That has to be a little bit of an asshole puckering experience:

WikiLeaks said Monday that its founder Julian Assange’s Internet link was severed by a “state party” and that “appropriate contingency plans” had been activated. Julian Assange’s internet link has been intentionally severed by a state party. We have activated the appropriate contingency plans.

— WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) October 17, 2016 The website’s announcement came hours after it published three cryptic tweets. The messages referenced Ecuador, Secretary of State John Kerry and the United Kingdom’s Foreign Commonwealth Office. Each tweet was matched with a string of numbers… WikiLeaks hasn’t tweeted anything else about Assange’s Internet access or how it may have been “severed.” Various U.S. officials and pundits have made threatening statements directed at Assange in the past. WikiLeaks tweeted in early October an alleged 2010 quote from then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton asking if Assange could be killed in a drone strike, and, that same year, former Democrat strategist Bob Beckel said on Fox News Channel that “a dead man can’t leak stuff.” This month, “specific information” prompted Assange to scrap a dramatic London balcony address to celebrate WikiLeaks’ 10th anniversary.

If this happens to you when you are under the gun, you never know what it portends, or what is about to happen. There is a massive machine out there whose whole purpose is to maintain the state exactly as it is, it has incredible abilities, and increasingly it knows no rules.

Donald might find it useful to point out to people that a vote for Donald would probably save Assange’s life, whereas a vote for Hillary will certainly kill him, because if Crooked Hillary gets in, she will make punching his ticket a prime directive. I would portray it in visual terms, to trigger amygdalae, similar to this:

Boy, the world we live in. The Establishment will do anything to maintain their control over you, and over the corrupt regime. Just today, I woke up to reports that the Establishment had killed Julian Assange – broken right into the Ecuadorian Embassy and killed him dead for trying to release the truth about the corrupt establishment, and how they screwed over Bernie. They said Assange’s dead man’s keys were released on twitter, he was gone, and that was it, no more Julian Assange, no more Wikileaks. I honestly thought it was possible. You never know today. There are no rules, and laws mean nothing. Thankfully that report was mistaken. But let me tell you, if Crooked Hillary gets elected, she will kill Assange dead, you know that. I’d obey the laws, and let him live, but not her. Already they have her, as Secretary of State, actually saying we should kill him with a drone. She is dying to do it. If she ever got elected, if people vote for her, that will be it for Julian, whatever you think of him. No more Julian. No more Wikileaks. Julian dead, the Establishment wins. I wonder how the people voting for Hillary feel about that? Their vote for Hillary putting Julian in a coffin in the ground? Literally, they’d be throwing the switch on his execution. I don’t think they’d want to do that, but it would be their decision, to kill him or not. It will be interesting to see who they are, and what they decide.

I have to say, I am not a big Assange fan, what with knowing he is a bit of a lefty. But hearing of his possible demise, the world did suddenly feel a little more gray, and little more boring. There is a very powerful amygdala pathway there, relating to death, and permanence, and misery, and pain. If it is in me, imagine how deeply it runs within millennials who supported Bernie, lean lefty, and hate the establishment.

That could be a very powerful leftist demotivator.
