You're either a really good troll, or you need more practice with your articles to pass as a native English speaker :)

this comment is a great example of foreign astroturfing try posting from an account with a comment history next time
There are many reasons why users post with new accounts on HN, not all such users are 'foreign' (whatever that word means on an international site). Accusing others of astroturfing or shilling without evidence is not allowed. Somebody simply having an opposing view does not count as evidence. There are plenty of opposing views.

The claims of partisanship rely on Wikileaks own claims to have information that they aren't releasing. Assange has said they have information on Trump that they weren't releasing.
> Assange has said they have information on Trump that they weren't releasing. Could you point me to a source for that?
Why would they release their own tools?
Only caring about Americans is the exact reason non-American keep supporting Wikileaks and the like, we're tired of your american view of the world, you're not the center of it, piss off.

I totally support Wikileaks. Both China and Russia are oppressive regimes. They don't pretend to be "land of free" while oppressing their people. USA does! Secondly there is element of "outcome". Exposing US government has clear benefit of keeping people informed and hence help them make better voting decisions. Telling Chinese people that their government is systematically harvesting organs of Tibetian people has no…
>Telling Chinese people that their government is systematically harvesting organs of Tibetian people has no new information or benefit. This is hilarious. Whatever you have been smoking, it needs to stop.

To what extent are Wikileaks actively soliciting inputs from Russia or China? Why, for example, was the Panama Papers leak (or other major financial disclosure leaks) not handled through Wikileaks? (Edward Snowden's disclosures would be another example, though that did target the US.)
> To what extent are Wikileaks actively soliciting inputs from Russia or China? And how would that go, exactly? "Excuse me China/Russia, do you have any secrets you'd like to share? Please upload to us..." Lol. Soliciting spies sounds like a good way to get killed. If you're so eager, you go ahead and do it - but good luck trying to convince others they some 'obligation' to lest you brand them 'partisan'.
"WikiLeaks offers award for #LabourLeaks "23 September 2016
"Wikileaks offers £20,000 reward for #LabourLeaks with information on how the Labour Party’s top officials have attempted to stop Jeremy Corbyn becoming and staying on as leader.
"With our #DNCleaks, Wikileaks exposed how those at the top of the US Democratic Party had worked tirelessly to tilt the scales in favour of Hillary Clinton as she faced off against Bernie Sanders in the race to be the Democrat presidential candidate. Our revelations eventually prompted the resignation of five of the most senior members of the Democratic Party in the aftermath of the Democratic Convention, including DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz...."

I'm not sure i follow your reasoning. I follow all of their leaks, but i'm not aware of these "summaries" you are referring to. It sounds like perhaps your interaction with wikileaks is mediated by the media, and your problem is with the media. For instance, this link we are commenting on is directly to a primary document, with no summary provided. The only "summaries" i am aware of, would be their tweets, which are…
https://wikileaks.org/vault7/#Marble Framework > The source code shows that Marble has test examples not just in English but also in Chinese, Russian, Korean, Arabic and Farsi. This would permit a forensic attribution double game, for example by pretending that the spoken language of the malware creator was not American English, but Chinese, but then showing attempts to conceal the use of Chinese, drawing forensic in…

Not sure why they'd need a cover story for not having big leaks. It's not like US intentionally leaks things either. Anybody is free to try and hack their systems just the same way people hack US ones.
While it's not some magical spy software during few last years there was plenty of leaks from inside the government and recent arrests was covered pretty well by western press: https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-01-30/how-russi... Leaks include president Medvedev personal email and his secretary email, then Vladislav Surkov secretary emails and multiple entrepreneurs related to Kremlin. Though I doubt there…
