4. The saddest part is: Wikileaks used to be a good organization and then turned evil.

At the beginning, they at least tried to be neutral. They fucked up lots of times (e.g. putting people into mortal danger by exposing sensitive secrets) but at least they tried to do good.

And then 2016 came and Wikileaks decided to take down the evil, evil Neocon Hillary Clinton. Not kidding, Wikileaks removed people from other projects and reassigned them to this one goal. Hillary Clinton was the enemy. And if you have watched old interviews with Assange, you can see that he hates HRC with a vengeance. Wikileaks didn't care who would win in 2016 as long as HRC would lose.

And all of a sudden Wikileaks gets hacked DNC-emails from a russian hacker.
And all of a sudden Wikileaks offers cooperation to Trump Jr. to launch a false-flag leak to fool the public into believing that Wikileaks is against Trump.
And all of a sudden Assange is offering dirt on democratic Senator Warner to Sean Hannity.
And all of a sudden Wikileaks is working with the notorious republican scumbag Roger Stone.
