Wikileaks denies anti-Semitism over (((echoes))) tweet

>It’s not exactly the most coherent tweet, but the thrust is nonetheless pretty clear: Wikileaks accused most of its critics of having the (((echoes))) brackets around their names, as well as “black-rimmed glasses,” statements that many interpreted, plainly enough, as “most of our critics are Jews.”

>The Wikileaks account subsequently tweeted some explanations of what the offending tweet meant, suggesting that “neo-liberal castle creepers” had appropriated the racist-turned-anti-racist solidarity gesture, turning it into “a tribalist designator for establishment climbers.” A clarifying tweet also misspelled “gesture” as “jesture,” which further stoked accusations of witting anti-Semitism.

>Wikileaks ultimately defended the decision to delete the tweets, saying they’d been intentionally misconstrued by “pro-Clinton hacks and neo-Nazis.” It’s also been maintaining a pretty aggressive public relations posture regarding these latest leaks. It threatened MSNBC host Joy Reid for tweeting that she planned to discuss an “affinity” between the group and the Russian government on her show, saying “our lawyers will monitor your program.”

>So, again, not the best tone for a group dedicated to prying open closed organizations, regardless of their desires. It also responded to an article by Talking Points Memo’s Josh Marshall, investigating alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Vladimir Putin, accusing him of “weird priority” for focusing on the method of the correspondences' release rather than the data dump itself.

>Wikileaks has also accused Twitter as well as Facebook of censoring information about the DNC emails, highlighting DNC email-related posts that were flagged as “unsafe.” Facebook CSO Alex Stamos subsequently stated on Twitter that the problem had been “fixed,” however, and there’s no shortage of Facebook links out there directing people straight to the leaked materials.
...

>Twitter similarly denied the allegations in a tweet from its public relations account.

>The Wikileaks brouhaha wasn’t the only instance this weekend of a controversial, perceived piece of anti-Semitism on Twitter getting immediately rolled back and explained away.

>The Trump campaign landed in yet another such situation on Sunday morning, when General Mike Flynn―once considered by Trump for his vice presidential selection―retweeted someone who accused “Jews” of misleading people about the origins of the DNC email leak. Flynn has since apologized, saying he only meant to retweet a link to an embedded CNN article about the leak.

Is that shit fucking serious ?


You guys aint fooling anyone anymore
Goddamn bullshit

Who is "you guys" ?

>>62251
Ya know, jews

>>62249
dirty jews

someone got that goebbels quote about the only way to insult a jew is to call them a jew. on an unrelated note it rained on my local synagogue, the rabbi is screaming bloody murder

>>62242
Did (((echoes))) start on /opl/ or did pol just adopt them?

>>62242
Jews are reaching a little too hard lately.

>>62251
jew goys

The echoes thing is 100% straightforward jewish-global-conspiracy-brand anti-semitism.

Ironic since Wikileaks is obviously mega-butthurt about Sanders. But I really doubt the intelligence of people there at the middle-level PR-side of things.

>>62242
So doing (((this))) will offend (((Jews)))?

>point out that a lot of critics have ((())) around their name
>misspell gesture as jesture
OY VEY

this is why anti-semitism will never go away.


>>62340
its a recent trend for jews on twitter to put ((())) around their own name.

>>62366
it's a recent trend for black people to call themselves and their friends "nigger".

>>62366
I can't tell if you're serious or trolling.
(((Echoes))) were started by the anti-semites in the alt-right last year or so. Whenever they were talking about somebody and that person happened to be Jewish, alt-right would put ((())) around their name to emphasize the fact that the person was Jewish.

Jewish people started doing it to themselves to dilute it and mock the neo-Nazi crowd.

>>62406
I thought they did it to Jewish people in history who created waves (echos) that influenced the world as we know it now. Elie Wiesel was marked by it. The anti-semite crowd then picked it up and started applying it to everyone who was Jewish or even had a Jewish sounding name.

>>62407
If you can find proof of that which comes from an unbiased source then post it here.

>>62409
I'm just going off of Wikipedia. There aren't a lot of unbiased timelines on this subject.

Why?

I like to think that Assange/Wikileaks is redpilled but just doesn't show it.
They definitely don't seem to court the Left as much as they could be doing.

Discreditation at its finest

OY VEY SHUT IT DOWN

>>62242
he is probably sick of dirty jews fucking with americas politics

I wish I was a Jew or a darkie minority, they get to freak out and scream racism at the most nonsensical things. Meanwhile, libcucks say that my entire country is made up of basement dwelling xenophobic racists and apparently I'm not allowed to dispute that. Hurray for being a successful minority group that doesn't have a nose the size of the sun.

>>63554
you sound like a white loser who despite all the white privileges couldn't make it in life and is jealous and looking for excuses

>>63578
You sound like a dirty fucking nigger

>>63579
Why even respond to bait that poor?

>>63579
you are lower than a dirty nigger you white trash neet loser

>>62503
/pol/ was right again

>>63579
Rekt.

>>62354
(((You)))

>>62406

>>62279
A little bit of both. A twitter app was made that allowed people to see if someone was Jewish by putting ((())) around their names. /pol/ found out about this and amplified its use and next thing you know Jews are using it on themselves to show that they aren't scared of being labeled a Jew but yet still complained about it being antisemitic.

>Jews are literally putting stars on themselves, doing the app's job for us.
