Assange says ‘weak’ French intelligence bowed to US after spying leaks
France is a weakened country that relies too heavily on its subservient intelligence relationship with the United States and the United Kingdom, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange told French radio on Friday. Speaking to France Inter radio from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London where he has been holed up for nearly four years, Assange was asked if he was disappointed that France had refused to grant him political asylum last year.

WikiLeaks Accuses Facebook of Censorship in Hillary Clinton Email Release
The Hillary Clinton email scandal was revived once again in the news this week, thanks to WikiLeaks’ release Wednesday of a searchable archive of 30,322 emails pulled from a private account she used during her tenure as secretary of state. Two days later, WikiLeaks called Facebook on the carpet for allegedly blocking users’ access via the social network to WikiLeaks’ latest Clinton dispatch. If WikiLeaks’ charge is valid, the tech behemoth that Mark Zuckerberg built could...

Wikileaks, the DNC Hack, and the "Lone Wolf" Guccifer
Searched quickly using the terms "DNC", "Trump", "wikileaks", and "Guccifer", and didn't find a local discussion happening. What is important is the fact that wikileaks did put forward a tweet for torrent for their next release, an 88 gig encrypted fun bag. So this is kind of a dump of different links to bring people up to speed on this, if they only saw news about the Trump opposition research, or just put it off as more email fluff news. And to think, this was all spurred by a random comment about the US elections being an entertaining side show.

Whether Or Not Russians Hacked DNC Means Nothing Concerning How Newsworthy The Details Are
As you almost certainly know by now, on Friday Wikileaks released a bunch of hacked DNC emails just before the Democratic Presidential convention kicked off. While Wikileaks hasn't quite said where it got the emails, speculation among many quickly pointed to Russian state sponsored hackers. That's because of the revelation last month of two sets of hackers breaching the DNC's computer system and swiping (at the very least) opposition research on Donald Trump.

The DNC Hack Is Watergate—but Much Worse
A foreign government has hacked a political party’s computers—and possibly an election. It has stolen documents and timed their release to explode with maximum damage. It is a strike against our civic infrastructure. And though nobody died—and there was no economic toll exacted—the Russians were aiming for a tender spot, a central node of our democracy. It was hard to see the perniciousness of this attack at first, especially given how news media initially covered the story. The Russians, after all, didn’t knock out a power grid.
