When David Shayler and Annie Machon became British MI5 intelligence officers in the 1990s, they were excited to make a difference in the world. But just a few months into their new roles, they began to lose faith in their government. They believed the security services were spying on politicians, failing to stop terrorists and even plotting assassination attempts. Frustrated, they took drastic action, and spent the next three years on the run. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

None of the organisers had ever dreamt it would be this much of a success. The Free Assange Wave in Brussels kicked off with a panel session on Friday evening, the 22nd of April 2022, and continued the next day with a protest rally, laced with high-profile speakers and dedicated artists. In this podcast, Potkaars interviews the organisers who describe how seemingly out of nowhere, a bunch of unaffiliated Europe-based Assange campaigners got together online and organised it. This is a twently minute edit of ther full 70 minute interview that can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/s2Lb4iuLPqgThe organisers discuss the travelling statue 'Anything to say' with its creator and a new rally and art exhibition event coming up in Leipzig Germany on July 2nd and 3rd. They call artists to action on every stage, much like they did themselves in Brussels april 22nd where guest speakers included Christophe Marchand, Assange's Belgian human rights lawyer and member of Assange's international legal team. Musician David Rovics, and speeches by UK MP Jeremy Corbyn, Iceland's ex-minister Ögmundur Jonásson, EU MP Mick Wallace, Annie Machon (ex-MI5) and German MP Andrej Hunko. Throughout this interview you'll see images from the event and of a performace blending into Assange's voice chiming over La Place de la Monnaie where Stella Assange voiced a heart-breaking and hopeful ‘Thank You' to all present, while her husband's words resonated:“If you give up what is uniquely yours, as a human being, if you surrender your consciousness, your independence, your sense of what is right and what is wrong, in other words, perhaps, without knowing it, you become passive and controlled, unable to defend yourselves and those you love. We have to educate each other. We have to celebrate those who reveal the truth. Denounce those who poison our ability to comprehend the world that we live in.”Please sign RSF's petition: https://rsf.org/en/petition/freeassange-sign-urge-uk-home-secretary-priti-patel-reject-julian-assange's-extraditionthe dance/speech performance on April 22nd in Brussels can be seen here in full source https://youtu.be/s2Lb4iuLPqgreport/article (in Dutch) https://potkaars.nl/blog/2022/5/10/julians-vrijheid-is-jouw-vrijheid-verslag-van-assange-rallies-in-europa-engelsguests: Davide Dormino, James Andrew, Marie France Deprez, Manja McCade, Michelle Aslanides, Kamila, Djamila le Pairhost: Rico Brouwer

Julian Assange, journalist and publisher, lies stricken this weekend in a Belmarsh Prison cell. It has been revealed that he has suffered a stroke on top of all the psychological and physical health attrition that has occurred over the 11 years of his incarceration. First in the Ecuadorian embassy and the last two years in a maximum security prison usually reserved for mass murderers and terrorists. Julian Assange has actually been convicted of nothing, but he is being kept in conditions that are attracting the attention of human rights organizations all over the world. The British and American states are subjecting themselves to quite severe collateral damage to their reputation by this relentless pursuit of this journalist. So, we invited Annie Machon, a former MI5 officer, to ask what it is that makes them conclude the damage and detriment to their reputation is worth it. Hawaii would have been in the news this week anyway as the island remembered the 80th anniversary of the controversial bombing of the Pacific fleet in Pearl Harbor, an act which brought America into the Second World War. But Island activists are creating waves about two current controversies; The Red Hill Petrol leak is attracting attention from all over the world as jet oil from World War II tanks is now leaking and contaminating the water. Coupled with this, the siting of a telescope on sacred land on the dormant volcano of Mauna Kea has seen arrests of 33 Native Hawaiian elders for peacefully blocking construction resulting in an emergency order giving more authority to the law to remove demonstrators. Kaniela Ing is a politician, community organizer, and activist, so we invited him aboard Sputnik to tell us more about the 50th State of America which is more than just sand, sea, and surfing.

Annie is a former MI5 intelligence officer turned whistleblower, who went on the run for blowing the whistle on a number of wrongdoings within the intelligence agency.  Grab your supplements and health products from Feel Supreme using the link below; www.feelsupreme.co.uk/legit     Support us on Patreon for just £1 per episode https://www.patreon.com/legitpodcast     Follow us on Social Media Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelegitpodcast Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/legpodcast   Listen to the podcast; Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-leg-it-podcast/id1449038179 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/2DGLtVb Other Podcast Providers: https://www.linktr.ee/thelegitpodcast   Contact us: thelegitpodcast@gmail.com

On this episode of Passport, we go to the fog of London, and walk the fine line between the glamorous lifestyle of James Bond and the realities of spies sitting on the complicated grey streets of England’s capital. We see this fictional world through the eyes of writers and films, from Bond to Villanelle, a stylish femme fetal character from the new series, “Killing Eve.” We dive into what could possibly have inspired these characters, and the city they all have in common. Our touch of reality is Annie Machon, a legendary ex-MI5 whistleblower who fled the London streets leaving any possible spy devices at home, to escape one of the most surveilled cities in the world, and disappear into the picturesque countryside of France.For more, including links to the things we talked about, and the places we visited, plus a full transcript, visit: https://frequencymachine.com/passport Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/passport.
