WikiLeaks' Big Tuesday Announcement Will Now Take Place Via Video (thehill.com)
Long-time Slashdot reader SonicSpike writes that media outlets including Fox News were reporting WikiLeaks cancelled a big announcement scheduled for Tuesday and expected to reveal damaging information about Hillary Clinton. But they were all citing a tweet from NBC as their source. "Due to security concerns at the Ecuadorian Embassy, Julian Assange's balcony announcement on Tues has been cancelled," tweeted NBC producer Jesse Rodriguez -- which was apparently taken to mean the announcement had been cancelled altogether.
But six hours ago, citing WikiLeaks, that same producer reported that Assange "will appear via video link" at a Tuesday press conference in Berlin marking the 10th anniversary of WikiLeaks. While it's possible this "appearance" will be different than the originally scheduled "announcement," it also seems very possible that the NBC producer's tweets were just misunderstood.

We could only hope
This post has no content whatsoever. Maybe if Assange actually reveals something new it might be worth an article, but this seems an article that should have been rejected as content free.
The primary security concern is the balcony not being big enough or strong enough to support Julian's ego.
Learning HOW to think is more important than learning WHAT to think.
What do Hillary and Julian have in common?
They're both twats.
Captcha: damned

Shot himself 13 times in the back. Hillary Clinton unvailable for comment and does not recall anyway.
Alternative Right.
People hate authority. Most of them hate it simply because the authority they have experienced has not been just controlling, but also flagrantly stupid. Every public official is incompetent and they all want to tax you into oblivion and regulate minor details of behavior as life-changing events. Assange pushes back against authority. Even better, sometimes he nails really stupid authorities. We are all looking forward to whatever "October Surprise" he can cook up for The Establishment Candidate.
Alternative Right.
How can there possibly be any more damaging information than Hillary Clinton has already put on display herself!
We already have the email issue, the Clinton Foundation issue, the fact that the DNC intentionally torpedoed her rival in the primary, etc. I can't see anything else left to reveal that would be any more damaging at this point.
My feeling on both sides is that people should be grown up enough to realize that all politicians aren't "normal people." They have immense power, immense wealth, and are masters at manipulating people to get things they need done. The only reason we didn't hear about their inner circle of dealings in the past is because we didn't used to have every news agency in the country camped out on their doorsteps 24/7 listening to them breathe, or idiotic staffers who can't seem to get their heads around secure email and computer networks. I think we're actually lucky in the US in terms of the level of corruption in our political system..many more countries have it much worse.
Seriously, anyone who voluntarily goes out seeking political office is not normal, plain and simple. You can't expect them to act like regular people. Corporate executives fall into this category too -- most executives live on another planet compared to us in terms of their daily walk through life. You're just not going to get a regular person as a politician or an executive. Trying to hold them to standards like that just breeds disappointment and discontent.
I'm for that.
Why is he still in the Ecuadorian Embassy? Didn't the whole investigation get scrapped?
Anons need not reply. Questions end with a question mark.
Just reported in a way to lower the public's interest in a probably negative Clinton news.
I can just picture the 400 pound nerd coming up with new "app" themes for every story!

He has said that the next dump contains evidence that will get Hillary Clinton indicted.
I'm quite anxious to see what it is.
Perhaps an early Christmas present for the American people!
Hopefully they don't reveal Trump's tax return, because that will make Hillary look like an idiot for paying tax. Genius
Genius Trump Trump Genius. Winning.
#Genius. #Winning. #Gyna.
No matter what year it is over the last 2000 years, some nut thinks it's the Apocalypse.
The world's burning. Moped Jesus spotted on I50. Details at 11.
Assange will announce his first hardware product, the JulianFone. It will be designed to hack into all WiFi nodes within range, suck data from them and display a continuous scroll of surrounding secrets for your viewing pleasure.
It will run only one standard app, Tinder.
... the problem is that too few care. She's on the same 'D' team as 80% of the media, so every incompetent or corrupt act is explained away by legions of sycophants.
Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms should be the name of a store, not a government agency.
Never leave us, app appers LUDDITE AC guy.
will get very sick after winning if she is not dead all ready
Sick of your stupid idiotic shit..
Because the poster knew what the fuck he was talking about, maybe?
Il n'y a pas de Planet B.
You have to keep up on the /. herd mentality. It changes regularly, and typically by Pi radians.
If Jesus returned today, I think he would be shocked and dismayed to learn that he's the centre of a religion. Especially one that manages to ignore as inconvenient a great deal of what he actually taught.
Il n'y a pas de Planet B.
To be fair, this has been going on for at least 3.000 years.
I generally agree with denouncing the supporter bashing, no matter victim or source. However this is an apt allegory. Either we get the slaughterhouse owner, or we get the farmer that is chained via purse strings to the slaughterhouse owner. To think that one is better than the other from a steer's view is folly.
That's American Politics.
Wrong! #CrookedJesus is a big loser and also a Jew (which is fine) but believe me, he had terrible ratings. Terrible ratings. And he didn't have my temperament and stamina. If you want to be messiah, you've got to have stamina. I said, stamina. I prefer my messiahs not to get captured by Romans and crucified, all right? Sad!
I was going to say something very rough about Jesus and a prostitute. Very rough. But I'm not going to go there, all right?
You are welcome on my lawn.
> I think he would be shocked and dismayed to learn that he's the centre of a religion
If that was true, it's not clear to me why Jesus would appoint a bunch of leaders and say things like "I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father but by Me."
If Hillary is a farmer and trump is the slaughterhouse, maybe its time to stampede the fucking fence....
If he returned today, he'd get a bus full of his righteous bros and ship it to Colorado. He would sit around on welfare thumbing his hairy arsehole, eating TV dinners, smoking legal weed, and drinking cheap wine coolers. Him and his disciples would watch History Channel programs and blaze it.
The fence is surrounded by caltrops and land mines, and is charged to 8,000 volts.
Oh my GOD! Who the hell CARES ?!
Help! I am a self-aware entity trapped in an abstract function!
Appctually they were talking about Appsange you apphole
Its all about whos football team is moderately for or moderately against abortion rights judicial appointments. Yes I said football team.
Awe come on I think you're BOTH pretty.
Set the fire to the building to force him out and it will be on his head and not the one shot one kill guy.
You forgot to mention that Jesus had really small hands, pathetic, he wasn't winning with his tiny hands. Sad.
By the way, just for the record I don't think Jesus had hands. I don't think there ever was Jesus, most likely just a fictional character, not even a real guy. Of-course there is no god, so even if there was a guy, he was just a third party candidate, so he didn't end up doing that well...
You can't handle the truth.
Jesus is actually quite annoyed by all these "christians"... I loved John Niven's The Second Coming (not for the easily offended)
Sick of yours. There is simply no reasonable doubt that Clinton is corrupt. She has (personally) taken tens of millions from literally every special interest that is dangerous to liberty. There's no other word for this than "corruption". Her foreign policy is bald faced neocon. Her health is not good (she collapsed after standing for 30 minutes in sweltering 79 degree shade). And she runs a foundation which is very obviously a political slush fund with a tiny piece of "charitable aid" tacked on for pretenses.
Your candidate is a joke. Your inability to think critically is even funnier.
when there is an actual announcement, everything else is a waste of bandwidth
All of that could be true, and she'd still be a better option than your tiny-handed orange-faced wannabe tyrant.
I do not want your cheap brainburning drugs. They are useless for work. And I am a working man today.
Let me guess: Assange send a team of experts to Hawaii, and they can't BELIEVE what they are finding.
USA, Saudi Arabia, Iran.. Religious extremists.
No Jesus ever spoke those words (or any other words, but that's another issue entirely): a crazy christian in the first half of the second century came up with that line that nobody before him ever heard. A christian can't be well read into the Bible: he has to misinterpret it completely or he has to give up on christianity.
"the blood of Jesus is our only salvation."
An old Woody Allen joke is that he once saved a girl from a rapist... by self-controlling himself. You think Jesus is going to save you, but who is going to destroy you if not Jesus himself? If you believe in the insane angelic mythology satan doesn't have any reason to destroy you, he at most wants you as an ally against his foe, so you are going to be fine, and even if you thing there is a satan who wants to destroy you for no reason at all, well who created satan? If you only believe that the punishment for nonbelievers is eternal death, well who made our universe that way, with entropy and all? Thank you very much Jesus! And more importantly, if you believe in an eternal life with no entropy, who will save you from that hell? If there's no entropy nothing will ever happen, you won't be able to think, love, create, crave for stuff, anything at all... you will be just a salt statue perpetually looking at the eye of sauron.
Ever since he started to play in "politics" with a particular bias and trying to influence the outcome of the American election he has lost all credibility with me. I'm betting he can't get his head and his ass (in whatever car he owns) at the same time!
Wikileaks should dump him (if possible).

I saw thousands of people celebrating when he was nailed to the cross...
And Gary Johnson, despite his verbal stumbling on Aleppo, is a more experienced and qualified candidate than either one of those losers. Arguing whether the corrupt oligarch NWO tyrant is better than the xenophobic "Christian Nationalist" ignorant rich boy is a laughable concept at best.
BOTH of your candidates are not just unfit but downright dangerous as well as being a very serious threat to liberty and prosperity in this country. So you know what? Fuck you both! If you aren't voting third party at this point you're part of god damn problem and collaborating with the enemy as far as I'm concerned. I'm voting for liberty and keeping the feds out of my damn life in November. You idiots vote for whoever you want to.
The only "wasted vote" is a vote for Clinton or Trump.
You over look the fact courts tend to use Black's Law Dictionary and not Webster's. Proving intent is required.
Show Me on the doll where Hillary touched You.
I couldn't find a thread I liked in this post, though. I'm a Trump supporter, but I am a realist. I have a hard time imagining anything Assange could release that would be material to this race.
I'll be pleased to be proven wrong, but I'm a skeptic.
HBI's Law: Frequency of calling others Nazis is directly correlated with the likelihood of the accuser being Communist.
Drake was indicted for, basically, having five "classified" documents in his home, two of which were not really classified. He didn't show them to anybody else, there wasn't any evidence he meant to have them (he had thousands of unclassified documents stored in his home) they weren't on a server or available to the public in any way. That was worth an indictment.

"And you know cyber is becoming so big today. It’s becoming something that number of years ago, short number of years ago, wasn’t even a word. And now the cyber is so big, and you know look at what they’re doing with the internet. How they’re taking recruiting people through the internet. And part of it is the psychology because so many people think they’re winning. And you know, there’s a whole big thing. Even today, psychology — where CNN came out with a big poll. Their big poll came out today that Trump is winning. It’s good psychology, you know. It’s good psychology. I know that for a fact because people that didn’t call me yesterday, they’re calling me today. So that’s the way life works right?"
That's what makes this sting for Trump. People expect Trump to do well because he's such a great business man. Anything that undermines that narrative is a major thorn in his side.
Hi! I make Firefox Plug-ins. Check 'em out @ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-mp3-podcaster/
even on the right wing sites the closed I could find were folks being fired for what Hilary did. And a firing is up to her boss, which would be Obama. The rest of the "Examples of folks Jailed" were all people who sold classified info to foreign governments.
Nevermind the fact that _everybody_ in the State department was doing what Hilary did. Probably the greatest moment in her career was when a bunch of folks were saying Colin Powel advised her to set up the server and she got up and said: "No, I take full responsibility for my actions" and then a few weeks later it got leaked that Colin did, in fact, suggest running that server. If nothing else that shows a surprising amount of loyalty that she's yet to get any credit for.

What a load of crap.
A train is out of control on a track. You have access to a switch that could send it to one track with 2 people on it, or another with 5. Those are the choices my friend. You don't get to say, "I'd fix the brakes", or call Superman. Your vote for Johnson will have the affect of rolling dice to decide which track the train takes - which, I suppose if you really think there's no difference between Clinton or Trump on any issue you care about, is rational. But of course the thought that there's no difference is irrational in and of itself.
At best, your point is that we need a different system for electing Presidents - and possibly a large turnout for Johnson might inch that into being. I'd say there are better ways - like electing Johnson (or Sanders, or Stein, or Nader)-like candidates to Congress or State legislatures from districts where they stand a chance of winning. And then changing the election system through a process that can actually do it. Because Presidencies have long-term repercussions, so they're best not used to 'send a message' when there are other, better ways.
Posted from my Android phone. Oh, I can change this? There, that's better...
Holy crap, you're Trump's speech writer!
there is no god
what do you think you have to gain with your phony atheism gag, and do you really think you're fooling anyone with it? compared to you, the pope is an atheist. just because you worship someone who is currently alive rather than a non-physical deity doesn't mean you qualify as an atheist.
Really, well I just watched a speech by Neil Degrasse Tyson this morning that I found rather compelling. In it he pointed out how the Middle east "was" a major center for learning and culture around a thousand years ago. They pretty much invented our current understanding of basic mathematics, astronomy and several other subjects. Then they began taking their religion too seriously and they've never recovered from that act of stupidity. I think he referred to it as "revelations over investigations". I didn't get to finish the video but think what he was basically getting at was if we're not careful we might join them, a tale of warning told by future historians about the remaining superpower of the technological/industrial revolution which squandered its influence, money and resources trying to "prove" religious doctrine (building mythical Arcs, invading countries with different belief systems, avoiding discussions of sex/evolution/science in schools, discriminating against people with different beliefs, outlawing/policing "immoral" (see religiously forbade) activities, etc) and eventually collapsing in on itself.
Trump is a textbook example of the type of people the establishment works for.
No, this is a flat out lie!!! Trump is quintessentially anti-establishment. He bootstrapped his election with his own money. He's HATED by the GOP establishment; so many that there will be defections to the Democrat party. And then, this shit about him working for the establishment??! You motherfucking cock-sucking shills for the DNC; go choke on a dick!
Life is not for the lazy.
What a load of crap.

The lesser of two evils is still evil. I'm all for destroying the tracks ahead of the train and using the fallout from the deadly chaos as a good reason to lay new tracks and build a better and more reliable train. That way the out of control train is destroyed far away from my town where a trainwreck would be more catastrophic.
In the ways most pertinent to me, this is choice of which disgusting tyranny I'd rather endure.... my answer is neither.
But of course the thought that there's no difference is irrational in and of itself.

There's already around 600 libertarians in public office throughout the US, most of them in local or state government. Many Republicans have switched parties as well since the Republicans gradual shift toward becoming the "Christian Nationalist Party" became ever more apparent.
Yes, presidencies have long term repercussions which is precisely why we need qualified people with actual experience governing in that position. Clinton has experience screwing up foreign policy and Trump has experience being a spoiled rich boy smart enough not to play games with his own money when driving businesses into the dirt. Neither of which are something we need to endure at this critical juncture. Both Johnson and Weld are popular 2-term governors with a track record of actual leaving their respective states FAR better off than when they started. And they are on the ballot in all 50 states. Hardly a fringe protest vote.
If you think forcing a shitty destructive candidate down our throats simply to preserve a corrupt and dying 2 party system is "the better way" you are delusional, simply engaging in wishful thinking or just like to parrot popular views concocted to preserve a screwed up system.
But, hey, if you like the current oligarchy feel free to waste your vote on one of those two weasels.
Actions have consequences.
Nope. We have intent. There were explicit instructions given to destroy all data on the hard drive AFTER the investigation began.
This is open and shut.
NEGLIGENCE. The omission to do something which a reasonable man, guided by those considerations which ordinarily regulate the conduct of human affairs, would do. or doing something which a prudent and reasonable man would not do. It must be determined in all cases by reference to the situation and knowledge of the parties and all the attendant circumstances.
Hillary's email server was secured the same way that the "reasonable predecessor (aka C. Powell https://www.engadget.com/2016/...)" used. While you can say that slashdot users know better, average joe blow or a braindead politician would not know how to secure an email server, so by definition of law there is no negligence here.
Remind me, which candidate will start the Apocalypse if they're elected president?
Well, at least I've coaxed you into revealing your utterly nihilistic thought process. My job for today is done - vote for whomever you please, and I hope anybody reading this gets that your advice may be counter-productive - by design.

I've voted 3rd party ever since Reagan. Can't do it this time. The Clinton/Bush establishment machine is just too obvious for me not to see that they won't allow another "election" to threaten their thirst for power if they get the WH again. This may very well be the last chance to take back control of our country through the ballot box. Clinton is just long-time, known, self-serving evil. I can't be a part of putting them in power over my child's future.
Trump may turn out to be just as bad, but he could be for real. Anyone who'll spend the time to go over his positions( donaldjtrump.com ), and actually pay attention to what he says in full context, should realize that the racist buffoon portrayal is just political fear-mongering. I'm greatly encouraged by the establishment's horror and consternation, on both sides, at the notion of Trump as President. At least there's a possibility he's real. I'm frankly terrified for my child if the Clintons get another stint in the WH.
I'm voting Trump for President this time, but I'll still vote 3rd party everywhere else possible....

This is why the Free State Project was started, and why other groups such as the Shire Society, and similar all across New Hampshire have sprung up. 20,000+ people are migrating here and 10% have already moved. The biggest problem is the acceptance by the masses and the status quo. They won't vote for anything other than a democrat or republican and certainly not for someone who wants to eliminate government. If you want to get rid of government you need to migrate to New Hampshire and take part in the mass migration of liberty-minded individuals who would rather have some risk in life rather than be controlled, and don't buy into any of the FUD presented by the politicians. The real threat is the US government, not Russia/Iran/North Korea/Iraq, paedophiles, homosexuals, rapists, communists, terrorists, drug dealers, gun advocates, teenagers (yea, they keep upping the driving age, etc), or any of the other boogeyman that supposedly threaten us.
Check out www.freekeene.com and www.freestateproject.org for more on what is happening in New Hampshire.
Not sure why you think that's so nihilistic. If the citizens on the tracks are a metaphor for the people who will get screwed over by which direction it takes..... I would simply vote to stop the train by whatever means necessary and screw over the people that boarded a train they most likely helped sabotage in the first place. Seems pretty damn logical to me if "fixing the brakes" or SuperMan aren't options.
Whether now or later, stopping the train MUST happen. I'd rather it happened when I was still relatively young and able to recover.
So, I'm a "troll" huh? Could I have asked for a better confirmation of the spiritual condition of today's society? When i get to heaven, I'm going to find Jonah first thing, and let him know just how much he spoke to me...
I'll tell each of you young(and not so young) people the same thing I tell my own grown child, and every one else I care for. You remain ignorant of, or rely on others to explain to you, the contents of the Holy Scriptures at the peril of your own eternal soul.
Here's a man, https://www.youtube.com/watch?... ,who was working in information and military technologies at the highest levels while most all of us were still learning not to shit our pants. I'm nobody, barely a half century of life experience, not much reason for any of you to give me a second thought. But, I dare any of you "educated", "intelligent" men to give Mr. Missler an honest hour of your time and come back saying there's nothing to be gained from a solid personal investigation of the message of the Bible.

No, both his post and yours contain absolutely nothing to back them up and are obviously lies, yet get modded "insightful" and "interesting", while the one that questions it is "flamebait". Obviously the clinton trolls got some mod points today.
How's David Brock doing, btw? He still buying you idiots off with pizza?
...that worked out for him in 2000, when the media was so busy ratfucking him over invented fibs they didn't notice Bush taking credit for a bill he vetoed as governor of Texas.
The media giving Hillary a pass on her lies, corruption and incompetence has nothing to do with her party affiliation - which should clearly be R - and everything to do with her being part of the status quo.
You are right, calling Trump the slaughterhouse owner is seriously unfair... to slaughterhouse owners, who in this metaphor would be Sheldon Adelson and the Koch Brothers.
Trump is more like the crazy guy in the scarecrow suit who is asking the cows to vote for him to burn the barn down with them in it.
Unicode killed the ASCII-art *
Because voting for a third party won't have the metaphorical effect of stopping the train.
Clinton or Trump is going to be elected, whether or not you think the system by which that happens is corrupt. And calls to 'blow up the tracks' are about as likely to change that corrupt system as your vote is to get Johnson or Stein elected. That's why Bernie Sanders chose not to attempt to run as a 3rd party candidate - he's made the calculation that he can get more of his program enacted by helping elect Clinton than by 'making a statement about the corrupt system'. He's already made that statement in the primary season, and sabotaging the general election won't make that statement any stronger - it'll just make him ignorable as a a saboteur.
I would suggest that your feeling that your protest vote will stop the train - or even move the needle in that direction - is where the narcissism/nihilism lines start to get crossed...

Anything coming from wikileaks regarding Clinton is tainted by Asange's revenge motives. :-)
Maybe he should release the Drumpf's tax returns so demonstrate his integrity?
You are not a troll, you are a brainwashed moron who thinks he understand scripture, but DEMONSTRABLY doesn't know who wrote those books, when they wrote them and why, and not even what they are talking about. The video you posted PROVES that you are an uneducated moron, because instead of linking to at least some respectable academic work you prefer that same fundamentalist nonsense that's been plaguing the world for thousands of years, and by brainwashing your children you make sure that vicious cycle of ignorance and superstition will go on.
A case in point is Danel. The moron you linked to claims the bible contains prophecies about future events revealed by an extraterrestrial entity. Daniel is surely among the prophecies he has in mind: it contains a lot of historical predictions that would be remarkably accurate ... had it been written down in the 6th century BCE, like it pretends to be. But it was actually written in the 2th century BCE, long after all those historical facts already happened and were common knowledge. The same trick is used in all the other books, even the gospels, there is no real prophecy in the entire bible, they are all 1) post-facto fake prophecies like much of Daniel, 2) completely failed prophecies that were later reinterpreted as still current prophecies because some moron believes the bible can't be wrong like Jeremiah, 3) vague statements that are bound to became true given sufficient time, or 4) common prose misinterpreted as prophecy by lunatics like you, even with the help of the linguistic mismatch between hebrew and koine.
I'm at the point in the video where the talking moron claims the bible predicted modern cosmology, guess what, every islamic moron makes EXACTLY the same claim for his holy book, and with EXACTLY the same amount of evidence (zero). A thinking brain can't believe this stuff, it takes some serious brainwashing. Oh well...
He doesn't have anything to gain by claiming there is no god, that's why he looks more honest than all those guys claiming there is a god just to cheat death. And he is not worshipping anyone, it's all in your head.
And he is not worshipping anyone, it's all in your head.
Have you read much of what roman writes here? He is a ardent follower and recruiter for the church of Ron Paul. Nearly everything he says here comes from the gospel of Ron Paul or the holy scriptures of Ayn Rand. Everything he writes is bait to try to convert people - or is blatantly attempting to do so. As the previous AC stated, the pope is an atheist in comparison to the unending faith that drives every single word roman writes here. That is why roman has a sock puppet account that he conveniently sometimes forgets to acknowledge to be his, that he uses when he feels he needs extra exposure for his religion.
I find it often cute and clever, though some of them fall flat.
I also found the moo ones funny, but I am weird like that.
APK likes to ask for responses to the same things over and over. Maybe he just likes the responses?
