My understanding is that we do not have any proofs of life from Assange. It could be many things: assassination, deal with Ecuador, extradition by Ecuador or someone else, simply an internet censorship, a PR stunt by Assange.
All is possible. This guy lives a fucking dystopian nightmare.
- ctz 10y agoIt could be any of these things. It could also be BT OpenReach.
- Monotoko 10y agoDefinitely most likely.
- jonknee 10y agoYea or it could just be the internet is down. It happens to regular people all the time.
- marcoperaza 10y agoUnlikely, there are clearly moves being made today against Russian-backed and allegedly Russian-backed propaganda outfits. RT just had its bank accounts frozen in the UK as well. Also, have you ever heard of LTE?
- jonknee 10y agoPerhaps, though there is just one unsubstantiated claim and he obviously still has some access since the claim was made online.
- FireBeyond 10y agoIt's "unlikely"? No, you're right, clearly the most obvious motive is conspiracy. Also, other people have reported, and it's pretty common in a lot of embassies, not just the Ecuadorian, that cell phones are either actively jammed or the embassy is built as a Faraday cage. I had no cell service in the US embassy in Sydney, despite being in the middle of a capital city within 10 ft of a window.

- FireBeyond 10y agoI'm not sure how this "proves" you were right. "Wikileaks says Wikileaks was stopped from posting, according to what people told Wikileaks".
- Kenji 10y agoOnly this guy or we all?
- wbhart 10y agoThe article itself states that Assange is alive and well. The issue is his internet access and what this portends, not whether he is alive.
