Wikileaks is a spent material at this point, its taskforce has been retasked with other, more topical objectives of the agenda.

By that you mean the US has managed to indefinitely imprison an innocent journalist to silence the truth they didn't like.
By that I mean that all you see in the media is but a spectacle.

Did Wikileaks achieve anything else but raising the degree of angst and learned helplessness in mere mortals of this world? Maybe there occurred a revolution somewhere against the entities whose corpus delicti was leaked? Any supreme moron convicted? Anything positively changed in the global state of affairs?

Nope, all it did is communicate the message about how both utterly corrupted and invulnerable those entities are, and everyone trying to expose their crimes is doomed, like the character of Assange.

In simple words: Wikileaks == controlled opposition.
