Assange Statement on the US-Election
WikiLeaks via Drudge ^ | 11/08/2016 | Julian Assange

Posted on 11/08/2016 8:24:03 AM PST by Prov1322

In recent months, WikiLeaks and I personally have come under enormous pressure to stop publishing what the Clinton campaign says about itself to itself. That pressure has come from the campaign’s allies, including the Obama administration, and from liberals who are anxious about who will be elected US President.

On the eve of the election, it is important to restate why we have published what we have.

The right to receive and impart true information is the guiding principle of WikiLeaks – an organization that has a staff and organizational mission far beyond myself. Our organization defends the public’s right to be informed.

This is why, irrespective of the outcome of the 2016 US Presidential election, the real victor is the US public which is better informed as a result of our work.

“he would reveal info that would have HRC jailed”

He HAS revealed info that would have her jailed if we didn’t have people AS CORRUPTED AS SHE IS in the positions that should be jailing her.

He may have based his release strategy on the assumption Trump wouldn’t win. He can’t be here to see the anecdotal stuff we do, so he has to just go by the polls.

Perhaps ... I can’t figure him out. I can say this — the shotgun approach with zillions of emails was not effective. Quality is better than quantity.

What if we didn’t have WikiLeaks?

DWS would still be DNC chair. Now we have Donna Brazile. Other than that, nothing has changed.

Evidence that our “MSM” is completely corrupt, biased and unworthy of any trust whatsoever. To be reviled and detested and outed once the election is over. Their advertisers shunned and boycotted. They are to be hounded off the air.

My favorite new t-shirt:

Rope. Tree. “Journalist”
Some assembly required.

Reminds me of the slogan...

Assange delivered the goods. It's not his fault that the entire justice system is on the take.

I can't wait to see what he does next.

I’m gonna think out loud.

Assange is basically in prison. Clinton /Soros machine want him skinned.

Could they have threatened him to cut down his leaks? Yes.

They certainly made at least one attempt at his life.

Did he let us down? Maybe not on purpose. I really think he surmised our legal system would move on the obvious treasonous things she and her cabal did. But they didn’t and the AG Lynch mob blocked everything.

Did he release her 30k emails? No, and not sure if he has them.

So he did more good than not.

WikiLeaks is under a massive DDOS cyberattack at this time.

Cannot log on to their site.

Somebody out there is afraid.

I think it’s possible he had two goals in mind... 1. Keep her from winning the election (he gave us enough for that) and 2. Put her away. If she is indicted too soon, she will be pardoned. We must be patient for the changing of the guard.

I will forever be grateful to have a new and complete understanding how corrupt our government and media are.

She doesn’t have to be indicted to be pardoned. Ford pardoned Nixon and there was no indictment. Hussein can give her a pardon for (Federal) stuff she has done and is doing. I don’ know if that covers her for future crimes, though.

FYI, Wikileaks is pre-releasing files for download:

Download encrypted future WL publications for safekeeping:

There are three Torrent links at that Twitter post. But, other's are reporting that Twitter is blocking the short URLs.

If you know how to use Bit Torrent, you probably know how to extract the links and use them.
