THREAD:

Some "journalists" connected to the activism sphere should be applying for a job at the National Enquirer (doesn't Trump have a mate there?) as they engage in what can only be described as gutter, tabloid "journalism".

Apparently I'm their next target.

1/

There are rumours being seeded to people close to me who the provocateurs knew would surely pass them straight on to me, that DM's between myself, and @JulianAssange will be "leaked" to said gutter tabloid "journalists".

2/

This is precisely what police operations do when they are going to raid someone's house. They leak the info to the target that they will be raided, ahead of the raid, to see if the target will run around trying to hide things, or who they will talk to.

3/

Except I won't be hiding anything, or deleting anything, nor will I be racing off writing thousands-of-word blogposts trying to counter the smears, because I'm too busy doing amazing things with amazing people for the right motivations & achieving great things because of it.

4/

The desperate gutter journalists are apparently going to claim that I wrote "romantic" messages to Julian. That is completely false. I do not, nor have I ever had, any romantic interest in Julian Assange. Anyone suggesting the contrary is both sexist and a liar.

5/

That the very people who accuse Julian of being misogynistic would themselves stoop to denigrating a woman's human rights activism as being romantically-motivated shows who the true misogynists really are. They would rather lie about me than admit I am an effective activist.

6/

Rather than give them any more than 15 mins of my too-precious time, which countless other amazing people deserve to have far more than they do, I'm going to finish organising an absolutely fantastic vigil now. Let them hate while we love & rise above.

Solidarity!
