Aren't you supposed to get some sort of memo from your handler about terms not to use outside of alt-right echo chambers?
Literally two words and you're down ever having credibility on this site again. You're going to get fired at this rate.
Are you accusing me of being a Russian shill or alt-right plant? Provide some support for this or retract it. I've been consistent and vocal on this issue since the old site.
The criticism of the American intelligence community isn't just an alt-right talking point. That you think it is means that you just aren't paying attention. On the left we have had concerns about them that go back decades. They've deposed sovereign governments, tortured, sabotauged POC leadership here in the US, provided weapons and training to terrorists who use those same tools on American citizens, and, since 2002, have been engaging in a bulk warrant-less surveillance of American citizens as well as allies. Among other atrocities too numerous to name here spanning many, many years.
So yes, I am going to be continue to be critical of the deep state and authoritarianism in general.
2. The idea that Assange or Wikileaks are "tools of russia" is total conspiracy theory, approaching Alex Jones territory. If the Russian GRU, under the guise of Guccifer 2.0 actually were the source of the DNC emails (and I don't have a big objection to that idea), WL did the right thing by releasing the material. If Guccifer gave the emails to the NYT, and the NYT didn't release them, it would be an unbelievable failure of journalism. Not saying WL's approach to dumping the entire archive was the best way to go, but any outlet worth consideration would have published stories from that material. To say WL are tools of Russia, you'd have to show some deeper collaboration, and it hasn't been shown by the Mueller investigation or anywhere else.
You're right in that I don't have any direct proof, because any communications Assange had with Russia is not public knowledge at this point. It is a black box. But when the output of that black box favors Russia, and preferred Russian tools like Trump and the GOP, it points to a collaboration. I believe that, years later, we will have hard evidence of that collaboration.
There are a lot of Russian fingerprints all over both the Trump White House and Assange/Wikileaks. You call it a conspiracy theory, I say that there is too much to be coincidence.
Careful, you'll sound like a bootlicking liberal
I've been consistent on this for years, just being realistic about Assange, who did some useful things but is not a hero in my eyes.
