anime was right posted:iirc there was a canary that assange set up to tell if it's been compromised and it was compromised according to that soooo assange himself has been pretty personally suspect for years given that he was on the RT payroll for awhile i think he genuinely wants to ~undermine the evil dominant world order and uncover the deep state secrets~ but he basically partnered with lucifer to undermine satan, or something, i dunno if that makes sense i dont read the drat bible but yeah, in short, there have been a ton of red flags
