How is Wikileaks publishing files even after Assange's Internet was cut?
Fox news.com ^ | 10/18/16

Cutting the Internet cord on Julian Assange has not silenced the WikiLeaks mastermind, who likely has multiple backup systems in place to ensure his reign of terror on the politically powerful continues long after he loses web access. Assange has been holed up in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London for five years, but Wikileaks managed on Tuesday to unleash yet another massive dump of emails hacked from key Hillary Clinton aide John Podesta. Those disclosures came a day after his international hacktivist group said their leader's access to the cyber world was severed by the South Ameerican government.

Short answer: the content was copied to dozens of portable flash drives, hard drives and SD cards, passed hand-to-hand and uploaded by trusted confidants from safe locales.

In the book Collateral Crimes, the government was trying to stifle a new media journalist. They even when so far as to put her in prison. But she had registered her domain in Hong Kong and published her blog on an Content Distribution Network, so when the government brought a server down with a Denial of Service Attack, the other servers took up the slack. She also posted all her articles on WordPress with the dates set so the posts became active at specific times.

It’s not like the guy has these file sitting on his laptop and he has no internet so I can’t email them

These files are sitting out on servers all over the world..

that’s where the crypto Keys went out to decrypt them there’s a lot of people involved he’s just the face

The irony is WikiLeaks doesn’t operate like Hillary Clinton’s email server

It’s not on a server sitting in his closet in his bathroom... he has a real infrastructure out there in the cloud

“Obviously he is smarter than democrats.”

That’s not hard to do. Ever watch an episode of “Ineptitude in Crime?” Criminals are basically stupid people. Ergo, Dempcrats are stupid. It must now be truly sanity destroying for them not really knowing which “piece of $hit” they’ve done is going to be launched in their direction by Wikileaks. I just hope that after Trump is in the White House, that the Clintons kill themselves, Hillary because she knows she’s finally lost and for Slick “dying in the saddle.” That trollop will make millions telling the world how she effed Slick to death!

This stuff was put in place, repositories other places, encrypted, a long time ago. New stuff added as it comes in.

NOt surprising at all.

What is surprising is that anyone wonders how it can be done.

Smart move to have multiple release sources and places in case he is assassinated, yes the Clinton’s and elites wouldn’t hesitate to drone him. They are truly the scum of the earth at every level, just vile creatures.

Can they really be that stupid?

The U.S. State Dept that thought they could shut down WikiLeaks by cutting Julian Assange's internet connection.

It really shows the utter lack of a technical understanding of the internet at the State Dept. Our "best and brightest". Ha-ha! No wonder these guys get hacked.

Contrary to all the silly conspiracy believers on this site that are convinced that Andrew Breitbart was murdered, Assange is not alone and is merely the head of a vast global network just as Breitbart was in his organization.

There hasn't been one conspiracy wacko here that could explain why Breitbart needed to be assassinated when his network had and has all the info he was privy to and continues to promote their cause...#heartasttackshappen, #AssangeIsGlobal........LOL!

Doubtful, in that Wikileaks is far to capable. They run circles around the talent in those agencies. Mossad however...
