WikiLeaks is back with a vengeance. It’s just published five million emails from Stratfor, an intelligence company based in Texas, that appear to be America’s very own privately run CIA. According to WikiLeaks, their deals would also include the use of privileged information to make money in financial markets.
The news just broke that Julian Assange will play himself on the 500th episode of The Simpsons, which is set to air on February 19.
Julian Assange has announced that he’s going to have his own TV show, where he’ll interview “key political players, thinkers and revolutionaries”, and it’s going to be hitting the screens this year. Is there anything this man won’t do?

Cash-strapped serious-gossip portal WikiLeaks is about to come under renewed scrutiny from the US Justice Department, thanks to a court ruling forcing Twitter to hand over details of who accessed the site’s account.
