this is comical given that liberal Northern enclaves are far less ideologically diverse than anywhere in the south

Not true. It distributes the truth. If ANY country is negatively impacted, that's their problem. All they have to do it quit doing shite that hurts your country, and therefore a hacker can't release it!


Selectively withholding portions of the truth is the same thing as lying.

You made a great point about it and you didn't even mean to.

I do own a company, and you're full of shite. They'd both be gone.

Yes, because the only explanation for Wikileaks posting more leaks on the West rather than Russia and China is because Russia and China are conspiring with Wikileaks. Let me help you think about it since it seems to be hard for you.

Possiblity #1: Wikileaks is composed of people from the West.

Possibility #2: Wikileaks volunteers and employees generally speak English and other European languages, making it more difficult to communicate with leakers from other parts of the world.

Possibility #3: Wikileaks is more concerned with corruption that involves the most influential entities of the world-- the US and its allies.

Possibility #4: Nations with less totalitarian governments tend to have less control over information and tend produce more whistle-blowers.

I could go on, but what is the point. Next you will tell me that the lack of leaks against North Korea means that Kim has a direct line to Assange and they are best pals.

Uh no. They are a fundamentally unsound state with a remarkable cyber and foreign intelligence capability. They have a lot of experience in doing more with less.

Oh I get it. You're still hung up on the election. Move on. It may have been the biggest event in your life, but I can assure you that for the rest of us it was just one of many elections.

I would just like to point out that Iran OPENLY supported Obama's 1st candidacy.

Not a peep from NT.

Then, Iran got major concessions from the Obama admin.

Fake news. Within the OP was a claim that I said Wikileaks is fake. That's a lie. I addressed that and clarified the nature of my critique of the organization.

Look at my join date. How could I address it.

I've discussed JCPOA at length. Started a few threads on it. My last post on the subject was as recently as two days ago as a matter of fact.

What does that have to do with this?

That there's no evidence of collusion between the campaign and the Kremlin.

Y'all, it's obvious wikileaks has it out for the US. Pretty much all of their leaks from the dawn of their existence have been targeted at us.

That said, it doesn't somehow reduce the value of what we learn. Just be aware of the devil you're dancing with.

LOLOLOL. It doesn't change the truth and make illegal activity "ok". Geeez you are dumb and I know you own and run NOTHING

You're lying. And IF you own anything, you're bad at it. Point being, if you were better at running said company, employee A wouldn't have to prove that employee B was doing illegal things.

I don't disagree.

Exactly.

Of course. But, ya know. It's funny. It's not like they're leakign PRO-Russia stuff.

People are just interpreting TRUE shite that is bad for the U.S. as "pro-Russia".

And ya know, it's about time that the American people outgrew their child like view of the American government as some group of benevolent people only looking out for their interests.

Fact is, history is NOT on the side of that interpretation.
