I don't think the Julian Assange case is as clear cut as it might seem. I lived next door to his father, John Shipton, for over a decade and he was a regular visitor in our household. John is not a straight-talker and neither is his son but my feeling about Julian is that he was infiltrated from probably when he first hacked a government computer when he was in his late teens/early twenties and has somehow been brainwashed to believe that 9/11 really was a terrorist attack. It's interesting because I know his dad recognises controlled demolition. I think his wife is an agent who's somehow turned - Stella Moris (not her original name) is one letter different from Stella Maris which has occult associations. It's all a mystery and my having been a neighbour of John's and dined with him numerous times does not help me understand things any better than anyone else. Bradley / Chelsea Manning is clearly an agent and I think Julian really believed her, I don't think he was "in on" the fakery of Collateral Murder. Andrew O'Hagan does not paint a flattering picture of Julian but I don't think his portrait tends to suggest he's an agent (wittingly or unwittingly).
