Reply #82: According to Assange, there is information about the major banks in the next [View All]

batch of leaks slated to be released next year. After that announcement was made, the shit hit the fan for him and governments around the world started smearing him in earnest.

That timing was no coincidence. My guess (and it is only a guess, although the timing informs the guess somewhat) is that there is some fairly damaging- and perhaps highly scandalous- information in that batch, perhaps enough to bring down one or more of these companies completely.

If true, the actions of these companies reflects a concerted effort to conceal bad acts on their part, which makes a DDOS attack against them in response to their attempts at covering up that information or preventing it from being released perfectly acceptable to any objective observer.

Think of it this way: bully attacks weak kid. Weak kid and friends know secrets about bully. Bully discovers this, and bully's friends make threats about weak kid, and eventually succeed in kidnapping weak kid. Weak kid's friends tell bully that they will tell bully's parents about bully's secrets, and stand outside bully's house so bully can't come home without bully's secrets being told to bully's parents.

Your position is analogous to saying, "poor bully! That's not fair! And what will it accomplish? Bully doesn't deserve this!"
