So has anybody been following this? Any ideas on what this might be? Here's the backstory; no good article yet as this is still developing. The first inclination came a few days ago, when one particular source mentioned that the WH is sitting on a huge scandal. Now, this source had been proven right about a few things, but it also got one piece of information wrong once, so I had to take a statement of such magnitude as "The WH is sitting on a huge scandal" with a grain of salt. Then, a few days later, Robert Gates comes out to the media and says he is not too worried about Wikileaks (Wikileaks is now introduced as also an actor in this drama). Again, not something particularly noteworthy, but worth mentioning, in light what would come later. Maybe he was being preemptive? Fast forward now to today. Wikileaks, as of about 20 seconds ago on twitter (well more now, since I am typing this post lol) is claiming that they are under attack, presumably by the DoD and the FBI. Reuters also points to a message they received from the DoD which cautions the media to be very careful about how they treat this latest matter. Wikileaks then also reveals the name of what it is that is so controversial. Something called Project BO. (Barack Obama?) Wikileaks also states that they have something called Insurance -- not sure what that refers to, but I'm guessing they must have a backup somewhere. So what do people think may be going on? There is a theory (speculation) that it may have to do with the WH and Iraq, though Wikileaks denies its about Iraq. So who knows. But taking what is happening now, with what the first source I mentioned said about "The WH is sitting on a scandal", I have to say, I am a bit curious if anything is going on, and if so, what is it? Any ideas? It will be fascinating to see if something comes of this...
Too many possibilities for more than just deliberately wild speculation. Proof of the birther conspiracy theory or something like it? Would dovetail with why Barack Obama would be labeled a "project".
<Paranoid> BO manufactures a scandal that he knows the Republicans will latch on to (another Monica?) and lets them embarass themselves to rescue his floundering presidency</> Nah. I got nothin'.
It's probably leaks about how Afghanistan and America are secretly talking with the Taliban. Not much of a secret since the news reported it but it's not too widely known.
They've talked about having "insurance" documents before, should TPTB ever try to silence them. Currently their site is down, but that says it's for "maintenance". And they've just twittered that they have a major press conference coming up...
Leaks now? This close to an election? We'll see who gets demonized and then we'll know whose pocket they are really in.
