Assange has no internet , so someone else must manage the twitter account . Does he also have the cat ? That in turn makes it easier to make people believe they ' ve been compromised . As it should , as no one who runs any of the twitter accounts has verified who they are . That in turn makes it easier to make people believe they ' ve been compromised . wikileaks is also running bots to spam twitter . They post contradictory statements . They post misinformation . Theres whole host of reason why they are suspect . Those who will now distrust them , will likely not donate or listen to Wikileaks . It would be exceedingly dangerous for anyone to leak anything to wikileaks if they are not able to verify they are secure . This is common sense . The result The intelligence community has won a big battle and severely trimmed the support of their opponent Wikileaks . Right now wikileaks is likely a honeypot . The intelligence community wins when people fall into their trap . Right now , very few people are falling for it , and they are getting more and more desperate by the day .
