(62,325 posts)to release devastating information on BOA when it became imperative to shut them down.
The Stratfor leaks by Anonymous, showed the desperation to hide what Wikileaks was about to reveal.
Contract bids to SMEAR everyone, bloggers, Liberal Orgs, all those who were asking questions, Glenn Greenwald was a blogger at the time, but his relentless pursuit of the facts, his support for Whistle Blowers, put him on the radar of Stratfor.
It is CHILLING to learn how even WE who were simply discussing the events at the time, were potential targets of these contracted smear campaigns.
Assange of course was the main target.
He actually had PROOF, documents, something he revealed in an interview just one month prior to the phony smear campaign against him began.
In fact, Wikileaks had posted a CIA document (leak) where 'how to get him' was discussed. They settled on a 'sex scandal' hoping to turn the 'Left' against him.
But it hasn't worked. All that money spent and they couldn't convince people that HE was the 'bad guy'.
Great post Octafish, it should be an OP on its own.
