Isn’t WikiLeaks a compromised Russian op now? Of all of the right-wing organizations out there, they target these two?
@acastcandream except for the fact that’s an absolute lie. he said - repeatedly - that they didn’t receive anything about him that hadn’t already been published and widely disseminated. that isn’t the kind of lazy ‘journalism’ they do, repeating old news that wasn’t that important to begin with. they have standards/criteria for what they publish. they do real journalism.
he also said, repeatedly, that choosing either of them was like trying to choose between gonorrhea and cholera. he’s also NOT AMERICAN. so, not about his personal politics.
he’s also spoken several times about having to be the public spokesperson for wikileaks. it was not about fame, but, he was internationally famous, and beloved and admired, well before 2016. so again, not about fame.
and of course he selected and chose what and when to publish. he was the publisher. duh. that was his job, to make those decisions.
I’m not confident it is a Russian op, but Russia has always fueled both sides of the political spectrum. They don’t necessarily want one side to prevail, they just want their opponents to be divided.
In the last 7 years they’ve been pretty one sided on the political propaganda spectrum
They’re definitely in favor of the right, but it was only a few years ago that a Russian-backed bot fa was found to be running both right-wing and left-wing propaganda accounts. They know that if we’re busy fighting amongst ourselves, we won’t pay as much attention to everything that they’re doing.
Good ol’ “Foundations of Geopolitics.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics
It’s succeeding beyond Dugin’s wildest dreams.
Maybe they don’t target anybody and just publish what gets into their hands and they see as worthy of publication. They are not the leakers they are the publishers.
