@ScotsDefend @Assange_libre @KatuArkonada @LaJornada @Candles4Assange @AnonScan @MrsC_Assange @An0nAKn0wledge @wikileaks @couragefound Wikileaks made the iceberg emerge and suddenly, it became an elephant before us that didn't allow us to look away. The Collateral Murder leaks or Irak War Logs opened the way in 2013 for Edward Snowden to leak information about the PRISM and Xkeyscore programs by the NSA.
