The whole story was prompted by a non-ironic tweet that their internet was cut off, so it fits.
As the embassy is in the middle of London why can't anyone (a journalist maybe) pop by and see what is going on? Or maybe just call by phone?

It's pretty well known that Assange has a vendetta against Hillary Clinton. Just searching for Assange Clinton on Google brings up lots of articles on the subject.
No, it's pretty well known that Assange claims to have a vendetta against HRC. The details of that vendetta don't make much sense. It's clearly easier for him and his supporters to claim that they're acting out of enmity towards Clinton --- a minor figure in virtually all of Assange's dealings with the US --- than to simply cop to the fact that they are aggressively and overly supporting Donald Trump. Nerddom and the…
This is hard to swallow.
There is nothing in Wiki/Assange past behaviour that would indicate they would like to support Trump.
Unless: They like 'whoever is against Hillary'
OR
Wiki is getting a lot of support from Russia, and they may be indirectly leaning towards conspiring with them for political favour etc..
Putin just might have enough pull to eventually get Assange out of his prison.

Given his attitude, Trump seems way more likely to invade other countries and n general sable rattle. Also, I wouldn't call what Obama did sable rattling. Russia did invade several countries in the last years (Georgia, Ukraine, and maybe I'm missing one more?). If you don't have a good response for that, then how can you be trusted to defend your other allies (Poland, etc.)
Georgia attacked first, after the US-sponsored 'Rose Revolution', and the US also sponsored 2 'revolutions' in Ukraine. Crimea was hardly invaded, it was a region which had tried in the past to separate from Ukraine. Again, both actions you cite were reactions to US meddling in the region in the first place. The fact Trump hasn't threatened any new invasions is already an improvement. PS. Do you know who Mikheil Saak…

I concur with this view. I don't necessarily think the Wikileaks are not valid, but from my point of view, Wikileaks lost all credibility being 100% anti-Hillary, with zero anti-Trump information released. Somehow I don't think the RNC would have much different internal e-mails floating around at this point. That being said, I read the Goldman transcripts and other things that were supposed to be so damaging, and the…
I don't think it's entirely fair to blame this imbalance on Wikileaks; they may not have received any information derogatory to the Trump campaign. Wikileaks' current agenda appears to be to disrupt Western governments through leaking damaging information. I don't see a clear preference for political parties; the Manning leaks were damaging to the Republican Bush administration. I believe that the most probable sourc…
There are multiple access points, some within Federal Government.

To be fair, it's because Clinton and her staff have called both publicly and privately for him to be executed, extrajudicially if need be. I'd have a grudge too.
That's a rather extraordinary statement to make without providing any substantiation! I had a quick search around to see what I could find, and I did find a recent tweet from Wikileaks showing a clip from some pundit on Fox News called Bob Beckel calling for exactly that: https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/763380671796678656/vide... But a little further checking showed that despite this being tweeted in August this…

(not particularly partisan, many calls for his death-- honestly mostly from the right but not exclusively.)
I had began archiving the /news and /newest because a lot of the Wikileak threads I was upvoting were disappearing into the ether . Seems they were getting mass-flagged/killed, this one survived. Also seems there has been discussion earlier today but the threads were mass-flagged off the front page.

>There is no evidence Russia is involved. That's not what the FBI investigation is saying: > Director of National Intelligence James Clapper and Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said Friday that they are confident that senior-level Russian officials were involved in the hacks. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/john-podesta-wikileaks...
Because we haven't seen any collusion between the DNC and the FBI this year...
Are you implying that the DNC intentionally leaked the emails to wikileaks and are colluding with the FBI to blame Russia?

The first question to ask with any James O'Keefe video is "where is the raw video." He has a long and sordid history of fabricating these kinds of storylines.
As long as you hold Michael Moore to the same standard.

I'd like a source on Clinton herself calling for Assange's execution.
I would also add that to the American people and to our friends and partners, I want you to know that we are taking aggressive steps to hold responsible those who stole this information.
