On Assange's Arrest - First they came for the.......

[Peter Lemkin]

Is there any truth to the theory that Assange is just a phony outlet for planted intelligence agency "information" (disinformation)?

That was the role of Lyndon LaRouche from the 1970's to the 1980's. It just seems improbable that Assange could have been living the exotic, one-of-a-kind, never-before-seen extreme lifestyle just based entirely on his own personal initiative.

All of this Assange "circus" IMHO smacks of a stage-managed operation which had to have been employing resources beyond the means of this ostensibly penniless, homeless pathetic individual.

In other words, have we been looking at, not Assange, but Assange, Incorporated?

I see no evidence that J. Assange has led an 'extreme' lifestyle. It has not been the norm, but many hacker types and others live less-than-humdrum lives. Wikileaks was never a one man operation and I personally know a few persons who were at one time associated with it - and I suspect them not at all of anything other than the desire to expose government and corporate and uber-rich wrongdoing if it was provided to them via the Wikileaks model. The sexual investigations in Sweden were a set up I know about, but too complex to detail here. It was a first attempt by US intelligence to 'get Assange', so it is hard for me to believe they are both giving him info or disinfo and then trying to take him down [as they are now]. All that said, Assange may have been used without his knowledge by one or more entities or intelligence agencies. I'm not sure, but there are some indications of this. However, given his model for Wikileaks, he was not soliciting, but accepting and then distributing [usually along with normal media channels] what came their way. I can see countries and political systems his 'leaks' went heavily against; and other countries and political systems that were hardly or not mentioned - some because they are not large or important; others that are large and important and noticably [suspiciously?] absent? I think his seeking refuge in the embassy of Ecuador was out of real fear of the USA - and he was clearly betrayed by the new US-friendly right-wing President. The full story of Assange and Wikileaks, I think, will not come out for a long time - but I don't have the suspicions mentioned above, unless he was used against his own wishes. I'm sure he has his own political views and I can even see what some of them are - but I don't see him as an 'agent' - only as a renegade journalist who will be lucky to not spend the rest of his life in prison...... Read his book or the few books about him and Wikileaks.
