Please update events to include death of the warrant canary at Julian's email provider, riseup.net:
Aug 16th: Last update of warrant canary at https://riseup.net/en/canary, Julian's e-mail provider. (Canary is now dead.)
https://riseup.net/en/about-us/press/canary-statement
"After exhausting our legal options, Riseup recently chose to comply with two sealed warrants from the FBI, rather than facing contempt of court (which would have resulted in jail time for Riseup birds and/or termination of the Riseup organization). The first concerned the public contact address for an international DDoS extortion ring. The second concerned an account using ransomware to extort money from people."
"We have taken action to ensure that Riseup never again has access to a user’s stored email in plaintext. Starting today, all new Riseup email accounts will feature personally encrypted storage on our servers, only accessible by you. In the near future, we will begin to migrate all existing accounts to use this new system"
Looks like the dead canary didn't have anything to do with Wikileaks.
Byet had trouble with ddos on their free hosting in the past, it's probably a solution they deployed.
It's a default privacy statement also found on other websites. Example: https://taskmenizer.com/en/privacy/
Free hosters tend to redirect unused sites to parking because they get a little money for it.
https://riseup.net was apparently the email host for the account that administrated @WikiLeaks Twitter.
Every 3 months(ish), riseup posts a new announcement to the public that they haven't been asked by any feds to hand over private user data. They do this so that when they are compromised, and possibly under gag order not to tell, they can signal to the public that they are in trouble by simply not updating their canary.
Their canary is now 5(?) days overdue, and has been requested repeatedly on their twitter and contact pages. These concerns haven't even been addressed, which points to gag order. If that's the case, there's no way they can directly show the public they have been compromised. They just don't update their canary, as they can't be legally forced to.
Combine that with riseup's tweet here that references both birds and deception, and I think AT LEAST @WikiLeaks Twitter is in the hands of somebody else.

I will leave these links here explaining pgp and signing, because I believe there are people trying to disinform by interchanging the words private key, public key, pgp, and hash very often to muddle the issue. From the 2nd link:
"The basic manner in which digital signatures are created is illustrated in Figure 1-6. Instead of encrypting information using someone else's public key, you encrypt it with your private key. If the information can be decrypted with your public key, then it must have originated with you."
This should help clear up the issue, and this is what I think people are complaining about. I think it's important to think about the issue from two perspectives
If he is compromised:
If assange had taken precautions and encrypted his entire hard drive (which he probably would have), then any laptops seized during the alleged raid containing his private key would be inaccessible. Thus, alphabets roleplaying as assange would be unable to make a message, encrypt it using the private key, and allow people to use his public key to verify it.
If Assange is not compromised:
Assange may be frustrated and not want to play into the hands of disinfo agents pushing the 'assange is dead' meme to distract from digging through leaks or to call into doubt his authenticity or the authenticity of any files released by wikileaks. He may think that if the raid did happen, his private key would fall into their hands anyways, so it won't satisfy people who have doubts if he is alive. Further, he doesn't want to make an appearance on the balcony because of real threats to his life.
Stay skeptical, my friends
"adeadfed" and "babecafe" are both valid hexidecimal values. "cafebabe" is the hex identifier for a Java class file. "adeadfed" speaks for itself, but it might also have a meaning in hex.
To find "something" in a "cafebabe" is perhaps to find something suspicious or concerning inside some Java software. Java malware, hidden data, something else?
They are not 'due' on the first day of a new quarter though, they are due at some point throughout the quarter.
I will copy and paste their own words on this -
>Riseup intends to update this report approximately once per quarter.
Note the once per quarter, not once per the start of every quarter.
That can be found here https://riseup.net/en/canary
Wow. Now I think he's dead since end of 2016. There are no news on Wikileaks website since end of 2016. Speculations of his death started end of 2016. And this twitter account that apparently was never his started tweeting in Feb 2017 according to https://thenextweb.com/socialmedia/2017/02/14/julian-assange-sends-first-ever-tweet-5-year-old-twitter-account/ and this first tweet was "Rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated (in a curious plot)"
I didn't know about this tweet until a couple of days ago, and it seems like a lot of people here also missed it. To me, this is basically 100% confirmation that they have been served with a gag order, and that they didn't just forget to update their canary.
I don't know why you have to get nasty. We're adults here, calm down.
August 16, 2016 was 97 days ago
A quarter is 90 days long. (Are you going to demand a link for that too?)
So it's officially overdue.
So, let me expand on my concern, since you asked.
The software itself is not evil: https://matrix.org/docs/guides/faq.html#what-is-matrixs-mission
However, it can be configured in a multitude of ways, based on the host. So, for the same reason that Skype is dangerous, this is. Skype is dangerous because you can easily capture IP addresses of the person you can communicate. Based on the information of the software, it seems to be easy to set up a channel that would allow me to mine that information.
There's another possibility that there is a known exploit in that software, allowing more advanced attacks. If that sounds crazy, I suggest you read about this: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/oct/04/tor-attacks-nsa-users-online-anonymity
Anyway - just a word of warning. Feel free to go there if you wish!
Okay for some reason the sub CSS disables RES tagging but if you have RES and either:
A- disable the subreddit style via the checkbox in the Subreddit info bar
or
B- click on a user's profile
You'll see a little tag right next to their username. Click that and you'll be able to assign tags to username that will show up next to their names wherever you see their comment/post.
It's about the missing update of risup's canary. Riseup is the alleged mailprovider of WL's twitter account.
The thing is:
indeed, thats why I dont understand it. But if the "C" really stands for "Canary" (https://riseup.net/en/canary) then that is ment as another hint that WikiLeaks is in enemy hands, right?
it looks like the twitter accounts are under some order to prevent them from posting information (remember the "HELP HIM") which means WL staff still control the WL account and JA controls the cat account, but both cant speak freely. (in this theory)
I'm not used to using twitter, so when I go to their page and click on tweets & replies is that the entirety of tweets they reply to?
If so it doesn't look like they respond to many tweets usually (Although I do admit there are on occasion a day or two where they are more active)
They said they would release a Canary report once per quarter, not once per 90 days. They released one April 10th, that covered the 2nd quarter. Then August 16th which covers the 3rd quarter , they have until December 31st to post for the 4th Quarter. (next year 1st Jan is the start of the 1st quarter again)
>But they are saying they are not shutting down. They are saying this because of mass inquiries.
Agreed
The hummingbird post, while I can't prove anything, I believe is due to their online persona's being from the bird family - https://riseup.net/en/about-us#meet-the-collective
As you say, it's a tribute post.
Thank you so much for the reply though, I can see how anyone could see things that way but taking it all at face value , it appears as if there's nothing to worry about.. yet.
EDIT: Sincere thanks for not only expressing your opinion but providing information to go along with it, I enjoy taking a look at things that are more than suspicion.
> That's great. What would you do exactly?
Hunt down whoever organized and sent the invitation to me, give all a piece of my mind loudly, bitch to everyone around me, say to remove me from their lists, and over-do all of the above. Then I'd call later to remind them how annoyed I was. I know it sounds like overkill but I'd want them to remember it.
I am entirely willing to believe that was just a fundraiser BUT IT'S INAPPROPRIATE. It's like trying to desensitize people to this kind of disgusting behavior. So later when it's found out that people actually do this sort of thing, it's no big deal.
The New York Times actually published this:

Edited to remind: It's well known there IS NO cure.
Not sure if this is what OP means:

To me this suggests something (possibly named Proof of Existence?) was encrypted with SHA-256 through www.proofofexistence.com.
I dont know anything about these sort of things though so might be wrong.
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256
I don't see what is so hard about setting up a key, personally.
Install GnuPG (https://www.gnupg.org/) (even easier on Linux), run
gpg2 --full-gen-key
in a cmd window, follow the ~5 simple prompts, wait a few minutes, BAM! Key!
Exporting is as easy as
gpg --armor --output mypublickey.gpg --export [any key identifier]
then just copy the contents of mypublickey.gpg and you can post them anywhere and everywhere to make sure that everyone has them.
Just for the sake of example, I created a key for reddit following these steps. Here

>This is a timing that you're making up, which never existed.
Oh really?
https://riseup.net/en/canary
>Riseup intends to update this report approximately once per quarter.
I repeat for emphasis "Riseup intends to update this report approximately once per quarter."
That's their own choice of wording not mine. They didn't say once quarterly, once every 90 or so days, once whenever someone tweets to us. Once PER quarter. Then you look at their Canary posting history & indeed see they post one per every quarter.
So please I implore you, how is any of that being made up by me? This isn't about perceptions or insinuations, they literally through their own wording said how they will post their Canary reports. It can't get clearer than that.
The article (Which no member of Riseup has admitted to) holds no merit for either side of any argument as it is, anyone can claim they spoke to anyone representing Riseup or Wikileaks or JA. But as it can't be proven it should be taken with a huge pinch of salt.
All this information is out there, publicly available and always has been. There's absolutely no reason besides laziness or deliberately choosing not to, for not knowing the facts about this.
Sadly no, I wish ! It would've helped cement my thoughts on this.

> August 16, 2016 was 97 days ago
Irrefutable facts:
Hmm. Maybe Alexa could have an uptime counter for FlightRadar. Haven't used Alexa in a while, so I'm not sure what it can tell you.
It's possible the Reddit traffic crashed it.
Wordfence, who are cyber security experts for Wordpress, have conducted a very detailed analysis confirming the malware in the CIA report was Ukranian.
It's a very detailed article, but if anyone wants a quick summary, this is their conclusion:
"The malware sample is old, widely used and appears to be Ukrainian. It has no apparent relationship with Russian intelligence and it would be an indicator of compromise for any website."
So there you have it. IT experts confirm that Obama and the CIA are liars.
I totally agree with all these questions. But if this was the CIA (Or whoever) don't you think they would do a much better job running the website? The certificates maybe were up for renewal I also happened to try to log into the website and found it not working. That was in the middle of the day don't you think they would do it in the middle of the night so it would be less noticeable. Also I don't believe a website has to actually go down to renew or change certificates. The company who is doing the certificate does look legitimate https://letsencrypt.org/. I think the staff is being sloppy because Julian isn't around. He was wikileaks and while they have always had to prepare for him not being around this is the first time they have ever had to do so. Like I was saying every time I see a spelling error I smack my head. Hardly the work of CIA agents. Am I discounting the possibility of Wikileaks being compromised? no but it seems likely Wikileaks is a ship drifting in the ocean without her captain.
I had made this note to myself awhile ago, but I'm not fluent in encryption standards, so I had no idea what I was looking at. I was looking for any changes made in and around the time Assange went incommunicado. Thought it was worth a minor note because it represented an apparent change to encryption standards to an Assange-associated site on Oct 18th. Copied it from justice4assange.com. I still don't know if it's relevant. Pasting my notes below in case it means something to someone...

If the canary is dead the site is compromised. It is a pretty obvious security measure. The canary is dead. Don't trust it till it is live again. Directly from Canary page "If the statement is not updated in a timely fashion, users may infer that the canary statement may no longer be true." https://riseup.net/en/canary
You very rightfully should be skeptical of anyone making claims on the internet. Everyone should be tagged as questionable because not everyone is who they say they are.
We're getting off on the wrong foot. I apologize for the brevity of my last post. Here's the thing: the Wayback Machine is regarded in the US and UK court systems as admissible evidence because of its reliability. It's not 100% accurate, but it can reportedly guestimate the age of a page. To date, there has been no evidence that the WB machine has been tampered with (to the extent of my knowledge on the subject).
http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4467&context=flr
Bruce's page probably isn't as old as 2013 based on evidence gathered from the Wayback Machine. I believe the WMB uses a typical webcrawler algorithm -- meaning it's not bulletproof. Once the WBM crawler has indexed a page, it then regularly returns to see if changes were made. When the WB machine detects a change, it caches the new content. The problem is that it doesn't get every webpage and an unindexed page can go unnoticed. However, once someone starts spamming their webpage on forums, that ramps up the likelihood that a crawler will pick it up, since (according to what I've read) crawlers will visit LINKS and index them.
> And for the purposes of this conversation, archives are 100% accurate, and not accurate "within 6 months" or whatever bogus claim you're making.
If I wrote that, that's wrong (please find me a quote where I wrote that, because it doesn't show up in my comments history). An unindexed page can go unnoticed for years. It's just that when someone starts spamming the page on the internet, it will get picked up very quickly.
I have to remove this post because it's unrelated to finding Assange, but you might find this link helpful anyway.

Yes of course ; https://riseup.net/en/canary .
>Riseup intends to update this report approximately once per quarter.
That's in their own words on that link to their Canary report.
Then by looking at their history of when they've released the reports, they have indeed been one per Quarter (Yearly)
1st Q Jan-Mar 2nd Q Apr-June 3rd Q July - September 4th Q Oct-Dec.
The last two reports were on April 10th (2nd Q) , then August 16th (3rd Q). There is no exact pattern to as and when they post them during the quarters except for that they do at some point post them.
Please update:
Aug 16th: Last update of warrant canary at https://riseup.net/en/canary, Julian's e-mail provider. (Canary is now dead.)
October 30th: John interviews Julian in Embassy, video is released on youtube.
> Global intelligence agencies have a massive power and resource advantage over ordinary people who use reddit.
Certainly they do. I didn't mean to imply otherwise. But most people seem to have forgotten The Art of War in that when group A knows all about group B but group B knows nothing about group A, then group B is fucked.
Assange knows what we want for POL. It hasn't come. Only things that keep everyone busy guessing and debating and chatting and continuing to take no to little action to find him. Audio is easy.
>the alternative is that we don't talk about it, and then they know by default that we know nothing.
Huh? They wont know jack about what we know if it's discussed privately. What a silly and dangerous sub this is.
I'm not aware of the exact details of this case, but this book is recommended reading for anyone interested in this type of Geo-Politics.

Incoming OT tangent: There is a large body of medical research showing the positive effects of micro-nutrient and gut-flora supplementation. In fact, it's been going mainstream for a while now, and no longer something reserved for alternative-medicine junkies. Just talk to any nutritionist; hell, every single one of my friends who are into athletic training / lifting weights takes a full suite of supplements.
If there is a single supplement I would recommend to the uninitiated, it would absolutely be probiotics! If you've never tried a probiotic supplement before, I encourage you to dig into the massive body of medical research regarding the importance of gut health! I challenge you to try a probiotic supplement for 30 days and see for yourself! You will wonder how you ever lived without it! :)
