The UK Guardian is reporting:
Material that originated from Ecuadorian embassy was reportedly offered for sale
WikiLeaks has said it has uncovered a surveillance operation against Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy and that images, documents and videos gathered have been offered for sale.
Spanish police were said to have mounted a sting operation against unnamed individuals in Madrid who offered the material for sale in what lawyers and colleagues of Assange said on Wednesday was an attempt at extortion.
Some of the material came from video cameras with a capacity to record audio and which had been installed last year, a press conference organised by WikiLeaks was told.
WikiLeaks said material including video, audio, copies of private legal documents and a medical report had turned up in Spain, where a group was said to have threatened to start publishing unless they were paid €3m (£2.6m).
The Guardian reported last year that Ecuador had bankrolled a multimillion-dollar surveillance operation to protect and support Assange at the embassy, employing an international security company and undercover agents to monitor his visitors, embassy staff and even the British police.
Kristinn Hrafnsson, the editor-in-chief of WikiLeaks, said he had met four individuals, one of whom he was told was a ringleader and who had prior convictions. There was a possibility that at least one was not a Spanish national, he added. The matter is now in the hands of an investigating Spanish magistrate, according to the whistleblowing website.
Hrafnsson said the surveillance at the embassy – which had led to Assange living a “Truman Show existence” – was part of an escalation designed to result in Assange being extradited to the US.
“If you connect the dots it’s easy to draw that picture,” said Hrafnsson, who was appearing with the barrister Jennifer Robinson and Fidel Narváez, a former consul of Ecuador in London.
WikiLeaks said the surveillance had constituted a total invasion of privacy, which had included recordings of Assange’s meetings with his lawyers and doctor.
Robinson, a lawyer at Doughty Street Chambers who has long advised Assange, described the surveillance as a severe breach of lawyer-client privilege, which had undermined the ability of his legal team to properly defend their client.
Copies of photos, videos and documents recovered from the alleged extortionists were projected on to a screen at the press conference. There was no immediate comment from Ecuadorian authorities or Spanish police.
In March last year, Ecuador cut off Assange’s internet connection, saying he had breached an agreement not to issue messages that might interfere with other states. In a statement, the government said his behaviour on social media “put at risk the good relations [Ecuador] maintains with the United Kingdom, with the other states of the European Union, and with other nations”.
WikiLeaks believes Assange would be extradited to the US if he left the building and was arrested by the Metropolitan police on an outstanding warrant for failing to surrender to bail.
In his first year in office, Ecuador’s president, Lenín Moreno, called Assange a “hacker”, an “inherited problem” and a “stone in the shoe”.
If Assange has released everything, why this attempt at extortion? And why arrest him, now? Remember: He never released Phase III
Assange sparked the pizzagate investigation October 7, 2016 when Wikileaks began to release the Podesta emails an hour after the Trump Access Hollywood video was released. Citizen investigators, appetites whetted by the DNC email leaks and hints of child trafficking from FBIAnon in July 2016, fell on the leaks like locusts. October 17, U.S. SoS John Kerry visited the Ecuadorian embassy and forced them to cut Assange's internet but Wikileaks kept publishing Podesta emails daily.
Then the internet as a whole was shutdown across much of the U.S. October 21, 2016 by a DDoS attack against domain name registrar Dyn. The Obama administration pointed at the time it was the Russians:
"This cyberattack comes at a time of heightened tension, with the US claiming it will retaliate against Russia after accusing the country of orchestrating hacks of the Democratic National Committee.
The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI are aware of the attacks and investigating "all possible causes," DHS told Mashable."
Pizzagate investigator @RebelSkum reported the internet shutdown coincided with Reddit mod tampering with r/Wikileaks:
"Theories abound as to why the attack took place, however the culprit(s) remain unknown. The attack did not seem to benefit Anonymous or Wikileaks much, and it could have just as likely been a multi-staged attack on those organizations to prevent the eventual creation of #Pizzagate.
The attack took place during the time the public was becoming aware of the Podesta situation. Thus the attackers could buy time for parties afraid of the contents of those emails, distract and frighten the public, and make an enemy out of organizations who would eventually investigate them.
Before and during this time there was also a great deal of suspicious Reddit mod activity, including the removal of many posts from /r/WikiLeaks [5] "
From the time Assange was silenced, there was an onslaught of trolls attempting to convince people Wikileaks was a CIA-controlled honeypot. Here's a thread implying Assange was extracted from the embassy and extradited to the U.S. on October 21, 2016. During the campaign, Hillary worked hard to paint Assange as a Putin operative:
During the second debate between the two presidential candidates, on 9 October 2016, Hillary Clinton accused Russian hackers for the leak of information to WikiLeaks, presumably working under the orders of Vladimir Putin: "... But you know, let's talk about what's really going on. Because our intelligence community said the Kremlin, meaning Putin and the Russian government, are directing the attacks, the hacking, on American accounts to influence our election ... And believe me, they're not doing it to get me elected. They're doing it to try to influence the election for Donald Trump".
Remember, Assange began releasing the information in phases, but his internet was shut down before "Phase III" could be released. To this day, no one knows what "Phase III" contained, or why Wikileaks failed to release it.
Is this why Ecuador installed video cameras to record Assange 24/7?
The indictment against him was filed months ago...why wait until now to arrest him?
If Assange goes to trial, will it allow the defense to make Phase III documents part of the public record?
Does this have anything to do with Obama warning Berliners in his April 6 town hall speech to beware of fake videos that cause political upheaval? At 1:08:29 he says,
"It's going to get worse with AI. You're gonna start seeing... If you think Fake News is bad now, what you're gonna start seeing is the ability to duplicate people's speech and figures so that distinguishing what's true and what's not is going to become even more difficult."
Remember when Jennifer Palmieri tried to get ahead of "fakes" from Wikileaks the week after they announced Phase III was coming?

Exemplary work here, Vin. (have read update comments too)
Speculation aside, thank you for putting such an effort into looking into Assange's situation. Means a lot that you're able to take up that mantle while I'm feeling down.
Wish I could help, but my mind has been mired in fog the past few days.

Holy shit!
QAnon posted links to Wikileaks and referred to Pizzagate the same day the indictment against Assange was filed archive
He made three back-to-back drops: https://files.catbox.moe/w0mk6j.png
The first one links to an email from Hillary Clinton to Cheryl Mills with an all-caps subject line that reads: NEWS REPORT ON MISSING KIDS IN HAITI. Clinton says "As predicted." The original had several photos attached which were unavailable on Wikileaks. Q shares it and says:
In the second drop four minutes later, Q quotes himself and adds:
That drop links to an email from Cheryl Mills to Hillary with the subject line "(AP) Haiti PM: U.S. Baptists knew removing kids was wrong" and the text "FYI".
The third drop about three hours later is a screencap of a New York Times piece on...FAKE VIDEOS!!!!
Waaat? I just wondered about the connection between Obama mentioning fake videos and Assange being nabbed in the OP!!! A year ago, QAnon paired the two as well! Are we about to see a Hillary Haiti kid vid???

Here's the Justice Dept press release about Assange's indictment. These are the people who are going after him:
The three prosecutors who signed the indictment (pdf here) were Doherty-McCormick, Dwyer and Traxler.
What do we know about these three?
Is Kellen Dwyer related to Budd Dwyer, the Pennsylvania treasurer who shot himself to death on live television after being falsely accused of tax crimes?
And WTF is this? Doherty-McCormick has apparently been in a patent dispute over cold fusion technology by Dr. Michell Swartz, who has filed appeals, has a website loaded with QAnon and Tesla memes and has called out the US Patent Office for corruption. Doherty-McCormick appears as US Attorney on a number of Swartz' court documents.
This is getting very odd!

Two days after Tesla's death, representatives of the Office of Alien Property went to his room at the New Yorker Hotel and seized all his possessions. Dr. John G. Trump, an electrical engineer with the National Defense Research Committee of the Office of Scientific Research and Development, was called in to analyze the Tesla papers in OAP custody."

Kellen Dwyer is not a direct descendant of Budd Dwyer based on his wife's obituary. Maybe a nephew or something. After doing a little searching I found out that he did fuck up and leak that Assange was going to be charged back on November 15, 2018 courtesy of this loony leftist blog.

Being sold to the highest bidder. Whether it's for sex trafficking, organ harvesting or legitimate adoption.
Here is where something extremely disturbing occurred to me. I did a little searching focused on Idaho baptist church and child abuse and turned up this article related to Silsby right around the time she was caught. From the article:
Obviously, the church is what people are taught to trust the most. What if the implication is that some of these organizations are not against abortion because of the sanctity of life but because they can profit off it it via adoptions? We all know how much abuse takes place through the legal system via CPS. Why take all the risks of smuggling people across multiple borders when you could create a homegrown 'farm' system via adoption as opposed to abortions? Back when I was married we discovered my wife was incapable of having children so we tried to adopt. Fifteen thousand dollars later and we had nothing to show for it. Not even a hint of interest. Yet, you have people like these two sickos who were somehow able to adopt six children.
As for the video faking stuff, I have no idea. It's obviously damage control for something that might surface. Maybe it is about the rumored frazzledrip video in some context after all.

Unfortunately, you are probably correct. We've investigated that quite a bit here over the past two years. Q has repeatedly noted kids are trafficked from Haiti for the purposes of human sacrifice.

Been doing some digging in our archives and discovered that on October 17, 2017, mysterious user alphabravo (who got us started researching QAnon November 1, 2017 and then disappeared) posted a comment quoting MegaAnon, who said Assange was holding off on releasing "Phase III" because Trump wanted Mueller to release the information. The prior day, MegaAnon had said Phase III included material from Weiner's laptop.
Alphabravo's original 4chan links are 404, but I dug up the archives of them. This comment is in a submission he made on the topic, which was deleted by @Millennial_Falcon:
If any of this is true, it seems to confirm my theory that the timing between Assange's arrest and the Mueller report being finished is not a coincidence.
If you'd like to dig more into the topic of Phase III, there are a lot of goodies scattered around that ought to be looked into. Here's the SearchVoat for "Wikileaks October surprise" that led me to alphabravo's deleted post and comment.
@Sandhog @WhiteRonin @think- @srayzie

Thanks for the ping.
Not sure what the current state of our investigations into this is - didn't we come to the conclusion that the NYPD never had the Weiner laptop, but that it was handed over directly by his attorneys to the FBI?
Vindicator ago
I don't recall that specific detail. Last I heard we discussed the search warrant for Weiner's devices, and the report of the detective that mentioned "Crime against children". We need to dig this up and clarify it. I never followed MegaAnon so I don't have a solid sense of whether they were reliable or not. Definitely worth looking back into.
SandHog ago
Interesting. This bit caught my attention though because the Comey memos came up again just a couple days ago:
It seems like there is a lot more to these Comey memos than what alphabravo thought.
Ugh, there is so much shit happening and moving parts to all of this that I'm having trouble keeping up with it all and keeping the timeline of everything straight.
Vindicator ago
Yeah, that's why I started trying to piece together the Podesta email drop timeline at the end of the OP above. Makes your head spin!
SandHog ago
It really does. It doesn't help that some of this stuff moves so slow that you don't even think about it again for 6 months or a year later. Feels like things are finally starting to come to a head now, though.

It proves what I have been saying about Mueller being a turned black hat.
Comey ... I still don’t trust.
Nor do I like pence. He’s up their with Creepy Joe for me.
I’m still not sure about Jullian. I don’t want to see him busted for releasing info since that’s a journalistic problem. But if he Gave up his dump ... no that would be a huge thing.
Vindicator ago
With all the different attacks coming at him and his associates right now from different directions, it seems like he is at the epicenter of the struggle between the clowns and the whitehats at the moment.
It strikes me that this would be a great way to generate hype and outrage among the regular folks prior to big revelations. I recall Assange doing quite a bit of stuff to generate buzz in the fall of 2016 leading up to both sets of email leaks, and again with Vault 7. One thing about Julian Assange...he tends to unite a lot of different factions and focus their discontent with corruption like a laser beam.

I guess we'll know what's going on for sure if Phase III gets dumped in the next couple of weeks. I've been dying to know what is in it.

There is a possibility that it's Trump's people keeping Assange buttoned up because they are not ready yet for full disclosure of Clinton crimes against kids.
NinaSparrow ago
Let's pray that is the case. This is insanity! 🙏🏼
SandHog ago
It very well could be and I do hope that is the case. My point being that if Phase III gets dropped in the next little while it would be evidence that the relationship is not cooperative.
Vindicator ago
Another possibility to consider is that the UK (or someone else) needed to clog the news cycle
SandHog ago
I've never been a big fan of the 'clog the news cycle' theory because for it to function it implicitly relies upon the media being unbiased and we all know that they aren't. There really isn't any need to create an event to clog the cycle since they all collaborate anyway and things are happening all the time. They could all just pick a story at random to focus on in order to justify not covering something important. They just ignore or barely touch on the stories that are damaging to their interests.
CNN and their fixation on the Malaysia Air crash several years ago springs to mind. They covered that story in insane detail long beyond the point anyone gave a shit about it. Seemed like it went on for 6 months or so. I never really paid much attention at the time but in hindsight they were probably attempting to avoid covering anything damning about Obama and his administration.
Vindicator ago
Well, I didn't see many talking about AG Barr and the FISAgate stuff today.

Yeah, I haven't seen any of that either. That's some 3rd rail shit and they are going to avoid that until they absolutely have to cover it.
