Get a gig with a Russian media outlet, again... See if Roger Stone has any work for him to do? See if GRU has any more deliveries it needs him to make?

Wikileaks had no "gig" with Russia Today. They produced the series tthemselves and it was picked up by various news channels - just not any mainstream Western ones (what a shock)



According to the article you link which was posted before the series aired, but not according to IMDB or Wikipedia which anybody could have edited with sources in the 12 years since:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2223847/fullcredits

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Tomorrow

(Or if you actually have a real source for "RT funded it" then you should update Wikipedia and IMDB)


A real source? Reuters is one of the world's premier news agencies, and the piece literally has RT crowing about funding the production.

Never ceases to amaze me the hoops that Assange cult members will jump through to deny inconvenient facts about their hero.

Can only imagine what you come up with to justify Assange's pathetic insinuations about Seth Rich and his blatant anti-Semitism.


You could retreat into invective or you could point me to a better source than an article that came out before the show even aired. Assange has enough fuming and frustrated detractors that a verifiable source saying his show was funded by RT would have made it into the Wikipedia and IMDB pages a decade ago.


What a bunch of whataboutism horseshit.

I edited the first event press mention of WikiLeaks at Wired.

I covered the early Guantanamo leaks and the Iraqi Apache attack.

I've interviewed Assange, likely before you ever heard of him.

I broke the story that wikileaks' submission system broke and its SSL failed, the first external sign of the internal dissent where its tech lead literally made off with the server because he didn't trust Assange.

I pointed you to an extremely reputable source showing what everyone knew at the time, which is that a Putin controlled media outlet paid for and claimed credit for funding his "talk show."

His Russian connections after that were perfectly clear, including routing Snowden through Russia and later being the handmaiden of GRU in the DNC leaks.

Keep putting your head in the sand with dumbass arguments like it's not in IMDb.

It's a fine line between being a fanboy and being complicit and it's pretty clear which side of that line you're on now.


Lol. If you weren't just repeating bullshit, why isn't information about the Assange series being funded by RT reflected on these sites? You have given me a line in an article that came out before the series aired, got upset and now... you have decided to list your "credentials"...

Ahem... hrm...

Edit: Haha is that you editing the Wikipedia page?

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=World_Tomorrow&di...


Just took your suggestion to edit Wikipedia with a reputable source. I guess it's true now since it's in Wikipedia.

Enjoy your cult of personality.


Amazing. I have never witnessed anything so pathetic, or such a level of projection. Thanks for exhibiting that buddy, it was quite a show.


oh how his fans are going to get an awful taste in their mouth when they realize which side he is on


Yeah I was gonna say, there's all sorts of media opportunities on the right for him. He will be fine.
