What had been billed as an address to the gathered media from the balcony of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London has been changed to a video presentation that will be shown in Berlin — not called off, as some had reported, but changed to Germany. The reason for the shift in location and the fact that Assange will not appear live? “Specific information,” presumably about a credible threat.
Assange has been hinting for some time that the proverbial “October surprise” for Hillary would have a huge impact on the viability of her presidential campaign.
He appeared on Fox News last month, repeating his assertion that WikiLeaks has damaging documents on the former secretary of state — incriminating emails, potentially. And we all know there’s quite a trail of tears in Hillary’s wake to suggest that new material exposing further scandal and corruption could be in the wings.
Concerning the “C” markings on classified material that Clinton shared through her unauthorized, unsecured private email server, Assange told Sean Hannity, “It’s absolutely incredible for Clinton to lie, she is lying, about not knowing what that is, but it’s disturbing that [FBI Director] James Comey goes along with that game,” the WikiLeaks founder said.
In its coverage of the anticipated Assange video disclosure on Tuesday, Fox News notes that there have been hints that powerful people might want something to happen that would make it impossible for Julian Assange to continue doing what the WikiLeaks Twitter feed declares to be the organization’s mission: “We open governments.”
“Though no recent public revelations directly tie to Assange’s security fears, various U.S. officials and pundits have made threatening statements directed at him in the past,” the Fox News reports says. “WikiLeaks on Monday tweeted an alleged quote from a 2010 State Department meeting at which then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asked if Assange could be killed in a drone strike. [There has been no corroboration of that supposed inquiry from Clinton.] That same year, former Democrat strategist Bob Beckel said on Fox News Channel that ‘a dead man can’t leak stuff.'”
In its ten years of finding, acquiring and exposing all sorts of secrets that the rich and powerful don’t want know, WikiLeaks has published more than 10 million leaked emails. They include sensitive information about prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, U.S. military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and a cache of diplomatic cables from U.S. embassies around the world.
The Tuesday morning announcement made remotely in Berlin could be the organization’s biggest disclosure yet. Or it could prove to be nothing at all.
What do you think?
I don’t think it will be a damp squib. Assange has something to sell. If Trump gains the Presidency a favor may be coming his way. If Hillary becomes President, by hook and by crook, Assange better have his dead man’s switch on, and his will made out.
But her lemmings still buy into the vast right wing conspiracy line. I don’t think they’d believe it if it was a live feed of her committing crimes. That goes double for the media.
Pity, that, if true. Nothing to brag about IMO.
The problem is the press tells people what matters... and they don’t give a damn what Hillary does or what laws she breaks...
But History won’t be so kind to the Clintons...or their little trolls...
What’s the name of that place bill vacations? Something or other island. The perv playground. That would do a lot of damage.
Just 2.5 more business hours.
I think CNN will either pretend it doesn’t exist or minimize it and then return to talking about Trump’s legal tax returns.
Nothing stuck to John Gotti for years. They finally got him though!!!
He is Spock’s youngest son, Spiak.
Yes, he will be 88 in two weeks, but looks 20 years younger, works around the house, drives the car, has great vision, mows the lawn, is agile, etc. etc. He is remarkable. He just put a new storm door on the front of the house by himself. No one believes his age. I don’t believe his age. I’m thankful I still have him.
Trump made his Money and then he went to Washington D.C.
Hillary went to Washington D.C. and then she made her Money.
The media are comprised of ALL Democrats..I dont think they actually like Clinton, but the Democrat agenda is their agenda..ALL OF THEM..and that is why as long as Republicans dont get into Journalism NOTHING will change..its always the same story, election after election, Republicans get painted as the crazy ones while the Democrats get painted as the only sensible ones..we get trashed, they get praised and its never going to change..it will always be pravda media, heck its worse, at least with North Korean news they dont pretend to hide their agenda
Win or lose, nothing would please me more than to see those corrupt leftists in the MSM dealt with.
Permanently.
To paraphrase Hillary, what sort of a moron would lose a billion dollars in one year when you can get paid to lose five trillion?
Leaving those 4 to die without much of a thought disqualifies her for the presidency. I don’t think people really understand it - that it is just one of those things
Jimmy Hoffa donated to the Clinton Foundation.
So awesome. Enjoy him as I know you do!
91- good point
Could obviously be a Russian stooge, as even the Dems are claiming. Meanwhile, the Dems have been the party of Russian appeasement in such critically important as missile defense, nukes and Iran. Something very complex and strange is going on here.
praying in earnest through Christ is the most powerful tool a human has..
