TL;DR? 1 hour phone conversation

Warned them an ex-employee had access and was gonna drop a bunch of unredacted cables that could compromise US assets. Had tried to get in touch with state for over a day but wasn't getting much response until this call.

So Assange DiD try to warn the government...?

My opinion of him went up a bit.

Watch it turn out that this Daniel Domscheit-Berg guy was on of their own, they already knew, and that’s why they didn’t want to hear Assange’s warning... he was probably burning their operation.

What a sign of our times that what you just wrote is more likely and rings more true than any single thing that ever came out of the Obama administration on this issue.

I'm so tired of the deep state playing their games with everyone else's lives.

Id be very curious to know what the timing of this phone call is, do we know? Because a big drop came out from assange account that never got verified but it also didn't have assanges verification on it.

Additionally Assange released 100k unclassified cables, before the rouge ex-employee released the full 250k classified ones, trying to get attention away of those, or even discourage them to release the full 250k damaging ones.

So not only warned them, but even deployed a smokescreen, trying to avoid the full release which could damage US interests.

What were those assets?

How could they compromise US? Didn't Assange know all about the "deep state" and everything like that?

Wouldn't he want the truth to get out? Why would he warn the US if he knew the US is corrupt as fuck?

US assets can mean sources, double agents etc. You don't want China to kill all the spies working for the US now would you? Oh I guess they already did that.
(Don't believe all the official stories of course on why they were compromised) https://www.businessinsider.com/how-china-found-cia-spies-leak-2018-8

Plus Pede rundowns are more trustworthy than the MSM

Half of the good stuff here is the comments

I often read them first before I read the article

in this case, it's a straight leak of a phone call, so no MSM propaganda

Lots of encrypted file dumps are publicly available right now, but without knowing which ones to look for, you would never know the file has anything juicy. WL has the keys and knows which files, but they don't actually posses the files themselves, they keep them distributed for security. Rogue Wikileaks employee passed all this information (file names, where the files are hosted, which dumps they were a part of) to a bunch of media outlets but was holding out on the keys and this is WL attempt to warn the US State Department that the locations are about to go public and the bad actor employee was about to give up the key based on what they were seeing happen and been contacted about.

Here is the article about it.

From the header:

"Assange to State: Rogue former employee Daniel Domscheit-Berg intends to release classified State Department cables without redactions or other precautions."
