A Journey In Support of WikiLeaks and Julian Assange
On Saturday 2 April 2016 WikiLeaks published the release: “IMF Internal Meeting Predicts Greek ‘Disaster’, Threatens to Leave Troika” https://wikileaks.org/imf-internal-20160319/
The story made Greek Newspapers Front pages, here is a compilation of some of them:

Here is an updated overview of the Facebook pages operated by Mark Goeder Tarant and his helpers. They have the appearance of genuine pages as far as logos and general appearance is concerned but they are not related to WikiLeaks neither are they supportive of WikiLeaks. In fact the only reason they exist is to promote the agenda of the owner of the fake wikileaks-forum dot com, smearing WikiLeaks and Julian Assange.
Let’s keep our eyes Open!

Do you support Julian Assange and WikiLeaks on social media? Don’t be surprised when this will be done to you:
We keep going 🙂
Update June 2016:
Further evidence emerge in court:
Original Post:
Anyone currently visiting the site http://www.support-julian-assange.com today:
would never have guessed that when it was launched by Mark Goeder Tarant in December 2010, when it convincingly presented itself as a genuine supportive site that attracted many volunteers to add to its content by posting in the blog roll or its forum.
After Mark Goeder Tarant dropped the mask of support in August 2012 and turned all his sites as channels of anti-WikiLeaks smears and harassment of WL supporters, the SJA site was starved of volunteers but remained online in its original format, till Sep 2015 when it was given a makeover.
Earlier that year in May 2015, and not for the first time, Mark boasted via his @Wikileaks_forum account:
A Search Engine Optimisation expert, the site’s owner could be proud of his achievement especially as in the very beginning of the launch the site was bomblinked possibly to affect Google Page Ranking as the following post eloquently illustrates:
And here is another resource providing the link between ‘Soul Assassin’ and Mark Goeder Tarant
For the slightly more tech savvy here is the excellent work by Cabledrummer proving exactly that point here:
So when we see:
We can recognise the deception and can name who is behind it. Let’s train our eyes to the #WLTrolls tactics who undermine our support work.
Mark Goeder Tarant might lie as much as he likes about not being involved in http://www.wikileaks-forum.com since 2013, but he inadvertently provides proof for the opposite:
Here he handles the Twitter account @wikileaks_forum to attack several supportive WikiLeaks accounts and provides a screenshot trying to construct some kind of slur on their reputation, instead, he actually reveals his own personal e-mail as he forgets to log out from Paypal.
And we know this is his e-mail address (part of a past address) because:
Twitter is full, full of proof, every few weeks, here we go again!
Original article published on OnAlert.gr here
May 23, 2013.
Seven years complete today from the day Costas Iliakis lost his life in the airspace between the [Greek islands] Karpathos and Crete. His F 16 collided with a Turkish aircraft trying to approach Crete and locate the positions of S 300 [Russian anti-aircraft missiles]. Many things have been written about the conditions under which the collision happened, and everything suggests that it was the result of the murderous actions of the Turkish operator.
What followed the death of Costas Iliakis and the search and rescue operation [for the Turkish pilot] that ensued, are described in detail in the Journal of the National Operations Centre.
The records of events revealed how the crisis caused by the air collision of the two fighter planes was handled ‘with fear’ as well as the expediency with which the Greek side wished to surrender the Turkish pilot to the Turkish search and rescue helicopter crew.
May 23, 2006.
Four Greek F-16, ordered to take off from the airport in Crete, with a mission to identify-stem, four Turkish fighter that were accompanying photographic aircraft of the Turkish Air Force. The Greek pilots were advised that in the specific maritime area, a Turkish frigate was also sailing.
The Turkish formation was designed to accompany the photographic RF-4, up till the coast of Crete. The persistence of Ankara to locate the positions in which the anti-missile systems S-300 had been stationed, was now well known to Greek operators.
Shortly before 12 noon, the Greek F-16, had approached the Turkish formation. Captain Costas Iliakis, approached the photographic aircraft under a mandate from the ATA in order to record its equipment.
Without any warning the Turkish Captain Ibrahim Halil, made a killing maneuver tumbling with his F-16, on the hood of Costas Iliakis’ aircraft who was killed instantly. The Turkish pilot was able to use the ejection seat and a few seconds later found himself in the sea.
From this moment onwards begins the handling of a crisis that could have lead to uncontrollable situations. Armed fighter aircraft from both countries took off and flew to the area between Crete-Karpathos. It smelled of gunpowder and a spark would be enough to cause an explosion.
In the basement of the MoD, at the National Operations Center is the then Α/ΓΕΕΘΑ Admiral Pangiotis Chinofotis. Soon was joined by the then Defence Minister Evangelos Meimarakis. Full preparedness has already been ordered but it is clear that subtle handling required.
The ‘On Alert’, publishes the journals of the National Operations Centre. They record, minute by minute what happened that tragic afternoon of 23 May 2006 in the area between Crete-Karpathos. How the Turkish pilot who killed C.Iliakis was spotted at sea, how he refused assistance from the Greek Super Puma helicopter, pulling even gun against our pilots and how we eventually decided to hand him over!
[photos of log book pages are displayed]
This page describes the first steps taken to ensure that the Greek military machine put on standby for every eventuality. The Super Puma helicopter, has been ordered to take off and Oil Tanker CENTURY has informed that it sails to the area where Turkish pilot Ibrahim Halil has been spotted.
The tanker picks the Turkish Pilot from the sea, who has been identified by our helicopter, but refuses its help.The [Greek] rescue team disembarks on the oil tanker and comes face to face with the Turkish operator. Despite the shock of leaving his aircaft in the manner that he did, Halil is tough. Evidently executing his superiors orders he stubbornly refused to get into the [Greek] helicopter. He knew he has caused the death of a Greek pilot and this can have serious consequences. When pressed by the Greeks, he pulled out his gun and carried out threats! The situation got out of hand and tense, not only aboard the tanker, but also on air. At that time in the air there are 120 fighter aircrafts both, Greek and Turkish, all armoured! A Turkish helicopter has already arrived to retrieve the Turkish pilot.
The time is 14.29. The command arrives from Operation Center is on one hand clear, on the other hand it raises questions:
” Command to deliver the Turkish pilot to the Turkish rescue crew so that it is clear that the hand over came from the Greek to the Turkish side. The hand over to be recorder by a camera.
The crux of the matter is that the Turks that day were trying to locate and photograph the positions of the [anti-aircraft missile] systems S-300. They succeeded by exerting military pressure on Greece to impose their positions. It was the first time a Turk who fell in the Aegean was surrendered in this way to his countrymen, just after he had killed a Greek operator.

********* 7th of November 2015

London SE1 2AA
On October 12th the Metropolitan Police removed the dedicated uniformed guards from outside the Ecuadorian Embassy declaring that it is strengthening its covert plan. The MPS also said it will not discuss what form its continuing operation will take or the resourcing implications surrounding it.
I hope this does not mean that London Assembly Members will be prevented from ask questions on the costs involved in the MPS operation that the London Tax Payer has to be burdened with. MPS states that despite the efforts of many people there is no imminent prospect of a diplomatic or legal resolution to this issue.
New evidence now come to light by Italian Newspaper L’Espresso via Freedom of Information Request directly with the Swedish Ministry of Justice regarding the questioning of Julian Assange. In their issue of October 19th journalist Stefania Maurizi discovers that
“In January 2011, not even two months after Julian Assange had been arrested in London, a lawyer at the Crown Prosecution Service, Mr. Paul Close, strongly advised the Swedish magistrates against questioning the WikiLeaks’ founder in London. According to Close, the appropriate strategy was to interview him «only on his surrender to Sweden and in accordance with Swedish law».
From the original documents released by Sweden that can be found here:
http://speciali.espresso.repubblica.it/pdf/ja-foia-files.pdf
Paul Close of the CPS says to Marianne Ny 25 January 2011:
‘My earlier advice remains, that in my view it would not be prudent for the Swedish authorities to try to interview [Assange] in the UK… [The defence] would inevitably allege it was conclusive proof that the Swedish authorities had no case whatsoever against him…’
Interestingly, as you can read in the article, the UK has refused to supply any of the above documents regarding the handling of the Assange case. Furthermore L’Espresso writes: “To our request to acquire any correspondence with the US authorities, the Crown Prosecution Service replied: «we neither confirm nor deny whether we hold any relevant information».”
Isn’t this yet one more indication that both the Swedish and the British prosecuting authorities over the past five years have conspired to prevent the questioning of Julian Assange depriving him of the opportunity to prove his innocence and clear his name?
Vaughan Smith of the Frontline Club (supporting journalists in the frontline) and a bail surety for Julian Assange says in relation to these new revelations: “What all this does, it prevents Julian Assange from getting the evidence that might protect him and prove his innocence into the public domain. The whole thing is a complete and utter scandal” and “Both the British and the Swedish prosecuting authorities appear not to want Julian Assange to have the opportunity to prove his innocence. It is completely scandalous; we are not all equal under the law”.
In a separate FOI request reported by investigative journalistic site Hazelpress, asking the Home Office for “any-and-all records held by the Home Office which concern current or previous plots to assassinate Julian Assange, including those generated by UK and US security agencies such as MI5, MI6 and the CIA.”
They neither confirmed or denied whether any information within the scope of the request was held by the Home Office stating that it would endanger “the trust and relations between the UK and other foreign states and their relevant security services” if they gave a different answer.
Government channels have been advising Britons on the left and right that the Assange case is a simple matter of the rule of law. In fact, it has everything to do with his role as Editor of WikiLeaks.
Julian Assange has been granted political asylum exactly because Ecuador has found his life and human rights at risk due to his work. Interestingly, publicly, neither Swedish nor British authorities recognise that asylum nor the risks that Julian Assange is facing as Editor of WikiLeaks. Sweden refuses to guarantee that he will not be extradited to the US. The Swedish Prosecutor, Marianne Ny, refused to take into account these risks and question him in a timely manner and in a fashion to protect his life and human rights. Britain too refuses to recognise that Ecuador has granted political asylum by refusing to provide safe passage to Ecuador, instead is keeping him trapped.
Still, the risks Julian Assange faces regarding not only his Human Rights but also his life are real.
London Assembly scrutinises part of the public purse the Mayor has at his disposal.
Will the Mayor now acknowledge this, years’ long, hypocrisy that has festered under his tenure and do the right thing by ending it. Will the Mayor enquire directly with the Home Office in seeking assurances that Julian Assange’s life and Human Rights will not be bargained against “the trust and relations between the UK and other foreign states and their relevant security services” but finally be respected? Will the Mayor stop the farce in which the Metropolitan Police has been asked to play a crucial role.
Could he also enquire whether the Home Office has shared with the Metropolitan Police information regarding those assassination plans against Julian Assange that the Home Office is so reluctant to confirm or deny that they hold?
Surely, this would be, truly, a simple matter of the rule of law.
Kind regards
Mrs Emmy Butlin
