Julian Assange has had his connection to the internet severed

[AndaliteBandit]

If it is an unknown state actor, how do they know it is a state actor at all?

[Breccia]

If I had Putin's gun to my head and a looming deadline, and I was out of useful material to leak, I'd start making excuses, too.

[caervek]

Random thought, if both his cellphone and the hardline to the embassy are down. How has he told people he cannot communicate?

[Aggrophobic]

Wow you really have no clue about what is going on in the real world do you? Scary that people have this thought, but I suppose it's your right to be uninformed.

What is going on in the "real world" according to you?

[Xires]

Funny how totalitarianism and fascism always rises from well intentioned people who believe they are pursuing the greater good.

Funny how marxist-socialist do the same thing. Hitler was a socialist and he promised healthcare for all and advocated for and eventually disarmed the people to make them feel safe. He even had a group marching around and intimidating people to think like they do and anyone who didn't needed to be silenced or had their businesses firebombed. This group was called "The Brown shirts" by Hitler and his fellow socialists. Sounds a bit familiar and the GOP center that was firebombed is history repeating itself. That group also made up words and phrases for those that didn't agree with their actions to try and demonize them. Words like one side is making up today like totalitarianism and fascism.

Alright time to be done with sarcastic comments. It's impossible to be severed based on what we know

[AndaliteBandit]

Except as far as i remember they refused to give him protection from extradition, and refused to do trial without him being there too (with him speaking over skype, as example), and those who accused him had since dropped their charges.

What a reasonable demand.

Who needs evidence when guilty until proven innocent exists? What will you be doing when the nukes fall?

How can evidence be presented to either prove him guilty or not guilty if he flees the country to evade the trial?

This thread isn't about the election, it is about the government taking a bad turn towards fascism.

Oh, so you don't agree that we as a nation should have secure borders? We as a nation should stop sending jobs overseas with nothing to replace them with? You disagree that we should stop bringing in cheaper labor? I'm not just talking about farming jobs and digging trenches. I mean technical support, customer service, and other jobs that people do still try to get. You disagree with free speech? Because the only side trying to practice Fascism in any shape or form are the Democrats. The Democrats that rigged their own election to force your vaunted Sanders out. Then the very person who was incharge of the DNC and forcing Sanders out...gets hired by Hillary before the ink on her resignation papers could even dry. It just astounds me to see anyone on the left talk about fascism. Tell me again...who firebombed the GOP again? Right...the oh so "tolerant" left. Only they are only tolerant of you if you agree with them. Go against them...and they'll try and set you on fire.

Assange is not destroying the Democratic party. Hillary is massively ahead. 86% on 538.

Give them a break. They've had a rough couple of weeks. Let them cling to their fantasy for a couple more weeks. Then they'll have Trump's fraud trial and rape trial to look forward to.

[vipers]

Aww, poor guy.
Yet he apparently sexually assaulted women, ran away and hid in the ecuadorian embassy becuase he's too much of a coward to take responsibility for his own actions and he's now surprised that people are out to get him.

What a whiny little bitch.

issue is that if sweden gets him they probably going to give him to usa and there he is going jail rest of his life

Unlikely to happen.
He should end up behind bars though, theres no debate there.

1. nope.

I'm sure saying "Nope" to you counts as an effective defense. You know what works better? Facts.

"Nope"

You are either being willfully ignorant to the point of being actually stupid, or you're a horrible liar. Neither are redeeming character traits.

P.S. Clearly you didn't watch the video you linked, either.

[AndaliteBandit]

Completely coincidental that they have connections to Hillary Clinton, right?

You're continuing to spout conspiracy theories that have already been thoroughly debunked?

[Venant]

I completely agree with your points, however if this is turned into an election thread that would provide grounds for closing it. I believe that Bush was pretty bad in setting so many precedents to violate the liberties of individuals, and then Obama came along and it was like fascism with a big yellow smiley face covering up what was really happening. We now have a situation where democrats have turned into George W. Bush republicans that want to invade Syria and provoke a war with Russia and China.

Can someone explain this one to me? Why is a Goldman Sachs speech a Jewish speech?

[Dug]

Smells like BS to me, how would this story even get out if the connection was "severed"? Also it would only make ense than the entire embassies internet would be down, some type of signal jammers around the buildings and yet people from reddit have reported going to the embassy and having cell service just fine, some dude was even streaming. More bullshit from Assange just shilling for Trump.

Hilarious that he's a "hero" for whatever side he's batting for. Dude works for the highest bidder, simple as that.

Some people believe that "international banking community" is a slang for "the Jews".

[GennGreymane]

I remember when Wikileaks posted damning stuff, wtf happened?

[Breccia]

Actually that makes perfect sense. Assange almost certainly had an off-site server that did nothing but wait for Assange's password every 24 hours. When it didn't get his daily login, it sent out the "dead man's switch".
