Ah, would that I could, Ben. I'm working under the assumption that he feels there are those who are being unduly harsh with their judgement and castigation of Teh WikiLaek, and perhaps in his haste to present his own ideas on the matter had mistakenly interpreted some posts of our fair membership as implying a worldwide Israeli plot in control of the US government and beyond, as well as incorrectly discerned a tendency toward agreement with certain exact points which have been put forward by our government and their supporters in what appear on the surface to be attempts to interrupt the abilities of Assange & Co. in their quest to perform the werldz biggist Cy Op since the Catholic Church. But it's really just a guess, as he is a new poster, and I have yet to fully inculcate worldviews within the administration nexus regarding his status.
And, as you might suspect, such an assertion - god knows from whence it came! - hovers dangerously near to contravention of the
posting guidelines regarding insinuations of disinformation, which I recommend The Hacktivist read and take to his bosom. Though I'm not sure it actually oversteps those bounds, per se, and thus the lack of real urgency with regards to a more formal public cautioning by the moderator staff. He may just be fishing for a response. It's happened before, or so I've heard.
However, thank you for pointing it out, and, as a further reminder, fascist tendencies and anti-semitism are generally unwelcome here, so do let us know if you encounter such, or are confronted with any other statements which might seem tainted, however faintly, by the unanswerable charge of disinfo.
