Is this an Onion followup to the nervous man Trump pic? Bravo if so.
 
I wonder how they're going to spin this.

Like, they've been peddling Assange's 'devastating' leak.

how are they going to spin this. Like literally how.

I expect it to be a bit like when a cult pronounces doomsday for a specific date...and then nothing happens. A new date will emerge and the cycle will repeat for whatever gullible people hang on for the ride.
 
What an absolute joke.

I'm among those who had lots of respect for the WikiLeak project initially, and I still believe they did some important work early on.

Years and years of isolation has clearly taken its toll on Assange. It's sad to see a fundamentally politically independent project about releasing important information about abuse of human rights etc, degenerate into a dumb personal political vendetta, cynical electioneering on behalf of a white supremacist presidential candidate, mixed with a sad and severe need for personal attention, while applauded, if not even directly funded and aided, by the hawks in Moscow :(

Assange clearly no longer wants anything constructive to come from his project, it's all about revenge and "watching the world burn" at this point.
 
Well Assange had his big Hillary killer press event. Spoilers

Parade of women to defend him
They are now selling Wikileaks Gold Memberships
He promises tons more leaks before the end of the year, he really does. Pinkie swear
Also buy his new book

This was actually an accurate summary
 
Maybe next time the right wing press will remember all the other times Assange tweeted that they were going to release a bombshell and then had nothing or next to nothing.

I'm guessing not though.

This was clearly only ever just a publicity stunt. Clear as day. The only way you couldn't see that is if you wanted it to be real really really badly.
 
I hope Hillary pardons him when she becomes president for the sole purpose of sending the alt-right down an even deeper conspiracy rabbit-hole.

Cause it would be funny to watch.



I thought it was too

Doubtful. That's some shit Roger Stone pushed and only he has been saying.

I had just thought it was going to be Wednesday morning GMT, not Tuesday.

When I dug into the "announcement" I had already found that Assange himself had said nothing about an October surprise and assumed it was just Stone and Alex Jones getting frothy prematurely.

I know exactly how you feel.

Early Wikileaks was doing a monumental service to the public. The current one is well beyond repair. It's time to burn it down and let someone else take their place.
 
Assange just trolled the Internet.

What an absolute joke.

Well stated. Wikileaks now does more harm than good. It's a shame.

Same. How and when they got corrupted by Russia I'd be interested in finding out.

There is definitely a need for an organisation that publishes everyone's dirty little (not so little) secrets. Wikileaks is so partisan now its complete lost any credibility it once had.
 
So Wikileaks is corrupted by Russia, and Trump is obviously a friend of Russia. Wikileaks is run by Trump?

Thanks, I will let myself out the door.

Yeah it's just sad now. The tiny bit of credibility they have is used by people *cough*Russia*cough* as a quick way to publish their latest attack and they go with it because they've got nothing else.

Bravo. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. What started out as one of the most powerful explosions and reforms inside of US politics of all time, has ended in a Trump mouthpiece fueled by Moscow. I don't even know that it's revenge against anyone as much as he has no real leaks left anymore except for Russian hackers who are likely "motivated" by a Trump presidency.
 
What the fucking hell is this? Vitamins that "focuses directly on brain health, nerve growth factors and optimizing your cellular energy"....

Is it actually possible for people to be so incredibly stupid that they fall for this bullshit?

Clearly, you've never visited Above Top Secret.
 
The infowars video is insane. "We been hijacked by a global consorsheeum." Dude at 23 minutes-ish....wtf...
Talking about how Assange's bombshell will be so big that "they'll fake a white cop shooting a black guy," to distract?
Man...wtf...wtf...wtf...


I love that they were so stoked and so trolled.

Add to that the genuine damage it does to the causes for transparency as a counter to corruption.
 
No, it was supposed to be today.

well apparently it's coming!

“We hope to be publishing every week for the next 10 weeks, we have on schedule, and it’s a very hard schedule, all the U.S. election-related documents to come out before Nov. 8,” said Mr. Assange

but it's ok

He dismissed speculation that the documents related to the United States election would contain information intended to damage the candidacy of Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee. The idea that “we intend to harm Hillary Clinton, or I intend to harm Hillary Clinton, or I don’t like Hillary Clinton, all those are false,” Mr. Assange said.

even though

Assange had told Fox News in an interview conducted by satellite in August that the group would release significant information related to Clinton's campaign.
 
So apparently the guy who unquestioningly publishes material given to him by state-sponsored Russian hackers to try and sway a US election is railing against "neo-McCarthyist hysteria."

Cute.
 
What an absolute joke.

It's always been about watching the world burn, unless you don't (or didn't) agree with his stance.
