Scary timing. So one possible reason this could be is to stop him from rallying the troops.
You actually believe some 4channers when he says he is a intelligence officer? I have a bridge to sell you...

> wasn't considered a rapist but rather a role model in large chunks of the population Pop history. Be specific (time, place, evidence) or stop with the demon-haunted characterisations of the past.
1. Howard Roarke (The Fountainhead) 1943 Novel 2. Stanley Kowalski (A Streetcar Named Desire) 1947 Play Just two that spring to mind. I'm sure a diligent person could find plenty of other examples of rapist protagonists in 20th century literature.
I mean, didn't you read and discuss "Native Son" in high school? Do you think that the fact that its protagonist committed murder means that Richard Wright or society at the time approved of murder?
And by the way, when "The Fountainhead" and "Streetcar Named Desire" came out, those rape scenes were just about as controversial as the publication of "Native Son".

This particular 4channer posted this well before Assange's internet was cut. We now have complete radio silence from for >12 hours and embassy employees are no longer allowed to talk about him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_jhLcvoZqc
"no longer" ? It's quite likely that they were never allowed to talk about him
Does anyone honestly believe Hillary is not involved in this? She has shown time and time again that there is nothing she won't do to get what she wants and cling on to power.
What do you think Hillary's involvement is? What power does she have here?

He went ever further than that. He proposed to go to Sweden if he could be provided with a document promising he would not get deported to US. It was refused.
It's an absurd request. No country could issue such a document. For one thing, it would establish a precedent that the government could arbitrarily decide to overall any future decisions of the judiciary. For another, it would probably violate Sweden's treaty obligations.
I wonder if he's bluffing with the MD5 hashes that were tweeted out. No way to know.
It doubt its a bluff, as JA hasn't bluffed with these things before.
> Is the whole embassy shut down? Not likely. They're not just going to cut his Internet and then drone him the same day. They're hoping he comes out on his own. My guess is that if they decide to kill him they'd likely do it next Friday evening, on the bet that the deadman's switch has a 14-day timeout.
