The United States intelligence community doesn’t have a perfect track record. It has been wrong and has lied on numerous occasions, particularly when it comes to the supposed weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Ditto for Hillary Clinton, who is a chronic liar (SEE: Hillary Clinton tells another lie: ‘I was in New York City on 9/11’).
Yet, for whatever reason, the left, which had condemned intelligence agencies for said WMDs, are fully believing the Washington elite and Clinton. This is apparent when it comes to the WikiLeaks saga and claims that the government transparency organization is receiving leaks from the Russian government and their hackers.
Speaking in an interview with Russia Today, Julian Assange confirmed that WikiLeaks’s Clinton emails did not come from the Russian government. Instead, Assange argued, the former Secretary of State and her allies have been working day and night to “project a neo-McCarthyist hysteria that Russia is responsible for everything.”
“Hillary Clinton has stated multiple times, falsely, that 17 US intelligence agencies had assessed that Russia is the source of our publications,” the editor and publisher said. “That’s false; we can say that the Russian government is not our source.”
Instead of showcasing anger and hostility, Assange extended an arm of sympathy for Clinton.
“Hillary Clinton is just one person. I actually feel quite sorry for Hillary Clinton as a person because I see someone who is eaten alive by their ambitions, tormented literally to the point where they become sick – for example, faint – as a result of going on, and going with their ambitions,” Assange stated. “But she represents a whole network of people, and a whole network of relationships with particular states.”
Rather than talking about the contents of the emails, the mainstream media and the Clinton camp have just been repeating the claim that the documents have been backed by the Kremlin and Vladimir Putin. Is it the Cold War all over again?
The full interview will be released on Nov. 5. Here is a preview of the interview embedded below:
