Um, I Think It's Time for a Thread on WikiLeaks

those emails are old news but also even when they Leaked it was old news, because the clinton campaign obviously considered trump's primary performance a best-case scenario for themselves regardless of how much ratfucking they actually did (i don't think they needed, at least, to do any). this makes them idiots who will go down in history forever as idiots, but there's lots of those.

well yeah it doesn't need to be a conspiracy. it's a mundane reality. they were friends w him for 20 years (?) before this, Bill & him golfing buddies, no doubt they knew what buttons to push and how.

lol assange did an interview w/ sean hannity. "i believe every word he says" said hannity

lol

why have the rest of wikileaks, if there is anyone else, not tossed assange out the door as spokesman

dude is the worst public face of an organization

wikileaks is about assange it is not about "radical transparency"

lol when ppl want u sacked from being head of your own personality cult

Fuck these bros and anybody who doesn't realize that they are total scum

otm

the best thing they're doing right now is if somebody says "assange is a scumbag" they tweet a link to the "free julian assange" website so they can learn the REAL truth

@WLTaskForce I think this plan is creepy, I think you're creepy and I hope someone breaks into your house and rearranges your sofa cushions.

Gah:

Patti Smith, PJ Harvey, Laibach, Chomsky, Roy, etc, lining up for this.

Oh, PJpaws.

So it was held last year but were hearing about it only now, despite "the event held simultaneous live-streamed talks and workshops in 14 cities in total, also including New York, Madrid and Bucharest"?

I would like to funnel all of my future shits into whichever basement room he tweeted that from

c/f star trek poop poll thread

Sorry in advance for being obtuse. I'll admit to not really paying attention to almost anything Wikileaks-related. It's just every time I try to sort this stuff out for myself, next thing I know my chin's on my chest. It is that boring to me. When I read news reports that cover their latest leaks or whatever, there never seems to be any material that shocks or interests me, other than a general "these leaks could compromise agents in the field".

Did anything actually important come out of the Stratfor, DNC, Vault 7, etc., beyond just fucking with the US government? And can someone give me some sort of tldr timeline of how they slid from "this might be the next pentagon papers" to "oh, fuck this guy". Was it just last year with the anti-Hillary stuff when he turned, or was there some shift before that?

Not sure about before but their twitter feed definitely started to show sighs of a merger with alt-right pov concurrent with the anti-HRC leaks (which were deliberately contextually misleading in a lot of cases)

Some breakdown on the vault 7 stuff. https://www.emptywheel.net/2017/03/23/wikileaks-permadrip-other-vault-7-documents/
The entire purpose of those dumps seemed intended to provide the illusion of back up to Trump's tweets about Obama spying on him.

Oh n/m I RTFA'd

British news still not sure how to pronounce his name, Assonzhe is winning out at the moment, as French as possible too.

First Rolf Harris now Zhulianne Assonzhe, any more Aussie sex criminals to be released in the UK?

hate hillary clinton if you want but don't turn into ben shapiro over it

The guy's a stupid motherfucker who tried (and failed) to get elected to the Australian Senate by swapping votes with a neo-nazi group, and then pretending it was a mistake when it was pointed out

Part 3 includes one of the clearest timelines I've seen on the DNC leak. Without any need for Trump collusion, for those who are searching for that.

i hope he dies in that embassy

Trying to sound as neutral as possible, I'm fairly certain he will. He doesn't seem well, neither physically or mentally, from that long read, and he doesn't sound as if he wants to go anywhere.

as much as it pains me to read anything about Assange, that is actually a really well reported article

not so difficult to understand any more why he supported trump

what a surprise, this scumbag is a neo-confederate:

he was red-pilled by being charged for his sex crimes

Those are some lyrics, right there

Somebody should pick up The Stranglers' torch, no kidding, and just take the piss out of the last 30 years

off topic but wtf

so it might be because I'm reading 'the disaster artist' but Assange is coming across like Tommy Wiseau in this piece:
