A staffer who joined WikiLeaks last November relayed his disillusionment with what Wikileaks claims to want to do and what it actually does.



Among the tongues that shocked the staffer who only stayed about three months with Wikileaks, he mentions the following:



- Last December 2010, Assange privately promised several thousands of Australian dollars to fund Juice News, the makers of humorous pro-WikiLeaks YouTube videos, while Wikileaks was struggling to come up with a $10,000 donation to the defence fund of Wikileaks source U.S. soldier Bradley Manning.



- When Julian's arrest loomed on allegations of sexual assault, he attempted to access WikiLeaks funds which were received through donations.



-Assange also approached the Wau Holland Foundation, which manages the bulk of WikiLeaks' finances, to ask for substantial funds – for "the future of WikiLeaks". The Foundation refused.



-Assange also tried to obtain the cash held by WikiLeaks' Icelandic division, asking the directors to sign a form authorising the transfer of their (much smaller) coffers.



When I asked one of them whether such a transfer was legal, he replied "I have no idea" but signed anyway.
