How to keep DUmbasses in a tizzy

[dandi]

Imply that the person exposing "conspiracies" is himself part of a larger conspiracy.

Zbigniew Brzezinski spreading paranoid conspiracy theories about Wikileaks
 http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/government_programs/july...

ZBIGNIEW BRZEZINSKI: It's not a question of worry. It's, rather, a question of whether WikiLeaks are being manipulated by interested parties that want to either complicate our relationship with other governments or want to undermine some governments, because some of these items that are being emphasized and have surfaced are very pointed.

And I wonder whether, in fact, there aren't some operations internationally, intelligence services, that are feeding stuff to WikiLeaks, because it is a unique opportunity to embarrass us, to embarrass our position, but also to undermine our relations with particular governments.

For example, leaving aside the personal gossip about Sarkozy or Berlusconi or Putin, the business about the Turks is clearly calculated in terms of its potential impact on disrupting the American-Turkish relationship...

I think it is a point worth considering. It is bound, though, to create a feedback loop in what's left of the Hive's brains to finish frying them.

 OK, so, internet dude who says "The government wants to keep these secrets because it's all owned by corporations!" = NOT Paranoid.

Senior, brilliant diplomat suggesting that there might be some vested interest in leaking specific information = Paranoid.

DU just reached a new low for stupidity.

I'll tell you what: when GOPers are pointing to the Iran information that got out and yelling for war with Iran on the floor of Congress, we'll see just how "unmanipulated" Mr. Assange has been. We already have Netanyahu trumpeting the leaks to the ceiling on this very issue.

What will the Assange Cult say when the Wikileaks actually enables a military action on Iran? I wonder.

By the way, Brzezinski's being nice. He could have said that Mr. Assange himself is acting as an agent for interested government agencies, which is probably closer to the truth than that he's an innocent lamb being manipulated by somebody.

7. Yes. It is quite possible he is being manipulated
 The LACK of truly "damaging" material is interesting. From what I can see so far, this is a bunch of
gossip column outakes. If I were an agency feeding Wikileaks, I sure as hell would make sure nothing
truly damaging to the security of the US got out. Understand that I'm not saying that any of the releases were
faked - just that the possibility exists that the releases were handpicked. I'm not saying
probable - just possible.

8. He's probably not too far off.
 Do you really think it would be that hard to play an attention seeker like Assange?

This could get interesting, considering there is a substantial faction of DUers who are not so enamored of the Prophet Assange.

DUmmies still scratching their heads where all these stuff comes from?! And who funds it?! Of course they do. They don't want to know/don't understand the facts.
Would they be surprised if George Soros and the OSI had something to do with it? Because they do.

I'll go with stick it in a round room and tell it there is a government check in the corner.

I cought that on Beck's show too. Well. I didn't actually see the whole show, just a clip in an email I got from Beck. Since I can't usually catch him on TV, I signed up at his site for his daily email updates.
