"Wikileaks Task Force" slanders journalist now critical of Wikileaks. Accused journalist debunks claims. Fountain of popcorn plugged when /r/wikileaks mods intervene with 999-day ban

There is a lot of context to unwrap, here’s an attempt to unwrap some of it:

Barrett Brown is a journalist who covered Anonymous and the hacking of think tank Stratfor, and revealed their anti-Wikileaks plotting, and went to jail for charges related to the coverage. Since getting out of prison, he’s been disgusted with the pro-Trump activities of wikileaks and a fierce critic of their rhetoric.

The Intercept is a publication started by Glenn Greenwald (Snowden reporter) and ex-PayPal billionaire Pierre Omidyar, and ever since Greenwald committed the crime of posting criticism of Wikileaks, Wikileaks defenders have been trying to discredit Greenwald. Omidyar no longer has financial ties with PayPal, Assange from trying to link it to PayPal’s financial blockade of donations to Wikileaks.

Assange has recently been cherry-picking evidence and framing narratives to cater to an increasingly insane audience of paranoic loyalists to their cause, whatever it may be now.
