Why? Its obvious why at this point.

They haven't posted a SINGLE ANTI-Russian document since they threatened to leak documents in 2010

This is ONLY about Embarrassing the West.

At first I was skeptical, now i'm fully convinced that Assange and crew are TOTAL useful idiots.

View on HN

There are no anti-russian documents because Assange nor any of his activists care about Russia. They care about the Western world, that's why they prod it.

If this is the case, they can't claim to be objective.

They don't claim to be objective, they claim to pass on data that is real. You don't know what they don't pass on, you don't know what they change and you can't know whether or not something is real without outside verification. Think of them as an imperfect channel that seems to present - to date at least - an insane amount of real data and the occasional manipulated video.

They are objective about the western world.

I live in the western world, so that's what I care about.

Strange because Snowden lives in Russia, you'd think he'd care about his new home. Surely he cares about all the oppression that's going on in here?

It is curious, isn't it. It does make for a useful front organization...

It just hit me...they leaked TPP...when was the last time a non-Western agreement got leaked?

I really don't understand your point: do you consider leaking the TPP draft "anti-west"? because in my honest opinion WL did a huge service to the western world by publishing this atrocious agreement.

Its anti-Western because it leaves out China and Russia...reading that theory makes a lot more sense now.

Any PR victory Moscow can prop against the US hegemony is a win to them.

This is straight out of the Cold War PR battle.

How should TTP cover Russia or China? It's not about Russia or China. It's still important and it's good that they released it. For every citizen that may suffer from that.

Your comments looks like straight out of the Cold War PR battle.

I'm pretty sure TPP doesn't involve China at all, or even Russia for that matter.

There are also a theories, in the very same sub, that drinking is own urine is better the chemotherapy [0], that China has floating cities in parallel universe [1] and that Ahmed Mohammed is a "clock bomb hoaxer" [2].

I live in the west.

If I was going to be a whisteblower, or a leaker of state and corporate secrets I would do it for my own country and the countries it was allied with.

What is so difficult to understand about that?

There's a theory that you're a * purple snuffleupagus

So...you are CIA then?
