Wikileaks has announced that Julian Assange's internet access had been intentionally severed by a state actor. I would assume this means they disrupted a VPN connection he had rather than just cutting all internet access to the Ecuadorian Embassy, but again details are limited.
The announcement of disruption was also preceded by multiple strange tweets of random numbers (likely crypto keys) that appear to be part of a dead man system activated by the disruption.
takyon: The full tweet states "Julian Assange's internet link has been intentionally severed by a state party. We have activated the appropriate contingency plans." Wikileaks recently released Part 9 of the Podesta Emails. Also at CNET and Ars Technica.
Update: Wikileaks says: "We can confirm Ecuador cut off Assange's internet access Saturday, 5pm GMT, shortly after publication of Clinton's Goldman Sachs speechs."
Perhaps the embassy's perennial guest has finally overstayed his welcome?

My US-centrism aside (sorry to microaggress you brah) I think you're being a little myopic if you don't accept that the US election affects you as well. Maybe not to the extent that it does the people actually living here, but certainly as much as brexit will affect us, at least, in a few years when you guys actually figure out what that means and how to implement it. Now is the world of globalism and secret trade agreements, and we've only hit the tip of the iceberg as far as that level of bullshit goes.
For what it's worth though, I find it tedious as well, and I'm fucking trapped in the country to which it's directly relevant. I was simply trying to explain it, not excuse it.
Don't blame me, I voted for moose wang!
