Wikileaks silences critics by turning sights on Russia
Up until a year ago, the American left adored Wikileaks. What reason did they have to stand in the way of the organisation which dared to go after George Bush's perverted attempts at using the threat of Islamic Terrorism in order to conduct the most grotesque seizure of power and resources across the Middle-East?
Of course, when Obama duped the public with his promises of progressivism before expanding Bush's military vision, as well as implementing George Orwell's worst nightmares in the form of the NSA, the left remained silent. War isn't necessarily evil, you see, as long as it's a proclaimed 'progressive' who is pulling the trigger. Progressive violence.
But then, during last year's election farce, Assange's pet project had the balls to go after Henry Kissinger's warhawkish apprentice Hillary Clinton. This crossed the line for the left.
In that moment Wikileaks became 'Russian Wikileaks', as Clinton so cleverly put it. A new Red Terror was invoked in order to stop people reading the Clinton emails that Wikileaks published for the world to see.
The fact that there was no evidence to corroborate this absurd claim aside from the accounts of DNC-bankrolled tech agencies or deep state spooks is naturally glossed-over.
So now Wikileaks need to rebrand themselves as the anti-Putin brigade in order to quell these baseless accusations, and what better way to do that than to expose the Russian state surveillance system the same way as Edward Snowden exposed the American one?
Assuming this is true, I wonder how the democrats will spin this one?
They will ignore it, plain and simple. When things interrupt their narrative they simply ignore them.
My thoughts exactly.
I think you're both correct.
We already know that they won't spin it at all. Their favorite form of lie is omission, you can expect the same behavior here.
if in this world we still kill killing, then this world more and more bloodshed, and until whenever independence will not exist.
very good article, thank you @thatsnumberwang
Thanks for sharing @thatsnumberwang. By the way, I'm a big fan of Noam Chomski and I would like to share one of his quotes on this topic here:

I recommend you change that perspective on Noam Chomsky. He is an idiot savant at best. At worst he is an ideologue fooling simpletons into thinking they are intellectuals that see the grand scope of geopolitics by blaming everything on the US.
Second this: Noam Chomsky is a single minded fool who just likes to sit on the edgy side by screaming about fake wars and Western evil. He was a brilliant scholar in his time but has outlived his relevancy.
I love your cover image... haha
