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?

    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

          You are aware that people can disagree with your conclusions without being a shill, right? Seth Rich’s parents would also like you to stop disrespecting his memory by saying he was murdered by the DNC, they even refute he was the DNC email leaker.

            if you made any sense in your “disagreement” other than vitriolic repetition of easily discredited lies, well then i’d consider you might not be a shill.

            the DNC leaks were an inside job. This was proven forensically by Bill Binny, an NSA whistleblower…
            Seth Rich fit the MO and was murdered shortly thereafter by people that didn’t take anything… killed, not robbed…

            it could’ve been not him, but there’s a lot more reason to think it was him over russian hackers… or are you really taking the government’s word on leaks about the government?

            his parents would have no way of knowing any better than me, so i don’t see how that’s relevant…

              Bill Benny, Trump Qult member, enthusiastically refutes reports that exonerates the DNC of murder. Shocking. You accuse me of taking the government’s word when you’re taking the word of someone with an agenda. I mention Seth’s parents because they have a a vested interest in finding out the truth of what happened to their son and their conclusion is the DNC leaker conspiracy theory is a a load of bullshit.

              A month after visiting CIA headquarters, Binney came to Britain. After re-examining the data in Guccifer 2.0 files thoroughly with the author of this article, Binney changed his mind. He said there was “no evidence to prove where the download/copy was done”. The Guccifer 2.0 files analysed by Leonard’s g-2.space were “manipulated”, he said, and a “fabrication”.

                  That part’s far less relevant than when he admitted he had no means of assessing the source of the guccifer leaks when he reexamined the docs.

      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…

              He’s using the website as a vehicle to promote his own messiah complex, and idiots like you fall for it because it makes you feel edgy by association.

              Give a plausible reason why he didn’t release info about Russia.

                they did not have that info to release.

                wikileaks doesn’t magically generate leaks, they wait until someone else submits leaks to them.
