>>Where’s Assange?<<

“Mr. Assange is still alive and WikiLeaks is still publishing. We ask supporters to stop taking down the US internet. You proved your point.”

HOW EASY IS IT TO TAKE DOWN THE INTERNET?!?!?!?!

HOW SAFE ARE OUR MILITARY SITES?!

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

But it doesn’t specifically say the attack was done by Wikileaks supporters.
It’s ambiguous.
Wikileaks supporters could be *among* those who attacked.

I think Assange is in custody. Haven’t seen him in a few days.

“Mr. Assange is still alive and WikiLeaks is still publishing. We ask supporters to stop taking down the US internet. You proved your point.”

Who said this about whom?

It can be taken in different ways. Here is one interpretation, but I don't know if it is correct:

The Obama administration has done something to Julian Assange in order to disrupt the publishing of information that is damaging to the Clinton campaign.

The Wikileaks people are taking down the US Internet in order to make a point--release Julian Assange and let Wikileaks publish.

The Obama administration concedes that Mr. Assange is alive and well and pleads that Wikileaks should stop their disruption on the Internet.

Is this what they mean?
