WikiLeaks' coordination with Trump's statements
Over the election cycle, it became clear that the WikiLeaks twitter account would publish tweets to bolster Trump's arguments on something. A good current example is WikiLeaks tweeting about Merkel being wiretapped by Obama (false, since the wiretapping began in 2002, before Obama even became POTUS, but whatever) and retweeting a video of Trump politicizing his false claims by saying "that's something we have in common" in front of Merkel. The reason this is important is because WikiLeaks has become increasingly politicized over the election cycle. It is trying to bolster false claims made by the current President. We know the wiretapping claim is false. It has been revealed that one of the three intelligence sources Judge Napolitano of Fox News used to claim Obama wiretapped Trump is Larry C. Johnson, known for spreading a 2008 hoax about Michelle Obama using a racist slur against Whites. Source. Just to clarify, the hoaxer, Larry C. Johnson, called the NYT himself and admitted he was one of the three intelligence sources Napolitano spoke to when claiming Obama wiretapped Trump. It was recently said that "Trump is compromising the vital UK-US security relationship to try to cover his own embarrassment" In a recent press conference, Spicer claimed that Judge Napolitano heard from some anonymous intelligence officials that Obama used Britain's GCHQ to spy on Trump and his associates. The GCHQ issued a rare statement, claiming this was "utter rubbish." Later on, it was revealed by the Telegraph and CNN that the U.S. national security advisor formally apologized to Great Britain, promising to not repeat the allegations, revealing that the matter had been brought up by PM Theresa May herself. Source 1. Source 2. Spicer denied an apology ever took place, but the GCHQ later said in a public statement that this had indeed been done. Furthermore, Spicer claimed that the White House was not accusing Britain of anything, "just passing on reports." Trump, in an interview with Fox News' Tucker Carlson, claimed he got the news from the NYT and Fox News. The NYT did use the word "wiretap" but it never said Obama ordered a wiretap on Trump during the election, as Trump claimed in his tweet . The author even said "It is not clear whether the intercepted communications had anything to do with Mr. Trump’s campaign, or Mr. Trump himself." Trump could easily find out whether a court ever issued such a warrant. Trump also mentioned a Fox News segment with host Bret Baier as a source. However, that segment — and a few more news articles the White House mentioned — contain zero evidence to backup the claims. For one, it begs the question as to why the White House, with direct access to the intelligence community, would rely on a cable TV show to hear, by anonymous proxy, the opinions of the intelligence community on this claim? Regardless, blaming your closest ally for colluding with the former President to spy on the current President is a major accusation. This could easily have blown out of proportion. It was a bad idea to drag Great Britain into this domestic political squabble, thus requiring a formal apology. WikiLeaks also tweeted links to t_D, at one time linking to a blatantly false post about Hillary's connections to human traffickers. Lastly, it is clear WikiLeaks loves all this. To understand Julian Assange, one must realize that he is an anti-imperialist Leftist. He opposes the U.S. and its state organs. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but he has now become anti-American. His goal is to destroy America's relations with other countries, including Germany, which is why WL is gleefully discussing the U.S. wiretapping Merkel and Trump mocking her for that. Consider this: the U.S. government discloses approximately 91% of all software vulnerabilities it finds, including zero-days. Russia and China? Zero percent. And yet, it is the CIA that is demonized for not disclosing the other 9%. Is the CIA a public charity? It hires and pays security researchers to find exploits that they can use against foreign adversaries, just as many, many other countries do. If it disclosed everything, it wouldn't be able to use these exploits against foreign adversaries. Reactionaries, bolstered by Trump's win, are prime useful idiots to believe this. They are being used to further promote the destruction of America's cyber-power. Hoaxes like PizzaGate are spread, to distract them from real problems. If any of you read and translate Russian or Chinese social media. you'll find that they love Trump. But not for the reasons you would think. They love him because he's a fool and they know the U.S.' power will deteriorate due to him. WikiLeaks' opposition to TPP and TTIP is also because it would strengthen the U.S. against China. Assange is being manipulated by Mercer and Russian propaganda, both working towards the destruction of American power. The Empire will crumble. That is the end goal. I have been combing through WikiLeaks' tweets over the election cycle and finding those that were sent out to help Trump/attack Clinton. submitted by /u/DownWithAssad [link] [comments]
