I thought he was like one of the most important whistleblowers of our time exposing war crimes and shit. Some of you don’t wanna see him live another day, why is that?

“We had several leaks sent to Wikileaks, including the Russian hack. It would have exposed Russian activities and shown WikiLeaks was not controlled by Russian security services,” the source who provided the messages wrote to FP. “Many Wikileaks staff and volunteers or their families suffered at the hands of Russian corruption and cruelty, we were sure Wikileaks would release it. Assange gave excuse after excuse.”

Because obvious Russian asset is obvious.

Here’s the full story

according to chat messages and a source who provided the records.

if you’re going to pretend like that’s solid proof, then you’re the asset.

assange did also mention that they were reluctant to publish russian documents because russia isn’t reluctant to assassinate people

russia isn’t reluctant to assassinate people

Look at me, I care about human freedoms so much that my life is more important, so I’ll help Russia to paint a skewed picture instead.

nice try, shilly… but there’s a huge difference between “reluctant to get killed by russia” and “helping them paint a skewed picture”

btw, the DNC leaks were not from a russian hacker, they were from Seth Rich, who was killed for it.

also, america was off limits for many years for similar reasons.
and they’re still in the process of extraditing him to slowly kill him in prison

Truthfully it was also articles about them releasing DNC hacks but refusing to do rnc hacks that seemed most obvious to me.

At best they’re extremely partisan at worst they are a Russian asset.

refusing to do rnc hacks

no they did not! they never had leaks from the RNC and as such, could not release it.
you know they don’t do any hacking, right?
people (usually whistleblowers) leak info to wikiLEAKS, and then they verify it and publish it.
they would love to do rnc leaks if they had that information…
