that has studied and become qualified to discuss 9/11, that has reviewed the other Assange “conspiracies for war or mass financial fraud” and later singled out those individual conspiracies as false.
(6) I hereby openly challenge anyone to prove me incorrect on the following: Given his current associations and circumstances, Assange cannot and will never retract his 9/11 “false conspiracies” slander. This reality will prevail despite the recent Rupert Murdoch Fox News reports about 9/11.
Recently Anthony Lawson uploaded a YouTube video entitled, Sex, Lies, Iran, Israel and WikiLeaks, wherein he proposes that if a Julian Assange did not emerge “the CIA and Mossad would have invented him.” I am certainly not the only person that is prudently suspicious of Assange.
I hereby openly challenge Julian Assange to publicly retract and apologize for his 9/11 “false conspiracy” statement.

Several comments point out that Julian Assange is not from Sweden, as my first edition had incorrectly stated, but from Australia. The corrected version is posted above. The author apologizes for the mistake.

Well done Paul, and well done Gordon!
(No … you’re not the only ones highly suspicious of Assange & Co)
i dont like how you bring up palestine and mention gaza separately. the catastrophe (nakba) in palestine happen 60 years ago and is still going on, not after 911. zionist actions are not a reply to terror attacks, if anything it is the other way around.
any positive mention of Palestine/Gaza is a good thing..
“How was it arranged that the avowed Zionist Rupert Mudoch [sic] would offer this Swede safe haven?”
David Icke sounds sane until he calls Dubya a lizard from planet X. Similarly but on a different scale, calling Assange a “Swede” when everybody and his mother knows he’s an Aussie suggests the rest of the drivel here is either pulp or propaganda.
As an avowed and admitted “9/11 Truther”, allow me to register my deepest disappointment with the author of this article AND the publisher of same…
Bruce Arnold
Glad someone brought up his national origin. By not knowing Assange is Australian, it kind of ruined any information in the article for me.
Assange could well be of Swedish origin.. Australians are all, apart from the indigenous aboriginees, immigrants, as are all US citizens, apart from the indigenous red indians..
Quite right. In any event, the minor question of Mr. Assange’ s nationality is completely immaterial to the main point of Mr. Sheridan’s article.
One’s entire credibility does not rest on a minor point, but on major ones.
Agreed.
Besides this guy sheridan showed some real class, unlike the several of the dimwits that have commented. He acknowledged the mistake, corrected it, and apologized for it. Dont expect any of these parasites to be capable of this basic level of integrity. Heck, they dont even know what I just said.
It’s important to Assange’s origin, it would have provided the link between Assange and Murdoch, as well as a motive for Assange’s actions. The reference is important, but first you need to look up the Murdoch family to know the connection with reporting on War.
There is one Australian who really makes me cringe, the obnoxious Zionist mouthpiece, slavering, wolflike, Israel apologist Regev
Perhaps you are right. In any event, from my perspective, it is the purpose of this gambit, and its timing, which are the intriguing questions, not the disinfo itself, or its source.
Let’s get this straight…youre a “911 Truther” (yeah…right) and youre offended by this article and the website…BUT…youre not at all concerned about the Assange quote that 911 is a “false conspiracy.”
Are you feeling alright??!!
Excellent article Paul. The importance of 911truth CANNOT be understated. When Americans understand what has happened to them on Sept 11, Israel, Zionism and the ZioYids running America will crumble just like the twin towers. ANYONE who doesn’t realize 911 was an inside/outside zioyid job is either a fool, or, in ASSange’s case, a NWO asset. With 911Truth we have the bastards by the balls! The zioyid elite know this and will do anything to distract the public away from it. This is why Assange’s distasteful and ridiculas comments on the 911truth movement deserve our full scorn. Well done Paul, your are 100% correct. Assange is a Mossad asset and he is being exposed as such. 911Truth now!
deception= hiding behind others, or pointing a finger at others, instead of having the courage and integrity to own up to crimes..
In response to your question ” How was it arranged that the avowed Zionist Rupert Murdoch would offer Assange safe haven? What led to this cozy relationship between Assange and Murdoch (…)?
The answer is: Assange and Murdoch are both Australians (Murdoch is Australian born and took out US citizenship so he could run his empire from the US). Assange refers to Murdoch’s father who released (leaked) information (reported to the Press) about the failed campaign at Gallipoli during WWII. He makes the point Australians have a habit of exposing war crimes.
Why is everyone attacking Assange? He works for wiki-leaks, that’s like attacking the manager at your local Wal-Mart because Mom & Pop are loosing thier customers.. I think it could be that one Journalist(and trust me, I am no fan of Murdoch or his idea of ‘news’) sees another being rail-roaded toward silence. That is a dangerous thing. It is also outside the United States realm of authority to try to silence foreign news, reporting or any other form of media, we are after all the country of ‘freedom of the press, and free speech’ are we not? Embarrassing? Yes, it is, was, and will continue to be, until we practice what we preach, and become the nation that most American think us to be?
Who is everyone?? Assange does NOT “work for wiki-leaks” [sic], he supposedly founded it.
And what kindergarten school did you go to? They forgot to teach you reading comprehension. Where does this article or ANY article say that this clown Assange is, as you claim out of the blue, a “Journalist” [sic]??
Where in this article does this guy sheridan demand that Assange be “silenced”?? The article is asking him to put-up or shut-up.
You are either a zionist troll or you just dont get any of this and never will. Hopefully your grand kids are smarter than you, Granny.
First let’s correct the misstatement by Assange that Rupert Murdoch wrote the words that appeared in an edition of the Adelaide News in 1958. He did not. They were written by an editor named Rohan Rivett, whom Murdoch later sacked for publishing material that angered the premier of South Australia, Tom Playford. I was there at the time. Secondly there is surely nobody alive today who was naive and stupid enough to accept the official story of 9/11, except, apparently, a much younger and less experienced individual as Julian Assange was then. In time, the truth will out. As it has for those interested enough to delve into the truth of the assassinations of John F Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr and Bobby Kennedy.
