WIKILEAKS HAS BLAMED the Ecuadorean embassy for cutting off internet access to Julian Assange under the supposed orders of the United States government.
Assange, a staunch critic of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, has been accused of turning Wikileaks into a prop for Trump, and becoming the best friend of the Republican nominee, due to his increasingly high-profile attempts to influence the US presidential election.
He has been living in Ecuador’s embassy to the UK in London for the past four years, due to rape charges in Sweden.
Assange has said that Trump’s openness is part of his “charismatic appeal”, and has defended his reluctance to leak hacked material from Donald Trump, which has prompted criticism from supporters like Peter Tatchell.
In July, Wikileaks released 20,000 private emails from the Democratic National Committee, forcing the resignation of DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Clinton supporter.
Yesterday, Wikileaks accused unknown state actors for disrupting Assange’s web lifeline in the Ecuadorean embassy. It appears to have concluded that those responsible are in the embassy itself, right under Assange’s nose.

Today, Wikileaks has also said that John Kerry, Clinton’s successor as United States Secretary of State, asked Ecuador to stop Assange publishing documents hacked from Clinton’s emails on 26 September.
A cyber-espionage specialist, Assange has been claiming asylum at London’s Ecuadorean embassy since 2012 in order to avoid extradition over sex assault allegations.
The anti-secrecy organisation said in a tweet: “We have activated the appropriate contingency plans.”
Assange has been hiding in the Ecuadorean Embassy in central London for more than four years in a bid to avoid returning to Sweden to face rape charges.
Russian hackers
Ecuador has reportedly refused to respond to what it termed “speculation” on Twitter, vowing to continue to protect their long-term guest with political asylum.
The Wikileaks claim follows the latest emails it disclosed after it hacked of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s emails.
It released three transcripts on Saturday of Clinton’s paid speeches to Goldman Sachs.
The organisation’s consistent search for material that may prove damaging to Clinton’s bid to be president has seen it win many Trump supporters. Fox News is often the first to broadcast Wikileaks allegations. The latter reciprocates by retweeting their reports.
Donald Trump had previously called on Russia to hack into Hillary Clinton’s emails.
Assange denies Sweden’s rape allegation and says he fears that if he were sent to Sweden to face trial, he could be extradited to the United States to be tried over WikiLeaks’ publication of thousands of classified documents.

From a suspected overdose of fake news
His doctor asked him “What Ailes ya?”
For all his flaws, his loved ones are in pain now. RIP.
This degenerate inflicted untold pain on thousands of people during his lifetime.
@Diarmuid: How so?
20 years of lying to and manipulating the American people… resulting in a stream of toxicity and hatred being directed at minorities… all the further the Murdoch agenda.
@Diarmuid: Not all americans, Only the stupid ones.
convenient timing as Fox are under investigation by the sec because of illegal reporting of payments to women he harassed.. despicable man
@Shane Hickey: 2nd post – link(s)?
@Shane Hickey: You appear to be saying that the timing of his death was intentional. Would you mind elaborating? Thanks.
@Neal Ireland Hello.: Appearances are sometimes deceptive,just like Soles appeared like a nice guy to some people.
Fox News – for all it’s faults – is an awful lot better than RTE¡
@Fank Pulman: obviously you haven’t watched Fox News much if you are making a comment like that. Most biased network in USA.
@Cormac: Rubbish…lived in LA and Florida – many worse there m8…
@Cormac: CNN, MSNBC are as biased to the left as Fox are to the right.
@Darren: whilst the bias is real on both sides, Fox News is incredibly biased to the point if you watch it’s actually hilarious. I have tears in my eyes at how pathetic it is.
CNN whilst certainly left biased is nowhere near the level Fox is at. Not only is it bias but it’s literally absurd
At least he lived long enough for some karma to kick him in the ass.
Why, what did he do? Or do you even know
@Flip off: I’m not here to educate you. How about you “flip off” and do it yourself.
@Tricia Golden: You don’t know anything about him, do you?
@Fank Pulman: he was a disgusting pervert who destroyed careers of women who wouldn’t comply with his harassment.
What was he convicted of, exactly?
@Neal Ireland Hello.: what was Hitler convicted of?
@Shane Hickey:
Thought you were talking about Bill Clinton for a second.
Ha ha. You’ve no idea what he did. You just see old, rich, white and fox. Yep, he should have been executed years ago
Fake news
Was he a jew?
@Gerard Hutch: when’s the next kinahan hit ger?
Seriously? He still had a wife after all he did?
He was a disgusting pig.
Fox News is great. Fair and Balanced. RIP To Ailes’ family. He was not convicted of anything. It seems to me he was sued for flirting, which according to the Left now constitutes “sexual harrassment”.
RIP Roger
