Russians targeting Wikileaks to stop new data dump

[bijou]

Until now, Julian Assange has selected his adversaries rather well.  Despite humiliating the Obama administration three times, the White House has done little except announce a preliminary probe into potential criminal charges against Assange and his team at Wikileaks.  The Daily Beast reports that when it came to Assange’s next adversary, he may have chosen … poorly:

    American intelligence and law-enforcement agencies, outraged by their inability to stop WikiLeaks and its release this week of hundreds of thousands of sensitive U.S. diplomatic cables, are convinced that the whistle-blowing website is about to come up against an adversary that will stop at nothing to shut it down: The Russian government.

    National security officials say that the National Security Agency, the U.S. government’s eavesdropping agency, has already picked up tell-tale electronic evidence that WikiLeaks is under close surveillance by the Russian FSB, that country’s domestic spy network, out of fear in Moscow that WikiLeaks is prepared to release damaging personal information about Kremlin leaders.

    “We may not have been able to stop WikiLeaks so far, and it’s been frustrating,” a U.S. law-enforcement official tells The Daily Beast. “The Russians play by different rules.” He said that if WikiLeaks and its founder, Julian Assange, follow through on threats to post highly embarrassing information about the Russian government and what is assumed to be massive corruption among its leaders, “the Russians will be ruthless in stopping WikiLeaks.”

Nice to see that SOMEONE does more than just blow a lot of smoke when it comes to dealing with that treasonous bastard and his website.

Yeah......the FSB (formerly known as the KGB) has the annoying capability of making its targets "disappear", unconstrained by the niceties of "law".

Maybe the Russians will make this problem "go away"?!

Somebody will, because the Big Zero won't.

Remember, other countries are threatened by the leaks too, not just the United States.

I know the zero won't.
His boy puppet master, George Soros is pretty much behind much of the wikileaks.

Let's see. China probably isn't too happy to let it be known they are scared of Pelosi.  The Arabs aren't happy with Iran knowing that they aren't backing them. I'm sure there are other countries that aren't to thrilled either.

I;m certain that the list of countires that would love to see Julie dissapear and never see daylihgt is rather long and pointing to any single one of them will get nowhere. The Chinese alone could and would do it and no one could prove it.

Yes, I hear that hotel has room service of a "special" kind.
