Frankly ridiculuous, JA must realize that only ideological motivations are robust enough for his purposes. Actually, religion would be sufficient motivation as well, but all the clueful are atheists.
One must have a day job, semiretired architect, say, so that one can pursue one's own noble ideals. Mozart had to tutor and perform and otherwise sell his time so he could do what he wanted. I won't speculate on JA's personal finances but intelligent people capable of controlling their environment are always valuable. I'll mention Gilmore and May as examples of selfish-atruistic-techsaints. Young and Assange will be discussed this way, one day.
On the Daniel <---> JA axis of access-to-leaks I look forward to those more brazen than JA who don't bother with protecting (US) Collaborators and other collateral damage. Daniel, by offering material only to MSM, is a distraction. If MSM were adequate there would be no niche for cryptome, WL, or Daniel's honeypot.
WL's current trickle is a disgrace. Open the pod bay doors, Hal.
... who'd you rather? Ardin or Wilen?

Hello David, http://www.rayservers.com/blog/physics-drives-finance-finance-drives-politic... "Today, we do not have money or stock markets. We have debt tokens, slave identification cards, money markets instead of stock markets, and fascists in charge. In a related note, we do not have news, we have propaganda. This is because we do not have a market for news, we have a market for advertising. News merely turns into filler in-between the paid advertising spots. Naturally parasites arise to replace news with propaganda." So, hell no, religious idealism won't cut it. You need a market.
