They took down the entire Internet to prevent Assange's dead man switch from releasing. Then they blamed it on foreign hackers, while actual hackers saw the attacks originated from our gov't. Kind of like when they found out in 2016 that Obama's DHS had been hacking voter databases. That story disappeared faster than the Wikileaks wrap-up.
That was when Assange was going to release the next slate of emails. Internet down. Back up. Emails released with times stamps 101 101 (Room 101, where Winston was tortured until he came around to the party line). First Wikileaks release where metadata had been modified to send clear signal there was tampering. Emails in the drop missing. Reports flood the interwebs of Wikileaks ppl individually arrested in targeted strikes in multiple locations. This was 2016. Memory holed, quickly.

Wait that’s what happened on Christmas? Or this was a separate event afterwards?
