WikiLeakers founder Julian Assange on Saturday predicted the demise of the Democratic Party.

In a post online, shared by his Twitter account, Assange argued that the party has been "consumed" by "hysteria about Russia," something he called a "political dead end." It is upon this "narrative" that the "party's elite" attempts to keep a hold on power, he said.

"Without the 'We didn't lose, Russia won' narrative the party's elite and those who exist under its patronage would be purged for being electorally incompetent and ideologically passe," Assange said.

Assange's group, WikiLeaks, is responsible for the publication of stolen documents from the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton's campaign during the 2016 campaign, which has been attributed to hurting Clinton's chances. Furthermore, though WikiLeaks denies it, the U.S. intelligence community reported in January with "high confidence" that both WikiLeaks and Guccifer 2.0, among others, were being used by Russian intelligence "to release US victim data obtained in cyberoperations publicly" in order to help undermine the 2016 presidential election in favor of President Trump.

Despite this, Assange said that the "Trump-Russian collusion narrative" being investigated by a number of probes and consistently reported on by the media is unfounded, and "we are left with the Democratic establishment blaming the public for not liking the truth about what Hillary Clinton said to Goldman Sachs and blaming their own base for not liking what they said in their own emails about fixing the DNC primaries."

Filling out a list of six reasons why the Democratic Party is "doomed," Assange said the party "needs the support of the security sector and media barons to push this diversionary conspiracy agenda," but that this strategy is unsustainable. Both the CIA and the FBI, he explained, will be turned against them when they "merge" with the Trump administration.

Not all of the criticism was reserved for the Democrats. For instance, Assange said Trump is embracing "robber barons, dictators and gravitas-free buffoon's like the CIA's Mike Pompeo." In April, Pompeo called WikiLeaks a "non-state, hostile intelligence service." A week later, the Washington Post reported that the Justice Department is close to considering arresting and filing criminal charges against members of WikiLeaks, including Assange.

Still, the bulk of Assange's post focused on the Democrats. "GOP/Trump has open goals everywhere: broken promises, inequality, economy, healthcare, militarization, Goldman Sachs, Saudi Arabia & cronyism, but the Democrat establishment can't kick these goals since the Russian collusion narrative has consumed all its energy and it is entangled with many of the same groups behind Trump's policies," he wrote.

He ended his post calling on the Democratic base to start a new party, in an argument that makes references to French President Emmanuel Macron's recent campaign.

"The Democratic base should move to start a new party since the party elite shows no signs that they will give up power," Assange wrote. "This can be done quickly and cheaply as a result of the internet and databases of peoples' political preferences. This reality is proven in practice with the rapid construction of the Macron, Sanders and Trump campaigns from nothing. The existing Democratic party may well have negative reputational capital, stimulating a Macron-style clean slate approach. Regardless, in the face of such a threat, the Democratic establishment will either concede control or, as in the case of Macron, be eliminated by the new structure."
