The Wikileaks Index
Back in late 2016, Wikileaks revealed the existence of a little known index that combines onsite and offsite resources relating to Wikileaks material. This invaluable tool helps make the mammoth amount of documents available on the Wikileaks website more accessible and systematic.

Crossmatch: the biggest breach in privacy sensitive data ever
I wish I had were able to submit something to every promotion you guys run, I did get a good one going for deepdives though. I am a fan of reading Wikileaks and was happy to get back into it for IW! Hope you like it ;)

I wish I could enter again, there's something shocking very close to us at the moment .. involving a wikileaks file, but I'm too scared diving into it. Because precautions will be made too.. maybe if it's solved and will be on some news I am not to scared anymore.. My hands are itching though.. Unbelievable that this is possible, but then again, our home country Holland does seem to make a mess out of everything..
Great! I will surely be participating in this challenge!
I apologize if this is stupid question, but I'm not fully familiar with content of Wikileaks documents. I heard about Wikileaks million times, but never gone deeply into research about it, so I don't know what kind of material is in there. For example, do that documents have info that show Roman Catholic Church is deeply corrupted organization?
The Wikileaks site has it's own search query, if you enter 'catholic church' you will certainly get thousands of hits.
Refine your search terms to narrow your focus.
Here's an interesting title from Wikileaks -
https://wikileaks.org/gifiles/docs/89/895875_catholic-church-grapples-with-donations-from-mexican-cartels.html
have fun!
Thanks for the info! Don't know why, but I'm really passionate about exposing Catholic Church. I will do my best to dig up some info.
Sorry, this time didn't have much time for this research. I will do my best to check this link, so I would understand better how to navigate thru Wikileaks documents and write quality article for one of next Deep Dives projects.
I think I'll give this a go!
Great challenge. Thanks for putting this together. Much appreciated.

Challenge accepted and resteeming for now! Will make a post on an interesting topic before the stipulated time! All the best!
I've put together a few WikiLeaks email posts recently including an expose' on the D.C. Leaks related to Soros' role in the Ukraine coup/crisis, as well as an expose' on how Google/Alphabet/Eric Schmidt collaborated with Al-Jazeera to manufacture propaganda for the Syrian regime change agenda, and thirdly, how the WikiLeaks Podesta emails release revealed fully that the Clinton/Podesta team took millions from Saudi Arabia and Qatar while being fully aware that those countries were financing ISIS operations in Syria.
All three posts are linked here, and whether I win or not, I hope that others find these posts of value and help spread the truth around. All three posts clearly prove that specific global elitists and their media/social media proxies play verifiable roles in fomenting wars around the globe.
Kind regards. Here are the posts:

The third post I placed up on Democratic Underground in 2016 under the screenname "Highoverheadspace". This post and a few others I posted there at the time led to my being stalked, alerted upon and eventually banned at the site. My being banned at DU and other sites led to me deciding to set up my own site "Clarity of Signal" in early 2017, and now has led to me being on Steemit and backing up the geopolitical info that I attain, compile and disseminate.

Sweet...just when the withdrawal symptoms started kicking in!
You know we wouldn't leave you hanging like that ;)
Looking forward to see what you dig up this time round!
Thanks, me too! ❤❤❤
Yes, here we go again, count me in. :-)
This is great! Really looking forward to seeing what comes out of this, we the people have to bring about this disclosure, the govt will do what it takes to silence this otherwise.
Hi Asher. Love challenges and didn't know about this site. Will definitely rummage around over the weekend.
Podesta emails, #PizzaGate, Comet Ping Pong, enough said.. I'm not going to be the one to do a writeup on that because It'd be a 50,000 word story.
Great idea to initiate this research challenge.
Great post.
Very useful post.
