Wikileak's Sarah Harrison, Snowden asylum assistant now in exile

159. This is a whole lot of verbage to fail to answer a simple question.

Despite your bloviating, the stories you yourself linked to as some sort of proof of even-handedness appear never to have materialized, unless you know better and can supply the links I asked for. You pointed to those links as some sort of proof that Wikileaks was working with journalists on stories about Russian corruption. Were those journalists "shut down", too? You made the claim, I didn't. I asked you about it. The burden of proof is on you, so don't bother trying to deflect.

Indeed, has Wikileaks in fact been "shut down" since 2010, as you claim? A quick check of Wikipedia says that it hasn't, and you're wrong about that:

2011–12

Main articles: Guantanamo Bay files leak, Global Intelligence Files leak, and Syria Files

In late April 2011, files related to the Guantanamo prison were released.[167] In December 2011, WikiLeaks started to release the Spy Files.[168] On 27 February 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing more than five million emails from the Texas-headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor.[169]

On 5 July 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing the Syria Files, more than two million emails from Syrian political figures, ministries and associated companies, dating from August 2006 to March 2012.[170]

On Thursday, 25 October 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Detainee Policies, more than 100 classified or otherwise restricted files from the United States Department of Defense covering the rules and procedures for detainees in U.S. military custody.[171]

2013

On April 8, 2013, WikiLeaks published more than 1.7 million U.S. diplomatic and intelligence documents from the 1970s. These documents included the Kissinger cables.[172]

On 5 September 2013 Dagens Næringsliv said that Wikileaks, on the previous evening, had published on its website "the whereabouts of 20 chiefs of European surveillance technology companies, during the last year".[173] This was part of Wikileaks Spy Files 3 project, which was a release of close to[173] 250 documents from more than 90 surveillance companies.

Judging by that, Wikileaks doesn't sound too "shut down" to me, so why do you claim something that's demonstrably untrue? Did you just not know?

I didn't "latch on" to anything. It's a valid question. One you've failed to answer satisfactorily, yet again, despite the squid cloud of words above.

As for continuing this conversation, if all you're going to do in response to a simple question is overreact and try to obfuscate, then save your energy, as it's not convincing.
