Rumours have been circulating for the last few days that whistle blower, Edward Snowden, may be dead...

A massive new leak from Edward Snowden is believed to be imminent, after he tweeted a cryptic 64 character code, before going on complete lockdown.

A massive new leak from Edward Snowden is believed to be imminent, after the former NSA contractor turned whistleblower tweeted a cryptic 64 character tweet that was deleted minutes later, before going on complete lockdown, leading the world to fear for his safety.

The cryptic 64 character code that Snowden tweeted Friday sparked fears the message was a ‘dead man’s switch’ meaning Snowden is either dead or compromised.

As speculation regarding his situation grew on Saturday, the Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald tweeted the pithy message “he’s fine” and the Post reporter Barton Gellman, who Greenwald has previously blasted for making false claims about Snowden, followed suit stating he believed Snowden was safe. However until we hear from Snowden himself – and can verify it is really him – fears for his safety remain.

Dead Man’s Switch

A dead man’s switch is a message set up to be automatically sent if the holder of the account does not perform a regular check-in. In Snowden’s case, the message triggered by his dead man’s switch would be the key to the encrypted files he distributed among journalists and associates in 2013.

Edward Snowden tweet

Snowden’s leak in 2013 sent shockwaves through the intelligence community that are still being felt today, and confirmed suspicions that many people had held about the NSA for years. However the information he released in that leak was a mere fraction of the data he held when he left the United States.

This data was disseminated in encrypted files to trusted journalists and associates. There is a network of people holding encrypted files containing information that was deemed too sensitive to release at the time by Snowden.

Assange Accuses Snowden Of Courting Obama’s Favour

Edward Snowden and Julian Assange of Wikileaks have publicly disagreed over the issue of how much information should be shared, with Snowden criticising Wikileaks for being hostile to “even modest curation.”

Edward Snowden wikileaks

Assange, appearing on Real Talk with Bill Maher from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London on Saturday, said Snowden was attempting to curry favour with the current US administration in the hopes of receiving a pardon from Obama before he leaves office.

“Donald Trump said he would execute him [Snowden] and Hillary Clinton, of course, said she would aggressively prosecute him.

“So from the perspective of Wikileaks, trying to protect its sources, you have two very bad presidential candidates.”

Snowden: “It’s Time”

Three days ago Snowden sent another cryptic tweet, addressed to his former NSA colleagues, with the message “It’s time.” It is understood with Friday’s 64 character tweet that he may have released the key to the encrypted files.

Edward Snowden dead

If so it raises the question of whether he is still alive, as fears grow the cryptic 64 character code is a ‘dead man’s switch’ released in the event of his death or captivity.

A dead man’s switch ensures secrets do not go to the grave with the holder of the switch. Employing a switch is also a means of disincentivizing your potential assassination.

Julian Assange is known to have set up a similar dead man’s switch to ensure the survival of sensitive information in the event of his death. Wikileaks insurance files – encrypted files – were shared by Wikileaks with people around the world. If Assange dies unexpectedly, a key to the files will be shared and access made available to the insurance files.

Torrent Sites Taken Offline

Reports surfaced that at least eight popular torrent sites used for distributing large files were immediately taken offline after Snowden’s tweet, suggesting the distribution of files is being suppressed, or at least slowed down, adding to the speculation that Snowden has been compromised and the key to his sensitive insurance files has been released.

Until the world hears from the former NSA contractor turned whistleblower – and we can verify that it is actually him – fears will remain regarding his situation.

Either way, with the release of this 64 character code, coupled with Snowden’s “It’s time” message days earlier, be prepared for a major leak in the near future.

What are your thoughts on this KiwiElf? And wherever Edward Snowden is, I hope he knows we appreciate his sacrifices. Bill Maher is no friend of humanity, imho.

Not quite sure what you are asking me Weezer? Are you referring to the OP (ie Snowden's disappearance) or your link (AI computers replacing journalists - which doesn't appear to have any relevance to the OP, but definitely warrants a thread of its own :))?

Good to know, thanks Atlas :) - Still seems a bit strange. (btw the "Big Wikileaks dump" is anticipated for this weekend - 13-14 AUG ... along with other possible leaks & events) ;)

[LivioRazlo]

The string of characters in Ed Snowden's message being dubbed "Dead Man Switch" is commonly thought to a PGP key that could unlock a treasure trove of documents, what if by chance it's actually some message coded in hexadecimal.

[KiwiElf]

That's the weird bit - why would he tweet it at all?

[TargeT]

That's the weird bit - why would he tweet it at all?

hes earlier tweet "its time" indicates that he is giving the needed information to start something.

This is most likely an encrypted (hashed) value.. it could be a PGP key, it could be a number, it could be almost anything, it could be hashed 40000 times... that's the power of hashing, unless you know how that string of characters was created; you really don't know where to start.

If I knew that it was sha256 I could run a brute force attack against it; it would take a while with 64 characters, but not forever... since I DON'T know how the value was derived it's nearly impossible to guess what those characters represent.

Now we could be getting into dirty tricks or at least not letting a good scandal

DNC hack may have been inside job – NSA whistleblower

gDH1qWC8-T0

Published on 12 Aug 2016

Following the scandal with hacked DNC emails that were leaked to the public,
the party and US officials have been quick to blame Russia. NSA whistleblower
William Binney, however, said in a radio interview that the DNC hack may have
been an inside job. Hillary Clinton has a problem with the NSA after she
compromised highly sensitive Gamma Material on her private server, and the
hack may have been the agency’s revenge, Binney said. RT America’s Alexey
Yaroshevsky has the story.

US officials want to sanction Russia over DNC hack – report

President Obama and other US officials are thinking of imposing more economic
sanctions on Russia after the hack of the Democratic National Committee emails,
the Wall Street Journal reported citing anonymous sources. No evidence has been
presented that Russia was behind the hack, however. Wikileaks founder Julian
Assange declined to name his sources, but quoted them as saying that “the DNC’s
security is like Swiss cheese.” RT’s Gayane Chichakyan reports.

Nothing about Snowden is being reported by the mainstream. On a side note... think someone has Hillary's deleted emails? Her server was supposedly hacked and I could see Snowden being targeted if he had them.

[KiwiElf]

Yeah, I'm curious as to why Snowden - if he really is OK - isn't making some statement himself, (tweeted or otherwise) rather than via his lawyer or Greenwald?

From what I can gather, just about everyone has Hillary's emails (eg FBI, NSA, Wikileaks and Russia) - how much more "proof" do they need to prosecute? Oooops, I forgot,... those who should be prosecuting her are allegedly implicated themselves :sun:

The whole system is rotten to the core, starting with the MSM! - "they" own it! ;)

"This song is dedicated to ALL of the brave people who try to reveal the corruption!

"How dare they keep the secrets after all we've paid?"


Lyrics:

Don't be blaming Edward Snowden
It's the truth that he's exposin'
Heroes and Traitors, Scandals and Lies
The guilty go free while the whistleblowers fry

So much carefully orchestrated crime
That's why they fool you every time
Mainstream Media wants you to believe
That these heroes wanted to deceive

DON'T TURN THE VOICES OFF!
When did truth become a crime?
DON'T TURN THE VOICES OFF!
Let the criminals do their time!
DON'T TURN THE VOICES OFF!
Seeds of doubt, Nothing good's for free
DON'T TURN - We paid our dues
It's time to let us SEE!

Assange and Snowden and Bradley Manning
Risked it all to expose the government scamming
They are HEROES, They're NOT traitors
Bilderberg Cronies and Obama are the HATERS!
Secrets and Lies
There's a whole gallery
Even though we're the ones who pay their salaries!
ALL TRUTH REVEALED - THERE'S NO OTHER WAY!
How dare they keep the secrets after all we've paid?

DON'T TURN THE VOICES OFF!
When did truth become a crime?
DON'T TURN THE VOICES OFF!
Let the criminals do their time!
DON'T TURN THE VOICES OFF!
Seeds of doubt, Nothing good's for free
DON'T TURN - We paid our dues
It's time to let us SEE!

Ben Swann and Richard Gilbert revealed to the nation
The facts ignored by your TV stations.
We're ready for a REVEALATION!

Ron Paul says "Espionage means revealing secrets to the enemy. Secrets were revealed to us, the U.S. citizens-
Since when did WE become the enemy?
If we are the enemy, who is the friend?

Ron Paul says speak loud and speak often, for they can never unhear what we've told them.

The IRS Scandal, more than you can handle?
Ben Ghazi, Ben WHOOZIE? What does it matter?
It matters to the families whose lives are now shattered.

Fast and Furious so many die
While the DOJ distracts with cover-ups and lies!

You can buy Hemp products but you can't grow it here
Another way your government gives it up your rear.
Medical Marijuana May cure Cancer
But not on their watch
They don't want the answer!
They don't want the answer!
THEY DON'T WANT THE ANSWER!!


DON'T TURN THE VOICES OFF!
When did truth become a crime?
DON'T TURN THE VOICES OFF!
Let the criminals do their time!
DON'T TURN THE VOICES OFF!
Seeds of doubt, Nothing good's for free
DON'T TURN - We paid our dues
It's time to let us SEE!

DON'T TURN THE VOICES OFF!!!

I suppose this has already been noticed somewhere, and it's probably stating the obvious, but Snowden's tweeted message does seem to be in hexadecimal, using the repertoire of 16 characters/figures: '0123456789' plus 'abcdef' ie 16 symbols in all.

that they plan to release a new batch of e-mails exposing the intimate ties between Hillary
Clinton and Gulen’s 25+ Billion shady network. Sibel Edmonds explains how Fethullah Gulen
was brought into the United States during the Clinton Administration, and how Bill Clinton’s
White House, the State Department and the Justice Department’s Janet Reno provided the
infamous mullah and his terrorism-heroin operations with blanket immunity and protection.
We also take a look at Clinton’s hand-picked handlers, Graham Fuller and Mark Grossman,
selected to manage and direct Gulen’s cells in the U.S. and abroad.

I don't think this is Snowden but it is some fresh leakage.

Few thousand files from Soros organizations; source, DC Leaks--known to be reliable?

http://soros.dcleaks.com/

Some of that is about as bad as what you would imagine it would be.

[Flash]

Late Monday afternoon, the mistress of the infamous Edward Snowden announced the death of Snowden, who was allegedly killed this past Saturday by a drunken knife wielding Buryat man in the Republic of Buryatia.

MKRU News (Russia) reported this past Saturday that a drunken man who for some reason took exception to a man, presumably Snowden, saving his wife from drowning, attacked a woman by slicing her neck and stabbed her male companion in the thigh, who later died from severe blood loss in a local hospital.

MKRU reported that young people brought a woman to life, presumably the wife of the attacker, and began to accompany her to a parking lot. At that point, the husband who was hiding between some cars rushed at them with a knife.

As a result, one person was stabbed in the thigh, the second – in the chin area. The injured were taken to a nearby hospital, where one of them died as a result of the extensive blood loss. The unidentified man was allegedly 27 years old. (Snowden who was born on June 21, 1983, would be 33 now)

Mistress Of Edward Snowden Pronounces Snowden Dead In Russia

Late this afternoon (approximately 4:45pm Moscow time), a women posted the following comment with MKRU:

Человек, который умер был от друга , Eward Сноуден . Он был великим патриотом и будет не хватать меня и моей семьи . Какая бессмысленная смерть от пьяного

English translation: The man who died was my friend Eward Snowden . He was a great fighter and will miss me and my family . What a senseless death from a drunken ???

Mistress Of Edward Snowden Pronounces Snowden Dead In Russia

In later response to the aforementioned comment a woman using the user name Lindsay (possibly Lindsay Mills) posted the following:

Наташа , ты, сука . Вы не имели права сообщать кому-либо о смерти моего дорогого Эдварда . Ты шлюха . Разве не достаточно для вас , что вы обманули? Спал с моим мужем ? Это было мое место, чтобы сломать новости – новости должны быть разбиты . Позор на вас шлюхой . Линдсей

English translation: Natasha, you bitch. You had no right to inform someone about the death of my dear Edward. You’re a whore. Is not it enough for you that you cheated? Slept with my husband? It was my place to break the news – news must be broken. Shame on you whore .
