The Obama administration should not have attempted to misuse its instruments of state to stop criticism of its ruling party candidate.

It doesn’t sound like Assange, but it’s not necessarily the NSA. It could be someone on his team running the account since his internet access was cut.

If Obama demanded control of the WikiLeaks account for reasons of national security it would no doubt be granted by Twitter...then Obama would falsely message from the WikiLeaks account for any number of reasons. To discredit, implicate...potentially draw out conspirators.

I suspect once the deadman switch went active Assange is no longer in control. They could pull out his fingernails and all they will accomplish is guarantee no Rat will win an election for 50 years. Which, come to think of it, we should be egging them on, LOL.

Series, though, the Rats need to do some soul searching here. What will be the best outcome for them down the road? They know where Veritas and Wikileaks is going because THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE GUILTY OF. Forget covering the crap up because that ain’t happening. The folks who set that crap up know more about it than I do and EVEN I can come up with deadman switches and redundancies that whatever is coming is coming. DEAL WITH IT.

At what point do the Rats, like the GOP did with Nixon and say “ENOUGH IS ENOUGH”. The Rats are ALREADY at a point where even if she wins Hillary could be indicted before she is sworn in. When do the Rats decide to stop the bleeding? The question becomes the same one the GOP made with Nixon. Are they going to let her take them all down with her?

BEST ELECTION EVER. Watergate was just a sideshow distraction. This is gonna be THE SUPERBOWL.

I think you’re right. Why would his supporters shut down one of the tools (Twitter) he uses to get his message out? IDK

I said when they released the Kenyan Klown’s Pre Immaculation emails that was just a shot across the bow. Of course they have Zero’s emails to H. Zero thinks by messing with the net he can affect Assange. Assange does not control anything any more. Is Zero so stupid he does not know how a deadman works?

The only thing the Klown is gonna accomplish with screwing with the net is piss off undecided millenials that H desperately needs. Not wise. I expect soon an adult will take his toys away from him before he screws things up even worse than they are.

The wording is very cryptic (by design, I think) and can be interpreted several ways.

Perhaps I spoke to soon. That is if one buys that fancy bear is the hacker, and that they actually are in cahoots with Russia.

Regardless, the corruption they are exposing is unprecedented.

Maybe to prevent twitter from censoring WikiLeaks? Warning that he can censor them too?

If you go read the responses, many who follow WikiLeaks regularly do not believe WikiLeaks is in control of the account anymore.

But wikileaks seems to think it’s their fans doing it.

HOW EASY is it to break into these things!!

what’s worse is i have NO IDEA how any of this works!!!

Is there more protection than just passwords? i know it’s a silly question, but i dont know.

You are talking about a party with a total lack of morals in a country they have destroyed Christianity in, to one who was all about morals in a Christian country. Dems will plow right through the corruption and continue to pursue their power and think the little people should just accept we should all be run by the corrupt that laws do not apply to while we are burdened with ever increasing regulations and laws that must be obeyed without complaint.

‘That is if one buys that fancy bear is the hacker, and that they actually are in cahoots with Russia.’

Could you elaborate?

Fancy beer?

False flag. Only the Obama administration would benefit from taking down our Internet and blaming it on someone else.

Encryption can get very deep. It's an automated cypher. Unfortunately, the NSA was hacked over the summer, and the US government demands that all encryption algorithms of US companies be stored there.

But frankly, Obama might be trying to make a scapegoat out of Assange. Who wants communication shut down? Obama or Assange?

I’ve been thinking it was government all along.

Or related to the root of all evil AKA the Clinton Foundation.

I think it’s safe to say that Assange is not in full control, beyond that it is an open question as to who is in control of WikiLeaks. All we can do is watch and judge for ourselves.
