People intrinsically know there are secrets being held from us. Look at WikiLeaks: There are secrets that are really true to the world.
The first serious infowar is now engaged. The field of battle is WikiLeaks. You are the troops.
It is impossible to correct abuses unless we know that theyre going on.
I can use my credit card to send money to the Ku Klux Klan, to antiabortion fanatics, or to anti-homosexual bigots, but I can't use it to send money to WikiLeaks. The New York Times published the same documents. Should we tell Visa and MasterCard to stop payments to the Times?
WikiLeaks is the 911 of diplomacy.
WikiLeaks serves as a back-up for those who want to tell the truth about the inner workings of government when the mainstream media is not willing or taking too long to publish.
[WikiLeaks] are covering somebody that I never saw before, that [Hillary Clinton] knows terrorists are trying to infiltrate the refugee program. So you have terrorists coming in, she knows they're coming in, and yet she wants to increase it.
There is also evidence that the people close - that people close to the [Donald] Trump campaign had advanced notice of WikiLeaks actions and may have had direct contact with WikiLeaks itself while they were releasing those documents from the Democratic Party, from the [Hillary] Clinton campaign.
Let's say that, personally, I loved Hillary Clinton. Would WikiLeaks still publish this material? Of course it would. Otherwise, we would be censoring it. That's our mandate. It's actually interesting to think about what media organizations wouldn't publish such material if it was given to them.
Let's face it: WikiLeaks exists because the mainstream media haven't done their job.
WikiLeaks is what happens when the entire US government is forced to go through a full-body scanner.
The WikiLeaks documents show how the media conspires and collaborates with the Clinton campaign including giving the questions and answers to Hillary Clinton before the debate.
Most other documents leaked to WikiLeaks do not carry the same explosive potential as candid cables written by American diplomats.
There's a huge amount of footage of Julian [ Assange] online, but he's usually in presentation or defending mode, talking about his cause, or the revelations which Wikileaks have brought about. There's none of Assange relaxing or in private mode. There's none of the personality I tried to give him behind closed doors [in The Fifth Estate ].
Has WikiLeaks been forced to do one thing rather than another in response to resource constraints? Yes. Constantly.
I never made any reference to John Podesta's email. Does it say #WikiLeaks, #Assange? Julian Assange said, Stone predicted that his emails would be hacked. No, I didn't. I never said anything of the kind.
WikiLeaks is designed to make capitalism more free and ethical.
Wikileaks didn't help confidence with American administrations because of conversations made public so easily.
Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder, has on several occasions talked about transparency as an absolute principle. I don't personally believe that.
It's not coincidence that these attacks come at the exact same moment, and all together at the same time as WikiLeaks releases documents exposing the massive international corruption of the [Hillary] Clinton machine.
