So many people have latched on to that brief soundbite from Assange and used it as a basis for conspiracies yet I have never located any more details from Assange himself on the topic. Sure plenty of other people have written stuff about it or made videos detailing it, but unless it comes from Julian Assange, all of that is just the equivalent of "cyber fear porn fan fiction". I don't think anyone used the term "smart dust" before Assange did so that was not already an established concept until he said it in that interview. Surely if it were such an important topic that Assange felt needed to be mentioned, I would think he would have talked about it more or at least elaborated on it in the interview. Once he said it in the interview, he just kept on going down the road without circling back or anything. It always seemed weird that people ran with it hard when there was nothing really said about it outside of a catchy phrase. What's up with that?
So does anyone have more detail from Assange himself on "smart dust"? I don't want any other source since Assange was the one who kicked it all off and everyone else will simply be spinning yarns from the concept. I want Julian's words and his words only. Got anything else from him?
