SHOCK Julian Assange video emerges of US government FURY: Was there a plot to kill him?
DOES a shocking video released by WikiLeaks prove that the US government were plotting to assassinate whistle-blower Julian Assange?
Shock video emerges showing US fury at Assange
The video allegedly shows high-profile US political figures seemingly sanctioning the assassination of Mr Assange in order to cutoff his delivery of intelligence leaks.
As the 45-year-old appears by video link at a Berlin conference to mark the tenth anniversary of WikiLeaks, the video shows US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and current Vice President Joe Biden discussing how to end Assange’s leaks.
The YouTube upload shows furious political officials discussing why they should put an end to WikiLeaks.
Mr Biden describes the 45-year-old as a “high-tech terrorist”, as he says the US government are investigating how to stop the intelligence leaks.
I’m not for the death penalty, the only way to do it is to illegally shoot the son of a b****
Mrs Clinton describes one of the leaks as an “attack on American foreign policy interests” and “an attack on the international community”.
According to claims by political website True Pundit, Mrs Clinton openly inquired about the use of a drone attack after coming under pressure from President Barack Obama to stop WikiLeaks.
The conspiracy theory claimed Clinton asked: “Can’t we just drone this guy?’ according to State Department sources.
In the video released in 2012, former Democratic advisor Bob Beckel can be seen openly suggesting that Assange should be assassinated on a news broadcast.
He said: “How we deal with this is pretty simple.
“We have Special Ops forces, I mean a dead man can’t leak stuff. This guy's a traitor, treasonous and he has broken every law in the United States.
“The guy ought to be – and I’m not for the death penalty. If I’m not for the death penalty, the only way to do it is to illegally shoot the son of a b****.”
The video has resurfaced as Assange has fuelled speculation that he will release damaging documents on the Democratic presidential candidate Mrs Clinton.
Assange has long threatened to release documents on Mrs Clinton and last month repeated his claim that WikiLeaks has damaging information on the presidential candidate.
He suggested the whistleblowing site WikiLeaks may release teasers, but no information has been published yet.
