We have no prior knowledge about this site but from what we have seen so far, its worthy. The links seem good. The information is credible. But in these odd days one could make nearly any claim and the only ones that wouldn’t be true are the ones which we would think of as 1980s normal.
The government is probably going to try and make this one disappear down the memory hole. Situations like this are why the alternative news sources are so vital.
I want to believe the website is legit but I don’t know. Like you said the only thing that would not sound believable is that everything is 1980s style of normal.
We all knew something like this was going to happen we just didn’t think it would happen so fast. Everyone needs to stay safe because if even one quarter of the stories about what is happening are true things have gone kinetic in a real big war.
very cool Vlad. always surfing the razors edge .. thank you.
incredible drama, i would say.
the guardian -Ecuador says it cut WikiLeaks founder’s internet over US election interference
Officials released a statement confirming that the government cut off internet access for Julian Assange following a raft of leaked emails targeting Democrats
Ecuador has confirmed that it cut off internet access to Julian Assange, the founder of the whistleblowing site WikiLeaks, stating it believed he was using it to interfere in the US presidential election.
The move followed a raft of leaked emails published by WikiLeaks, including some from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) released just before the party’s convention in July, and more recently a cache of emails from the account of Hillary Clinton campaign adviser John Podesta.
On Tuesday, officials released a statement saying that the government of Ecuador “respects the principle of non-intervention in the internal affairs of other states” and had cut off the internet access available to Assange because “in recent weeks, WikiLeaks has published a wealth of documents, impacting on the US election campaign”.
The statement also reaffirmed the asylum granted to Assange and reiterated its intention “to safeguard his life and physical integrity until he reaches a safe place”.
Assange’s internet access was cut off on Monday morning. It was not immediately clear who was responsible, though a tweet from the site’s official account claimed it had been “intentionally severed” by a “state party”.
It is not known who perpetrated the hacks that brought the emails to WikiLeaks. Assange’s organization styles itself a whistleblowing outfit and claims not to do or encourage any hacking itself.
Yet cybersecurity experts have linked the hack of the DNC emails to hackers tied to the Russian government, leading many – including Clinton’s campaign manager Robby Mook – to allege that Russia is using both hackers and Assange as tools to help rig the presidential election in favor of Donald Trump.
WikiLeaks was responsible for the release, in collaboration with several news organizations including the Guardian, of an explosive set of documents leaked by US army private Chelsea Manning, including a video titled Collateral Murder that showed a US air crew killing Iraqi civilians.
Assange is wanted for questioning in Sweden for two alleged sexual assaults in 2010 and is under investigation in the US under the Espionage Act. Manning, who leaked the information, is currently in military prison.
Assange has been encamped in the Ecuadorian embassy in London since being granted asylum in 2012.

============================================
OFFICIAL COMMUNIQUÉ
Ecuador granted political asylum to Julian Assange in 2012 based on his legitimate fears of political persecution because of his journalistic activities as the editor of WikiLeaks.
In recent weeks, WikiLeaks has published a wealth of documents, impacting on the U.S. election campaign. This decision was taken exclusively by that organization.
The Government of Ecuador respects the principle of non-intervention in the internal affairs of other states. It does not interfere in external electoral processes, nor does it favor any particular candidate.
Accordingly, Ecuador has exercised its sovereign right to temporarily restrict access to some of its private communications network within its Embassy in the United Kingdom. This temporary restriction does not prevent the WikiLeaks organization from carrying out its journalistic activities.
Ecuador, in accordance with its tradition of defending human rights and protecting the victims of political persecution, reaffirms the asylum granted to Julian Assange and reiterates its intention to safeguard his life and physical integrity until he reaches a safe place.
Ecuador’s foreign policy responds to sovereign decisions alone and does not yield to pressure from other states.
