Has Assange/Wikileaks Been Compromised?

It’s now been just over a week since the Ecuadorian Consulate revoked Julian Assange’s internet access, following the leak of Hillary Clinton’s Goldman Sachs speeches. US Secretary of State John Kerry asked for Assange’s internet to be cut off and this was apparently acquiesced to by the Ecuadorian government.

Since that time, the @Wikileaks Twitter account is widely believed to be run by a new voice. Long-time followers of the account have noted the change in tone.

Now Julian Assange’s mentor, Gavin MacFadyen, founder of the Centre for Investigative Journalism and a @Wikileaks director, has been announced to have died of an undisclosed cause.

Wikileaks tweeted a statement about MacFadyen’s death, signed “JA” to indicate they are Julian Assange’s words.
