That's it. Fuck you Julian Assange.

4. After the Moscow files were shunted it became clear Wikileaks is an arm of Russian intelligence.

Of course, the clue was when LulzSec got raided and the entire group of Anonymous hackers (hactivists) was arrested, and Wikileaks promised support but then quietly forget about them. Those guys were going after everyone, and if you were Wikileaks and supported them, that means that your master state could be threatened, can't have that.

Mind you, what LulzSec did was extremely bad, they were responsible for many really terrible leaks and they were relentless with their targets (at the time it was almost mythical how they hacked). But LulzSec comprised the "ethos" of Wikileaks. Full transparency, everything gets leaked, leak it all.

And to allow that to continue to happen with their master state potentially at risk was too much.

Mind you I don't suspect collusion, it's more ideological in my observation than it is infiltration, but it would not surprise me if Wikileak's inner circle has Russian (and even US) moles.
