The Life and Times of the Leberkäse Kid

Inside Daniel Domscheit-Berg - the dark tragedy, the comedy gold.

Someone came round with a copy of DDB's book in English. No one here would have bought a copy of it. The content is of no practical value and the money would go to a suspect source and to a publisher owned by the insidious Bonnier Group known for vicious attacks on The Pirate Bay and WikiLeaks.

But this was a 'free' copy and reading it generated no further revenues for anyone. And now that we've all read it, it's time to reflect on the bizarre journey we've all been through.

1. Sad!

Keeping to an impartial plane as much as possible, we can only say the book is a sad experience. It's not so much hatred or disgust with Daniel Domscheit-Berg that one feels as it's outright pity.

DDB's book also has the audacity to take up Julian's legal situation in Sweden - and the further audacity to get more facts wrong than there are facts presented. One has to wonder if DDB can actually do any proper journalistic research or if the whole purpose of the chapter - and perhaps the entire dime novel - was to smear and harm Julian Assange and WikiLeaks. For it's not even close to accurate and every mistake seems to work against Julian and WikiLeaks, not in a single instance for him. There's too much coincidence for it all to be mere 'coincidence'.
