Part 1. Give Reddit a few hours to process to see wtf this is. All old stuff.

I guess we'll find out! I'm kind of glad to see this might be the end of Assange though. The world needs something like Wikileaks, but he's been damaging the reputation of the organization for awhile now in the pursuit of personal vendettas. He's got to go.

I did think he had the look. I am considering Trump, too.

The more pressure there is to silence someone, the more likely they have important information that we need to pay attention to. I have no idea what all this stuff is though, hopefully someone will help sort through it to identify items of interest......

There's not even a Benghazi folder.

He must be hiding it. I'll probably have to vote Trump so we can get the truth.

Just wait for Trump TV to start up, they'll explain it all and get to the bottom of the massive voter fraud that the left and MSM did that cost Trump the election.

I don't think he will be harmed. But with his internet cut off, being stuck in that place, he may go nuts.

I am disappointed that we still haven't seen the yoga routines and recipes yet. I am also curious if it takes as many staffers to help her bake a cake as it does to craft a tweet.

Maybe if Trump had some staffers in charge of his Twitter account, he would be doing better.

Translation - he's spending way too much time picking on my beloved Hillary to be allowed to continue.

Huh? The point of Wikileaks is to promote transparency regardless of target or topic and their credibility rests on the idea that their agenda is an issue based one. Once they start timing their releases in an explicit attempt to influence electoral politics, indiscriminately leaking social security and credit card information of donors, etc, in an obvious attempt to settle scores they ruin that.

If you're someone that genuinely values transparency then you should be against all of those things because all it does is transform what should be a discussion about transparency and accountability into a partisan fight. Also, the leaking of SSNs, CC info, etc, is unethical regardless. It had no news value.

There are a bunch of news reports that Kerry negotiated with Ecuador as part of the FARC negotiations to have Assange's internet taken away so he couldn't leak further embarrassing information. I don't know if that's true or not, but it's plausible, and if so says a whole lot about how much of these shenanigans are going on all the way to the top.

I hear it was the illuminati headed by Soros and the jews.

Only "news reports" I found are linked to Assange's claim that Kerry is responsible and the usual people are saying/unknown sources, etc.

If there are a bunch of news reports please link to some.
