What Is Happening to Assange Will Happen to the Rest of Us
Chris Hedges

David Morales, the indicted owner of the Spanish private security firm Undercover Global, is being investigated by Spain’s high court for allegedly providing the CIA with audio and video recordings of the meetings WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange had with his attorneys and other visitors when the publisher was in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. The security firm also reportedly photographed the passports of all of Assange’s visitors. It is accused of taking visitors’ phones, which were not permitted in the embassy, and opening them, presumably in an effort to intercept calls. It reportedly stole data from laptops, electronic tablets and USB sticks, all required to be left at the embassy reception area. It allegedly compiled detailed reports on all of Assange’s meetings and conversations with visitors. The firm even is said to have planned to steal the diaper of a baby — brought to visit Assange — to perform a DNA test to establish whether the infant was a secret son of Assange. UC Global, apparently at the behest of the CIA, also allegedly spied on Ecuadorian diplomats who worked in the London embassy.

The probe by the court, the Audiencia Nacional, into the activities of
UC Global, along with leaked videos, statements, documents and reports
published by the Spanish newspaper El País as well as the Italian
newspaper La Repubblica, offers a window into the new global security
state. Here the rule of law is irrelevant. Here privacy and
attorney-client privilege do not exist. Here people live under
24-hour-a-day surveillance. Here all who attempt to expose the crimes
of tyrannical power will be hunted down, kidnapped, imprisoned and
broken. This global security state is a terrifying melding of the
corporate and the public. And what it has done to Assange it will soon
do to the rest of us…..see link”
