Assange Not a Whistleblower

Submitted by Anonyme on Fri, 2012-06-22 19:08.

A whistleblower is someone who sees corruption first-hand and reports it, but Assange relays information from unrevealed sources, often without verification. Assange should not be classified as a whistleblower. The international nature of his surrounding network, its fusion with intelligence/propaganda networks, and his history with cult involvement is the problem. Nor can he legitimately call his information 'Truth' because it is not verified. There are many signs that he is a puppet of some sort of political intelligence/propaganda ploy by his controllers. And we need to find out who those controllers are.
