In my opinion Assange and Wikileaks for the most part has been an MSM-promoted limited hangout.
Really there is very little they ever released that lots of people didn't already realize (i.e.; people getting sniped in Iraq with hi tech, etc) I remember lots of discussion on forums when Wikileaks came on the scene and we were all laughing because everything he was 'leaking' was really no surprise to anyone paying attention, it was just 'new' to the mainstream narrative.
One big thing that I can't shake is how he never talks about 9/11 in fact he totally ignores it:
"I'm constantly annoyed that people are distracted by false conspiracies such as 9/11, when all around we provide evidence of real conspiracies, for war or mass financial fraud."
That's just crazy Imo, another well-spoken intelligent and informed personality (like Noam Chomsky, Galloway etc) who is made out to be some intellectual champion but totally caves and avoids 9/11 to the point of void absurdity. A huge topic to discuss from all kinds of fascinating angles and they all just STFU, get red and change the subject.
Other critics say he has a track record for never leaking anything substantial about Israel or their dealings in spy tech, nuclear tech, or lobby influence in the US.
Remember that 'Vault 7' hype? the MSM fucking counted that down like a New Years Eve drop and got the whole world hyped that this was going to expose everything, lol. I kept my eye on that believe me and do you remember a single memorable thing?
The MSM make a big deal about him, sort of making him the perceived leader of the alt media/whistleblower voice of the people etc. But he rarely says shit, and shuts the fuck up completely on certain topics that whatever ones opinion deserve a bit more respect imo
I think if someone like Assange was REALLY a major whistleblower and threat to any great powers, he certainly wouldn't be made into the celebrity that he is, all over front page newspapers all over the world etc. Since when did the MSM ever do any real whistleblowing on the powers that be? (except for nowadays w/ Trump lol)
The best thing I remember from Assange in a long time was his implication of Seth Rich, that was pretty cool but coming from Assange I wonder now, that was kind of a weird slip from Assange I remember.
As for Assange being dead and a clone or fake, etc... it sounds crazy but things like this kinda freaked me the fuck out lol:
