Bullshit. Unlike Wikileaks, of which the 'Russian intelligence' smear has never been substantiated, DDoSecrets works with organizations that are indirectly and directly financed by intelligence agencies and smears those outside of this information complex. Namely, Wikileaks.

They work with the OCCRP, which is made up directly of intelligence shills like Radio Free Europe, and groups funded by the NED. That's the agency the CIA used to finance armed groups in Nicuragua after the Iran-Contra affair. This is not an independent organization.



Source? It would sound more credible if you didn't poison the well, Wikileaks is far from a neutral organization[1].

Such as suggesting Syria chemical attack was false flag[2].

Seymour Hersch came to similar conclusions, and was pilloried for it.

By Bellingcat, the Western intelligence services' pet wikileaks.

Assange did 'citizen journalism' wrong, and he has been deprived of normal human freedoms for more than a decade because of it, while never being charged of any crime.

Even now he resides in quasi-solitary confinement in one of the UK's most notorious prisons, still he has never been charged with a crime.

The treatment of Assange is, with Guantanomo Bay, an obvious and continuously damaging rebuke to the West's posturing about human rights and freedoms. In retrospect we should not have been surprised by the EU's blanket censorship of Russian media and 24/7 pro Ukrainian propaganda.

What is happening to Assange is a warning to all of us. If we choose to pettifog about the definition of a journalist, or complain about political partisanship, we are missing the larger point completely.


Seymour Hersch, who has published 0 evidence for his claim about Syria chemical attack and also just happens to be defending Russia any chance he gets?[1]

No wonder people would 'pilloried' him, because someone as well respected journalist as him should know better than just throw out conspiracies.

Sorry but Assange treatment or mistreatment in jail has nothing to do with the credibility of WikiLeaks.

And how this somehow has something to do with the Russian media and Ukrainian media is relevant, how exactly?

The irony is that comments that are like this is most similar to that of propaganda, lose references, emotional appeal and creating a smokescreen to redirect people away.
