Assange and WikiLeak's descent into Anti-Semitism Here's What WikiLeaks Might Have Meant by That Anti-Semitic Tweet It Deleted
http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2016/07/25/what_wikileaks_might_have_meant_by_that_anti_semitic_tweet.html WikiLeaks has had a big few days. On Friday, Julian Assange's organization released about 20,000 emails from the Democratic National Committee, embarrassing the group to the point that chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz was forced to resign. Hillary Clinton's campaign has blamed Russia for the leak, which they said was done for the benefit of Donald Trump. Perhaps lost in the brouhaha, though, was the fact that over the weekend WikiLeaks--an organization that claims to be devoted to radical transparency--sent out an anti-Semitic tweet and then deleted it. - - - Which fits in perfectly with Assange attempting to get a fascist, racist like Trump elected, and threatening more releases to try throw the USA election Russia's way. Assange can now be accurately relegated to the same garbage heap as Trump, the KKK, and other neo-Nazi white supremacists. Thanks for making your position even more crystal clear, Julian. --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently doing so -- my opinions expressed here are mine alone. _______________________________________________ pfir mailing list http://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
