That he distrusts wikileaks is a far more serious issue because they have an excellent record of accuracy because they do not fabricate their content, probably the only trusted source we have. The problem wikileaks presents to people like whodey is that you need to put some effort into reading its content. I suspect he would much rather have his echo chamber cookie cutter info delivered by room service.
Jesus Christ, man, just listen to yourself.
Don't you get depressed listening to yourself all day, every day?

Neither you nor Wikileaks are in a position to know which of the four possibilities I've given are pertinent to any given document. Further Wikileaks is said to have become a front for the FSB, in which case it has become an information warfare asset for the Russian State. What every official of the intelligence community who has ever commented says is that any given piece of information has to be taken with a pinch of salt, they assess it and regard the information as low quality unless there are multiple sources. Since you have no other sources for this how do you know Wikileaks do not fabricate their content?

To put it another way. When I was a kid my elders used to say: "Don't believe everything you see on the television.". With the internet that rule goes five-fold. Especially with a site like Wikileaks, maybe it's true and maybe it isn't, but what is the case is that various state and non-state players can use Wikileaks to disseminate information for an effect that they want. So I wouldn't start unquestioningly believing everything that is posted on Wikileaks.

All you have made is an appeal to ignorance what we supposedly do not know rather than what we do and the comment about being a front for some government agency reeks of the kind of tabloid propaganda that regularly floods the internet. I have already provided one instance of how one can verify the content of wikileaks with regard to email dumps. Your analogy is ludicrous and unworthy of serious comment and i reject your concerns, they are nothing more than half baked assertions and vague references to clandestine agencies.

From now on, there will be no more evidence to find about any of their criminal activities.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieIt's rather amusing that in this day and age of mass communication they have reduced themselves back to meeting face to face once again

Its the safest way. Either that or invisible ink 😀
It would only get hacked eventually though.
Government Is so corrupt, they better come up with something or plan on traveling a lot.
