It's like some of you don't even know how Wikileaks works.

Somehow I believe you. But I think most people aren't quite that selfish.

I should add another element.

Namely. If the people who claim to be the world's good guys.........full of freedom and benevolent leaders are actually NOT.........then THAT is a LOT more interesting than finding out that Russia, NK and China are led by oppressive regimes.

I mean, if I know my neighbor's wife is a cheating slut, and you and your friends show up to my house with evidence of MORE cheating sluttery, I suppose that's of mild interest.

But, if later on, someone provides me evidence that it turns out that you and your friends ALL have cheating slut wives and you've gotten my wife to join you..............THAT is information worthy of paying attention to.

But, if

It's clear that some don't know shite and are quite secure in their ignorance. But being millennials they just have to be seen and heard.

A few are engaging in good faith, though.

Releasing information that showed Russia was corrupt is like releasing information that proves water is wet.

On the other hand. Releasing information that proves that the supposed good guys aren't really that much better(if at all), is actually useful information to the citizens of those places.

See. Not difficult at all.

They've released information on African, South American, and Caribbean governments. Try again.

And Russian dissidents are eager for the wider world to know the scale of Putin's corruption and repression of internal dissent. Maybe if more here had a true appreciation of it we wouldn't have so many Outin fanboys.

I wasn't aware that wikileaks had a proprietary system that was patented that no one else could duplicate.

Nope, not at all. I didn't make the promises he alleges and still hasn't shown to be accurate.

I'm simply pointing something out that I'll never let him live down.

You know which of these has a meaningful impact on my life from a day to day basis? That is the one I am concerned with. I have no problem with them exposing graft and corruption from only the United States....just because you expose some does not necessarily mean you have to expose all. And it does not discount what they expose.

For instance, you don't say "I will not pay attention to the graft and corruption they expose about the US politicians, unless they expose all of the graft and corruption of the Russian politicians. Or Syrian, or fill in the blank."

I'd say Tiguar is the only one that fits that so far.
