WikiLeaks is a website founded by Julian Assange that publishes leaked documents. While it has leaked documents unveiling imperialist crimes of countries such as the United States and Israel,[1] its stated mission objective was to target enemies of the Statesian Regime with the imperial core countries being secondary.[2] Statesian media outlets such as Time Magazine and Washington Post quickly advertised WikiLeaks as an avenue to target the PRC and other enemies of the Empire close to its founding and advocating arguments for its independence and legitimacy.[3][4][5]
Board of Advisors
Three of the nine advisors on WikiLeak's Advisory Boards: Wang Dan, Xiao Qiang, and Wang Youcai are counterrevolutionaries involved in the Reactionary Tiananmen Square Riots. The fourth advisor, Tashi Namgyal Khamsitsang, served for years in the Reactionary Theocratic government in exile of the Dalai Lama. All four were present from near the beginning of WikiLeaks.[6]
Leaked documents
CIA surveillance
In 2017, WikiLeaks released Vault 7, exposing confidential CIA hacking and surveillance systems. The leaks showed that the CIA can listen to people through smartphones, computers, and smart TVs.[1]
Iraq War
In 2010, US Army whistleblower Chelsea Manning leaked a 2007 video of U.S. helicopter pilots in Iraq intentionally shooting civilians, including children and journalists from Reuters.[1]
Israel
In 2008, WikiLeaks revealed that Israel is intentionally keeping Gaza on the brink of collapse.[1]
