I was told today that's a proxy from Panama.

This isn't WIKILEAKS.

This is something else. Likely the Anon folks from 4chan who hacked Podesta a couple weeks before the election. They also hacked his Twitter and posted crazy stuff on it publicly. His Twitter was taken down. They had his Apple iCloud contents. All of it. It's never been published before.

That was me that said that but what they have said is relevant. I didn't know about the wikileaks connection.

We know it's not Wikileaks. We are looking at the hosting site: it has a history with Wikileaks and they called for a boycott of this unethical web host selling out to government inquiries, in 2008.

The fact that the new site just "happens" to be hosted with them is not a coincidence. It's a honeypot.

The whole idea of a countdown is ridiculous, it's an invitation for a DDOS and almost smacks of viral marketing for a film.

Yes I did find the countdown odd for the very same reason.

The website is separate from the information dump. The information dump could happen n 4chan 8chan anywhere. Once the 'keys' are out, they're out.

Agree though. Anyone downloading anything better know what they're doing. Explains why taking down Wikileaks was such a priority.

That would make a little more sense, but still this is a company with numerous complaints after users had their sites shut down because the hosting company wanted to silence them. Why would the hosting company keep this website up?

That was my first thought, too. But since they "restored" keys and set this all up, it's not just a hasty project, but a project with dedicated people. Dedicated people don't know about Wikileaks former problems with eNom? You just don't register a domain in such a case - you research who is the best suited company.

And that raises a second red flag besides the illegal censorship practices of that company: you want anonymity and then you choose eNom?

Anyone downloading and using files from findingassange is well advised, to use them only on an isolated virtual machine.

Supposedly it is community members. Not WL directly. I don't see this as proof of anything.
