Julian Assange and Hillary Clinton in a Dangerous Game over Documents She Does not Want to Become Public

In the war to save America, facts are the best ammunition. ~~~~~~ WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was forced to cancel his ‘October Surprise’ announcement set for Tuesday, due to alleged threats from the Hillary campaign. The eagerly awaited announcement promised to reveal a new document dump on Hillary Clinton that would potentially end her campaign. Heatst.com said : "NBC’s Jesse Rodriguez reported that the Tuesday announcement -- which was to come from the balcony of London’s Ecuadorian Embassy, where Assange has sought sanctuary for years -- was cancelled due to 'security concerns.' " In September, Assange appeared on Fox News, repeating his assertion that Wikileaks has damaging documents on Clinton and suggested that WikiLeaks may soon release “teasers.” More than three weeks later, that release has yet to take place. Clinton’s opponents have hoped for weeks that the promised document dump would be an “October surprise” -- damaging and revelatory emails or the like -- that would inflict a mortal wound on her campaign. It was only this summer that Assange’s WikiLeaks leaked thousands of embarrassing emails from the Democratic National Committee which showed disdain for Bernie Sanders’ insurgent campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination. The disclosure forced DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz to resign in disgrace on the eve of the Democratic National Convention. Roger Stone, a fervent Donald Trump supporter, predicted on Sunday morning that Wikileaks’ revelations would doom Clinton’s campaign. It’s unclear if Stone was aware that Wikileaks, according to NBC News, has cancelled their Tuesday announcement. Assange and his supporters have long claimed that his personal safety is at risk due to the danger he represents to Clinton’s presidential ambitions. In August, liberal commentator Bob Beckel suggested in a TV appearance that Assange be murdered, proclaiming that someone should “shoot the son of a bitch!” ~~~~~~ Why is the cancellation of Assange's document dump important? Assange himself hinted publicly in August that low-level DNC staffer Seth Rich, who was murdered in July in Washington DC, had been the source for Wikileaks’ document dump on the DNC, and that Rich’s alleged role in the leaks was linked to his death. There has been no evidence linking Rich to the leak and no evidence that his murder was anything more than a botched robbery. No arrests have been made in the case. However, Rich was shot multiple times in the back late at night near his Washington apartment, and his watch, wallet, and phone were still on his body when he was found dead. So, the cancellation of Tuesday’s Wikileaks announcement for reasons linked to 'security' has raised speculation about Assange's personal safety. The fact that Julian Assange, in a Fox News interview in August, suggested that Rich might have been involved in the massive leak of damaging DNC emails to the anti-secrecy WikiLeaks is said by some to be a possible motive in the July 10 killing. Assange told Fox : “We’re not saying that Seth Rich’s death necessarily is connected to our publications -- that’s something that needs to be established, (but) this organization will go after anyone who may have been involved in some kind of attempt to coerce or possibly, in this instance, kill a potential source.” Wikileaks then posted a $20,000 reward for infomation in the Rich case, spurring a flood of speculation that Rich was somehow entangled in the politically damaging DNC leaks, or might have been murdered to silence him. Assange said : “I don’t think the information so far is enough to start pointing a direct finger. We don’t want to compromise the police investigation.” ~~~~~~ Also in August, Newt Gingrich raised questions about the murder of Democratic staffer Seth Rich. In an appearance on The Mike Gallagher Show, Gingrich appeared to give some credence to the claims that there was some nefarious motive to the July 10 slaying as Rich walked home in Washington DC, asking : “If it wasn’t a mugging and it wasn’t for money, what was it for?” Well, for instance, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange offered the possibility that Seth Rich was Wikileaks’ source for the DNC emails, telling a Danish TV show about the risks that Wikileaks’ sources endure : “[Our sources] go through significant effort to get us material and often very significant risks. There’s a 27-year-old who works for the DNC, who was shot in the back - murdered - just a few weeks ago for unknown reasons.” The Danish interviewer asked : “What are you suggesting?” and Assange answered : “I’m suggesting our sources take risks. They become concerned seeing something like that.” Gingrich said the possibilities are "worth talking about. And if Assange says he is the source, Assange may know. That’s not complicated. Whether it has any meaning in the presidential campaign, I don’t know.” Rich is believed by some to have been murdered to prevent him from revealing negative information about on the Democratic National Committee, where he worked to expand voting rights, or the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign. Joel Rich, Seth's father, has revealed that his son landed his dream job just days before being killed -- a selection by the DNC to work with the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign. The senior Rich told Britain’s Daily Mail that his son’s bosses at the DNC selected him to work on the national campaign -- the kind of job his son had been hoping to land since his college days. ~~~~~~ So, when WikiLeaks cancels -- just hours beforehand -- a media-magnet announcement that Assange was to make from the balcony of London's Ecuadorian Embassy on Tuesday, and Donald Trump mega-supporter Roger Stone had already tweeted that Hillary Clinton would "be done" by the next day because of the planned announcement, we should pay attention. On Sunday, just after 10 am, NBC News correspondent Jesse Rodriguez reported that because of security concerns, the event was cancelled, and WikiLeaks hasn't said if it will be rescheduled. However, Rodriguez did not report on the nature of the security concerns, leaving the matter open to speculation. Meanwhile, Assange and many of his supporters have said his life is in danger. But, Fox News reported on Monday that while the Assange London Equadorian Embassy balcony address on Tuesday was cancelled, a video presentation in Berlin will go on at 3 a.m. during the night of Monday-Tuesday. WikiLeaks described the changes as necessary because of "specific information" regarding Assange's safety. Although there are no recent public revelations directly tied to fears for Assange's security, in the past various US officials and pundits have made threatening statements directed at him. WikiLeaks on Monday tweeted an alleged quote from a 2010 State Department meeting at which then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asked if Assange could be killed in a drone strike. That same year, former Democrat strategist Bob Beckel said on Fox News Channel that "a dead man can't leak stuff." ~~~~~~ And, of course, the Seth Rich murder and Julian Assange's public re-arrangement of his proposed document dump related to Hillary Clinton have reopened the many theories about the deaths of people close to Hillary and Bill Clinton. According to the white-masked "anon" site, the recent Clinton body count : "grows with 5 people found dead, all with solid links to Hillary Clinton’s campaign, the DNC, and the Clinton Foundation. Even more alarming is the media blackout on these mysterious deaths and the overwhelming evidence that those who died had insider knowledge that could have taken down Hillary and the whole Democrat Party. Over the last month, bodies close to the Clintons and DNC have been dropping like flies...adding to the speculations that Hillary won’t let anyone stand in her way, no matter what it takes." The mainstream media avoids these stories and refutes them if a guest tries to talk about them, but, here’s what "anon" says it knows about "those [other than Seth Rich] who met an untimely death after their ties to the Clintons and the DNC seemed to threaten Hillary’s presidential aspirations : "(1) Joe Montano, who was a former DNC Chairman, would have knowledge of the criminal activities used to get Hillary Clinton elected. Montano died from what was said to be a heart attack on July 25, the day the DNC started. At 47-years-old and in good health, a heart attack is suspicious. Montano was on low-dosage of high blood pressure medication, which means his hypertension was under control, which put him more at risk of low blood pressure. His family says he was packed and ready to go to the DNC convention when they found him dead. They report he was in tip top health. His death was within hours of the Wikileaks dump that outed then-DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Shultz. Montano was also an aide to VP nominee Tim Kaine, which makes one wonder what he knew. Insiders say Montano could have known too much about the DNC scandals and Tim Kaine. (2). In another Clinton-linked death, Shawn Lucas, the lead attorney who was working to expose the DNC fraud case in Florida was unexpectedly found dead in his home. A video gone viral shows Lucas serving the DNC court papers. Lucas’ death is still under investigation, but the mere fact that he was alive, serving court papers on the Clintons and the DNC, and the next minute dead under suspicious circumstances, is leaving everyone pointing straight at the Clinton crime family. (3). Another strange death is that of Victor Thorn, who was a prolific author and seasoned investigator of the Clintons. He was best known as a Clinton expert, writing over 6 books on all of their scandals. Co-workers report he was working diligently on a new Hillary scandal, and his brother reports he possessed damaging top secret emails involving the Clintons." ~~~~~~ ZeroHedge, in early August, reported : "Call it conspiracy theory, coincidence or just bad luck, but any time someone is in a position to bring down Hillary Clinton, they wind up dead. In fact, as we noted previously, there’s a long history of Clinton-related body counts, with scores of people dying under mysterious circumstances. While Vince Foster remains the most infamous, the body count is starting to build ominously this election cycle -- from the mysterious "crushing his own throat" death of a UN official to the latest death of an attorney who served the DNC with a fraud suit. As GatewayPundit's Jim Hoft reports, on July 3, 2016, Shawn Lucas and filmmaker Ricardo Villaba served the DNC Services Corp. and Chairperson Debbie Wasserman Schultz at DNC’s headquarters in Washington, DC, in the fraud class action suit against the Democrat Party on behalf of Bernie Sanders supporters (this was before Wikileaks released documents proving the DNC was working against the Sanders campaign during the 2016 primary). Shawn Lucas was thrilled about serving the papers to the DNC before Independence Day...Shawn Lucas was found dead....According to Snopes, Lucas was found dead on his bathroom floor. We contacted Lucas’ employer on 4 August 2016 to ask whether there was any truth to the rumor. According to an individual with whom we spoke at that company, Shawn Lucas died on 2 August 2016. The audibly and understandably shaken employee stated that interest in the circumstances of Lucas’ death had prompted a number of phone calls and other queries, but the company had not yet ascertained any details about Lucas’ cause of death and were unable to confirm anything more than the fact he had passed away. An unconfirmed report holds that Lucas was found lying on the bathroom floor by his girlfriend when she returned home on the evening of 2 August 2016. Paramedics responding to her 911 call found no signs of life....So, to summarize, courtesy of Janet Tavakoli, the Clinton related body count so far this election cycle is : Five in just under six weeks - four convenient deaths plus one suicide...(1) Shawn Lucas, Sanders supporter who served papers to DNC on the Fraud Case (August 2, 2016). ( 2) Victor Thorn, Clinton author (and Holocaust denier, probably the least credible on this list) shot himself in an apparent suicide... (3) Seth Conrad Rich, Democratic staffer, aged 27, apparently on his way to speak to the FBI about a case possibly involving the Clintons. The DC murder was not a robbery. (July 8, 2016). (4) John Ashe, UN official who allegedly crushed his own throat while lifting weights, because he watched too many James Bond films and wanted to try the move where the bad guy tries to....He was scheduled to testify against the Clintons and the Democrat Party. (June 22, 2016). (5) Mike Flynn, the Big Government Editor for Breitbart News. Mike Flynn’s final article was published the day he died, titled “Clinton Cash : Bill, Hillary Created Their Own Chinese Foundation in 2014.” (June 23, 2016)." ~~~~~~ Dear readers, at the end of its report, ZeroHedge asked : "It must be coincidence, right?" Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't. But, if Julian Assange is sufficiently afraid of Hillary Clinton to alter plans to release documents related to her campaign, we should pay attention, because Assange is used to dealing with and being threatened by most of the world's power elite. What will we hear from Berlin tonight???
