WikiLeaks: Anonymity is Imperative

international / mass media / commentary

The Aussie founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, is now paying the price for breaking a cardinal rule of all digital warriors, ANONYMITY!

According to a questionable report from the The Daily Beast, Assange is facing an internal revolt by some members of the WikiLeaks group. It is clear from the report that internal ego wars are responsible for the latest attacks on its founder. In a very amateurish action, one female associate has gone public via the alternative media and stated that ‘she believes’ Assange to be an Aussie chauvinist – well, as the ‘American,’ actor Clint Eastwood, once said, ‘opinions are like arseholes, everybody has one!’

She also believes that Assange should step aside as the public voice of WikiLeaks until smear allegations are dealt with by the Swedish Courts; however, it seems more likely -- as going public with internal matters would indicate -- that she craves some of the media attention that Assange is unwisely attracting.

Internal squabbling notwithstanding, the latest WikiLeaks leaks are sure making the Pentagon and CIA happy, Ms ‘paris hilton’ Jonsdottir!

Surely the bigger picture requires us to weigh the value of WikiLeaks to the public against the overjoyed CIA reaction to Ms ‘i want my turn in the sun!’

The lesson here is clear, adhere to the hacker code of ‘Anonymity is Power,’ and keep to the primary objective of exposing the criminals and subverting criminal States; resolve your differences in private and never show anything to the world except a united front.

We are ONE or we are nothing.

O, and Ms Jonsdottir, you may also find this article interesting, it was written by another ‘chauvinistic’ Australian; a prelude perhaps, it states -- for the first time -- how in the digital age a new warrior has emerged, one that is capable of subverting an entire Nation/State. Yes, the mindset behind such creative thought is indeed, Australian – deal with it!

A final note to Julian and the core team, learn and get back to work.

Peace.
