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.
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…
Yeah, quite a few that opposed Putin just so happen to walk out of windows and poison themselves, one even put cuffs on beat the shit out of himself and gladly ate poison, while locked up
Hillary Clinton wanted him assassinated… but yeah they don’t usually assassinate journalists
From what I’ve read, it was good at first, then he started cherry picking and only releasing leaks that were convenient for him and aligned with his views.
Who are the ones determining what is “convenient” to Asange and what are their politics? Just because someone will make the accusation does not make it truth.
He’s a leaker. He HAS to be selective. He might not even be getting valid info. He might be getting doctored info that would expose his sources if he leaked it, etc, etc. There is every valid reason he has to not publish something that people ignore when they make such accusations.
Wikileaks is accused of not releasing information that would be harmful to the reputation of Russia.
Stop right there.
The wiki leaks ama on reddit openly admitted to selectively releasing to further their own agenda.
Because propaganda works.
-
The USA created some thoroughly disproven ‘rape’ charges (it was never a rape charge but that was the media reporting and most people don’t read beyond headlines).
-
Classic painting of him as a traitor. We have ‘evidence’ you can’t see that he works for [insert enemy here]
If you go against Russia/China/North Korea/Iran/India, they send a hitman to assassinate you. If you go against US and its allies, they assassinate your character first and you die in an accident in the prison with the camera footage missing.
And this is if you are actually somewhat popular, if not there are a tons of black sites they where they do Russia/China/North Korea/India shit and their populace will deflect how they are more humane like their life depends on it.
Some people confuse him for Edward Snowden (and vice versa). So he’s got that going for him too.
