2016-10-17
What is the isolation time for stories like this?
[GatewayPundit] Rumors online that Julian Assange is DEAD!
STrange "deadman's keys" were posted in the Twitter feed Sunday afternoon.
Tweets can be seen at the link.
"Assange talked about his deadman’s switch in August.
Followers believe it is a key to open files on Hillary Clinton.
USA Supreme reported:

When WikiLeaks released a mysterious file labeled "WIKILEAKS INSURANCE" for people everywhere to download in advance of a huge upcoming announcement,everyone was having a second thought of what this file actually contain. This file serves as a type of "deadman’s switch" that is currently encrypted. WikiLeaks will release a second encryption key to unlock the file if they are prevented from making a planned announcement. Because of previous statements made by WikiLeaks and Julian Assange, many people are wondering if this insurance file is meant to ensure that WikiLeaks can release potentially damaging information about Hillary Clinton. Well, Assange give a response to that question in an interview with John Pilger an Australian journalist based in the United Kingdom and his answer won’t surprise many!"

Assange apparently dumped A LOT of Wikileaks at once making people think his “dead man trigger” had been activated.

#11  The Ecuadorians did it. They didn't even wait for the check to clear.

#10  Update:

Receiving some word that it may have been the Ecuadorians who cut his internet. Apparently their agreement with him staying there involved not created issues or annoying them. Obviously the leaks are bringing down some pressure on Ecuador. That would explain why “Ecuador” is named in one of the tweets.

#9  "Assange is dead" is taken with a heavy dose of salts. However, I do recall Hildabeest asked about drone=zapping Assange. Who is the state actor that cut Assange's internet connection?

#8  Assange should have been leaking his stuff during the primaries. Now so much is coming in so fast, and folks have already made up their minds, that it doesn't move the needle.

#6  What Joe said:

Speaking to the host of NBC's "Meet the Press" earlier this week, Biden said that "at the time of our choosing, and under the circumstances that will have the greatest impact," Washington would exact revenge against Moscow for its alleged interference with the upcoming US elections.

#5  Per Drudge this a.m., Russia Today reports Assange has been cut off from the Internet by a "state actor."

#4  Assange implied that Seth Rich was a political murder. No doubt Hillary would like Assange dead. I recall that Bob Beckle (D), formerly of Fox, called for wetwork on Assange a few years back.

#2  If this doesn't show the truth about Hillary and murder of opposition, nothing else does.
