'WikiLeaks now a 'bombshell factory', too much into PR'

The Pentagon fears classified documents due to be released by WikiLeaks may be even more damaging than those that had been published before. The U.S. military says it knows the nature of the additional 15,000 documents that the website has pledged to disclose. Last month, it published over 90,000 documents, creating a stir both with the public and U.S. defence officials. RT gets more insight from John Young, a former WikiLeaks advisory board member.

The corporate mainstream media will soon "report" WikiLeaks as a "terrorist" organization that has been confirmed to have some kind of "WMD" called the Internet.

The chap says WikiLeaks is spending too much time promoting itself with bombshell releases and is neglecting the task of releasing documents the worlds needs to see.

Documents continue to be released daily even as Assange remains in police custody in the UK. The site is not publishing as much because they have people now working on making it more secure to make it even more difficult to determine the sources.

He also says that WikiLeaks SELLS stolen information. IT DOES NOT. It's a nonprofit.

@PandemicMadness How can anyone with an anti US agenda be a wanker?

(interview with John Young starts 6:00 mins)

This is the best, most unbiased discussion I've found on youtube yet re: Wikileaks. Young does not accuse anyone individually, does not claim to know all details, just points out the black market information enterprise. Excellent points raised re: Assange's role at 3:52 : Assange is diverting attention. What is Assange up to? He seems to be evolving into a political figure in Iceland: IMMI, Kaupthing exposee. What is he up to?

As usual, terrible interviewing from RT. Notice the leading questions such as "how relevant is this?", "Is this just a big PR machine?" etc. It tries very hard to discredit its sources and elludes to the fact that it is involved with an underground economy, conspiracy. It even tries to divert attention by focusing on the founder himself. This is appaulling journalism.

assange is a wanker with an anti-US agenda. This is not an innocent leak of information for the sake of "transparency".
