A 900-strong audience in the packed Kensington Town Hall in central London listened as Mr. Julian Assange defended the need for anonymous whistle blowing, arguing that it made the world a safer place. The “bloodbath” in Iraq was avoidable, if someone had had the courage to speak up.

Mr. Assange, making a rare public appearance, said the WikiLeaks cables were making a difference in ways that many Britons would not have heard about. In addition, then, he referred to the developments in India following The Hindu's reporting of WikiLeaks documents.

Challenged over WikiLeaks' own transparency, he said, “We are directly supported on a week-to-week basis by you. You vote with your wallets every week if you believe that our work is worthwhile or not. If you believe we have erred, you do not support us. If you believe we need to be, protected in our work, you keep us strong. That dynamic feedback, I say, is more responsive than a government that is elected after sourcing money from big business every four years.”

Mr. Assange, who is fighting extradition to Sweden to face allegations of sexual assault, said whistleblowing, was essential in a democracy because “the only way we can know whether information is legitimately kept secret is when it is revealed.”

During the debate, “This house believes whistleblowers make the world a safer place,” Mr. Assange was, challenged about his web site's source of funding and style of operation.

Stating that he could “speak for hours” about the reverberations sparked by the cables around the world, he noted: “Just yesterday [on Saturday], the Editor of The Hindu, the most respected paper in India, brought over 21 front pages from the past six weeks that were based on cable gate material. Indian Parliament walked out four times and there's now a tremendous anti-corruption movement that has been building up in that country — something that has not happened since the time of Gandhi.”

I am putting this material on Julian Assange because my recent findings gave me shock of life. I was told by somebody who has links with the company owned by Niira Radia. He told me that as soon as Mr. Assange declared the list of black money holders in which Niira Radia is also mentioned; Mrs. Niira contacted him and made a deal to disown the publication. A fabulous amount changed hands and after that, he declared that the inventory is not genuine. This gave complete protection to all the black money holders and gave reasonable set back to the anti corruption movement of which he claims credit.

This revelation shows that Julian Assange is not a true whistleblower as he claims but he is a black mailer. All tall claims he is making that he and his team are whistleblowers is completely false. While doing this he also claims the credit for Anna’s movement. From the information, it becomes very clear that this man is selling the information or uses it to black mail the concerned people or government to make money. This also clearly shows that his claim that his finance is coming from the people is also not true. His finance and his sources are mostly from the people like Radia and other black money holders.

The modus operandi is simple. First to declare the information to pretend to be a whistleblower and if the party concerned approaches for a compromise, he takes money and then declares that information “not genuine”. This is not the sign of a true whistleblower.

I ask Julian Assange to declare true list since, he claims that he has one and that way prove that the list already out is not genuine. Merely by commenting that, “that list is not genuine”, will not do. If he cannot declare his "genuine list", it shall surely prove that the list now available is true.
