Ooooo...I missed a great convo <3 @v4vapid You must've missed my original WL and JA post when I first appeared on this amazing platform :') <3 Otherwise we surely would have had this debate already :') <3
What has come out in our discussions is that we both are not dogmatic in our opinions and open to possibilities.
I love this. Being dogmatic and having a belief in something, is putting a cage around it and defends it even in the face of valid, new information.
This is why I love Steemit.
I would like to address one point here though @v4vapid---->
Of course, we know that Assange has had an intensive and sustained smear campaign mounted against him for years.
An interesting and valid question in response to this from my end, would be;
Why then, During this mass smearing campaign, Has his connection to 'The Family" never been mentioned on MSM?
I worked closely with JA and his crew during the Elections when the Wikileaks party ran for senate here, in Western Australia, as I was the Volunteer coordinator for the party for a majority of the campaign....
And Looking back now...It has always seemed strange to me that for such an explicitly transparent foundation [Wikileaks], the 'leader' of this foundation lacks any real sense of transparency in his life.....
Anyways, Food for thought <3
Love your work @SteemTruth <3
Hey @AncientMystique, I didn't know that you worked closely with Assange, that's quite interesting.
So, to your point about the MSM not smearing Assange with his connection to 'The Family' I can't speak for the MSM, but there could be a number of reasons.
I think we need more transparency in government and many of societies institutions. Wikileaks is all about keeping governments honest and accountable. We should have transparency from our government officials and all governmental affairs, but of course we don't. The free press is suppose to be the 4th estate of government but they are own and easily controlled with advertising dollars.
Do we need to know all of the personal details of everyone that works at Wikileaks?
Transparency in how they operate is perhaps more important than knowing (and scrutinizing) the personal lives of the Wikileaks staff.
I think there's a substantial amount of transparency from Wikileaks as they release raw (sometimes redacted) government documents.
Anyways, much respect AM let's keep an open dialogue and open mind on the topic
:) I am full of surprises.
So I think you are right in your guesses re: MSM and smearing JA with the family mess....
However that whole situation is also directly representative of MKultra programs run by the CIA in both Australia and the USA-And in fact when Anne was arrested, she was arrested on one of her numerous properties in the USA and it took the UK, Australia and the US to all work together to find her.....All 3 countries wrought with pedocriminilism.......Where did all of her money come from???
I totally agree with your point about valid information being released by WL's-However don't you think, looking back, that all of the info they have released has had very interesting timing politically?
I don't disagree with the fact they release good information....I question Intention though.....Intention is everything. And if we are being spooned information, I would very much like to know the answer as to why and who stands to gain.
I think transparency says something about a person. In fact, it says a lot about a person. Especially when they KNEW they were going to be in the public eye, doing this work.
I don't debate the transparency of Wikileaks, as a whole, although I must admit, I have come across some very interesting info suggesting that they are funded by some people that we might all have something to say about....
Mostly Mossad....
As for your last comment-I love learning and moving forward. New information is like music to a musicians ears, to me. I love asking questions and hopefully getting answers <3 I love this platform and I am so happy I can have these respectable debates and sharing of opinions here, without judgement or fear of retaliation. <3
SteemOn and BeBrave <3
