Timeline Of Very Weird Events Around Wikileaks Fueling Suspicion It Has Been Compromised (and Assange captured/killed)
336 2016-11-19 by [deleted]
Here is a brief timeline of events: h/t /r/WhereIsAssange
Apr 16th: John Jones QC, Assange's U.N. Lawyer dies jumping in front of a train.
May 11th: Michael Ratner, WikiLeaks' chief counsel, dies of cancer.
Jul 10th: Seth Rich, DNC staffer who supposedly leaked DNC documents to Wikileaks, is shot twice in the back and dies. Police report says robbery, but nothing was stolen from his body.
Aug 5th: Edward Snowden (source of leaks on surveillance by the NSA) tweets 64 bit code (potential dead man's switch).
Aug 10th: Wikileaks offers $20k reward for information on murder of Seth Rich.
Oct 7th: Podestamails leaks first batch.
Oct 14th: John Podesta tweets "I bet the lobster risotto is better than the food at the Ecuadorian Embassy”.
Oct 16th/17th: John Kerry visits the UK, personally pressures Equador to stop Assange from publishing documents about Clinton.
Oct 16th: Wikileaks tweets SHA-256 prerelease keys.
Oct 18th: Equadorian Embassy cuts off Assange's internet access.
Oct 18th: Pamela Anderson visits Assange and feeds him a vegan sandwich.
Oct 18th: Witnesses photograph and report heavily armed police and vans outside Equadorian Embassy, are barred from approaching and have cellphones confiscated. Live feeds are cut off.
Oct 18th: Fox News reports Assange will be arrested in a matter of hours.
Oct 18th: https://file.wikileaks.org/file made publicly visible, file dates/timestamps changed to 1984 (Orwell reference). Possibly an additional dead-man's switch or contingency.
Oct 18th: London Airport evacuated due to "chemical attack", potentially used as cover to fly Assange out of country.
Oct 20th: /r/wikileaks, /r/dncleaks, /r/wikileakstaskforce and /r/nsaleaks add 21 new moderators and remove previous mods, all threads about Assange going missing deleted since.
Oct 20th/21st: Wikileaks tweets 5 tweets with misspelled words. The incorrect letters spell "HELP HIM". The Wikileaks twitter has never made a spelling error, let alone 5 in two days.
Oct 21st: Massive DDoS attack on US internet. Wikileaks tweets to imply the attack originates from its supporters, asking them to stop.
Oct 22nd: Gavin MacFadyen (mentor to Assange and key player in Wikileaks) dies of lung cancer.
Oct 22nd: Riseup.net (the email provider used for Wikileaks' twitter account) deletes the means (certificate fingerprints) by which to authenticate their future communications.
Oct 23rd: Wikileaks Tweets poll asking how best to prove Assange is alive (he still hasn't appeared on video or at the window since).
Oct 24th: Wikileaks Tweets video of Assange and Michael Moore recorded in June.
Oct 26th: 4chan users successfully successfully decode their first message in Wikileak's blockchain. Threads are instantly flooded by shills saying that it's not worth looking into. The blockchain is blocked with fees and 43000 unconfirmed transactions appear in the mempool.
Nov 6th: Huge DDoS takes down Wikileaks for first time in years.
Nov 7th: Various entities notice hundreds of Podesta and DNC emails are missing from recent leaks, accessed with direct entry.
Nov 8th: Trump wins.
Nov 12th: Assange meets with Swedish prosecutor regarding rape allegations, lawyers barred from attending, meeting conducted via an Equadorian ambassador (not face to face).
Nov 14th: Wikileaks releases insurance files, SHA-256 hashes do not match those tweeted in October.
Nov 19th: Wikileaks twitter account denies the authenticity of a post claiming to be from a WL staffer and saying WL was compromised
Nov 19th: Riseup's canary update has been overdue for 3 days, indicating strongly they have been compromised and were issued a gag order.
EDIT: add to that the fact Riseup.net hasn't updated their canary (due a few days ago), suggesting they were compromised and gagged, and thus that the WL twitter account was compromised (Riseup provides the email WL uses for its Twitter account).
Edit2: added the Nov 19 bullet (WL twitter account denies allegations made on chan)
Edit3: added the 2 Riseup events (Oct 22 and Nov 23). See also this alternate (presumably improved/corrected) timeline. And this. Also the Tod and Clare attack on Assange happened in September.

OMG thank you so much we have to spread this.
what does this mean
27 [deleted] 2016-11-19
Somebody took the keys to Assange's dead man insurance file out of its nice box (ie, they found the message in the block chain, even though people tried discrediting it).
Then, someone took the key and threw it in a giant haystack to make sure people wouldn't find it (ie, intelligence agencies flooded the blockchain with tons of transactions).
And now, those keys are really, really hard to find and we need super smart people to try and find them. They're still there, though.
5 101101101101101000 2016-11-19
got ya thanks for makeing it make even more sense :)
5 honestlyimeanreally 2016-11-19
Why would it be hard to find if we know what wikileaks' addresses are?
Or are you saying the government flooded transactions with the same private key? Holy fuck you might be onto something
1 libertyant 2016-11-19
can someone ELI5 - did the 4chaners manage to decrypt some files from the insurance / dead man switch? if so why couldnt they decrypt the rest? or did they only find 1 bit of it? should they have just kept quiet until they finished?
do we actually have the main explosive "tell all dump" somewhere? is it that 350gb torrent?
4 [deleted] 2016-11-19
I think one person managed to decode a message from it, but then they were suppressed and told "it's nothing" a million times.
I have no idea why they couldn't decrypt the rest, and I think they didn't keep quiet because they might've wondered if they were crazy.
I think these are the keys to the "tell all" dump that, if found, could be opened.
1 jonm111 2016-11-19
Maybe i should hang out in 4chan more often
2 [deleted] 2016-11-19
4chan is a giant mindfuck in the best and worst of ways.

Blockchain is the technology underlying bitcoin, i.e. bitcoin is but one application of the blockchain. The blockchain is essentially a distributed, cryptographic ledger.
In particular it offers a great way to distribute an authentifiable, timestamped message which would be virtually impossible to suppress. For example you'd use the OP_RETURN field for doing so.
See https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/OP_RETURN
I haven't personally checked such a message/key was broadcast by WL though. Currently on mobile, will do next week if nobody else debunks/verifies this in the mean time.
4 pepe_silvia67 2016-11-19
This is awesome, thank you. Really puts things in perspective.
I was unable to verify the "HELP HIM" twitter message. I dug through the twitter myself and the letters i found were nonsense. Does anyone have record (dates and times) of the tweets claimed to contain the message?
3 highhandedturtle 2016-11-19
The whole "missing Assange" ordeal was what originally brought me too reddit, and when the errors were spotted I checked through their twitter feed and found them as reported. However, I was new to the whole major conspiracy thing and didn't realize the scope of the whole ordeal and idiotically didn't save them. Haven't recently checked for editing

yeah that was some 4chan post, it should be in the timeline too
5 [deleted] 2016-11-19
I just added it, thks. Also, WL denied the allegation (which actually proves nothing as the allegation was that WL had been compromised, incl its twitter account). Some have even called that denial out-of-character.
1 101101101101101000 2016-11-19
kewl :) glad to contribute. I think this clearly outlines he was taken into custody
1 chickyrogue 2016-11-19
i know ....will there be an entity to rise up out of ashes and recall truth reveals ?
3 101101101101101000 2016-11-19
Whats your thoughts? I have little faith :(
6 chickyrogue 2016-11-19
well when you read that this was written by someone who can actually suffer reprocussions from what they have written you say
damn that person hauls balls [and humanity thanks them]
and also it really points to the surrender of truth justice and what we remember as the american way that we remember or at least at still fighting to retrieve or concieve depending on which side of the equation you are on.....
2 101101101101101000 2016-11-19
Who specifically, the OP?
4 chickyrogue 2016-11-19
This person in the article ===>"I’m one of the 15 WikiLeaks personnel that were raided at the sarne time Julian’s intemet was cut at the Ecuadorian embassy. I was issued a national security letter and a gag order, and all my computer equipment was seized. We had several contingency communication plans in place, and I have been unable to contact Julian or any WikiLeaks personnel except for one through our alternative communication channels."
because of this ====>"I am breaking rny gag order by posting here, and they will try to track me down. I know I am forfeiting rny life by doing this, but I have to warn potential leakers."
3 101101101101101000 2016-11-19
got ya, yeah but he could be a fake
I really am thinking assange is either dead or in custody
2 chickyrogue 2016-11-19
this column a or b is disasterous and in view of what they would do to him if b i almost swear i hope A
2 101101101101101000 2016-11-19
yeah me too
3 chickyrogue 2016-11-19
its so sad really when you think about it but we got to set sights forward and win this one for him essentially so he is not rewritten to their history for him
3 101101101101101000 2016-11-19
:( i just keep realizing how bad this is
I hope he is alive, if we dont hear from him for a year then its def shadow government
2 chickyrogue 2016-11-19
the last time we got to actually see him he looked so weak and frail
is there a year left in him?
3 101101101101101000 2016-11-19
I have no idea. i mean health would deteriorate with lack of exercise/going outside.
The last person to see him alive is Pamela Anderson, who gave him a sandwich. There is the thought that the sandwich was poisoned (knowingly or unknowingly by P.A.)
Its just crazy being able to see the shadow gov at play
1 chickyrogue 2016-11-19
i know welcome to the rabbit hole in real time
what is truth is always a guess of where it sits in your core
1 chickyrogue 2016-11-19
he is inspiration for all of us the roll up our sleaves and work harder to make our path victorious ... no one ever said this was goin to be easier and we are all adults in the room
2 101101101101101000 2016-11-19
true
1 chickyrogue 2016-11-19
that is why we as community there for eachother is so very vital and important to carry all of us forward together the collective for all our kids futures the brightest possible not meagered out from distainful eilites drippin down from ivory [any left?] towers
1 chickyrogue 2016-11-19
remember always truth is power we need to use it
18 GustaveMoreau777 2016-11-19
It sadly seems fairly obvious at this point that something is profoundly wrong. I can't think of a single reason why they would be so hesitant to provide proof-of-life.
I would say Wikileaks is part of their follow-up plan regarding destabilisation of the American transitional process. We'll see I guess. Stay safe.
10 Victory_Rose 2016-11-19
During the DDoS attack, I remember reading something about Twitter being compromised, with a certificate tied to a private .gov domain. Did that turn out to be false? I couldn't find anything else about it yesterday.
1 [deleted] 2016-11-19
Are you talking about Riseup.net canary which failed to be updated?
https://riseup.net/en/canary
That's more recent though than the DDoS against DYN.
6 Victory_Rose 2016-11-19
No, definitely Twitter during the mid-October DDoS. There was a post about Twitter's certificate being valid for *.ic.gov or *.ig.gov (?).
1 GearsForFears 2016-11-19
Also saw that, twitter was compromised through mitm breach, also something was supposedly bridged to the clearnet that should never be bridged to it according to that same thread
9 GearsForFears 2016-11-19
Why's everyone so focused on the US and completely overlooking who the mayor of london is during this whole thing? Something to think about
6 victoriafirefly 2016-11-19
could you elaborate if you don't mind?
4 GearsForFears 2016-11-19
The embassy is located in london, Sadiq Khan strongly endorsed the candidate connected to the podesta leaks, has an interesting personal mandate if you think about his strong support for staying in the eu along with open borders, as well as sharing a platform with a "fundamental" (radical) islamist group
1 Sunny_McJoyride 2016-11-19
Are you suggesting a link between radical islam and the opponents of wikileaks?
3 [deleted] 2016-11-19
Couldn't confirm the misspellings that, put together, would say "help him". Can someone check too, or find the source of that info? If WL staff had received a gag order that'd be an intelligent way to say what's on their mind with plausible deniability (reminds me of when the Truecrypt people discontinued their work and recommended everyone uses Microsoft encryption - i.e. we've been gagged and refuse to backdoor our code so we're stopping everything). Similar thing happened later with the Snowden email provider (Lavabit).
One thing missing from above: Riseup.net hasn't updated their canary a few days ago when it was due (Riseup provides the email for WL twitter account). Look it up.
8 [deleted] 2016-11-19
Not that my anecdotal info matters, but I remember seeing those Tweets misspelled myself.
2 MSparta 2016-11-19
They were, but from memory, they werent the only ones im pretty sure
1 big_face_killah 2016-11-19
Me too
3 [deleted] 2016-11-19
I've said that there are too many moving parts in terms of the number of parties who'd have to play along that he's still alive (lawyers, ambassadors, staff members, Pam Anderson, Pilger, etc)... but I also can't underestimate the power of CIA/UK gag orders done in the name of "national security" or whatever other BS line they give.
There are now far too many coincidences that can't be ignored. This is terrible.

But on the opposite
3 Easier_Still 2016-11-19
I posted the below comment on another timeline on r/whereisassange, and wish to post it here as well, because I believe it is the overt and direct threat that preceded all this:
I believe the timeline should include this document: https://www.wikileaks.org/IMG/pdf/toddandclare-emails-3-sep-2016-to-21-sep-2016.pdf
I think it starts here because the surface content (blackmail, slander) and the ridiculously easy breadcrumbs (ToddandClare et al) were so blatantly amateurish and unbelievable; yet the underlying threats were overt and, I believe designed to communicate directly to JA something much more terrible and dire. They even gave a deadline: Oct 31.
Here is an example of the language used to convey a threat much more serious than slander and blackmail:
"Our source has provided information that Julian’s stay in Ecuador will not be permanent. Exit visas are imminent onto London streets. This dramatic turn of events is planned to have a “spectacular” conclusion. If Julian wishes to avoid ADX Florence, we suggest he considers [etc]"
*WL released this exchange not long before the SHTF
*Who knows about ADX Florence by name besides letter-agencies
2 shit_tyrone 2016-11-19
Can you elaborate on this whole email string? It's really odd and confusing to me. Is ToddandClare even a real business?
2 Easier_Still 2016-11-19
No, it was a very fake business, and far too easily proved as such. There are threads on Reddit that show its associations/fakery far better and more thoroughly than I could explain here. Maybe someone will chime in with a link to the maps of what was traced.
It was the amateurish language and absurd proposals in the email chain that really got my attention. It all seemed too fake, and I think the fakeness was a cover for the real threats.
JA must receive all kinds of crackpot bullshit--why would he have even responded to or tweeted this one unless he knew there was something more serious in there than met the eye?
2 Easier_Still 2016-11-19

October 15 is last embassy cat tweet.
2 FUCK_YOU_REDDIT_CUNT 2016-11-19
There's no photos / cut off streams / periscopes of this?
8 voodoofed 2016-11-19
There's no evidence because it's made up. It's disinformation, it didn't happen. This the middle of London, and there's not a single photo of a swat raid on an embassy? Give me a break
2 xL02DzD24G0NzSL4Y32x 2016-11-19
I did see periscope feeds around the embassy cut off and someone had a map that showed no one was broadcasting near it even though people were confirming they were. However I did not look much into it other than a few posts.
But excluding all the "proof", all the weird coincidences, the only 100% fact we have is that Assange is making proof of life very difficult to achieve and by doing so it is damaging the reputability of WikiLeaks. I cant see why anyone in Julians position wouldnt make it known to the public that he was safe, especially after all the fishiness thats been going on. I think hes dead. I hope hes not, but him being so weirdly reluctant to give us proof of life does nothing but confirm my suspicions.
2 [deleted] 2016-11-19
Can you elaborate? I'll delete it if it's wrong. Thanks!
1 FUCK_YOU_REDDIT_CUNT 2016-11-19
They said a G4S van, no? I recall that one van near wall on the poor guy's tea-scope but yeah my impression of this is: all the paranoia is driven by something, to distract, and making more paranoia on their end?
I think there were longer periods that Assange never went to a window

Maybe to add - in addition to the canary update missing, on Oct 22nd Riseup.net deleted the ability to verify certificates on a number of their domains, which was unprecedented for them:

No way he escaped
1 MSparta 2016-11-19
one thing i'd like to note, from what I understand, at least one of the security backups has if something goes wrong and WL gets comprimised should have the decrypted files. From what I've read the hashes are claimed to be from the decrypted files, so the only way to identify if the hashes are real for the insurance files is to be one of the ones who have the decrypted files. That is also assuming the hashes are from the decrypted files, so they could have been randomly made, the encrypted files can have been modified, or the ones in control of WL have access to the decrypted files, or WL had the hashes for the decrypted files laying around.
Im pretty sure none of this isnt easily confirmable or if not at all

I was online at the time it happened. People asked the same question you did only an hour or two later, and most links, even by then were broken. They were quick to delete anything involved. I wish I had screencapped some stuff, but I was busy tracking flightradar at the time. But I do recall seeing images of white vans (at least 3) with armed security, escorting a man with a black hood over his head. There was also an audio recording of a man calling the embassy asking about Assanges well-being, and the lady sounded very off about the whole thing. I am still constantly surprised that a crowd hasn't gathered at the Embassy, but I recall a lot of people at the time saying they were heading down there to look, and never following up on it. The whole thing is just so fucking weird, it gives me chills.

Really good timeline, but I'm not entirely sure if its correct that the Wikileaks twitter has never had typos. I don't have proof at the moment, but typos aren't uncommon. I have it set so my phone gets notifications whenever Wikileaks tweets and I notice typos every few days (don't know if this is true prior to Podesta leaks though).

The huge file drop where they changed all the dates to 1984,
Had those files already dropped with all the original dates? Has anyone looked to see if there is a file with that exact 1984 date in that non fiddled with drop of all these files? Something that might be more important now Or even just 1984 actually dated files. Please tell me someone saved them all before they were redropped with the gag date.
