Daily Mail: Assange WILL release his "October Surprise" tomorrow...

[brooklynite]

..."safely by video link".

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange cancelled a planned appearance to mark the 10th anniversary of his organization from the balcony of the Ecuadorian embassy in London over security fears on Monday.

He had been planning to give a speech - amid claims he was about to release damaging information about Clinton which some claimed could be an 'October Surprise' which would swing the presidential election.

However, Assange, who is wanted by Swedish authorities for questioning in connection with an alleged rape, will make an announcement via video link to an event in Berlin on Tuesday morning.

In a tweet on Monday afternoon, WikiLeaks said Assange's speech in London was moved to Berlin due to 'specific information' but did not elaborate further.

I've got to wonder why the Ecuadorians don't just push him over the balcony the next time he does one of these events...

1. Oh boy -- I feel like I'm on a roller coaster

Hopefully the NY Times will have more damning information on Trump's taxes and will have that splattered all over the news.

[MirrorAshes]

2. It has Roger Stone and Alex Jones very excited.

Which tells me nobody else but the conspiracy nutjobs are gonna care.

[HipChick]

7. Someone needs to be checking as to why Roger Stone

has advanced knowledge of a hacking group with direct ties to Russia

[Lucinda]

34. +1

[BlueCaliDem]

76. +2

[Tommy_Carcetti]

3. Who the fuck does he think he is? The Pope?

[brooklynite]

4. I was thinking Mussolini...

[Scurrilous]

27. I was thinking Eva...

[jberryhill]

33. I was thinking Rapunzel

[LuvLoogie]

79. Or Brian?

?w=590&h=401

[Orrex]

5. Whatever it is, the GOP & the media will run with it

And the endless campaign-ending stuff about Trump? Eh, never mind.

[Loki Liesmith]

6. No. It's a 10 year anniversary conference for wikileaks

Wikileaks domain name was registered 10 years ago tomorrow

[remaineruk]

8. There is a question about credibility. He has none

Holding back negative info re russia

http://gizmodo.com/wikileaks-may-have-withheld-key-russian-documents-from-1786445992

[LiberalFighter]

9. Is Assange announcing his death?

[tammywammy]

10. Is he turning himself in to Sweden?

[jalan48]

11. I really can't imagine there is much left to surprise us with. nt

[RAFisher]

12. Well the Daily Mail said it so it much be true...

[Joe941]

13. He's got nothing...

he is just trying to build up publicity to a non event. He is rotting away in the embassy and doesn't have anything better to do. He's got NOTHING!

[budkin]

66. Looking forward to Assange farting out nothing for the Deplorables

And watching them lose what is left of their minds.

[SaschaHM]

14. If he had anything, he would have released it before the convention or right before election day.

[Mamajami]

15. Anybody know what they are saying inside the HRC campaign? They should treat whatever it is

just like Trump does revelations about him...ignore it and make ship up.

[Joe941]

17. It will be all forgotten...

a day after the announcement is made. It truly will be a non event.

[Bleacher Creature]

16. I knew she made a mistake by cutting off all those mattress tags!!!

How did Assange find out?

[anamandujano]

28. ROFL!

and then some

[Mme. Defarge]

52. Bwaaaaahhhhh!!!

[vadermike]

18. i know

we like to laugh.. but i hope to hell he doesnt have anything really damaging.. that interview with Megyn Kelly in Aug sounded like he really didnt ..but still scary nontheless! i hope its not anything major

[LenaBaby61]

70. I surely wouldn't put it past ...

That Pro-Putin, pro-tRump loving rapist and his crazy lap-dog Stone if they did a huge document dump of FALSE information on Hillary because of their jealousy and hatred of her. Like they wouldn't get together with other Russian hackers to make up FAKE allegations via a document drop against Hillary? A friend told me that via an Ecuadorian News paper he reads that someone over in Ecuador's government said that they won't be guaranteeing Asange's safeness if he did do an anti-Hillary document drop.

[Doctor Jack]

19. The prediction markets dont seem to care

Clinton is still going up. The gamblers are too impressed by what Stone and Wikileaks are claiming.

[Gabi Hayes]

45. this campaign is insane. poll volatility has been whipsawing.....no way of telling

what'll happen

maybe he has Vince foster emails from the grave, confirming she pulled the trigger

[kurt_cagle]

50. Not really

Poll volatility has actually been pretty stable. Most people have made up their minds at this point, and most "new" information will only serve as confirmation bias.

[Cracklin Charlie]

20. Looks like he could jump down, and run away.

Ecuador must be nice this time of year.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. Coincidence??? Trump drops the tax bombshell (know it had to be him that

dumped it out) since he isn't having a conniption fit over a leaker in his building.

Then, Assange steps in with his schmear - was supposed to do it today right.

I hope one day they find the link between the hacking and Trump. You know he accuses everyone else of what he himself is guilty of. and, today he was talking hacking prevention up a storm.

[leftynyc]

73. I don't think so

First, anyone, anywhere could have written "trump tower" in the return address. It could have come from anywhere. Two, I think it was Marla Maples who released it. She's one of the few that would have had access to those documents since she had to sign them also.

[Doctor Jack]

22. People on the wikileaks subreddit think its nothing

They are saying indications from wikileaks is that its unrelated to clinton and all of the news that its about clinton is from rightwing speculation

[oberliner]

23. Why is Assange pro-Trump?

I don't get it.

[randome]

24. Crooks play up to crooks in hopes of getting something in return.

In Assange's case, if Trump is President, Assange thinks he can get all his charges dropped. Which would actually take quite a bit of doing since both the U.K. and Sweden want him to pay for his transgressions.

[louis c]

25. Putin connection

[Egnever]

29. He is pro republican

Has been from the beginning.

His agenda has been pretty obvious from the get go IMHO

[TexasBushwhacker]

30. I think he, justifiably, fears Clinton

will prosecute him for publishing stolen documents.

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

32. He very selfish if he is willing to screw over 300 million people for his own personal gain. n/t

[TexasBushwhacker]

35. Yes he is

But he was selfish to let Chelsea Manning twist in the wind too.

[still_one]

55. He is a fucking nut case.

[msanthrope]

46. You are surprised that a rapist likes a mysogynist? nt

49. Common patron in Putin nt

[radius777]

59. possibly alt-right and/or Russian sympathies. /nt

[4139]

26. Trump is waiting for The Great Pumpkin to save him

[NHDEMFORLIFE]

31. Big basket of nothing

The media rats will sniff around and make lots of noise for about a day. Then Trump will say something incredibly stupid, as he seems to do every day, and the media rats will sniff out more fresh cheese.

[still_one]

56. His news is he is going to say Hillary was trying to assasinate him. He is a nut case

[Cycle2016]

36. I heard on one of the shows earlier that

it's suppose to happen at 3am. Alarm set. Hope it doesn't happen.

[Maru Kitteh]

41. You have your alarm set? Really?

Sleep is precious.

[brooklynite]

42. No need; Trump will be up to report it...

[msanthrope]

47. I've speculated that the announcement was set to coincide with Trump's toileting/tweeting

schedule. I don't think I'm far off.

[Kathy M]

60. Then add Roger Stone

They are working together ......

Did not think of timing and Don 's tweeting schedule .........

[Maru Kitteh]

75. So how did that waking up at 3am to have a loser rapist tell us all

"I am very awesome, and thank you all for attending my party. Do tune in again, I like the attention" thing work out?

[Cycle2016]

77. Actually I was up watching the MSNBC reruns

Went to infowars for 1st time but it was crazy. Listened to about a minute or 2 and went to sleep. Heard later nothing happened.

[democrattotheend]

37. Should we be nervous?

Or is this a bunch of nonsense?

[MirrorAshes]

38. Imagine the magnitude a scandal would have to be...

...to actually change the direction of the race right now. It would have to be enough to erase all of the damage Trump has done to himself recently, all of the damage that is still to come with his taxes, AND the aftermath of the next 3 debates (one of which IS TOMORROW and will likely dominate all of the coverage unless this story is an absolute killer.)

So it's not to be dismissed since we just don't know what, if anything, it could be... But don't get too nervous. It's hard to imagine anything dramatic enough to actually sink her campaign.

[helpisontheway]

40. Halperin said he needs a big Clinton scandal,two debate wins

and he needs to perform better every single day.

[Demsrule86]

71. Well as it turned out yes it was a bunch of nonsense.

Assange wearing his truth tshirt...rambled on about nothing...except maybe ....give money. I am great.

[helpisontheway]

39. I hope the Clinton campaign has something to counter the release

with. If they release something really bad about Trump then it might cancel out and not hurt her. I hope it is not anything health related.

[Doctor Jack]

43. I think they already said...

...the message will be about the "past, present, and future of wikileaks". The only one saying its about clinton is roger stone, a guy that is more batshit than anyone working for trump.

[electron_blue]

44. Oddly timed to be released in sync with the Nobel prize in physics...

things that make you go hmmmm

[still_one]

53. hmmmmm, even stranger is that it is in sync with the release of Google's Pixel

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

48. Giving a speech

Just like a banana republic dictator would.

[still_one]

51. The asshole is going to say Hillary was plotting to assasinate him. It has already been debunked by

snopes

http://www.snopes.com/julian-assange-drone-strike/

I hope the fuck*er rots in the Ecuadorian embassy

It is way past due that this guy is relegated into irrelevancy. He is really nuts

[radius777]

61. Assange (and Snowden, imo) are enemy combatants and cyber terrorists,

who should be dealt with as such, and are only coddled as a result of being viewed as geek chic white guys instead of the stereotype of the black/brown "terrorist" who would've been taken out already.

[Mamajami]

62. How do you know that? just curious. Did you hack Wikileaks?

[still_one]

64. I am speculating because this is on the front page of snopes

http://www.snopes.com/

[postatomic]

54. Oh goodie

This guy is a real piece of work. I'm guessing he'll say that Hillary and dump are siblings.

[Doreen]

57. He better hurry

Trump keeps doing stupid things to bring his polls down that if Assange does not release something soon Trump will have destroyed everything so much that it would not matter what Hillary may have done. Assange is running against Trumps stupidity.

[-Steph-]

58. If he thinks Hillary allegedly saying "Can't we just drone Assange" in jest, is going to..

be the end of her campaign then he needs to deflate his ego because it's not going to have any kind of impact on her campaign whatsoever.

[Jamaal510]

63. Why won't he just release it already?

What's with all the hype-building he's trying to do?

[oldtime dfl_er]

65. Why doesn't this coward

go back and face his charges? Sweden, right? It is a very fair and just country.

[MFM008]

67. Rapists think alike

.......

[Retired George]

72. Park a hovering Predator Drone outside his window

Just to say "hi."

[HipChick]

80. +1

[Blue_Tires]

74. kick

[NCTraveler]

78. What a pompous ass.

Little rapist piece of shit.

That picture is perfect for him. Just oozing with entitlement.
