HILLARY CLINTON CAMPAIGN HOLDS ITS BREATH AS WIKILEAKS FOUNDER MAKES MASSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT
THE POINT: WESTERN JOURNALISM ^ | OCTOBER 3, 2016 AT 12:19 PM | NORVILLE ROSE

Posted on 10/03/2016 7:46:31 PM PDT by drewh

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?

Perhaps there is an email from the Hildabeast to UBL warning him of a visit from Seal Team 6.

Sadly, I agree. Her supporters don't care at all about corruption. They want the power to continue pushing extreme social liberalism in our face. They are normalizing all kinds of unconstitutional things.

Much to my shock, my dad who is very conservative, recently told me he thought it was OK to jail and ruin a baker if he/she did not bake a cake for a same sex wedding. How did that happen?

He did not seem to understand the concept of freedom of religion, one of the main tenants of our constitution and society. He used to be a printer - he is now retired. He said he would print wedding invitations to a same sex wedding because if he didn't, another printer would, so why not him. He seems to have reduced it to an economic equation. I am still shocked at his lack of basic understanding. As you can imagine, we had to drop the discussion and move on.

He never would have said that even 4 years ago. If someone wants to make a cake, have at it, but to force someone is unconscionable.

That is all these people want - power to force their agenda down our throats with no dissent allowed.

With or without corruption. Either one works for them.

I still remember Breitbart was supposed to have something huge about Obama, then Breitbart died. Then nothing more was ever said about what it might have been.

The media is hostage. All of it. That’s what the coup of 2008 accomplished.

We have to be able to fight without the media. Correction: we have to be able to fight knowing that the media effectively fights for the other side.

It’s not time to lay down and die. It’s time to rise up and show the media we don’t need them.

We knew that in 2012. She’ll claim it’s old news and time to move on.

You are right...
Of all the things that she has done...I can’t believe that leaving those men to die without sending help hasn’t hurt her politically.

Is your dad elderly? It’s sad how the executive functioning changes. My mom actually has Alzheimer’s and she usually remembers she doesn’t like Hillary but not always. She would be devastated to see how she is politicaly now, she was so political and smart. Now she sways to whatever she hears.

“Might it be related to the story about Bill Clinton’s son from the 90s that popped up today on Drudge? Or the “clintonkaine” website put up by Trump ( which is mostly about Kaine, oddly enough)?”

God, I hope you’re kidding...

I hope The Reveal is other than, or in addition to, her mishandling of classified material. I think the public is bored with that already.

I want to see something sensational, momentous and stupendous....a production of epic proportions from Cecil B. Assange !

Lights, camera, action !!!

I think that municipal building used to be the armory.

I can’t think of anything that would deter her supporters unless they have recent audio of her uttering the deadly N-word.

If this is a Nothingburger, I’ll be convinced that Assange is working FOR Hillary.

It would be so satisfying to see someone *finally* bring the Clintons to justice.

This is why she shouldn’t have a clearance, hold public trust or be president. She’s a blackmail risk.
