Reply #12: when you understand his goal

[northernlights]

then you understand why and what he leaks, and why he tends to go for the limelight. And it's not just the American shadow government he's after. And it turns out the nature of the contact doesn't matter. It's just one critical fact about the content. Insurance may well turn out to be content-free -- but it's title is enough to scare the fuck out of his targets and intrigue the rest of us.

For the record, it's not about attention, it's not about ego. He does have a plan, he's made it public and it is very clear. It's also very, very funny the way the governments (not just our government, all of them) are doing *exactly* as he expected. They simply can't help themselves. To me, it's not unlike W leading us down a path of self-destruction by rubbing our noses in fear of bin Laden every 3 seconds. Only now, Assange is the pied piper, leading the shadow-governments down a path of self-destruction by preying on their biggest fears...

I can't wait for him to go after the big bank, or banks, in January. Glad I don't have any of my money in any big bank. If I did, I'd get it out by the end of the year. Same with bank stocks. If I were a gambler, I'd be shorting them by the end of the year. Someone will be taking a hit.
