There is something really weird going on with the wikileaks twitter right now. Lots of odd posts, lots of misspellings, lots of links to things like Politico that they never linked to before. WAY more partisan than before.
This all started the day Equador cut off his net access. Assange has not been seen in public since.
How hard would it be for them to post a five second video clip with today's newspaper?
Current thinking is that wikileaks is no longer in control of their twitter account and/or Assange is missing.
- Kenji 10y agoYeah. Until the Wikileaks twitter proves itself with a properly signed PGP message, I won't be trusting it anymore (but even then: If the twitter account has been compromised, maybe they also grabbed his PGP keys?). Also, I'm worried about the wellbeing of Assange. As you said, it shouldn't be too hard to give some sign of life, would it.
- Tomte 10y agoIt's in Assange's interest to let some people believe he has been killed.
- heartbreak 10y agoThey released Part 15 of Podesta's emails 20 minutes ago. If someone had whisked away Assange and taken over his Twitter account, why would they continue the huge dump of emails?
- emp_zealoth 10y agoApparently nobody gives two shits of a fuck what is in those emails, no matter how unsettling their contents are. Why not keep publishing those while you destroy Wikileaks?
- 1337biz 10y agoIt is amazing to watch this. Even if you are the most dedicated Clinton supporter there is, you have to realize how one sided media orgs across the line can become.
- scruple 10y ago> Even if you are the most dedicated Clinton supporter there is, you have to realize how one sided media orgs across the line can become. You'd be surprised. My friends and family seem to be doubling down on it. They either outright don't care or they are encouraged by the underhandedness of it all.
- lern_too_spel 10y agoI think you missed that nobody gives two shits because the contents are completely pedestrian except to conspiracy theorists who come up with conspiracies out of absolutely everything.

- Cozumel 10y agoAre we reading the same emails?!
- lern_too_spel 10y agoYou tell me. I posted examples.
- striking 10y agoI mean, if Assange doesn't have access to the internet, this might not be him tweeting. It could be someone tweeting on his behalf, really poorly.
