 👀Tin foil hat conspiracy thought of the day :

Julian Assange potentially being a Russian agent and vice versa with Alexei Navalny for the US… I’m not saying it’s true, but it’s still a somewhat plausible viewpoint, I also find it very coincidental of the timing of Navalny’s death, which coincides perfectly with Assange’s trial.

And I’ll also say this, I’m not intending to downplay what both did in the grand scheme of things, exposing truth is important, but it’s also something that doesn’t sit well at the top of the hierarchy, hence the death & imprisonment, they can use it as proxy and destabilising propaganda in one another’s country.

Just a theory, I don’t know what is true… Thoughts?
