i recently came across some info the implications are shocking. read this thread: https://threader.app/thread/1214173689111031808 https://threader.app/thread/1214173689111031808 Aaron had been helping Assange and Wikileaks very early on. In 2009, Wikileaks released files from the Congressional Research Service, apparently obtained by scraping their website using a trivial by-pass to access non-public files. Aaron had worked on the staff of Congressman Grayson during the same time period. What if it was Aaron poking around the CRS website as part of his job duties who found that bug and then gave it to Assange? That would make Aaron the "source" for that 2009 leak--one of the first things published by then young Wikileaks. what if the reason DOJ so harshly persecuted Aaron was because of his involvement with Wikileaks? This is speculation, as there is no explicit evidence supporting this. Aaron's connection to Wikileaks seems like an important enough coincidence that I cannot rule it out. But I have always wondered: just how far does the US govt go to suppress and permanently silence people who are Enemies of the State? Especially talented programmers who are digitial natives well equipped to challenge systems of power which are more and more based on technical and information supremacy?
