That accusation does not make any sense considering the scope of leaks Wikileaks have published during their lifetime.

Which shadowy non-Western organization wanted the whole Icelandic parliament ousted? They would probably have opted for the opposite.

The impact of the organization the past few years have mainly regarded money laundering. And agencies you want to implicate in this have overwhelmingly had their connections to the subjects of those scandals.

The Iceland leaks were well before Assange became fixated on revenge on Hillary Clinton, and (probably related to that fixation) closely allied with Russia.

That narrative turns a blind eye to the whole history of the project and focuses on a single issue.

Why push this narrative so hard? Completely without sources? It is not very helpful.
