Want To Know Julian Assange's Endgame? He Told You A Decade Ago
Wired ^ | 14 April 2016 | Andy Greenberg

Posted on 10/17/2016 7:30:59 AM PDT by Lorianne

Amid a seemingly incessant deluge of leaks and hacks, Washington, DC staffers have learned to imagine how even the most benign email would look a week later on the homepage of a secret-spilling outfit like WikiLeaks or DCLeaks. In many cases, they’ve stopped emailing altogether, deleted accounts, and reconsidered dumbphones. Julian Assange—or at least, a ten-years-younger and more innocent Assange—would say he’s already won.

In “Conspiracy as Governance,” which Assange posted to his blog in December 2006, the leader of then-new WikiLeaks describes what he considered to be the most effective way to attack a conspiracy—including, as he puts it, that particular form of conspiracy known as a political party.

“Consider what would happen if one of these parties gave up their mobile phones, fax and email correspondence—let alone the computer systems which manage their [subscribers], donors, budgets, polling, call centres and direct mail campaigns. They would immediately fall into an organisational stupor and lose to the other.”

Every time I post, I imagine the one person in the world who desires to do the most damage to me can read and copy it.

I’m more careful than it appears, when you parse the words in my posts.

History will find Julian Assange an ABJECT HERO in the fight for freedom, liberty and government transparency.

After all, if they didn’t do these [treasonous] acts, why are they so afraid of the populace knowing of them?

Yup. The other side peresented his releases as something along the lines of providing plans for infiltrating our nuclear armaments and launching them. So far, most of what’s been released is how to keep us in the dark and continue to be manipulated.

They are practicing deception and manipulation on a grand scale. Assange has exposed them for the treacherous schemers and power hungry mobsters that they are.

I dont give a #### who reads mine. Only a treasonous govt would find the words as a reason to arrest me.

And if we get to that point, everyone will be screwed anyway.

I, on the other hand, seek to create heartburn in my nemesis' gut.

Exactly. And try to be as anonymous as possible. DO NOT POST ANY PERSONAL INFORMATION INCLUDING BIOs. I wonder if freepers know that their personal information is visible from the Internet.

You don’t know what the word “abject” means.

Other than that, I agree with your comment.

Assange is fine. The story has been debunked at Wikileaks.

Absolutely. Remember when the Left hacked Sarah Palin's email and found... absolutely nothing incriminating.
