Wikileaks is a Front for Russian Intelligence

August 31, 2015
The
part played by Wikileaks in the Edward Snowden saga is an important
one. The pivotal role of Julian Assange and other leading members of
Wikileaks in getting Snowden from Hawaii to Moscow, from NSA employment
to FSB protection, in the late spring of 2013 is a matter of record.

For
years there have been questions about just what Wikileaks actually is. I
know because I’ve been among those asking. Over two years ago, little
more than two weeks after Snowden landed in Moscow, I
explained my concerns
about Wikileaks based on my background in counterintelligence.
Specifically, the role of the Russian anti-Semite weirdo Israel Shamir, a
close friend of Assange, in the Wikileaks circle merited attention, and
to anyone trained in the right clues, the Assange group gave the
impression of having a relationship with Russian intelligence. As I
summed up my position in July 2013, based on what we knew so far:

It’s
especially important given the fact that Wikileaks is playing a leading
role in the Snowden case, to the dismay of some of Ed’s admirers and
even members of his family. Not to mention that Snowden, as of this
writing, is still in Moscow. One need not be a counterintelligence guru
to have serious questions about Shamir and Wikileaks here. It may be a
much bigger part of the story than it appears to the naked eye.
