London — Intrepid, distinguished journalist John Pilger, in conjunction with Dartmouth Films, exclusively interviewed Wikileaks founder Julian Assange to glean imperative points revealed in past and ongoing leaks of emails from the accounts of Hillary Clinton — a presidential candidate Assange says has been "eaten alive" by hubristic ambitions.

For all intents and purposes a political prisoner, ultimately of the United States, living in asylum inside the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, Assange spared no niceties in revelations provided by released documents:

"I actually feel quite sorry for Hillary Clinton as a person because I see someone who is eaten alive by their ambitions,  tormented literally to the point where they become sick," as in the fainting episode during a 9/11 memorial, Assange told Pilger.

Nevertheless, "She represents a whole network of people and a network of relationships with particular states. The question is how does Hillary Clinton fit in this broader network?  She's a centralising cog. You've got a lot of different gears in operation from the big banks like Goldman Sachs and major elements of Wall Street, and Intelligence and people in the State Department and the Saudis.

"She's the centraliser that inter-connects all these different cogs.  She's the smooth central representation of all that, and 'all that' is more or less what is in power now in the United States. It's what we call the establishment or the DC consensus."

When asked whether or not Trump will win the election, Assange responded by noting that Clinton can and will rig the election in her favor.

"My answer is that Trump would not be permitted to win."
