I urge you, under penalty of, I am not sure what exactly, not to read about this leaked document specifying 140 items that Wikileaks claims are false statements about Julian Assange regarding Wikileaks.
Again, I implore you, to look away from this now:
"There is a pervasive climate of inaccurate claims about WikiLeaks and Julian Assange, including purposeful fabrications planted in large and otherwise 'reputable' media outlets,"Wikileaks said [in] an email sent to media organizations and marked "Confidential legal communication. Not for publication."
Thank you for not looking at that.
And I urge you not to share this article, or copy and paste any part of this article, about the document-leaking organization known as Wikileaks.
Such as this excerpt:
LONDON (Reuters) - WikiLeaks on Sunday advised journalists not to report 140 different "false and defamatory" statements about its founder Julian Assange, who has been holed up in the Ecuadorean embassy in London since June 2012.
It was not immediately clear what prompted the advice to media organizations, but WikiLeaks singled out Britain's Guardian newspaper for publishing what it said was a false report about Assange. The Guardian did not immediately respond late on Sunday to a Reuters request for comment.
Unless you are only going to say kind things about Julian Assange, I ask, in the spirit of bended knee, that you vow to leave his name out of your mouth, particularly if you plan to make statements like the ones printed below, which Wikileaks says should not be randomly dumped, for public viewing.
WikiLeaks also said it was false and defamatory to suggest that Assange, 47, had ever been employed by the Russian government or that he is, or has ever been, close to the Russian state, the Kremlin or Putin.
Other items listed as false and defamatory included more personal claims including that Assange bleaches his hair, that he is a hacker, that he has ever neglected an animal or that he has poor personal hygiene.
I want to thank all of you who averted your eyes and employed the time-honored principles of prior restraint and self-censorship, by not leaking any of this leaked information, about Wikileaks and Julian Assange, who adores pets, is naturally blonde and smells divine.
