Is Wikileaks sending out a cyber dead man's switch?

1. What does that mean?

[duncang]

12. It looks like instructions and pgp verification keys for those associated with wikileak to post info

On John Kerry, The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and Ecuador. This apparently was sent out by someone who knows Assange since they haven't been able to contact him. See post 11 from MowCowWhoHow III. Looks like assange not being able to contact anyone may be part of the retaliation by us for their hacks of us.

2. Yes can anyone explain this?

[shenmue]

4. Yeah me too I dunno

5. I think the long sequences are hexadecimal keys to unlock encrypted documents

Or alternatively can be used to prove a document hasn't been tampered with since it left it's sender.

It's all a bit mysterious atm...

6. Assange has long been rumored to have secret files for insurance in case something happens to him

These are basically keys to unlock those files

7. "Assange has long spread rumors..." is possibly how you should have worded that.

9. he also has a tendency to yank peoples' chains around this shit

witness his "October Surprise".

I think if the dude had 1/100th of the stuff he pretends to, we'd know by now.

13. Right... Snowden has claimed the same

they both have a Jesus complex, and they both want so badly to pretend they're more important than they are...

15. That is probably an encryption key for some file that's out there

Swedish court upholds Assange warrant, clears way for questioning in October

A Swedish appeals court decided to uphold the arrest warrant for Wikileaks founder Julian Assange on Friday, prolonging the six year long legal stand off with prosecutors and clearing the way for the Wikileaks founder to be questioned in London next month.

...


The court said the lengthy deadlock and the previous passivity of Swedish prosecutors in pursuing the investigation were arguments for setting aside the warrant, but there remained a strong public interest argument for it remaining in place.

"At present, continued detention therefore appears to be both effective and necessary so as to be able to move the investigation forward," the court said.

Ecuador has set an Oct. 17 date for questioning Assange at its London embassy.

Oct 17th questioning date has to be connected.

10. Gizmodo says they're basically checksums.

http://gizmodo.com/these-cryptic-wikileaks-tweets-dont-mean-julian-assange-1787866602

Much as these tweets provide great fodder for conspiracy speculation, the secret to their meaning is hidden in plain sight. “Pre-commitment” in this case is a references to a cryptographic scheme to prevent unreleased information from being tampered with. Essentially those unique codes are proof to anyone reading the documents in the future that their contents remain unchanged: alteration to the leaks will likewise alter those 64-character codes...

11. contingency plans

Julian Assange's internet link has been intentionally severed by a state party. We have activated the appropriate contingency plans.

14. Translation: We've tweeted out a meaningless message

and that will be the end of it

16. I for one am getting tired of Mr Assanges ass, I hope someone puts a lid on his mischief......

Until after the election.
