Is something leaking?

 When Nixon was president, some Republicans working for his re-election broke into the Watergate Hotel office of the Democrat National Committee (DNC). Nixon ordered everything about this classified and said he'd have anyone publishing anything arrested. The Washington Post published anyway, and this was repeated in other newspapers. Nixon tried, but the courts refused to indict or hear lawsuits, and Nixon resigned. That was a long time ago.

When Airman Teixeira leaked some classified documents to a locked chatroom, and one of the other chatters put them in plain view, the New York Times and the Washington Post had their staffs find Teixeira and hand him over to the police. He revealed secrets about the proxy war in the Ukraine that neither the US government nor the New York Times nor the Washington Post wanted anyone to know. The US government classifies just about everything. In World War II, the US government broke the Japanese code. This was, of course, Top Secret, as such information always is.

Now, the government classifies anything and everything, and, as far as I know, does not have the Russian or PRC or DPRK secret code that tells them what's going on, so none of that classified stuff is classified for military reasons, but just to make sure it can never embarrass the government.

So the US wants to gaol Assange for 175 years for revealing classified information, and the UK agrees that's a very lenient sentence for his heinous crime of telling Western voters the truth about what the US and UK are doing. The crown judge agreed he belongs in gaol for Life without Parole, but said UK law does not permit the UK to send anyone to serve in a US gaol since US gaols do not meet UK minimum standards for humane imprisonment. The High Court ruled that, for the heinous crime of telling the truth, Life in a posh, country-club UK prison was much too lenient a sentence, and Assange must be sent to serve his time in a US prison where they know far better than the UK how to use the methods developed by that great teacher of prison science, Torquemada, so Assange must be extradited to the US ASAP. For some reason, Assange is still in the posh, UK country-club prison Belmarsh awaiting that extradition, but probably not for too much longer.

The documents leaked by Teixeira are quite the mixture. The page published by the New York Times and Washington Post says that the Ukraine have a total of 100,000 killed and wounded (mostly wounded with minor wounds), while the Russians have more than 300,000 dead, so Putin's entire military invasion force have been lost; however, the Ukraine are running out of ammunition, so, if the West do not immediately send many more $billions, an easy victory could degenerate into a stalemate.

But there's a page the New York Times and Washington Post know is a heinous crime to publish: it says that Russia are winning, the Ukrainians have lost 7 times as many men and 7 times as much materiel as the Russians and are losing the war, and there does not seem to be anything NATO can do to stop them. Tucker Carlson, the most popular newscaster on the US news, reported on this page, and was fired and blocked from broadcast and print.

 The rest of the media dutifully reiterate that the Ukraine are very close to the complete defeat of Russia, regime change in Russia, and all Russian energy will be awarded to Western oligarchs as war reparations. This, and only this, may legally be printed or broadcast in the West. One reads this in the US, UK, and European newspapers, and sees it broadcast on CNN, BBC, France24, DW, etc. etc.
