Wikileaks: Ecuador Cut Assange’s Internet, Dumps More Podesta Emails
If true, does that mean his stay has ended at the embassy?
Yesterday, Wikileaks said a state cut off founder Julian Assange’s internet access at the Ecuadorian embassy in London, which led to theories that he died. But today, the anti-secrecy website claims Ecuador cut off Assange’s internet, nine days into Wikileaks email dumps of Hillary Clinton campaign chair John Podesta’s emails.
We can confirm Ecuador cut off Assange's internet access Saturday, 5pm GMT, shortly after publication of Clinton's Goldman Sachs speechs.

Ecuadorian embassy employees or ambassador would not comment on the tweet.
Wikileaks has also released more Podesta emails.
For the past week, Wikileaks has dumped thousands of emails from Podesta, but also her Goldman Sachs speeches. Unfortunately, for Hillary, this could have a bad affect on her campaign since the Democrats hate Wall Street. In fact, their hatred of Wall Street and the Clintons close relationship with the banks, caused her campaign to worry they may not receive an endorsement from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).

Not only that, but in one speech, she pushed for covert action in Syria:
According to the latest leaked emails, Mrs Clinton told a Goldman Sachs conference she would like to intervene secretly in Syria.
She made the remark in answer to a question from Lloyd Blankfein, the bank’s chief executive, in 2013 – months after she left office as secretary of state.
“My view was you intervene as covertly as is possible for Americans to intervene,” she told employees of the bank in South Carolina, which had paid her about $225,000 (£185,000) to give a speech.
Mrs Clinton – who is accused of being hawkish by liberal critics – added: “We used to be much better at this than we are now. Now, you know, everybody can’t help themselves.
“They have to go out and tell their friendly reporters and somebody else: Look what we’re doing and I want credit for it.”
Rumors of Assange’s death started on Sunday when Wikileaks tweeted out these 64-character codes:

Forbes reported:
The news came as bizarre rumors swirled around Wikileaks, which has been celebrating its 10th birthday by releasing files from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta. The most insane suggestion was that Pamela Anderson had poisoned Assange after delivering him a Pret lunch at the embassy. That, unsurprisingly, turned out to be nonsense.
But rumors of Assange’s death persisted, thanks to 64-character codes tweeted by Wikileaks, though the tweets were not sent at the flick of a dead man’s switch. They were cryptographic assurances of leaked data, so-called “pre-commitments” designed to ensure files hadn’t been tampered with.
A few hours later, Wikileaks tweeted out that Assange lost his internet:
Julian Assange's internet link has been intentionally severed by a state party. We have activated the appropriate contingency plans.

Wikileaks has not expanded on how the organization discovered Ecuador cut off the internet or what will happen to Assange. It’s kind of surprising Ecuador has done this considering they have helped him so much while the U.S. and the U.K. have sparred with him numerous times.
Assange sought asylum at the embassy in June 2012 to avoid extradition orders to Sweden “to face questioning in a sexual molestation case involving two female Wikileaks supporters.”

In my very best imitation of Church Lady (of SNL fame), “Well, isn’t THAT special!” (Or, perhaps, more like it might be “Well, isn’t that con-VEN-ient!”
Fascinating stuff. If Hillary is still elected, we know the country is officially brain dead.
Amazing how much cooperation you can get from a socialist country for just $25 mil a year.
If he has lost his asylum, it would certainly be convenient for the Regime if Assange were terminated with extreme prejudice.
“two female Wikileaks supporters.” For years they were two women that he had dated. Then they charged him with rape several years later.
Then he should have an easy time answering the charges. But let’s examine his excuse for not going to Sweden. They might extradite him.
He was in the UK – our closest ally! We didn’t request that the UK extradite him? We want Sweden, a neutral country, to do do it? Yeah, that passes the smell test.
BTW, if we were in collusion with Sweden, why not tell Sweden not to issue the indictment and snatch or kill him in friendly Britain? That is what Putin would do.
In fact that is what Putin has done multiple times including using an umbrella that injected poison in Gerogi Markov and using polonium-210 to poison Alexander Litvinenko. Putin and Trump are going to be good buddies.
“Putin and Trump are going to be good buddies.”
We’re all waiting for you to tell us why Trump would want Assange silenced. Otherwise what you wrote makes no sense whatsoever.
Well, since you your reading comprehension is lacking, I will simplify for you.
Assange is full of sheet. If the US wanted him arrested or wanted to kill him, he would be in jail or dead. It could have been easily done in the UK. We didn’t need Sweden.
But it is Putin, Trump’s buddy, who kills those he perceives as enemies. Putin killed 2 in gruesome ways – right in London. Get it now?
If you still don’t get it, I don’t care. It isn’t going to change a thing. Clinton will soon be president. You can spend the next 4 years trying to impeach her or we could try to find a way to work together. You know, Let’s help America stay great.
“or we could try to find a way to work together.”
Fat chance. We don’t work with commies. Now, the republican congress will be happy to do the Clinton bidding.
What a load of liberal crap! Work together? You mean like working with the ayatollah? Or Putin? Or Kim Jung Il? What have you been shooting up? You have to be brain dead to even suggest “Working together” with this filth. hillary is just the type of person who would “Work” with them and we all know what that means! She would sell our country out to the highest bidder and then blame Christianity/second amendment on the downfall of it. You need to go back to the daily beast or huffpo and type your nonsense there where the twenty-somethings will buy it.
@Barry: Hillary Clinton is a commie? Didn’t Trump say she is working with the International Bankers? Wouldn’t that make her a capitalist?
Is Trump’s buddy a communist or a fascist? Either way, he knows how to rig elections. He is trying hard to help Trump, but Trump is beyond help.
Putin starts by putting out real documents to establish his bona fides. Then he puts out phony ones. There is already proof that there are phony documents mixed in with the real stuff because the reporter whose article was altered to make it look like Sidney Blumenthal wrote it can point to the actual article. Believe it or not. I don’t care since it won’t matter. http://www.newsweek.com/vladimir-putin-sidney-blumenthal-hillary-clinton-donald-trump-benghazi-sputnik-508635 You just might want to read it for yuks.
We didn’t request that the UK extradite him?
Why bother? Nobody’s going to storm an embassy to get him.
“It’s kind of surprising Ecuador has done this considering they have helped him so much while the U.S. and the U.K. have sparred with him numerous times.”
$5 says the Obama administration, Clinton, and the Clinton Foundation found a cash-strapped friend in the Ecuadorian government.
Maybe they are just sick of him like the woman who posted his bail and now hates his guts. She posted £225,000 on his word and he stiffed her.
Does this stoppage mean that the wiki leaks stop coming and that HRC is now coronated queen?? OY !! ABJ

Assange confirms:

Unless they hacked his Twitter – but dead man switch would have kicked in by then, right?
This is a good lesson in the power of the clinton’s treacherous machine. They have either bribed the Ecuadorian government or threatened them to the point where there will be no more Assange Wikileaks that show this monster for what she really is. My God! Can’t the public see her for what she really is? She is so open about her dishonesty and lack of character that it is amazing she will get any votes at all.
it is amazing she will get any votes at all.
She’ll have no trouble getting fraudulent votes.
The long reach of the Clinton’s…….
My understanding that his files are saved as Torrents i.e. pieces of files scattered around the world on various machines. They’d have to shut down the world wide web to prevent them from being distributed.
Back in June, they released an 88gb torrent file as insurance, promising to release the key if anything happens to Assange. Reports are that earlier today, it was able to be streamed at over 2000meg making it one of the fastest torrents in history.
Two things –
First:
Really?! A “bad affect on her campaign” and “Democrats hate Wall Street” – well, I will tell you what they hate more: a REPUBLICAN NOMINEE! They would eat crushed glass and drink antifreeze before they’d vote for a Republican! And….Trump is NO Republican. He is a Democrat who saw an opportunity and switched parties…..
Second:
Sen. Lizzie “Fauxcahontas” Warren IS Wall Street’s favorite – just check out her donor’s lists. Much as she pretends otherwise. Prof. Jacobson has written volumes on her….including her front about hating Wall Street while cleaning up behind the scenes with backroom deals and legal fees, as I recall……
irony.
1 POS holed up in an embassy outing another POS who failed to protect embassies/annexes while a third POS gets to make crap pudding out of it all.
