"I believe in facts about conspiracies," he {Julian Assage of Wikileaks} says, choosing his words slowly. "Any time people with power plan in secret, they are conducting a conspiracy. So there are conspiracies everywhere. There are also crazed conspiracy theories. It's important not to confuse these two. Generally, when there's enough facts about a conspiracy we simply call this news." What about 9/11? "I'm constantly annoyed that people are distracted by false conspiracies such as 9/11, when all around we provide evidence of real conspiracies, for war or mass financial fraud." {more}
So what's really going on here with Julian? You might think having the scoop of the century about the secrets of 9/11 would be the ultimate Wikileaks goal. Or is there something deeper and possibly sinister in store for whistleblowers who could be ready to talk or release verifiable information? Is Wikileaks a limited hangout or even worse, a trap? Or is Assange just trying to keep himself safe by calling 9/11 a 'false conspiracy?'
He never stays in one place more than two nights. Is that because the CIA wants to kill him? "Is it in the CIA's interest to assassinate me? Maybe. But who would do it?" Isn't he brave to appear in public? "Courage is an intellectual mastery of fear," he says. "It's not that you don't have fear, you just manage your risks intelligently."
