Assange is extradited to die in the US empire.

Some, if not all of it, looks like files they've already leaked.

Skimming through the archive, I'm not seeing a lot of classified materials or anything like that. The stuff from David Miscavige's cult, for instance, is not protected by law.

And a lot of it is random non-sensitive junk that you'd have to be a hardcore conspiracy-theorist to even recognise - how many people will know what Bilderberg refers to, for example. Of the actual leaked stuff it all seems to be pre-2010, so nothing terribly current for today. It looks more like the contents of a file packrat's hard drive than any big revelation.

"Bilderberg"
That is not fringe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilderberg_meeting [wikipedia.org]

I know what it refers to, but it's definitely fringe. How many people do you know - who don't wear radioactive anti-5G pendants - believe in this stuff?

I think it's pretty well established that the Bilderberg Group exists. There seems to be a lot of speculation about, and criticism of them, of varying plausibility. If you are claiming that the group doesn't exist, well - there's reasonable skepticism and then there's just being silly.

Of course they exist, they publish summaries of their meetings most years, but it's just an upmarket Foo Camp, nothing sinister or conspiratorial.
In fact given the sorts of people who go to Foo I'd be more worried about that than Bilderberg.

"Foo Camp"
Now that's fringe.

Definitely! We roleplay scenarios that involve lynching nonconformists, spying on people, informing on your neighbours, the whole nine yards [wikihow.com]. Definitely a sinister group that needs keeping an eye on.
And the cards are marked-up Dora the Explorer cards. Not just sinister and evil but crazy on top of it.

I have no idea what a "Foo Champ" is but I'm not sure you should be so unconcerned about a meeting of very powerful people with the express intent of furthering the creation of a single world government. Even of they do have the best of intentions, self interest can be a insidious and unconscious motivator. I don't have any information, or strong opinion beyond that - also wasn't aware that meeting summaries were published - a link to these would be interesting if you have one. It did look like you were denying the existence of the group so glad you weren't being that kooky (not that I think that is impossible - maybe I have been hoodwinked by a conspiracy theory myself, and the existence of the Bilderberg Group is just a smokescreen for WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON!).

I was going by the following quote from Wikipedia (yes, I know):
In 2001, Denis Healey, a Bilderberg group founder and a steering committee member for 30 years, said, "To say we were striving for a one-world government is exaggerated, but not wholly unfair. Those of us in Bilderberg felt we couldn't go on forever fighting one another for nothing and killing people and rendering millions homeless. So we felt that a single community throughout the world would be a good thing."
So maybe my language was a little strong but the original point still holds.

If you watch the collateral murder video, there is a segment, maybe 3 seconds long, that I've never seen, or don't remember seeing before. Early in the video, you can see the Reuters jorno peering around the corner of a building. I'm not certain if he's down on one knee, maybe he's just stooped over a little. But he is furtively peering around the corner of the building, looking in the direction of the US troops that this group had engaged with just prior to the Apaches arriving on scene.
Those critical seconds seem to have been edited out of versions I've seen in the past. Otherwise, the video is as I remember it. (alternatively, maybe those seconds weren't edited out, but they are simply cleaner and clearer in this .flv version that I'm looking at.)
So, yeah, these are mostly files that have been released, but it seems there are some differences. Differences such as those couple seconds of video that are subtle, but critical.
