Exposed: CIA used Sheldon Adelson's firm to spy on Julian Assange
from Pushback with Aaron Mate · host Pushback with Aaron Maté
In his latest Grayzone exposé, Max Blumenthal reveals how the US surveilled and targeted Wikileaks founder Julian Assange inside Ecuador’s London embassy, all while working with Trump mega-donor and casino magnate Sheldon Adelson’s security team and a Spanish company that had initially been hired to protect the embassy. Drawing on court testimony and internal documents, Blumenthal details how the CIA sabotaged an asylum plan for Assange; installed software that allowed it to directly monitor him; and harassed and monitored Assange’s attorneys, friends, family, and journalist colleagues. Guest: Max Blumenthal, Editor of The Grayzone and author of The Management of Savagery. Max Blumenthal's article: https://thegrayzone.com/2020/05/14/american-sheldon-adelsons-us-spy-julian-assange/
