Did you know that Julian Assange grew up (possibly) in a child trafficking Australian cult?

Yeah, it's odd that he was able to learn to program at such a young age actually. Don't cults like to cut you off from the world and technology...?

I was under the impression that he got out of the cult ("The Family") at a fairly young age. There was a documentary made over a decade ago, (before WikiLeaks) called "In the Realm of the Hackers" that is based on Julian Assange. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZeG1WhHWh4

I only know that this was a doomsday cult, and they were home-schooled. The woman who ended up bringing this particular cult down was expelled for rebelliousness as a teen, and ended up becoming a doctor.

Now, Assange has said that his Mom took him and his brother into hiding to escape the cult, and that is the official story, that he was never in the cult. But the link above theorizes (and says why) that the escape might have been a cover story for the future when they might need plausible deniability.
