Assuming you're right...I don't care if he's theatrical or not. I care about accurate leaks, which he provides.

bopper

I haven't dug that deeply. We are all fallible and prone to cover our butts.I do agree indeed that if Sean is changing (becoming enlightened) that he will, and should, suffer personally and professionally. I would say that he's not in the Alex Jones category. Michael Savage has suffered for the things he's said. Maybe he's (Hannity) got Trump covering him and he will become bolder.

If indeed you find a link let me know, I'm open to anything. It's like Alex Jones, how can you be a real truth-teller when you've got such a slick operation, pretty girls and all, and you're able to drive home safely every night. Duh. I dislike Jones for snubbing Ventura when Ventura brought up 911 and Dr. Judy Woods. Same w/ Fetzer, don't trust him either (useful idiot though, like Jones).

bopper

He hates Obama. Sean's in same position as Drudge, etc. He's not going to 'go there' yet (pizzagate, Clinton Foundation yes).

bopper

We have no idea at this point, that's just conjecture. Hannity is tight with Trump, that I can tell you (Trump impersonation.)

bopper

Sean has come a long way. And he's always been proud of his sincerity, sometimes to an obnoxious fault. I began to finally like him when he started bashing the neocons, even before Trump was a phenomena. (Like Boehner.) I trust him at least as much as I do Savage.

Vindicator

If he is, he'said trying to bail his own ass out of the coming shitstorm. Dershowitz is child-rape enabling prick. Scary-effective at getting clients of the hook though.

Also, it's about an issue which is pretty current, which would alleviate any concerns that it's some kind of elaborate fake. I'm curious what he's going to say, because the interviewer mentions the Podesta E-mails specifically, so I feel like there's going to be something more about that.

Fatsack

Do you really think he is alive?

vvf

He looked pretty alive to me.

WanderingMitten

Definitely an interesting turn of events. Imagine if Hillary had won? Makes you wonder if Assange would be missing permanently.

With that put aside though we are definitely in an interesting cross-road of life, with the way technology can eerily mimic people to near perfection, the fight to get the truth out is definitely at a near peak.

Theupsidedown

Hold up: how do we know all this Hannity shit wasn't done like 2 months ago, or longer?

Ocelot

Probably in the full interview, they will reference current events as subtle proof.

Theupsidedown

Subtle proof? How about just regular old fucking proof?

bopper

Might be some of that too, the interview has not been shown yet.

8toborrm

He's doing a reddit AMA thursday. Take that how you'd like.

EndIsComing

The CGI sold the lie in the first days, but haven't they had enough time to slap together a fake Assange with plastic surgery now? Shit from Assange, post-sometime-late-in-2016, is poisoned until we get some proof of life more convincing than "hi, here I am, this is me, I'm totally not a fake"

28leinad82

plastic surgery.. hahahahah. seriously?

Sleuth222

There's still no proof of life. When he cryptographically signs a message stating the current date/time, then there will be proof.

ThruTheHaze

I don't think that means what you think it means ;)

Fateswebb

What he means is that if assange were to sign a message with his private key, people could validate it came from him with his public key.

bopper

Fine for IT folk. But this interview is for the masses, and I kinda doubt it's a hologram :( Let's at least withhold somewhat till the interview airs.

Fateswebb

What's up bopper, yeah I agree I am willing to look at the interview and decide if it seems faked. Keep in mind technology has came a long way.

bopper

Yeah, I've seen that face distortion stuff, pretty creepy. I'm running for the hills.

Freemasonsrus

Additional interview excerpt:

ASSANGE: Our publications had wide uptake by the American people, they're all true. But that's not the allegation that’s being presented by the Obama White House. So, why such a dramatic response? Well, the reason is obvious. They’re trying to delegitimize the Trump administration as it goes into the White House. They are trying to say that President-elect Trump is not a legitimate President...

ASSANGE: Our source is not a state party, so the answer for our interactions is no. But if we look at our most recent statement from the US government, which is on the 29th of December, OK, we had five different branches of government, Treasury, DHS, FBI, White House presenting their accusations to underpin Obama’s throwing out 29 Russian diplomats. What was missing from all of those statements? The word WikiLeaks. It’s very strange.

quantokitty

WOO HOO!!! Yeah, Assange. He had me worried ... collective phew!

Hope this all comes together. It would be nice to see that nest of vipers be locked up. They can dream about $2,500 pizzas, black and white pizza related mapping, hot dog stands in Hawaii, and handmade tortillas flown in from Mexico using the same wait staff!!! Yup, them were the days!!!

bopper

Off with their heads. Good things happen sometimes. Or, they could write on napkins and pass them back and forth between themselves in jail.

4thDaGrymReaper

I think they have that specific lighting arrangement for a reason, maybe to back off of the claims of CGI being used.

My Nigga Alive!!!

Ihatepizza2

That's funny. I thought the exact opposite when I watched. Can you elaborate your reasoning?

Fatsack

theres technology that can mimic facial movements and talking and voice mimicry. Need to compare this to his previous hannity interview

bopper

That stuff hasn't been perfected enough yet.

bopper

Crum, where did I read it?

bopper

Extremely extremely doubtful. I never doubted he was alive myself, though it did get a little spooky.

bopper

Hannity is in fact at the Ecuadorian Embassy. Now where did I read that, I swear I did.

bopper

You've got Drudge (who's very careful with what he runs), Fox News (okay not the greatest), and Zero Hedge all running this as a top story. It's much harder to believe it's fake than real. Wait till tomorrow @ 10PM.

Zero Hedge: The interview will mark Assange’s first face-to-face cable news appearance. It is not, however, the first time he’s spoken publicly to Hannity. Most recently, in December, Assange called into Hannity’s radio show, in which the host gushed to Assange that “you’ve done us a favor” in exposing gaps in U.S. cybersecurity.

gopluckyourself

you posted this as a discussion and then made comments please include the comment that relates it to pizzagate in your post. I'm leaving this up for now to give you a chance to do so.

Wolftrail7272

Dude I see you being a dick like this constantly throughout this sub, and if I notice it, I'm sure others do too.

gopluckyourself

I'm a moderator and my job is to enforce the rules. If that's being a dick then yes I'm being a dick. I was trying to be nice by not just deleting this post and asking him to establish relevance to pizzagate specifically. I think it's really cool that we might finally get proof of life for assange however assange =/= pizzagate.

Wolftrail7272

Gotcha. Sorry to be a dick, myself, then.

gopluckyourself

All good and please do call me out on shit. I'm not perfect and am prone to make mistakes. However my prime objective is to enforce the rules in the sidebar and maybe hopefully improve this place in the small ways I can.

8toborrm

You never know when months from now an investigator will find this thread or one similar and since the poster followed that rule the investigator finally has one last piece of information on a new lead to tie it all together.

The more complete the information in each place the better.

bolus

I for one welcome rule following. I trawl the new feed, and to many times i see really good articles pushed out by a bunch of off topic op-ed bs.

Be a dick, apologize never, trust nothing.

bopper

But, but, you drove me nuts! (I forgive you.)

gopluckyourself

Well obviously I wouldn't be doing my job right if I didn't step on a few toes lol. Do go ahead and make a statement in your thing that makes this even tangentially about pizzagate tho. something along the line of "Footage of interview hopefully he addresses pizzagate" or some shit like that.

bopper

Did you want it in the headline, I only did it in my comment next to the youtube link? But I'm TIRED (have to go to bed, thanks).

DarkMath

This is definitely related to PizzaGate. I remember long discussions here a couple of weeks ago about whether Assange was in CIA custody because Hannity interviewed him the last time over the phone.

gopluckyourself

Oh I agree it's pizzagate related I just want the op to establish the relevance for people who may be unfamiliar since not everyone has been here since the beginning.

terrordactyl

You don't need be so literal with the rules. You have some agency I suppose and are not a robot. Obviously this information is of great import to the investigation. It all started with wikileaks after all...

gopluckyourself

I believe I do in order to stop the slide. If I'm not on rails keeping everyone at least on the choo choo train to indictmentville then we'll be out chasing eyes in triangles pretty rapidly.

Theupsidedown

He's talking about the Podesta emails. Isn't the connection obvious?

Although, this happened almost a month ago and has been posted many times, so kind of probably worth removing just for that reason.

Fateswebb

Yeah this did not happen months ago, appears to be real, and is said to be set to air tomorrow.

Theupsidedown

Oh right on, I did not realize that.

bopper

This is a new face to face interview.

archons

No proof it was face to face, there was no establishing shot.

bopper

They've only aired a minute or so of the discussion so far.

archons

I saw that there is more and an over the shoulder from Julian which to me seems really fishy. I still do not accept this as authentic. They have plenty of time since their last fuck up to get their charade right. We have seen the technology they can use to fool us. They are only going to get better. Only Julian making a real life appearance from the Ecuador balcony would make me budge.

bopper

That 'technology' looks much to be desired, as of now.

memegod420

Where do you think the pizza related map quote came from?

bopper

Drudge headline says that Julian Assange AGAIN affirmed to Hannity that creepy Podesta emails were NOT a result of Russian hack.

Is this connected to the 'revelations' supposedly about to come from Trump tomorrow? "I know things that others don't."

PizzaAccount

I never really thought about it before, but couldn't Trump afford to hire the kind of people who could have done the hack in the first place? Maybe he was the original source.

bopper

But he's ever the showman.

PizzaAccount

I mean, he would have gotten some bragging in with the "I know things" comment.

bopper

The emails were a leak anyway, not really a hack, I don't think he had anything to do with emails.

PizzaAccount

It is unlikely he did, but the idea hadn't occurred to me before. It's just a fun, albeit farfetched theory.

DarkMath

Yep. It's got to. And also notice Hannity is interviewing Assange in person to allay any fears he's in CIA custody.

Freemasonsrus

Sean went there for a reason. I'm sure both he and Assange will have interesting stories to tell in the near future. Great idea filming while Hannity is supposed to be on Christmas break. No one saw that coming.

bopper

Exactly. The simple fact is that, for whatever reason, Hannity is the one being the go-between. Hannity may be dumb on some things (though he's waking up) but he's not a phony, I've 'known' him for years.

8toborrm

I want to believe...
