Interview
[edit on 27-7-2010 by Bonified Ween]
An interesting note in the Times story concerns WikiLeaks chief Julian Assange: "White House officials e-mailed reporters select transcripts of an interview Mr. Assange conducted with Der Spiegel, underlining the quotations the White House apparently found most offensive. Among them was Mr. Assange's assertion, 'I enjoy crushing bastards.' " Assange told reporters he wanted the material to lead to "new policies, if not prosecutions." His agenda is clear.

The white house was behind the leaks and plans to fully exploit it to change war policy, criminalize the former Bush administration, and gain political advantage over republicans.
Yes, it is clear!

Evil? Define evil and then assign an evil factor to it. There are lesser evils and greater evils. And there's motive and intent.

This is warring subfaction...say Zionist vs CFR, for want of better terms...both of which still have influence over our government at various levels, both visible to us and not. I wouldn't go so far as to say that either White House or the Democrats or Obama have approved or are controlling these leaks.

There's a difference. Also, which government was my point. The one you see and think is in power or the one you don't see? Linking "the White House" to this is retarded.

People often ask me if I think this source or that source is disinfo...
My response is always: TREAT EVERY SOURCE AS DISINFO.
I've read interesting things on WikiLeaks, many of which I have linked to from here. Does that mean that I'm sure it's not some kind of front or honeypot? Not at all. How could I know for sure, given what's knowable in the public domain about WikiLeaks?
Julian Assange's recent comment in the Belfast Telegraph about 9/11, however, may be a more tangible source of concern for me. I know Assange isn't an idiot, so I see three other possibilities:
- He is profoundly ignorant of the vast body of material that demonstrates that the 9/11 spectacle was a false flag operation.
- He's "picking his battles" and not wanting to have to deal with the inevitable conspiracy theory stigma that could threaten his media access
- He's running a limited hangout/honeypot
Of these three options, I doubt that it's number two.
For me, the most worrying thing about WikiLeaks is the promotion it receives from the corporate media. Even the trash talking Wired is promoting Wikileaks by constantly mentioning it.
