A friendly reminder that there has been no proof that Julian Assange is alive, for quite a while. Also their 'insurance' file hashes no longer match the files.

A friendly reminder that there has been no proof that Julian Assange is alive, for quite a while. Also their 'insurance' file hashes no longer match the files. And the latest messages are not digitally signed. Also there was a set of moderators added all over related subreddits to suppress this.

what is the significance of the insurance file hashes no longer matching the files?

  None - they never did match the (encrypted) files. WL commented on this conspiracy theory earlier today, both saying Assange appreciates the concerns that he's dead, and saying that "obviously" the hashes are for decrypted files, not the encrypted ones: https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/798997378552299521 https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/798997378552299521

It seems as though he's alive and it would be quite a massive conspiracy if he turned out not to be: http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/prosecutor-arrives-to-quiz-assange-after-pamela-anderson-dropped-off-veggie-burgers-a3394771.html http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/prosecutor-arrives-to-...

  I'm inclined to believe that he's all right, but to be fair, that "questioning" was through a third party, and Assange never faced them directly.

That seems out of the blue, to me, though I don't follow it (my soul died long ago with seeing how bad this corruption is). What indications are there you think he might have been murdered? Edit: Got trolled I think.
