The fifth estate film, A formal and critical review...
Dear Daniel Domscheit-Berg...
It's long overdue as I have seen the 2013 Fifth Estate film many times over the years, and, quite frankly I'm feeling froggy after seeing it again TONIGHT, SOOOO I'M GONNA JUMP.
Here goes…
Pro or con all of us are familiar with WikiLeaks and one Julian Assange!
To my mind it is essential service what WikiLeaks does in terms of the information and TRUTHTELLING Departments. Because they keep what would otherwise be a dumbed down society, on purpose, massively informed. I say, “MORE power to um!”
That said though I wanna lovingly invite y'all to watch and devel in to further the Fifth Estate film and the real-life experiences of Julian Assange and one Daniel Domscheit-Berg.
As an accomplished hacktavist and award winning novelist Domscheit-Berg MUST be given his just due like that of the devils that you know verses the ones that you don't.
Give Assange his credit as well for hiring the little backstabber! Maybe Trump should give him a call?
In any case in the Fifth Estate film is about what started out as a damned fine relationship and the hacktavism between Assange and Domscheit-Berg.
To be sure Hollywood takes creative liberties as often as it can SO the Fifth Estate storyline needs to be taken with a grain of salt. For instance nothing at all about Assange's partner and Wikileaks co-founder John Young.
Hollywood and Domscheit-Berg elected instead (and the David Leigh and Luke Harding book, "Wikileaks") to make it all about the once partnership of Assange and Domscheit-Berg. As if that alone was the be all to end all on all things Assange and WikiLeaks when clearly it is not!
Additionally, Domscheit-Berg and his beloved wife Anke are anything but the nearly innocent wallflowers portrayed by actors Daniel Bruhl and Alicia Vikander (of, "Jason Bourne" infamy) …
Throughout the film Anke is portrayed as this lowly young female office co-worker that young Daniel has an eye for. In reality Anke Domscheit-Berg is a German Leftist Politican, since 2017 in Germany's Bundestag, young Daniel, and he is young as he is 10 years younger than his beloved, Anke is indeed an agent of the German Government, and I have strong reason to believe that their relationship was just more than love at first sight via some accidental meet at a German Hacker Club!
Drew Pearson and Jack Anderson were the last of the Fifth Estate. Today there is nobody reporting on the mischief of our political representatives.
Those two mentioned in your piece are self serving traitors.
