22. He's in character at the moment, playing the part of the disappointed Obama supporter

but apparently he's a former male model, read actor, so I suspect his entire backstory including you-know-who is a lot of baloney. I seriously doubt if he knows much more than what he's been coached to say, which is basically Manning was coached to say, and exactly what fake-left luminaries like Hedges say every chance they get:

“I pointed out where the NSA has hacked civilian infrastructure such as universities, hospitals and private businesses because it is dangerous,” he wrote in the online Q&A, adding that part of what motivated him to leak the details was his disillusionment with Obama’s failure to live up to some of his 2008 campaign promises.

“Obama’s campaign promises and election gave me faith that he would lead us toward fixing the problems he outlined in his quest for votes. Many Americans felt similarly,” he said. “Unfortunately, shortly after assuming power, he closed the door on investigating systemic violations of law, deepened and expanded several abusive programs, and refused to spend the political capital to end the kind of human rights violations like we see in Guantanamo, where men still sit without charge.”

Let's see, Paul supporter Snowden was disillusioned by Obama's "human rights violations" at Guantanamo so he slipped classified US intel to the Guardian to splash around the world at politically embarrassing moments like the G8?



Heck yeah, I believe that, you betcha!

Wikileaks released the "hacked" CRU emails, a deed Assange proudly takes credit for here: ucrdem Jun 2013 #26
The climate change deniers are clear that Wikileaks just took a copy after a couple of days muriel_volestrangler Jun 2013 #27
You're calling Assange a bald-face liar? ucrdem Jun 2013 #28

I suppose it's an occupational hazard that can't be unknown to the players ucrdem Jun 2013 #5
This is called synchronicity. A psychological apparition. Gravitycollapse Jun 2013 #6
And that is called coincidence theory, but you're entitled to it. ucrdem Jun 2013 #7
