Report: WikiLeaks cancels highly anticipated Tuesday announcement due to 'security concerns'

Wikileaks has abruptly canceled a much-anticipated announcement on Tuesday, according to NBC News. The announcement had been expected to be founder Julian Assange’s long-promised document dump on Hillary Clinton.

Here's an ad from Wikileaks:

Report: Wikileaks cancels Tuesday’s big balcony announcement amid ‘security concerns’

What does Wikileaks founder Julian Assange have on Hillary Clinton that has him scared enough to cancel his Tuesday press conference at which he was reportedly scheduled to make a big announcement?

The balcony announcement was anticipated to be Wikileaks long-awaited document release on the Democrat presidential candidate but it was abruptly cancelled on Sunday not long after it was announced, according to MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” senior producer Jesse Rodriguez.

Wikileaks has not independently announced a press conference or a cancellation via its social media.

So, that's interesting...

'What we are left with is an agency mandated to ensure transparency and disclosure that is actually working to keep the public in the dark' - Ann M. Ravel, former FEC member

is so blatant that officials in our government cannot overlook it. As much as I detest the Clintons, the bigger picture is the corruption in our government. I suspect it will implicate the President too. So what is the recourse if every offical in government, ie, the President, Lynch, Comey, etc is a part of it? We desperately need to clean house and rid the US of this corruption that is destroying our country and the world.

that's always what I keep coming back to, when I think in such terms--to me, that's what 9/11 was turned into, in the name of "Security"---a silent, military coup, where the Pentagon now calls all the shots. Hell, undoing PATRIOT alone would fix a lot...

The ones who love torture and killing heads of state and oblitersting whole countries? Or do we have well trained forces we don't know about. Because I don't trust anyone that's part of this system, least of all the military.

If the corruption is wide spread then it isn't a secret from anyone in our government. They all know about it yet have done nothing about it.
I have no idea how we get our government to start representing us, but I don't think that it ever has. Going back before the robber baron days.

That's the reason why they haven't gone after the Clinton foundation because the corruption is enough to bring down the entire government of this country and others.
I'm sure that the republicans know all about this and how many of them are involved?
As judicial watch pointed out, congress has the power to charge or start impeachment proceedings against Hillary, yet they give it back to Comey, the DOJ and Lynch who had already given her a pass?
Kabuki B.S.!

Assange better stay off that balcony and do an inside interview and release the information from there.
If what is in the above tweet is true, then why even bother to vote?

Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.

I watched RW (right-wing) videos in which it was made clear that a FORMER public official (Clinton) can only be impeached during their tenure for crimes, not afterward. I wonder if this is true? If it is, I'm sure the fog of concussion lifted momentarily in Clinton's befuddled brain for her to be cognizant of this escape route.

Under Intense Pressure to Silence Wikileaks, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Proposed Drone Strike on Julian Assange
Posted on October 2, 2016 by admin

...Clinton’s State Department was getting pressure from President Obama and his White House inner circle, as well as heads of state internationally, to try and cutoff Assange’s delivery of the cables and if that effort failed, then to forge a strategy to minimize the administration’s public embarrassment over the contents of the cables. Hence, Clinton’s early morning November meeting of State’s top brass who floated various proposals to stop, slow or spin the Wikileaks contamination. That is when a frustrated Clinton, sources said, at some point blurted out a controversial query.

“Can’t we just drone this guy?” Clinton openly inquired, offering a simple remedy to silence Assange and smother Wikileaks via a planned military drone strike, according to State Department sources. The statement drew laughter from the room which quickly died off when the Secretary kept talking in a terse manner, sources said. Clinton said Assange, after all, was a relatively soft target, “walking around” freely and thumbing his nose without any fear of reprisals from the United States. Clinton was upset about Assange’s previous 2010 records releases, divulging secret U.S. documents about the war in Afghanistan in July and the war in Iraq just a month earlier in October, sources said. At that time in 2010, Assange was relatively free and not living cloistered in in the embassy of Ecuador in London. Prior to 2010, Assange focused Wikileaks’ efforts on countries outside the United States but now under Clinton and Obama, Assange was hammering America with an unparalleled third sweeping Wikileaks document dump in five months. Clinton was fuming, sources said, as each State Department cable dispatched during the Obama administration was signed by her. ...

The list of examples given (at source) which follows is of great interest, although I'd say that attempting to rehome the poor guys in Gitmo was humanitarian and laudable. Not to mention, the least that could be done.

...Following Clinton’s alleged drone proposal, another controversial remedy was floated in the State Department to place a reward or bounty for Assange’s capture and extradition to the United States, sources said. Numbers were discussed in the realm of a $10 million bounty. A State Department source described that staff meeting as bizarre. One minute staffers were inquiring about the Secretary’s blue and black checkered knit sweater and the next minute, the room was discussing the legalities of a drone strike on Assange and financial bounties, sources said.

Immediately following the conclusion of the wild brainstorming session, one of Clinton’s top aides, State Department Director of Policy Planning Ann-Marie Slaughter, penned an email to Clinton, Chief of Staff Cheryl Mills, and aides Huma Abebin and Jacob Sullivan at 10:29 a.m. entitled “an SP memo on possible legal and nonlegal strategies re Wikileaks.”

“Nonlegal strategies.” How did that phrasing make it into an official State Department email subject line dealing with solving Wikileaks and Assange? Why would the secretary of state and her inner circle be discussing any “nonlegal strategies” for anything whatsoever? Against anyone? Shouldn’t all the strategies discussed by the country’s top diplomat be strictly legal only? And is the email a smoking gun to confirm Clinton was actually serious about pursuing an obvious “nonlegal strategy” proposal to allegedly assassinate Assange? Numerous attempts were made to try and interview and decipher Slaughter’s choice of email wording, however, she could not be reached for comment. Insiders said Slaughter is keeping a “low profile” in Princeton, NJ until she is nominated for a position in Clinton’s cabinet if the Democrat is elected in November. Likewise, True Pundit attempted to contact Mills, Abedin, and Sullivan for their perspectives on this story. None commented on the record.

(Please, if possible, see email communication copied at source)

Regarding the following, it seems that all Hillary knew were that her activities needed to be covered up because of generic rules/laws which shouldn't apply to Her, so it's possible that such rules/laws/agreements/ were ignored so thoroughly that she actually doesn't recall what they were, never having bothered to learn more than that such impediments existed for other people.

...Slaughter’s cryptic email also contained an attached document called “SP Wikileaks doc final11.23.10.docx.” That attachment portion of Slaughter’s “nonlegal strategies” email has yet to be recovered by federal investigators and House committee investigators probing Clinton’s email practices while at State. Even Wikileaks does not have the document. Slaughter, however, shed some light on the attachment: “The result is the attached memo, which has one interesting legal approach and I think some very good suggestions about how to handle our public diplomacy.”

But did it also include details on the “nonlegal strategies” teased in the subject line?

Sources confirm Clinton took the email and attachment with her to the White House for an afternoon meeting with Secretary of Defense Bob Gates and National Security Advisor Tom Donilon prior to an additional evening meeting at the White House. President Obama, sources said, did not attend the early meeting with Gates as he was traveling with Vice President Joe Biden. President Obama did attend the second meeting, however, and Wikileaks and Assange’s planned release of secret cables were discussed at length, sources said. Attending this meeting were President Obama, Clinton, Gates, Donilon, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy Michele Flournoy, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral “Mike” Mullen, Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. James Cartwright as well as a half dozen or more various policy aides, sources confirmed.

Did Clinton also share her alleged morning query of droning Assange with the members of the National Security Council and the President? Was it discussed among the top secret subjects in the meeting? Or was Clinton planning to conduct or hatch her own secret foreign policy in defiance of the President, a likely violation of the Logan Act?

Personally, I immediately wondered if that first meeting which the President was unable to attend was perhaps timed for this purpose. It's known that Obama has tried to tone down some of the worst of Hillary's excesses as Secretary of State.

Now, almost six years after allegedly threatening to assassinate Julian Assange, some former State Department personnel believe perhaps Clinton’s comments were an attempt at brevity or humor by the former secretary of state, sources said. But since when is Clinton known for her beaming sense of humor and wit? Joking or not, is it appropriate for the top diplomat of the United States to even jest about droning the Wikileaks founder, largely considered an international journalist and whistle blower? State Department personnel would not talk on the record about the Assange meetings or Clinton’s comments. But sources familiar with the meeting said their recollections were jarred again by a recently released report from the FBI’s July interview with Clinton where she acknowledged a penchant for discussing drone strikes to eliminate troublesome foes.

Was/were Hillary Clinton/her paymasters responsible for some/much of the drone program killing so many innocents, with Obama talking responsibility for such appalling and destructive war-crimes, much as a foreign leader was willing to do, according to an item on an above-referenced list of Wiki-leak subjects, available at source?

The FBI’s 302 report from Clinton’s email investigation interview, again, specified that Clinton had “many discussions” related to “nominating” drone strikes on individuals:

“Clinton could not recall a specific process for nominating a target for a drone strike and recalled much debate pertaining to the concurrence process. Clinton knew there was a role for DOD, State and the CIA but could not provide specifics as to what it was. Due to a disagreement between these agencies, Clinton recalled having many discussions related to nominating an individual for a drone strike. When Clinton exchanged classified information pertaining to the drone program internally at State, it was in her office or on a secure call. When Clinton exchanged classified information pertaining to the drone program externally it was at the White House. Clinton never had a concern with how classified information pertaining to the drone program was handled.”

Sources said Clinton’s comments on neutralizing Assange fits a pattern of callousness when combined with the FBI testimony that she often considered droning individuals and then coupled with her reaction to Libyan leader Moammar Gaddafi’s death in Oct. 2011.

Gaddafi was tortured and killed, largely due to Clinton’s maneuvering in the Middle East and Libya. During a sit down interview with CBS News, a Clinton aide notified the room during a taping break of news reports that Gaddafi had been dragged throughout the streets of Libya and ultimately killed. Unaware the camera was still rolling, a jovial and proud Clinton pronounced: “We came. We saw. He died.” This was Clinton’s initial response to the dictator’s demise. A cackling Clinton was then joined in laughter by the CBS correspondent and off-camera aides and staff. Again, more proof of a disturbing habit of treating human life as a disposable commodity like a soiled diaper. ...

This psychopathic individual has no place in public policy, or in any position where she has the ability to harm others.

Please, ensure that this tendency is made known before the Clintons are in any position to casually remove any large sections of the American population which they may find objectionable.

Psychopathy is not a political position, whether labeled 'conservatism', 'centrism' or 'left'.

A tin labeled 'coffee' may be a can of worms or pathology identified by a lack of empathy/willingness to harm others to achieve personal desires.

Is Assange doing a release or not? Or, did he change the venue but will still follow through? I'm confused.

Wikileaks has not clarified. Nor have they identified the threat which set about cancelling the venue (and maybe the release). Stay tuned, I guess...

I remain amazed and deeply grateful that Assange and Snowden still breathe air...

Modern education is little more than toeing the line for the capitalist pigs.

Guerrilla Liberalism won't liberate the US or the world from the iron fist of capital.

in order to propel Hillary that he underestimated Trump's chances of actually winning the whole thing. Trump has been a perfect foil to cast Hillary as the more reasonable candidate, but reason is not the moving force in this election season, emotions are; anger, fear, disappointment, frustration. These are very difficult to control, and potentially very dangerous to The established order of TPTB.

The extent to which the voting population has raised it's middle finger to establishment politics, both Republican and Democrat alike, may have been a big surprise to Big Dog, as in "Oh, shit!"
