"More clear fabrications about us (Julian hasn't even been to South Africa). Where is it coming from? http://bit.ly/9heCln 3:38 AM Jun 3rd via bit.ly"

This was posted on WIKILEAKS in response to my WIKILEAKS funding piece published by CRYPTOME.

Your friend Julian needs to step up to the plate and answer some of the issues presented, rather than hide behind his usual smoke screen of "they're out to get me" hyperbola. Particularly the point concerning published accounts and expenditures and particularly those headed for South Africa..

WIKILEAKS Insider

Cryptome supports those unknowns who provided Wikileaks with hard to get information. In support of the unknowns Cryptome offers their contributions from January 2007 to April 2010 currently unavailable at Wikileaks. Zipped in a file about 2GB in size, these include most of the controversial files published during the period. For the collection on a DVD email a shipping address to cryptome[at]earthlink.net with the subject "Wikileaks-2007-2010." Send a donation to Wikileaks or other dozens of FOI websites in support of the unknowns. Best for the public and most trustworthy is to run your own outlet -- it can be done for $20 a month. Thousands of outlets terrify the authoritatives of information flow who much prefer a few easily bribed with glory and regular pay.

Why do you attack Mr. Assange from Wikileaks? All of this is US government backed. Are you jealous of Wikileaks? They would never sell information to the highest bidder. Who writes this?

WIKILEAKS FUNDING DRIVE
-----------------------------------------------

Julian Assange's very public fund raising campaign has effectively
stalled with past and potential investors fading into the
background. As previously indicated it is NOT the philosophy of
WIKILEAKS that is in question, but Assange's credibility. 

The lack of any significant high rollers backing Assange has led
to a significant change of direction concerning fund raising.
These are paid interviews and appearances, and appeals to the
internet community to send money.

Keeping in mind that Assange has publicly stated that he needs
$200,000 USD just to keep the lights on, and $600,000 USD to be
fully funded; then just how much has Assange received, how much
has been spent, and on what? A pressing point when one
considered WIKILEAKS is still effectively closed down, and
Assange continues to enjoy a particularly luxurious lifestyle in
South Africa with no comparable income streams.

From information received, since January 2010 WIKILEAKS income
until end of April 2010 has been:

Internet Donations:         $132,347 USD

Media Interviews etc.     $82,892 USD

Sponsorships:                 $28,657 USD

The total income YTD is $243,896 USD.  Then why aren't the
lights on at WIKILEAKS Mr. Assange?? When will you provide
audited accounts of WIKILEAKS operating expenditure??

Finally, just keep in mind that Assange has not abandoned the
concept of selling information by auction to media groups on an
exclusive basis. Now just where does that fit into WIKILEAKS
philosophy? To put it brutally, it does not, it's a scheme
designed exclusively to fill Assange offshore bank accounts..
