Monday Wikileaks released a little over half a million U.S. diplomatic cables 531,525 cables from the year 1979.
This comes after the internet went into a furious rage speculating that Wikileaks was compromised and It’s founder Julian Assange was dead and after a recent release of the Yemen files, which revealed the U.S. plan to give $147mn in military hardware to Yemen.
“If any year could be said to be the ‘year zero’ of our modern era, 1979 is it,” WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said in a press release.
“In the Middle East, the Iranian revolution, the Saudi Islamic uprising and the Egypt-Israel Camp David Accords led not only to the present regional power dynamic but decisively changed the relationship between oil, militant Islam and the world,” Assange added.
That brings the total number of documents released by Wikileaks in it’s diplomatic collection to 3.3 million cables, with the addition of these new 531,525 cables.
