According to Julian Assanges biography on wikipedia, he was exposed from an early age to a cult environment.

When he was a year old, his mother married Richard Brett Assange,[14][15][16] an actor, with whom she ran a small theatre company.[17] They divorced around 1979. Christine Assange then became involved with Leif Meynell, also known as Leif Hamilton, a member of Australian cult The Family, with whom she had a son before the couple broke up in 1982.[9][18][19] Assange had a nomadic childhood, and had lived in over thirty[20][21] different Australian towns by the time he reached his mid-teens, when he settled with his mother and half-brother in Melbourne, Victoria.[14][22]

Here is a paraphrase from the following article: http://gawker.com/5551790/the-strange-upbringing-of-wikileaks-founder-jullian-assange

there was evidence that the man belonged to a powerful cult called the Family-its motto was "Unseen, Unknown, and Unheard." Some members were doctors who persuaded mothers to give up their newborn children to the cult's leader, Anne Hamilton-Byrne. The cult had moles in government, Assange suspected, who provided the musician with leads on Claire's whereabouts.

There also appears to be a Reddit thread on this subject: https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/3n55b1/wikileaks_julian_assange_was_raised_in_an_lsd/

And apparently a movie is being made about this cult? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_KeVkZ_JhM

It is at this point where I have to admit that I truly don't understand what is going on anymore. This rabbit hole appears so deep it feels like the abyss is gazing straight into my soul. Can anyone make sense of this?
