your cognitive privilege (El Tomboto), Thursday, 11 May 2017 01:21 (six years ago) link

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.

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

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

-_- (jim in vancouver), Monday, 14 August 2017 18:38 (six years ago) link

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.

Frederik B, Monday, 14 August 2017 18:48 (six years ago) link

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

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

This fucking guy...

The recent spate of Congressional committees demanding privileged legal & journalistic communications is unacceptable. Such actions infringe on both press freedoms and the right to fair & effective legal representation. @WikiLeaks will litigate aggressively to protect its rights.

"The government of Ecuador has suspended the systems that allow Julian Assange to communicate to the outside of the Ecuador embassy in London… The measure was adopted due to Assange not complying with a written promise which he made with the government in late 2017, by which he was obliged not to send messages which entailed interference in relation to other states," the government said in a statement.

would be hilarious if Assange gave himself up because he couldn't get online
