Julian Assange: "We're going to fuck them all... crack the world open and let it flower into something new. WikiLeaks may become the most powerful intelligence agency on earth, an intelligence agency of the people."

If you haven't seen We Steal Secrets yet, it's definitely worth watching. Whistleblowers are heroes of the people and the enemy of governments.
Edit: I think I should have clarified by saying that this quote is from We Steal Secrets which came out in 2013. This isn't a new Assange statement so don't be disappointed if they don't drop anything... but if I remember correctly Feb 19 might be the day we get the info on Vault 7... not getting my hopes up but that would be prettttty sweet.

When does he plan on doing that?

Aye. I'm a big fan of wikileaks/Assange but I get the feeling he's liking the attention and wants to be at the centre of it all...
n/a WarSanchez 2017-02-17
Also, he withholds info. I'd just like if for someone. ANYONE at this point gives us the whole truth as hurtful as it is, instead of the edited version they want us to see.
n/a BerniesSublime 2017-02-17
He actually said they never sit on information. Stop spreading lies and fake news.
n/a WarSanchez 2017-02-17
Setting deadlines then dropping disappointing info which lacks the gravity that was built up for it. Withholding info as deadman security switch under encrypted key.
Really, those are CLEAR ways of withholding info. They don't need the build up spanning weeks of hint drops. Their audience is large enough to where they can drop info and get it trending and spreading IMMEDIATELY.
n/a cannibaloxfords 2017-02-17
deadman switch is insurance against assassination
Slow drip leaks are better than a ton of files all at once
n/a WarSanchez 2017-02-17
He's in a room with nowhere to run. Like that is literally his position.
So he can do one of two things:
Call up Trump and say this info will lock away bad people let's work something out, which looks like he's fucked either way.
Or he releases the info and let's people know the truth about who is after him and why.
Like how long can you hold that granade cooking before either no one cares or it is too late to put anyone away for it.
n/a cannibaloxfords 2017-02-17
How is he going to do that without NSA listening in? See the problem
Its a game of strategy. For example he leaked DNC stuff slow to ruin Hillary cause if she won it would have been another vicious globalist puppet screwing the country. And now, there are other factors going on: deepstate/mossad/Saudi's/MSM Propagnada/PedoGate and all sorts of stuff, he has to pick his releases wisely
n/a 1nfiniteJest 2017-02-17
I hate HRC with a passion. She is a criminal and a liar and possibly a murderer, who has no convictions (moral nor legal[unfortunately]). She is as greedy and corrupt as any of them. And yet....and I can't believe I'm saying this... I would feel so much safer with that lying cunt as our President. Not even a month in, and this administration has proven its utter incompetence beyond all expectations.
n/a deleteme123 2017-02-17
Can't say it ain't waking up Americans.
n/a SouthTampon 2017-02-17
He has only had a month in office. Regardless of who won the election, If you didn't expect things to get worse before they get better, you are incredibly naive.
n/a 1nfiniteJest 2017-02-17
My point exactly...
Hillary might be shady as fuck, but she can comport herself in the manner befitting the POTUS. Instead, we get twitter rants, a white supremacist as an adviser, along with a cabinet full of so much conflicted interests its gone way beyond irony. He tweets like a petulant child, willing to be drawn into the most childish disagreements. He still has the Spice Worm arguing that his inauguration crown "was like, wayyyyy bigger than anyone elses. Also Hillary rigged the election."
Political viewpoints aside, what we've seen of trump thusfar are not the actions of someone who has a clean bill of mental health. Listen, I was admitedly happy when I heard he won, hoping against hope that he would drop his ' campaign persona' and do a great job running the country. It became immediately apparent however, that what many mistook for a persona was, in reality how he is. He clearly suffers from Narcissistic PD. He became addicted to holding his rallies and hearing people cheering his name. In fact, he's holding another one in the upcoming week! I wish it were different man, I really do, but he is so far out of his depth, and it's becoming increasingly more obvious.
This doesn't even touch upon Russia, Flynn, lies lies and more lies, as well as the debacle at the airports, trying to deny entry to people with greencards. But according to God Emperor Cheeto II, it was flawless. A well oiled machine.... And the SCARIEST PART, anyone who says otherwise is spreading 'FAKE NEWS' trying to make him look bad. All those polls about 55% of the country strongly disapproving of his actions thus far? FAKE NEWS. I honestly believe that's the only way his fragile ego can remain intact.

Hey, just because you think arming Saddam Hussein, and Osama bin Laden in the '80s is no big deal does not mean that the information is disappointing.
n/a WarSanchez 2017-02-17
But we already knew that. Anyone who actually cares about this stuff already was spreading that information.
n/a 037_Engineering 2017-02-17
We didnt know the US is arming ISIS. What if you knew in real time that bin Laden was attacking US citizens and planning attacks in the US while we were arming the Mujahideen? That is far from underwhelming. If Trump did it he would be drawn and quartered already.
n/a WarSanchez 2017-02-17
ISIS is a branch of Al Qaeda
https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-differences-between-Al-Qaeda-and-the-Islamic-State-of-Iraq-and-Syria-ISIS-How-do-the-two-groups-compare-Why-did-the-two-groups-split
Reagan armed them. We have been arming them. We've been arming "Guerrilla" groups and Cartels in the Americas for many decades. Anyone that doesn't see the US fingerprints in stuff like this without wikileaks doesn't care enough want something to change.
n/a 037_Engineering 2017-02-17
Youre right its absolutely nothing. No biggie. Thanks for pointing that out. ISIS is just an arm of the US military and even though they kill US citizens. Not a problem and literally everyone knows this is happening. And everyone approves. Youre right.
n/a WarSanchez 2017-02-17
If people cared they would be working together to stoo this. Electing one guy and posting haahtags don't change the situation we are in. Getting involved is the only way to stop it. Idk why you're getting an attitude about this. People don't care. Go talk to people about this, they'll go, "Oh, ok cool" and go on about their day.
n/a 037_Engineering 2017-02-17
So why would you normalize it yourself?
n/a WarSanchez 2017-02-17
You are DENSE...
I am not normalizing it. It just doesn't surprise me.
n/a silkenindiana 2017-02-17
Ok, but if anyone needs a dead mans switch it's him/Wikileaks. In fact, I would say it would be impossible to pull off what they have without one. It is a pragmatic use of withholding info, nothing sinister about it.
n/a WarSanchez 2017-02-17
I understand that 100%.
I guess my personal feelings of putting everything out there and letting the truth be know get in the way of backing that type of action. Not that I'm condemning him for it. I'm just whining cus I want to know.
n/a silkenindiana 2017-02-17
Ya, now that I can relate to. I bet it's fucking juicy haha.
n/a Disrupturous 2017-02-17
That's controlling it's dissemination not with-holding info. Granted he's got an agenda but the only "disappointing" one he did was one shameless self promotion. He releases it all eventually. He is human plus he's been on de facto house arrest for 4 years. He needs all the leverage he can get.
n/a ryencool 2017-02-17
Because the truths arent all of the insane shit that yall have cooked up in your heads, and a way for him tonstay relevant. Thats the truth.

I don't subscribe to the crazy theories. I think I have a pretty sensible approach to how the world works and the USA's "influence" on the rest of the world.

I think he said he does withhold if people's lives are in danger.
n/a GulliverDark 2017-02-17
What about all the kid's that are being eaten and disssolved in acid? People's lives are in danger? Bullshit. People are already DYING. Every single day. Drop the information. He scrubs it bone clean, then releases it like he has done some great service to humanity. Meanwhile, he is probably sitting on the most important information of the last 2 thousand years.
THE VERY IDEA OF SECRECY IS REPUGNANT
Let's roll. Release the goods. Stop trying to be a celebrity. If you actually cared about disseminating information, you would probably, oh I don't know, do more DISSEMINATING INFORMATION.
n/a skaNerd 2017-02-17
this right fucking here.
although, he probably knows that he'll be taken out as soon as certain shit is dropped.
n/a Im_Justin_Cider 2017-02-17
this right fucking here.
If he drops everything, he will have no protection, wikileaks will be swiftly dealt with, and you'll have no more truths, all because you got greedy and gobbled up all the truth before supper
n/a suspiciouscamel 2017-02-17
He probably has to wait until he has new information damaging enough to still protect him if he releases the other information. A game of counterbalance if you will.

If that's true then he either dies a hero or live long and becomes (part of the problem of deception and secrecy).

I have to imagine he has a VERY tough job. He can't just release information without verifying it, or his credibility is ruined. Trying to verify secret information with a limited amount of trusted individuals, while remaining secret has to be ridiculously tough. I'm sure that I don't have the patience and tenacity to do that.
n/a felixlivesagain 2017-02-17
Right? I mean imagine how much disinformation must get "leaked" to him to try to ruin him. If he just released every leak without verification he'd release some bullshit then what would he be?

I have some completely confidential super secret leaked info that next to no one knows about who is going to say it is or isn't true?

n/a selux 2017-02-17
There is no God. Authority is an illusion. Governments exist to make money off the people and keep them from uprising. Money is an illusion, a trick played on us all. Some agency, somewhere, has records of everything you've ever done or said on the phone or online. This is the only life we have, and we let soulless old rich men set policies that effect us but not them. The police exist as the strong arm of the government. The water we drink has unnatural additives that mess with out brain chemistry, much like our food. We have been conditioned to think we are in competition with one another, but the elites have long known that when the people work together and take care of each other, we have no need for their version of authority. The wars that we fight in are really about population control, money, and resources.
What did I miss?
n/a another_fatcyst 2017-02-17
When you die you don't go to heaven and you don't go to hell and you don't go anywhere because you're fucking dead.
We have "souls" as in we have sentience, but we don't have souls that exist separate from our physical bodies. So your soul doesn't go anywhere at death. It just doesn't exist anymore.
Oh, and there is no purpose to existence. It's just one of those things that happens.

n/a Charleybucket 2017-02-17
It's obvious that you were implying that what you were stating was fact based on the context of the comment chain that you were responding to. If you had stated, as a matter of fact, that humans have eternal souls, I would have had the same reaction.

Souls should theoretically have energy, no? Since energy can never be created, nor destroyed, it doesn't make sense that your soul would disappear upon death.
n/a brutay 2017-02-17
Energy can be transformed though. If 100% of the soul's energy is converted into heat, then the soul has effectively been erased.
n/a z77s 2017-02-17
There is absolutely no substantial proof that says there is or is not a soul or afterlife. Hell we don't even know if we are the only life in our own solar system, and our oceans remain vastly unexplored. Our depth of human knowledge is so small we may never answer questions like these.
n/a another_fatcyst 2017-02-17
Of course there isn't.
But you know what?
Religions and ideologies that claim things such as the existence of souls were created by charlatans who didn't believe their own bullshit and sold it to everyone else who eagerly bought it because it justified their existence. It gave them meaning and saved them from nihilism.
So for the sake of pragmatism- is it better to believe in such things, or not?
Well the people the people who don't believe- the nihilists- are the ones running the world. The people who do believe are their pets. And there IS PLENTY of evidence to support that.
It's like gravity. You do realize that gravity is just a theory? We can't prove gravity does or doesn't exist, at least not at this point. But the functionally practical thing based on all evidence we do have is to work as though gravity does indeed exist.
We can't prove souls do or don't exist but what we can do is look at the people claiming to have proof to know that they exist and we can look at the evidence they. As you said, there is no evidence they do. And there is evidence that they people who want to claim they exist are charlatans.
With this knowledge it's more pragmatic to go through life as if it's the only one you'll ever have. Waiting for a better existence after life is exactly what keeps people from making the biggest impact they can in this one.
n/a gavin_freemason 2017-02-17
Many, many things wrong with what you just said.
First and foremost, "Theory" in scientific contexts does not mean "hypothesis" like it does in layman usage. A scientific theory is a rigorous model which aligns with experimental observations and makes accurate predictions. Nothing in science gets the label "Theory of X" without a mountain of supporting data.
Furthermore, you're not even right in saying gravity is "just a theory". Gravity is a natural law. We directly observe the effects of gravity literally everywhere we look in the universe, from things falling out of our hands to the movements of heavenly bodies. We have even correctly predicted that gravity affects the path of a beam of light, and a wealth of observation backs that prediction.
What is a theory - and not "just" a theory, mind you - is the Theory of Gravitation, which is our explanatory model for how gravity works. So far we have not been able to disprove this model. There is still the matter of directly observing a force mediator for gravity, as all other known fundamental forces are mediated by some particle, but the current model is backed by so much experimental data that it is highly unlikely that it will ever be overturned, only modified. Even still, the finite probability that the model may be overturned by some radical observation doesn't change the fact that the phenomenon of gravity itself is a natural law, not a theory.
In closing, read a book.
n/a another_fatcyst 2017-02-17
First of all, I know what a theory is. Calm your tits.
Secondly what I was actually referring to was the general theory of relativity, which is how we describe gravity.
Finally, you're missing the point entirely because you're stuck up your own ass.
In closing, grow up.
n/a gavin_freemason 2017-02-17
You literally don't. You're trying to claim gravity is a theory. It isn't. It's a natural law.
This has to be the single biggest bullshit backpedal I have ever seen on this site. "Uhhhh clearly I was talking about this tying I never mentioned nor alluded to that can not in any way be inferred from the text of my post!"
In any case, GR is so well-supported that even if that's what you meant (it wasn't), you'd still be wrong in the argument "it's just a theory! We can't know!" because its predicated upon a complete misunderstanding of what a theory is in scientific contexts.
Speak for yourself, friendo.
Again, speak for yourself.

Missed a big one: The true shape of the plane-t. Sounds fucking ridic but all you need to do is just a little research with an open mind. Forget the indoctrination, the mind control since birth. Globes are pushed on us even before we can read. Symbols are power and we are run by occultist who know this. I offer one proof and it should be enough evidence for YOU to do your own research. No matter how high you go on the plane, the horizon always stays flat and stays at eye level. This is it. This is the only evidence anyone should need. This is an impossibility on a sphere. If we believe the ancients had higher technology and a better understanding of our world then why not believe them on this? Egyptians, mayans, they all knew it. Before you call me retarded, stupid, imbecile, look for yourself. Search weather balloon flights on YouTube. Make sure that they are not using a fish eye lenses. Even if they do use a fish eye, the horizon with flex. It will go from concave, to flat, to convex and back again. This is only possible with a straight line. I never thought I'd say this publicly, but search it for yourself if you think I'm wrong. And again, remember that the globe symbol goes deep in you. All the way back to birth. Keep an eye out and check out how often you see it. It is pushed on us from everywhere.
Also, there is a lot of misinformation out there to keep you off track. The flat earth society is just that. You find one piece that doesn't fit or isn't right and you say, see! This is bullshit! And you go back to your old way of thinking. This is a psy-op on a massive scale. Yes there are holes, no I have no clue what the model of our world really looks like. But I do know what I've researched. Operation high jump, operation fishbowl, Antarctica being off limits, multiple countries (including US & Russia) signing a treaty to keep Antarctica off limits during the Cold War, Russia & the US sending nuclear warheads straight up for something like 5 years.

You do realise the cruising altitude of a passenger airliner is about 40000 feet and the circumference of the earth is 40000 kms right? There are 3280 feet in a kilometre. So when you're 40000 feet up in a passenger jet you are 1/3280th of the earth's circumference above sea level. What are you expecting to see big picture wise?
n/a fluffjfc 2017-02-17
I'm not talking about passenger airliners. Look at high altitude weather balloons. There are videos on YouTube where they get up to 121k feet. By simple geometry that should be enough height to see the curve. There isn't one. It's perfectly straight. Or, if you do see a curve it'll flex. Going from concave, to straight, to convex and back and forth. The only way that is possible is with a straight line. In fact, if you take the high altitude Red Bull jump video and compare it side by side with a weather balloon video at the same altitude you can clearly see manipulation. Fish eye lenses work wonders for creating curves
n/a NotNowImOnReddit 2017-02-17
My question.... why?
Why would "they" work so diligently and tirelessly to keep the entirety of humanity convinced that the world is round? What purpose would it serve?
I'm not trying to take a dig on you here, I'm genuinely curious why you think "they" would focus their attention on something that seems like such a mundane, unimportant thing.
Who cares if the earth is round or flat? What would be the danger in the population realizing the earth is flat (if it actually were)? Or, perhaps a better question... what would be the benefit of convincing everyone that the earth is round?

Did they, though? Or was Assange snatch-and-grabbed out of the embassy, and a massive DDoD attack then happened to kill the dead mans switch.

He wants attention to the leaks, not himself.
All you fuckers saying he's about money or fame are being willfully ignorant or blatantly misleading.
n/a SomeTexasRedneck 2017-02-17
Okay then why doesn't he release everything?

Or anything?
n/a ATXHTX80 2017-02-17
Wtf are you talking about, he's released a ton of shit over the last year
n/a DIYdemon 2017-02-17
I haven't seen anything substantive since the POL debacle. Maybe I have been relying on Reddit too much for this info. I know he's done interviews and whatnot, but that's not releasing info.
n/a zagreos 2017-02-17
That doesn't bother me. Julian Assange promotion to celebrity status through the alternate media, and the increased attention that he receives as a result = increased public awareness of Wikileaks = increased knowledge of the information leakages published on Wikileaks = a more red-pilled voting population.

These two comments sums up reddit quite well.

"Don't expect it to happen because nothing happens, I'm going to be a negative influence somewhere else now"
n/a junkeee999 2017-02-17
So by your logic I can never be critical of Obama or Trump or any other politician, because at least they're trying to run the country while I am not.
Yeah that makes perfect sense.
n/a I_reply_to_dumbasses 2017-02-17
Yeah, actually. I mean you can try to be critical. But it doesn't mean shit.
n/a grewenerest 2017-02-17
"Don't hold your breath".
Maybe you'd like to take on the powerful people and the powerful countries that Assange has taken on?
If you had Assange's pressures for 5 minutes, you'd fold your cards and run home to mama.

Fine. But it still doesn't change the fact that he's being a bit of a huckster now. Sorry if that offends you.

n/a FartOnToast 2017-02-17
They have been releasing information slowly but surely and Assange even explained the purpose of this and it makes perfect sense. I'd say it's pretty ignorant to state that Wikileaks hasn't done anything big yet. Look at how far we have gotten thanks to them.
I don't understand how comments like these that totally disrespect all the hard work they've been doing make it to the top. Don't disrespect my hero like that anymore

jullian is the top.
And on the outside he,s seen as the main key.
But there is a whole lot more to Wikileaks then julian alone.
He,s the diamond that shine,s and attracts the focus of those around the world.
But the place and the mechanics behind him that puts him on show for all to see are way more complex then the simple shiny diamond
n/a junkeee999 2017-02-17

n/a No8145 2017-02-17
It's a shame because this kind of thing will turn a lot of people off the important work that groups like wikileaks have done / are doing.
All these years locked up in the embassy, the exponential rise in fame/exposure while also being completely isolated from the rest of the world, almost literally living in the I Internet and then being cut off for months. The threat of being ejected from the embassy after the Equador election... I think it's getting to him and he's losing it a bit. Whoever is in control of the wikileaks twitter account isn't doing him any favours either.
n/a EricCarver 2017-02-17
This guy has done more and sacrificed more than you will ever - all for the sake of justice and getting truth out. So for you to joke about it, it's a little ugly.
n/a junkeee999 2017-02-17
No. It really isn't. He sounds at times like an attention whore. It's just fact. He could just release stuff instead of pimping and promoting it for weeks first. But he loves that spotlight.
n/a Birkens 2017-02-17
He might like the attention (I would as well), but your wording comes across kinda disrespectful. I agree with u/ericcarver , he sacrifies so much still to this day, he deserves better.
n/a YouSaidWut 2017-02-17
Isn't he only sacrificing because he wants to be the image of Wikileaks? He could've remained anonymous right?
n/a drwooo 2017-02-17
you need at least some spotlight to do anything today really. there is no wikileaks without assange and that is a fact, even if it is a cia front ... in fact, who captured him or killed him or whatever if not cia?
n/a Birkens 2017-02-17

n/a Birkens 2017-02-17
He could have, I guess he wanted fame for what he is doing. And in hindsight I bet you he would give ANYTHING for having stayed anonymous. Surely you would agree that giving up freedom, being shamed as a rapist and having fear for life is no substitute for fame.

He's glory whored the entire thing, and he's admitted that he's released leaks on a time sensitive basis for maximum impact.
He may very well be a liberator of information, but he has an agenda, and he's a manipulator.
n/a Birkens 2017-02-17
Yeah, but wouldn't you agree, regardless of him enjoying the spotlight and trying to maximise impact for wikileak's (or other agendas') benefits, his work did A LOT good for the world and he sacrifices a lot? He doesn't deserved to be mocked imo.

Sure, the wikileaks site shows 58660 emails yet there is actually 59258 emails on the system.. some of which don't appear in count.
The wikileaks twitter tweeted on 8th october, at the beginning of their release that "We have published 1% of the #PodestaEmails so far. Additional publications will proceed throughout the election period."
https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/784787441437859840
On 8th oct there was only 4146 emails released - if such is 1%, then 100% is 414600.

He's been on the balcony before. Now that the election is over, his chances of being waxed by a sniper are lessened than when he's been out there before.
n/a crielan 2017-02-17
It is indeed very strange. However knowing how big of a narracist he is I could see him not doing that just so people keep talking about him.
He loves the limelight and with everything going on and the elections over most people have forgotten about him.
I do hope he is okay though. Everything about it is just weird.

n/a cthrowno 2017-02-17
There's just no way. My DMS would have redundancy across Tor and I2P and I don't have enemies at the state level. I'm not saying he's not dead, I'm just saying you're not stopping a DMS if it doesn't want to be stopped, much less by a DoS via DNS. If we're entertaining the notion that Assange is dead, my guess is the DMS leaks keys to the blockchain. That's what I'd do.
n/a crielan 2017-02-17
You'd think he knows better but sometimes his arrogance gets the best of him. This is the same reason Hillary had a private server and how Flynn was caught on monitored phone lines.
And Nixon recording his crimes. These are all people who should absolutely know better but still end up doing stupid things. I just hope he actually does have a off-site secure backup.
PS. Please don't get distracted by the names I used for examples. They are just some names that most people are familiar with.
n/a rodental 2017-02-17
There have been several prerecorded interviews and a live video AMA. I wouldn't go so far as to say that proves he's alive, but they would honestly be pretty hard to fake. The Morais interview in particular seems like it would be tough to fake. That said, I personally believe he's alive, but suspect he's now working for the CIA.
n/a 1nfiniteJest 2017-02-17
In the video AMA he recited the characters from the latest bitcoin blockchain transaction

I get that, but I was there. I was there when the mystery internet attack happened and all the weirdness surrounding the embassy that day, then I was still there when we were all clamoring for some shred of proof that the was ok, then I was still there watching as we were bombarded with bizarre attempts to offer that proof, and through it all, there's just been a noticeable change that's taken place in Wikileaks. I don't know if he's still alive or not, but I definitely feel like they got to him, somehow.

n/a MollyNostrils23 2017-02-17
Pam pops iin for lunch. RT get threatened with having bank accounts frozen (or did, can't recall), city airport is evacuated briefly, Assange goes missing, the rest of the emails never came and Clinton has a chat with somebody important for a while in a plane on the tarmac.
Yeah... What was in those other emails was probably enough to cause civil unrest in the US. I think somebody thought it was wiser to cover for Clinton & Co and bury whatever really damaging shit it was forever.

n/a Langweile 2017-02-17
Exactly the opposite actually, I'm suggesting you absolutely can be affected by things by experiencing them first-hand but that "first-hand" doesn't include behind a computer screen.
n/a jonnyredshorts 2017-02-17
I would disagree. Events like the Arab Spring would be my first example, people all over the world were affected by videos and news received online. Only a few hundred people witnessed JFK’s assassination, but hundreds of millions were affected just by the mere knowledge of the event. On and on, endless examples throughout history show this.

If that were true, why would everyone around him be keeping quiet. The only answer I've been given is "they were threatened ". I don't buy that. I don't believe all of those people would keep quiet. Pilger, his lawyer, his family, wl staff?
n/a Haurboss 2017-02-17
Assange has a dead mans switch. If he was captured or killed all his info would've dumped. It hasn't...........He's still alive
CIA is great but they cant kill everyone ever connected to Assange that could possibly be the one holding his info ready to be leaked the minute he's dead. CIA would've also had to take out WikiLeaks staff to assume control of their site and Twitter
That's just too much.......
n/a WheredAllTheNamesGo 2017-02-17
Why would the CIA even kill Assange? Let's say the CIA hates leaks - seems reasonable enough - and hates leakers in particular. The last thing they'd want to do is kill Assange or do away with Wikileaks. Someone might replace it with some sort of transparent, anonymous, open-source solution. Instead, we've got Assange and Wikileaks - people subject to criticism, people with agendas, no transparency, one well-known organization to monitor diligently, etc. Assange and Wikileaks present an opportunity to governments around the world - leaks are going to happen, may as well know who is most likely to receive them.
n/a Haurboss 2017-02-17
I have no doubt what so ever if the CIA could, they would have Assange in a torture chamber right now trying to get every last bit of information out of him
Plus ya know.............Theres the whole rumor Assange knows what really happened on 9/11 such as the CIA is involved. Something like that would obviously be enough reason for them to want him dead
n/a scott5280 2017-02-17
They could offer him a better life though. Every man would sell out for security and bliss. Would you risk your life for the people if the alternative was a life of wealth and luxury? I like to think I would but then again...
n/a sper_jsh 2017-02-17
My opinion, which is just an opinion and is no more than that, is that there was a lot of activity behind the scenes involving the US government, Ecuador, and possibly/probably Russia. I don't think Assange was captured or killed. I just think that something got to him and he has to play his cards a bit differently now.
Of course, it makes a better Tom Clancy narrative if we believe he's been killed and the CIA is running Wikileaks now.
n/a seipounds 2017-02-17
Speaking of Tom Clancy, stevepieczenik.com may interest you if you haven't already heard of him. He worked with Clancy on a couple of his books and more interestingly had some things to say about Clinton and others before the election (when I discovered him). Check his videos around then, quite the rabbit hole given his history and career...
n/a dogcomplex 2017-02-17
Yeah but - consider the other highly likely possibility at the time: all that mess was created in order to make Julian Assange seem less credible by making it seem like he was compromised/captured. That was done so at a critical time when the integrity of wikileaks was hugely important. As he puts it (and as was said at the time by other conspirators) it was a "black PR campaign", and one which he had no control over (no ability to definitively give proof that couldn't be countered by black-PR trolls that didn't involve him having an active internet connection for live-streaming). There's a strong case for a group associated with the Clintons cutting his internet and causing all that mess in order to discredit him at a critical time - for little consequence (nothing illegal or dangerous PR e.g. killing him). It was an easy win - all the discrediting, minus the martydom. Once he's finally back, all people can whine about is how the poor guy didn't have internet for a few months. Big human rights complaint, there.
I dunno. With the livestream, I'm convinced he's alive and well. Maybe compromised still, but... eh, he always could have been. He continues to say and do important things, that's all anyone can hope for.
n/a PohatuNUVA 2017-02-17
and the ama :)
n/a an_account_of_sorts 2017-02-17
He's also done 2 interviews. The Fox anchor one is legit imo. Both in frame, no blend cuts, they discuss ongoing things post his internet cut.
n/a cuch_a_sunt 2017-02-17
In the Hannity interview, when they are both in the same shot, you can see that Assange is actually STANDING, and has his hands on some sort of table, which actually looks like his legs if you dont pay attention. You can also pretty easily see that Hannity and JA are not looking at eachother. Something is definitely up.
n/a okpostman 2017-02-17
This is WRONG.
http://www.vosizneias.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/wiki-hanity.jpg
Julian was on a stool of some kind, it was simply higher than Hannity's. Did you watch the interview at all, wtf? a table?
I don't know if he's in the embassy or not but you're wrong about him standing with a table.
n/a robaloie 2017-02-17
THat hannity interview was ridiculous. The most absurd camera angles, weird shots and colors. You can't for one second justify the fact they have indeed doctored the RT interview what's from stopping them now with these shorty quality interviews

Listen man, I've been following the shit too. I am uncertain whether Julian is safe or not.
But disinformation is disinformation, and it's always harmful. Saying he was standing, saying there was a table. Wtf? And that post had UPVOTES. No wonder everyone talks about the Mandela effect, it's probably actually the effects of flouride, gmo, glyphosate destroying the brains memory functions.
And by the way, I get that you're excited, but attributing straw man arguments always makes you look bad to those with decent reading comprehension. Did I say a thing about the RT interview? Or, the overall validity of any interview?
The only stance I took was that there was no table. R E A D.
n/a robaloie 2017-02-17
What straw man arguments? I never argued about a table. I live in city that does not fluoridate the water. And I don't eat gmo
n/a schnazy 2017-02-17
No fluoridation huh? You're so trust worthy
n/a okpostman 2017-02-17
he only brought it up because I did first.. lol
n/a okpostman 2017-02-17
I never tried to. Your tone and substance of the post completely implies that I disagree with assange being gone. I don't.
n/a robaloie 2017-02-17
Then why waste time? If you agree?
n/a okpostman 2017-02-17
Because disinformation is disinformation.
n/a robaloie 2017-02-17
So your wasting my time with disinformation?
n/a okpostman 2017-02-17
Wow. I've been nice to you. But you are truly an idiot.
n/a cuch_a_sunt 2017-02-17
Okay, yes, your shot makes more sense than my table argument. Was that pic from the real interview, because i think what made it look like he is standing maybe is the big blue line at the bottom, that has other news on it etc. I stand corrected.
What a clusterfuck WL has been since Octorber.
n/a okpostman 2017-02-17
Certainly a strange interview. I just hope assange is OK but naturally I am skeptical.
I suppose an explanation could be, that it's a small room, limited space in the embassy, and rather than have two of the same chairs in the study, it's better to have two different chairs. That's about all I can think of as far as why the interview was filmed like that.
BUT that's not even to mention all of the other questionable things around Julian. All of it, taken in the context that we have, certainly presents us with a very very odd body of evidence to draw conclusions from.
n/a rodental 2017-02-17
I believe he's done 6 or 7 since Oct. 2016.
n/a tacotherapy 2017-02-17

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohmajJTcpNk
n/a an_account_of_sorts 2017-02-17
Yeah I'm here for the same thing most other people are, conspiracies lol I just believe he's alive based on what I've seen.
Look at rogue one and the CGI admiral, that was super expensive, I doubt the government would be able to pull off convincingly what even Lucas arts couldn't.
Maybe they could make a mask, have someone wear it and create his voice convincingly in software but I work in production and the timeline to pull that off between when Hannity went to London and the interview would be tricky unless they made it well in advance so maybe someone can rewatch it and see what the most recent event he discussed was and extrapolate how much production time they would've had to pull something like that off.
I'm skeptical for those reasons. By the was the first one was suspicious as all fuck I don't know what was going on there.
n/a BiglyMAGA 2017-02-17
He's definitely a Freemason
n/a wipeout4wh 2017-02-17
It was nice of the Freemasons to leave convenient messages behind to help us expose them. Kind of a stupid plan for a secret organization, though.
n/a BiglyMAGA 2017-02-17
It's always been that way, because they're not a secret organization. They just have secrets.
Anyone can become one, even you, if you want.
As for Trump? No one had really touched upon his masonic influences until this article - he made it hard. But in the end, nothing stays secret forever.
n/a Deman75 2017-02-17
True.
Almost anyone. There are conditions to meet, and interviews to pass. Most good men with a belief in God can have the opportunity to join.
There are no Masonic influences because he's not a Mason.
No joke. Lots of people (rich/famous and otherwise) are Masons, including the Queen of England's husband. Trump doesn't appear toone of them and the stuff you talk about in your article is not how one Mason lets another (or the world at large) know that he is one.

You keep following me around to different subs, insulting my character in the process.
Nothing looks more petty than what you're doing, and it's incredibly unmasonic. You give the entire Order a bad name and reputation, and frankly, you should be ashamed of yourself.
For those who know nothing of Freemasonry, but see your comment, you might just ever put them off petitioning a lodge.
After all, if this is how you treat the research of fellow masons, how do you think they'll feel as strangers?
Lodges are supposed to be places of acceptance for all races and creeds. You should honestly turn in your card, because you're tarnishing the entire order.

n/a Jewel_Runner_VR 2017-02-17
So many promises. He promised to bring forth evidence that would imprison HRC many times during the election. Look how that turned out. He was presumed captured or dead for months and instead of just making a public statement he did nothing and allowed the people to think Wikileaks had been compromised. I have officially became a Assange skeptic.
n/a OptionalZebra 2017-02-17
He hardly did nothing. For a time his internet was cut off. But even during that time, he done multiple interviews and friends of his made statements saying he was fine.
n/a masgrada 2017-02-17
Which seems really strange.
n/a OptionalZebra 2017-02-17
His friends saying he was fine? If so, then that's just because many people were worried his about safety and/or Wikileaks being compromised.
n/a masgrada 2017-02-17
Do you know his friends? My friends say I'm an astronaut! Doesn't mean it's so.
n/a OptionalZebra 2017-02-17
No it doesn't. But the amount of people, including his mum and interviewers, makes it very unlikely.
n/a Jewel_Runner_VR 2017-02-17
Oh ya? internet being cut off also cuts off your phone? All it took was a simple phone call. People act like his internet being cut off meant he had zero ability to contact the outside world...fuck that. Assange is NSA imho and right now it is a battle between the intelligence communities. NSA vs CIA vs FBI.
n/a OptionalZebra 2017-02-17
He done a phone interview when his internet was cut off so I have no idea why you're saying that? And yes I agree his interviews did seem sketchy considering the circumstances. But his live AMA on Twitch was sufficient proof of life for me. And he said himself there was a Black PR campaign to discredit Wikileaks.
n/a Jewel_Runner_VR 2017-02-17
Jesus im not saying i still think he is dead. im saying i dont trust his information. The way he went about the internet cut off at the embassy really didnt seem quite right. He basically allowed the entire world to doubt wikileaks for a good month.
n/a OptionalZebra 2017-02-17
That's fine not to trust him. I was only arguing your point when you said he did nothing. He had heavy restrictions imposed upon him so he couldn't further intervene with the election. It's entirely possibly he was only allowed to make calls to his family and close friends until they were over, and unable to do any interviews.
n/a Jewel_Runner_VR 2017-02-17
Then why not say that? Why not get a wikileaks post out there stating all of his restrictions? He left it all up in the air. He left people doubting wikileaks as a legitimate source. I followed it all from start to now. He is not a prisoner. He is a free man within the confines of the embassy. He wouldnt even look out his freaking window at the embassy....And whats with Pamela Anderson bringing him lunches? Too much fishy shit for me to take Assange seriously anymore without even taking into account the plethora of false promises.
n/a OptionalZebra 2017-02-17
He's not a prisoner but while he stays there, he stays there under the embassy's terms. He either follows them or they chuck him out. Pamela is involved in many activities (so was likely very interested in getting to know him), she was introduced to him via Vivian Westwood. I don't really see how that's fishy? If she wasn't involved in activism then I'd agree. He has many people visiting him, probably every single day. Compared to some other people she doesn't visit that regularly.
n/a Jewel_Runner_VR 2017-02-17
You arent going to convince me anything. Sorry. There was NEVER a mention of his phone calls being cut off or restricted.
Like i said, all it took was him to shout out a freaking score from a sports game. Instead we got sketchy interviews without any real proof when they were recorded. I feel like im the only one that remembers this sub for the long time it was speculated he was dead or captured. Do we not remember #whereisassange? I mean we had an entire subreddit dedicated to trying to find the truth and there were no conclusions reached. And you are here trying to convince me it was obvious he was ok.
n/a OptionalZebra 2017-02-17
You misunderstand. I did not say his phone was cut off or he had restrictions placed on his calls, I said it's entirely possible though, as we know he had some serious restrictions. I never defined what they were because I don't know. I'm also not trying to convince you he was obviously okay. I'm saying he is okay now. At the time I believed something was up, I followed r/WhereIsAssange from the start. It was only after his Live AMA that I was reassured he was okay. And then look back to see it now makes sense what was going on.
n/a Jewel_Runner_VR 2017-02-17
literally nothing in the interviews he posted over the period of 30+ days made any mention of events that would confirm his well being. Why couldnt he just read a paragraph from a newspaper article or mention a few sports scores? The list goes on as to how he could have confirmed his own well being to the millions of people shitting their pants wondering if he had been killed. He did nothing that would make someone go "yup he is alive" it was all fishy fuckery bullshit
n/a another_fatcyst 2017-02-17
Well going with your theory about the NSA vs CIA vs FBI then I would say Assange is CIA because he worked for the CIA before NSA and then proceeded to leak NSA info to make the NSA look bad.
n/a Jewel_Runner_VR 2017-02-17
That's exactly what the NSA would want you to think! lol
n/a another_fatcyst 2017-02-17

n/a ATXHTX80 2017-02-17
There was enough evidence to convict HRC
n/a Fuego_Fiero 2017-02-17
Yup I'm pretty sure wikileaks was a Russian operation and Assange is a paid agent for the FSB. The timely release of the Podesta emails and his throwing shade on the accusations of Russian interference in the election source make me think that he at least was being manipulated by the FSB.
n/a Jewel_Runner_VR 2017-02-17
Everyone talks about the "deep state" but right now i think there are 2 shadow powers at war. Im slowly being convinced that Trump is not a conventional establishment politician. They continue to attack him in the MSM which never happens after a president wins. To me this is a telling sign that he is in fact pissing some really high profile cunts off.
It almost feels like it is NSA vs CIA with the FBI in between. Assange = NSA, Mainstream media = CIA

It's just the fact that Assange is such a huge fan of Trump and has never released dirt on him that leads me to believe that Trump, Wikileaks and Russia are all on the same page.
Not saying it's fact, but it's just my personal prediction
n/a mrs_bungle 2017-02-17
I don't think he's working on behalf of Russia but his goals are not dissimilar to the Kremlin in that he wishes to decrease US hegemony.
There's a frustrating habit of people to deduce critics of the US to be working in concert with a foreign power.
n/a umbrajoke 2017-02-17
This is just a paycheck for him there is no higher purpose.
n/a LizardsNshit 2017-02-17
By this logic, he's not at the embassy? Because he's been there for a while and I don't think his paycheck would cover the years of loss of freedom. You think he goes home in some suburb after a day's work at an undisclosed CIA headquarters?
n/a Disrupturous 2017-02-17
I am confused about Assange's personal security. The embassy is often bugged and he gets his internet shut off aonetimes, but that's kinda light. Do you think a straight up assassination attempt at the on Ecuadorian property, in central London would be too much of an international incident for the CIA, MI6, etc.?
n/a kilometerfresser 2017-02-17
He might say they never sit on information but they kind of are, no? There's no way they've been tweeting out all those Vault 7 teasers without actually having the information they claim they're going to release.
n/a OptionalZebra 2017-02-17
They don't release the leaks immediately after receiving them. They go through them and plan a method of release for maximum effect.
n/a kilometerfresser 2017-02-17
I guess that would make logical sense. Just seems like it's been hyped up for a while now with nothing to show for it except redditors trying to link all the pictures in the tweets together. I suppose that could be wikileaks' intended goal to gain awareness & if so, has rightfully succeeded haha.
n/a OptionalZebra 2017-02-17
Indeed. I do hope they release something substantial soon. I feel they're starting to drag it along a bit too much now. But you never know what's going on behind the scenes, there could well be circumstances they can't publicly talk about.
n/a kilometerfresser 2017-02-17
Agreed. There is probably a lot going on behind the scenes that we don't know about, especially when having to consider all the possibilities of consequences after releasing it.
n/a OptionalZebra 2017-02-17
Exactly. They have to play it smart and be extremely cautious not to fuck up too badly. If they discredit themselves, then leakers won't feel comfortable going to them and people won't trust whatever they release. Then their whole operation turns to shit.
n/a buffalomurricans 2017-02-17

They have a decade long track record of never releasing a single falsified document.
The problem with 'gimme shit now' media consumption is that it leads to Fox and CNN.
In order to verify all sources, vet everything and everyone, and gather information from whistle blowers, it takes time.
If you want 'news' you can watch TV. If you want news, you have to know where to look, who to trust, and realize it takes time and effort.

Does "friend" mean being blackmailed and controlled by Israel? It's pretty obvious when he said "911 was a distraction" he was a Mossad operative. 911 was a false flag attack by Israel.

n/a paulie_purr 2017-02-17
Traditional communism was a world of the people and not the elites, though the right (rather astutely in many cases) have always asserted its a big con, the ultimate con, in that it's a system in which all aspects of life are determined by the "new bourgeois," usually in dictatorial, monarch-like fashion, and the people must play entirely along or else be destroyed. Freedom = slavery, the dictatorship of the proletariat heavy on the first part. Judging by how Marxism was politically utilized for many years, its detractors had a point.
I guess I'm weary of a claim like Assange's because it could easily be another form of "control by the people," this time in the realm of intelligence. We just cannot know if Wikileaks' curation includes withholding or burying submitted information for Assange's own ends. It's not that hard to conjure-- a scenario in which one man essentially has the ability to topple governments or systems at will, depending on what he chooses to deploy. I hope I'm not right, that Assange doesn't view himself as some kind of savior or world-builder in this vein. His power and influence are unparalleled in human history, really. It's staggering to consider.
Maybe it's the monopoly of trust Wikileaks has gained over the years, the lack of competition? I don't know. The world needs whistleblowers more than ever, and it is great to consider a more transparent political planet, even if it has to happen by informational force. We'll see.

Question for our CTR / ShariaBLUE folks: If you really hate Trump, and you really think he's an idiot and all the other things you call him, why the hysteria? why the MILLIONS of dollars and man-hours and "protests", hashtags, tee shirts, slogans, death threats, slander, viciousness? Why not just let him do himself in?
Either you a) don't ACTUALLY, TRULY believe in your heart of hearts that he is the demon you keep apoplectically insisting he is, and you're just throwing a fit because you're FUCKING BRAINWASHED, OR, b) you DO believe he's a horrible, stupid monster and YOU aren't even smart enough to just let him self-destruct.
WHICH IS IT, you fucking downvoting, LYING, RIOTING, pedo-defending, law-breaking, delusional HYSTERICAL jerkoffs?

You don't think having an idiot in such a position of power, including controlling nukes, could possibly be a legitimate concern?
n/a vanulovesyou 2017-02-17
The reaction to Trump doesn't even compare to the loud conservative wail during the Obama years.
Believing that your leader is an idiot who may do harm to your country or to the things that you care about is the exact reason anyone would want to protest, create hashtags, T-shirts, etc. BTW, do you realize that conservatives have done all of these things?
Those are the sort of things liberals have faced for years -- even more so today when right wingers are declaring liberals and leftists to be enemies of the state.
Compared to right wingers actually calling Obama a Satan worshiper or an agent of Satan?
BTW, the problem here is that even disagreeing with Trump has become "hate" to people such as you.
You don't even seem to understand the Trump's opposition, so I don't see how you can fucking claim to be a "freed mind" or something if your beliefs are predicated upon cliches and tropes.
Yep, just as I thought -- you proved my point. If ANYONE sounds hysterical, sounds like they're demonizing others, it is YOU.

He's full of shit.
Where was 'phase 3' ? Why were the email addresses from the Yemen emails faked and or redcated? Why were some cut in mid sentence? What is all this nonsense about 'vault 7' and 9/11with no followup?
If he wants to be 'of the people' he sure ain't acting like it -- ever since October.
I don't trust them anymore, the Podesta emails were the last thing of verifiable substance, and only because they were auto released.
n/a kraftwerkd 2017-02-17
Prior to Oct 16th 2016 everything Wikileaks released was signed with a PGP key. After the 16th that is no longer the case. Now it's just a honeypot to identify 'dissenters', like most of the internet is.
n/a Freqwaves 2017-02-17
That appears to be the case. The Podesta emails were DCIM verified, and were auto released (scheduled before Oct) The Yemen emails OTOH had no DCIM verfied-- they couldn't even BE verified because parts are fake or redacted such as John Kerry's email address.
I think Assange himself while alive, has been compromised by pressure on his family, by pressure from Ecuador, or some other way.
n/a kraftwerkd 2017-02-17
Did anyone ever figure out the Insurance file madness? I recall there being a push on 4ch and vo.at to figure out what was hidden in blockchain stuff, but as I recall it kept being wiped every time they got close.
n/a Freqwaves 2017-02-17
Wikileaks claimed that the reason the PGP keys didn't match because they were signed for the files within the archive, not the archives themselves. That is possible, but it's not how they did it before. Some people have explained away no release of Phase 3, by saysing something they did release was that..sort of a moving target.
The eye catcher to me though is the Yemen emails. Wikileaks has always said they would never edit the content of any documents, because there would then be no way to verify if ANY of it was real. (would not pass DCIM for one thing) But when they released those emails, they had email addresses like 'sender@sender.com' or no recipient , which CANNOT be the real info. And they were cut in mid sentence many times as well (which could be explained somehow, I guess).
n/a kraftwerkd 2017-02-17

Russia is far worse buddy.
Imagine talking mad shit about Donald Trump online, now imagine Trump sees you talking shit and decides to fucking kill you to silence you. Crazy right? That's what Russians have to deal with. The amount of Journalists and politicians who were killed by Putin is astounding.
n/a Jewel_Runner_VR 2017-02-17
According to who? See you onl6 know what you have been told. I judge from interviews with actual citizens who all love putin
n/a Ragefan66 2017-02-17
Just one of the thousands of sources, if you don't believe this source, look up the thousands of others
And if you're too lazy, 34 journalists who were critical of Putin were killed in Russia, not including journalists killed in other countries or journalists who didnt have sketchy deaths. For comparison two journalists have died in U.S in simular circumstance in the same time frame and three have died in China (EG: that one video where the reporter got shot by a stranger during an interview in public) Not to mention there are far less journalists in Russia than in America, and yet you're literally 3,000 percent more likely to be murdered as a journalist in Russia.
Judge from actual citizens who love Putin? I'm sorry can you link me a single interview? You'll also literally find the same thing in North Korea bro, I can link you hundreds of videos of North Koreans crying when their previous leader died and the people of North Korea absolutely "love" their current dictator, doesn't mean they are right or that they're just simply lying so they don't get put on a list.
It also doesn't seem sketchy how Putin had blatantly overstayed his legal limit as leader? He literally changed the amount of terms you could be president as president and you don't think that's dictator like? Not to mention the fact that he blatantly rigs his own elections and murders his opponents.
You can defend Trump, Obama, Hillary or whoever, but the moment you defend Putin is when you cross the line. Please research the history of Putin and what he does before you defend him, interviews with random citizens only will prove my point TBH. You know when Putin came into power he arrested the guy who ran Russias central media companies and forced him to give up the entire company to the government?
The people in Russia love Putin because any journalist who speaks against him is killed, thus discouraging any other person from doing the same. find me a Russian journalist who is critical of Putin, alive and lived in Russia and I'll legit delete my Reddit account.
n/a Jewel_Runner_VR 2017-02-17
What are the journalists critical points that get them killed? You jump to conclusions. Could it be possible these journalists are American infiltrators? See America always talks about Russia infiltrating but it never even dawns on them that America infiltrates pretty much anywhere they please. I want to know about how Putin is a threat to the global power structure so much that we need to bring world war 3. Every...single...time...I hear Putin speak about Western influence im like "yep, he's right, yep, America is trying to dominate the world, yep, you should problem defend your interests for the people of your country, yep"
n/a Ragefan66 2017-02-17
So if Russians came here and spouted Russian propaganda and Trump ordered them to be killed you would think that's perfectly fine? You think if Trump stayed as president for SIX terms that'd be fine?
Anna Stepanovna Politkovskaya wrote many articles being very critical of Putin, she was assassinated in the elevator of the apartment a few days later. It doesn't help the fact that 24 other journalists who were MURDERED had extremely critical views and articles of Putin.

I'm not advocating for either side, but I'm just saying people need to not be so close minded. It's not a fact, but it's not debunked in any way, and we as the public know far too little of what's actually happening in our government to make any claims.

I don't even believe he's still in the embassy. I think he's been renditioned.

I am a good person and I want to change the world but when I am given the choice between a good life and maybe changing the lives of others I will choose myself. And you will too. Assange is living in paradise with a ultimatum of helping himself or trying to help the layman. You decide.

There is a lot of hare on wikileaks in this thread that I don't understand where is coming from.
Do you really think releasing all the info at once will benefit the situation and the cause? There is a reason they release the information in a very systematic and timed way.
Assange is the hero of our time and you guys can't even be grateful for what he's done because you don't like the rate at which he releases the information or accuse of of being an attention whore?
YOU'RE A HERO ASSANGE. DON'T LET PEOPLE WITH SHORT TERM MEMORY TELL YOU OTHERWISE.

I don't know and I appreciate the civility. That is the biggest question cuz who really gives a shit what the shape of the planet it right? My thoughts are: maybe there is an abundance of land and resources beyond Antarctica. Like what admiral Byrd talked about. Or to hide our divinity? To worship science instead of realizing that we are "god." That we have more power then anyone could ever dream? To make us feel small, insignificant & alone. To play god? Pillage the earth, change/splice DNA, create hybrids, to try to imitate the creator? I don't know. I am not a religious person by any right. If you search flat earth vids on YouTube you will come across a shit ton of people who believe in the Bible and Jesus. Nothing wrong with that but it just turns me off. Especially because the Bible/Jesus are just assimilated or stolen stories from generations upon generations before. Honestly I have no fucking idea why anyone would want to hide it. That is my biggest hang up with the whole thing. My guess? That the reason is a lot bigger than anything I could imaging
n/a ghettomotels 2017-02-17
Assange might be the biggest troll ever. He's part of the cabal. For so long...no one knows if he's still alive...then he's on Foxnews being interviewed by Hannity.

Or how about my favourite, when he claimed he was going to leak stuff on Trump - all three instances of stuff he has lied through his fucking teeth on. Wasn't it just completely obvious he was trying to play us? Come on guys.

Oh ya? internet being cut off also cuts off your phone? All it took was a simple phone call. People act like his internet being cut off meant he had zero ability to contact the outside world...fuck that. Assange is NSA imho and right now it is a battle between the intelligence communities. NSA vs CIA vs FBI.
n/a OptionalZebra 2017-02-17
He done a phone interview when his internet was cut off so I have no idea why you're saying that? And yes I agree his interviews did seem sketchy considering the circumstances. But his live AMA on Twitch was sufficient proof of life for me. And he said himself there was a Black PR campaign to discredit Wikileaks.

n/a sper_jsh 2017-02-17
My opinion, which is just an opinion and is no more than that, is that there was a lot of activity behind the scenes involving the US government, Ecuador, and possibly/probably Russia. I don't think Assange was captured or killed. I just think that something got to him and he has to play his cards a bit differently now.
Of course, it makes a better Tom Clancy narrative if we believe he's been killed and the CIA is running Wikileaks now.
n/a nolv4ho 2017-02-17
I have to imagine he has a VERY tough job. He can't just release information without verifying it, or his credibility is ruined. Trying to verify secret information with a limited amount of trusted individuals, while remaining secret has to be ridiculously tough. I'm sure that I don't have the patience and tenacity to do that.

n/a dogcomplex 2017-02-17
Yeah but - consider the other highly likely possibility at the time: all that mess was created in order to make Julian Assange seem less credible by making it seem like he was compromised/captured. That was done so at a critical time when the integrity of wikileaks was hugely important. As he puts it (and as was said at the time by other conspirators) it was a "black PR campaign", and one which he had no control over (no ability to definitively give proof that couldn't be countered by black-PR trolls that didn't involve him having an active internet connection for live-streaming). There's a strong case for a group associated with the Clintons cutting his internet and causing all that mess in order to discredit him at a critical time - for little consequence (nothing illegal or dangerous PR e.g. killing him). It was an easy win - all the discrediting, minus the martydom. Once he's finally back, all people can whine about is how the poor guy didn't have internet for a few months. Big human rights complaint, there.
I dunno. With the livestream, I'm convinced he's alive and well. Maybe compromised still, but... eh, he always could have been. He continues to say and do important things, that's all anyone can hope for.

So if Russians came here and spouted Russian propaganda and Trump ordered them to be killed you would think that's perfectly fine? You think if Trump stayed as president for SIX terms that'd be fine?
Anna Stepanovna Politkovskaya wrote many articles being very critical of Putin, she was assassinated in the elevator of the apartment a few days later. It doesn't help the fact that 24 other journalists who were MURDERED had extremely critical views and articles of Putin.
n/a another_fatcyst 2017-02-17
Well going with your theory about the NSA vs CIA vs FBI then I would say Assange is CIA because he worked for the CIA before NSA and then proceeded to leak NSA info to make the NSA look bad.

n/a fluffjfc 2017-02-17
I'm not talking about passenger airliners. Look at high altitude weather balloons. There are videos on YouTube where they get up to 121k feet. By simple geometry that should be enough height to see the curve. There isn't one. It's perfectly straight. Or, if you do see a curve it'll flex. Going from concave, to straight, to convex and back and forth. The only way that is possible is with a straight line. In fact, if you take the high altitude Red Bull jump video and compare it side by side with a weather balloon video at the same altitude you can clearly see manipulation. Fish eye lenses work wonders for creating curves
n/a junkeee999 2017-02-17
