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

Good

As per SOP the gang over at LGM took a whopping shit on that column. Remember, he gets paid $500,000 a year for this!

When you disappear so far up your own ass that Mike Pompeo seems like the reasonable one in the articles you are writing. Also, fuck this shit: And nobody has ever presented evidence that WikiLeaks conspired with whomever hacked the DNC and Podesta email inboxes to effectuate that hacking. Whomever? Whomever? Yeah, as LGM guy wrote, a new low.

11,000+ Wikileaks Twitter DMs leaked:

wikileaks is good again guys, they're about to blow the fucking lid right off this ny times op-ed sitch

Based upon our statistical analysis of the language used in the New York Times anonymous Op Ed, the author is likely to be an older (58%), conservative (92%) male (66-87%). Sources should protect themselves by consulting "adverserial stylometry" and "forensic author profiling". pic.twitter.com/yfU22OveTq

Older, conservative, male. Hm, no, still need more information to narrow it down. What race is he?

presumably they're still crunching those numbers

so there's an 8% chance that the guy who would stop the president if not for tax cuts is NOT conservative?

people are complicated ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

An adverserial stylometrist looks at text:

Hello, I'm a Christian conservative

Ah! Look how 'Christian' is capitalized? That's completely typical of what we call a 'religious mindset'.

fred wrote the op-ed

lol

Sorry to go all ENHANCE here, but the hclust() dendrogram in this tweet seems to be from an analysis of English novels? You can make out the coding: Author_Title, e.g. Conrad_Lord at the bottom; Thackeray_Vanity and Thackeray_Barry; the green ones at the top are Austen, etc. pic.twitter.com/qqYkMDcp5C

Dear followers & supporters of my son Julian.

Regretfully I am no longer involved in the campaign to free my son or available for comment. Dont worry, I'm ok.

Many thanks to everyone for your all your work, kind wishes & support.

Dear followers,
turns out my son is an unsupoortable douchecanoe & I should have left him to the wolves years ago

Ouch! Probably wouldn't expect a card on Mother's Day next year.

Looks like they deleted it.

Uh, did WikiLeaks just encourage a DoS attack on a refugee fundraising telephone line over an unrelated editorial complaint? pic.twitter.com/LaiAHc8nvf

Not sure about the legality or otherwise of dump-quoting a load of these on ILX but there are some real doozys in that list

here's a good one for starters

It is false and defamatory to suggest that Julian Assange filed a lawsuit or any other measure against Ecuador over his pet cat, laundry or cleaning [in fact, his cat is not at the embassy since before the protection case was even filed, see https://defend.wikileaks.org/about-julian/].

It is false and defamatory to suggest that Julian Assange stinks.

Not sure if this was known elsewhere or what, but Emma Best (above) has started up what seems to be a competitor for Wikileaks.

Assange arrested

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/apr/11/julian-assange-arrested-at-ecuadorian-embassy-wikileaks

bit confused by "at the embassy" - did they just invite the police inside?

Apparently yes.

rip big man, heaven needed a cupboard-dwelling 4chan rapist who did some good work by mistake 10 years ago

presumably ecuador's patience finally ran out

Right, they updated the article with the met statement already

The picture of Richard Dawkins is a weird detail.

Looks like he's adding resisting arrest to his charge sheet.

British secret service agents roughly CARRIED him into the van. RT

RIP big fella heaven needed a rapist

dammit didn't read far enough upthread

idgi did the embassy staff not let him shave?

I bet the embassy staff are glad to see the back of the scruffy freeloading cunt!

Ecuador last year established new rules for Assange's behaviour while in the embassy, which required him to pay his medical bills and clean up after his pet cat.

Ecuador otm

That's a shame.

Holy shit at that video. The guy is in his 40s. At the rate he is aging, he was going to be in assisted living in another five minutes.

Loling at his 10 metres of fresh air before being bundled into the dark interior of a police van and thence to a windowless cell.

That's a shame.

in... what sense

what's happening with his cat now?

heard they do some delightful buffets at the Ecuadorian embassy.

#freethecat

I was shocked that the NPR news just mentioned that the US hates Wikileaks for revealing its slaughter of civilians in their forever wars.

keep going with that "rapist" stuff w/out knowing the facts, bizz

Don't worry, we will. I see he's modelled his current look on Radovan Karadžić - The New Age Years.

Yeah, admittedly before Assange nobody knew civilians had been killed by the US ever. #fact

great take
