I can't say I'm surprised by the timing, but i'm more surprised they haven't come after him sooner.
All this says to me is the information wikileaks is releasing must be very damaging to HRC. If she doesn't win her career in politics is done. She'll never be able to run for elected office anywhere in the US.
I really hope the don't assassinate him though.

Well let's keep in mind that these are possibly theatrics and his internet is fine.
Either way it's probably good for Trump though as it keeps a spotlight on the DNC/HRC etc...

Streisand effect plus he has a dead man switch. The Gov't should've left him alone but now they've gone and made it worst esp since #FreeJulian is trending and now everyone is free to post memes on fb re: Wikileaks to bring more attention to the issue since its a hot topic for no reason.

In this time of apparent great peril and high interest in Assange's current status (and high traffic to Wikileaks twitter) the next and latest tweet is a link to donate...

^ Dude, Assange has been living in that embassy for, what, 5 years?
He's earned the right to ask for a few donations.
Even if this is a publicity stunt, it's massively helpful for Trump's campaign. As someone else pointed out, #FreeJulian has been trending on Twitter all night. If nothing happens, it just looks like they got scared of the attention and backed off. Meanwhile thousands of people are being exposed to more of the leaks.

Enigma brother, I'm not saying the man doesn't deserve donations or shouldn't ask for them, far from it.
My point is that the whole twitter world is watching the Wikileaks feed to find out what's up with him, and no doubt the persons running Wikileaks twitter are well aware of the wild speculation and concern. Read the comments- "Is Julian ok?", "Is Julian dead", "Well what's the latest??", "Is everything ok?".. etc. But, not for the first time, they've chosen to let the speculation run and not comment- besides to ask for donations.
Same thing happened with the announcement a couple weeks ago, stayed up and watched.
I wish him well, and hope something big is revealed, and it's helpful regardless of what happens- but I'm not getting duped again.

Can anyone confirm what these pre-commitment codes are for? From Gizmodo (a Gawker source, hence my question): "Essentially those unique codes are proof to anyone reading the documents in the future that their contents remain unchanged: alteration to the leaks will likewise alter those 64-character codes."
In other news, apparently Pamela Anderson stopped by the embassy to give Assange a vegan lunch:

If Assange was silently taken out, poisoned or whatnot and the Ecuadorian embassy made some sort of deal with USA to poison him or turn him over in the middle of the night, how would we find out about it? It sounds like they had some sort of contingency in place, if he is dead, hopefully he actually had some information that he was holding back.

262- What Gizmodo said is correct. This system has been used a few times by others recently.

One of the streamers was stopped by a lady asking him if he's looking for Julian Assange. The stream then abruptly ended.

The lunch was just a cover. She was there to assist in his escape, silently cutting glass with those nips.

@GlobalMan:
I understand where you're coming from, but I don't think they have any more information than has been released. It's the middle of the night and they don't seem to have direct contact with him.
Tweeting out a donation link is not an indication in either direction. They could be asking for donations because it's a publicity stunt, or they could be doing it because they have a ton of traffic and their leader's safety is at risk.
And we'll likely never know if it was a hoax anyways, as I alluded to above.

You're all ignoring the most important talking point.

The public will judge a man by what he lifts, but those close to him will judge him by what he carries.

A few bottles of wine and you can say you fucked Pamela Anderson (minus the hep). What's not to like?
