Prior to the election insurance files were put out, the codes that accompanied were pre-commitment encryption hashes that are supposed to indicate if the contents of the files were tampered with (the resulting hash from a tampered file would be different). The encryption keys haven't been released to anything. There was also a mysterious hash tweeted out by Snowden, but I haven't heard a single thing of it since.
Yes, the files were put out with the understanding that there was a deadman's switch set to go off if whoever was in control of the release could no longer keep sending the all clear signal and as a result send out the keys to the unredacted files. So far, that hasn't happened, despite all the speculation that Assange has been compromised. The codes that accompanied them were to ensure that the unencrypted files, if the deadman switch were to go off and they were to be revealed, were not tampered with- because if they were, they would have a different hash.
I don't think they have. One of the wiki operatives said in order to release the encrypted files/dead man files, he had to travel somewhere and was not able to travel there. But if Asange isn't dead then they wouldn't release them.
Because it would show that he is alive in present day and can prove it. If he is as claimed at the embassy then it doesn't matter if it is traced as he cannot legally be touched there. If he isn't then it raises more questions which still could be answered by doing a live ama with a neutral background so as not to give away his location.
He can't expect people to carry on supporting Wikileaks when such suspicions are abound.
yes i understand your point, but there is other possibilies, one of them is : he is hiding, and not in embassy.
IF its the case, he (obviously) dont want make live video (fear to being located etc..)
And it also could explain why he cant have access to some social medias account, and why WL team ask us to stop asking for proof of life etc...
just a theory ,but possible...
Yes this is a possibility, that he escaped the embassy but it still wouldn't be difficult to ensure conditions are met that can show he is still alive (ie a current newspaper or tv with a live news broadcast in the shot, or answering questions put to him via another medium that would show he is still alive and safe etc.
i agree with you on that...all this shit is weird...i have no idea what is going on..but i still keeping hope that he is safe but hiding for some reasons...
maybe he is already in an other country and have a very limited access to internet or communication for security reasons...i dont know...but if it was the case we should not hear him on radio / phone interview too...so i really dont know...
Certainly suspicious. Even if they are a helpful third party, it would be unwise to bank on them. Someone speak up if we have any proof what WL is affiiliated with or endorses findingassange.com

I call BULLSHIT! This feels like a government psyop to keep people quiet.

Belongs to a web dev 'entrepreneur ', @DustinSnider (twitter) who wants to sell the site after it gets hyped enough

Agreed, this is dodgy out, feel certain Assange is dead now, fuck these cunts raping the innocent and silence our most courageous heroes

He's not dead until the dead man switch is activated. That's the whole fucking point of a dead man switch.

We've allowed those in power to continue their horrific agenda. As cliché as this may sound. Julian Assange died for our sins.
THE_LIES_OH_THE_LIES ago
This is definitely a joke/psyops. The dead man's keys are out there. Look at my top submission.

I remember the codes/keys being released before the election. But the actual leaks that need decoding have not been released. Right??

Ohhhh. Ok. So I had it backwards then. The files were put out with some codes to verify the files. The keys to unlock the files have not been put out.
In simple terms, Is that right?
I'm not well versed with computer talk ;)

At least that is my understanding of it.

I have no fucking idea anymore.

I don't know. Lol. No one really knows
THE_LIES_OH_THE_LIES ago
Most elaborate faking of death in the world if he is actually alive. I am so fucking doubtful.
dogeminho ago
I'd like to see him... But there is a theory he is hiding and a video would make it easier to locate him. I just pray he's alright
PoeticallyIncorrect ago
How do actual terrorists do it then?
norobotono ago
It still would not be impossible to do a livestream with a neutral background so as not to give away a location.
wh0care ago
How doing a live without risking to be traced ??
