I think Assange is part of the play. When Wikileaks "leaked" the first time, I knew about every single thing People were talking about. All the things had been posted - some of them years before - on AboveTopSecret dot com, where I was a silver contributor at the time (not knowing then that it was a CIA-run site).
How can You leak something that is already out?
Some facts I learned about Assange (copied from a friend):
He grew up in an MKUltra cult called "The Family."
He's worked with multiple government organisations, especially US based government organisations.
He lived in the same small town as Craig Wright, where they are both alleged to have worked with the NSA on cryptographic projects – for a future trackable, cashless society – which is why Wikileaks was the first organisation to use and popularise Bitcoin – to make a cashless society seem rebellious and trendy.
Wikileaks never released anything significant, it just released things that undermined national governments – which is perfect if you want a global government, which no one would accept if everyone was proud of their national governments.
Ecuador is a CIA run country, so seeking refuge in there was nothing but part of the play.
He also served the illusion that if you whistle blew, this will happen to you, making it less likely people will whistle blow, and also taking the incentive away because the illusion is, Assange is already doing it.
I give very low probability He was locked up at all and this is a sort of sog-wagging.
