#OctoberSurprise Official Thread. What a Twitter Clusterfuck.

[msanthrope]

Okay...thanks to insomnia, I'm up and monitoring Twitter.

No one is really sure when the #OctoberSurprise is actually happening...3 am? 4am? When Donald next gets up to go?

[msanthrope]

1. I'm not surprised at how many people eagerly waiting for this routinely use "bitch"

to describe our nominee. Nor am I surprised by the Pepe the Frog's many appearances.

[msanthrope]

2. So far, Frank Luntz for best tweet....

My sources tell me @WikiLeaks' highly anticipated #OctoberSurprise is the release of a new Adele album.

[msanthrope]

3. 4am, apparently. Assuming Julian isn't drone struck. Hosted by Infowars. nt

[Control-Z]

10. What time zone? (nt)

[msanthrope]

11. Est...7 mins. nt

[msanthrope]

4. There is the expected claim of Twitter Censorship!!!! No, you dumbasses....It's "Surprise."

#OctoberSuprise is a different hashtag. That's why you aren't number 1 trending.

[msanthrope]

5. Shout out to bravenak! nt

[MyNameIsKhan]

6. Graveyard shift ... Very busy though

Let me know what ass......... Disclose

[msanthrope]

7. I don't think I can bring myself to watch Infowars. Any volunteers? nt

[msanthrope]

8. Apparently, Julian felt unsafe on his balcony. So there will be a "Berlin" press conference.

Via the Ecuadorian embassy in London. Which, true story, sacrificed space from the ladies' loo to make room for Assange.

[remaineruk]

14. Hi it's morning in the UK

I will keep you company til my meetings start

How appropriate he lives in a toilet.

[msanthrope]

16. Welcome. This is supposed to be big!! nt

[msanthrope]

9. I just saw a tweet from a gentleman who insisted that Trump has a "Twitter desk."

I guess that's a polite way to say "toilet."

[msanthrope]

12. I wonder how much prepper shit Alex Jones sells tonight. nt

[msanthrope]

13. Blast from the past...very proud of great white snark's rec.....

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026388527

[remaineruk]

17. When assange the rapist took refuge at the embassy

He had a lot of prominent friends in the UK. They raised money for his defense etc. Very quickly they worked out he is a narcissist and batshit mad....they distanced themselves very very quickly. Oh and he took their money

[msanthrope]

20. Those twits deserved to lose cash. nt

[msanthrope]

15. Waiting. nt

[msanthrope]

18. Apparently, water is being opened. nt

[remaineruk]

19. Is assange walking on it?

[Princess Turandot]

21. LOL nt

[msanthrope]

22. I haven't brought myself to actually watch....I'm following twitter. Strangely, I don't

think it detracts from my reportage.

[remaineruk]

23. Not seeing his ferret face probably allows you to be more impartial nt

[msanthrope]

28. I'm not sure he's even "there" yet. mt

[remaineruk]

30. He does like to ham it up nt

[msanthrope]

32. Takes a few minutes for the rail to take the edge off the binge. nt

[scscholar]

35. He already admitted he won't be there

He is afraid to go to Germany. Afraid to go to Germany. He just hides. Just hides.

[msanthrope]

45. Isn't he supposed to be there via Skype? Or is he afraid the drone will lock on to

the signal?

[scscholar]

48. He has not shown his face. Not shown his face.

Apparently he has nothing.

[tblue37]

108. Ferrets are cute and adorable. He is not. nt

[vadermike]

24. So

Nothingburger ? Wtf?

[vadermike]

25. Lol

Lol

[BlueStateLib]

26. LIVE Stream: Wikileaks/Assange October Surprise Press Conference

Warning Source: Right Side Broadcasting

[msanthrope]

27. You need a warning label on that shit....nt

[remaineruk]

29. Anything to report yet?

[msanthrope]

31. Chomsky says Happy Anniversary, Alex Jones is selling shit. No Julian yet. nt

[msanthrope]

33. Wiki leaks is passing the hat. nt

[scscholar]

34. Watching it now, and he hasn't even shown his face!

That proves he is ashamed that he has nothing. Has nothing.

[remaineruk]

38. Touching up his make up? Using a body double? Nt

[scscholar]

41. Or, getting his final instructions from Putin

Interesting how now that woman is claiming they had Russian leaks when they had none. Had none.

[msanthrope]

43. James Blond is waiting for his intro music. nt

[Stand and Fight]

36. Uh.... Ummm... Sarah Harrison says that a lot.

I think this is going to be a huge letdown to all of those hoping for some big reveal. Assange needs to be dealt with.

[msanthrope]

40. Bless you that you are actually watching!!!! I can't bring myself to do more than refresh twitter.

You are brave!

[Stand and Fight]

44. I think I'm going to be kicking myself in the butt. I really should be in bed!

[msanthrope]

37. Wikileaks.....still passing the hat. nt

[scardycat]

39. LIVE Stream: Wikileaks/Assange October Surprise Press Conference-

[msanthrope]

42. Yeah......already upthread, and you really should post a warning. nt

[scardycat]

51. sorry about no warning WARNING WARNING!! n/t

[Demsrule86]

46. Nothing but a bunch of bullshit so far...touting their own horn before Assange ruined their

credibility. I guess Assange thinks he is being cute by claiming an assassination attempt...hey Julian unless you pissed off your Russian buddies, you are not important enough...playing to the meme of the Clinton's are dangerous bullshit.

[scardycat]

49. So far borringggg!! n/t

[vadermike]

47. Wtf

Is this

[msanthrope]

50. Apparently, Julian isn't due to join this infomercial for another 1/2 hour. nt

[remaineruk]

52. Then will come out with his jazz hands on

Twunt.

[msanthrope]

53. There's a segment on the assassination attempt coming up. nt

[remaineruk]

54. What attempt? I bet his room is covered in tin foil

[msanthrope]

58. I think some drunk took a piss in the backyard a few weeks ago. Assange claimed this was

HRC climbing his balcony.

Pretty godamn spry, I thought.

[LAS14]

64. Rats! With this kind of information I'm going to have to stay up another 13 minutes ....

... at least! I too got up with insomnia.

[LAS14]

65. Waere did you hear this? Is it any more reliable than CNN saying...

... "soon?"

[msanthrope]

68. Twitter.....they've released an agenda. nt

[grossproffit]

55. Is Kevin Trudeau up next? The natural cures loon?

[grossproffit]

56. Wow, they're a thirsty bunch.

[msanthrope]

61. Has the timeshare presentation started? nt

[grossproffit]

67. HAHAHA!

[OKNancy]

57. I wrote this last night

http://upload.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=2464788

There will be no bombshell tomorrow or any other day. Assange is faking.

[remaineruk]

59. Have they revealed that father Christmas isn't real yet? Nt

[RandySF]

60. OMG I've never really seen the bunker dwellers on display like this

Pepe the Frog is well represented on the twitter feed tonight.

[grossproffit]

62. I read that as "rape" the frog and thought it was a new Assange nickname.

[msanthrope]

63. Full daylight in Russia. nt

[JHB]

66. Somewhere, Geraldo Rivera is laughing his ass off

Al Capone'a vault has been dethroned

[msanthrope]

70. Fox News is showing this....they NEVER learn. nt

[grossproffit]

69. This is a Julian Assange circle jerk.

[msanthrope]

71. At this point, I'd donate simply to get them to shut the fuck up and get on with it. nt

[msanthrope]

72. Ok....where is Julian? nt

[msanthrope]

73. They've hooked him in, he's wearing a "truth" shirt. nt

[Demsrule86]

76. Hillarious.

He is rambling on and on about 'justice' and the quest for knowledge and understanding. I wonder how much he showed for his victims...or any woman. He is a misogynist clearly. Wiki is dead... if you have no credibility, then you are finished.

[grossproffit]

74. Is he really wearing a truth t-shirt? How rich.

[msanthrope]

75. No one can Skype properly. nt

[msanthrope]

77. Infowars has just called it a "train wreck." Jeebus. nt

[LAS14]

78. Thanks to those who are watching and reporting.

I can't understand what he's saying, and it sounds like he's going to go on for a while listening to his own voice. I'm waiting for the responses in this thread to start climbing.

[Stand and Fight]

79. HA HA HA HA HA

"If we're going to make a major publication in relation to the United States, we don't do it at 3am." - J. Assange
Sorry haters! #wikileaks

[scardycat]

80. He just said...if there was something

that the United States is interested in, he wouldnt be announcing it at 3:00 a..m...... Total Bust!!

[msanthrope]

82. Damn it...now I'm laughing too hard to sleep!! nt

[pinboy3niner]

85. Don't worry. We're never gonna give you up. Never gonna let you down.

[msanthrope]

92. Never gonna desert me, are ya'? nt

[MrWendel]

81. You all been Wikirolled.

[starri]

83. That was exactly my reaction. nt

[Demsrule86]

89. Yep, what a waste of time.

Assange is an asshat...he was trying to imply the Hil had a plot to assassinate him...Assange you would not be worth it...what do you really know stuck in an embassy on lockdown for years now for a criminal offense...what an ass...an hours long infomercial trying to raise money from the suckers.

[msanthrope]

84. The tears of thwarted trumpkins are sweet. nt

[grossproffit]

87. I've grown to like this song.

[SeattleVet]

86. A crummy commercial!

B-E
S-U-R-E
T-O
D-R-I-N-K
Y-O-U-R
O-V-A-L-T-I-N-E

[pinboy3niner]

94. *snort*

[pnwmom]

88. It's just one big infomercial for his book. n/t

[msanthrope]

90. 40 percent off!!! nt

[Ardoewaan]

91. An observation

The right wing used to have echo chambers where they would hone their negative messages before they would bring them out in the mainstream media. This election season the echo chambers have two main flaws:

1) They're are counting on others to do their work for them (e.g. Assange).
2) They are locked into their own echo chambers (e.g. r/the_donals, free republic) and their message is so out of touch with reality that they effectively have no influence on the reporting in the media.
3) A corollary: They have such (deluded) confidence in the genius of Trump that they feel little incentive to get of their asses. Trump is playing 11-dimensional chess with the press and they are rearranging the deck chairs.

So, all in all good news. Not saying that the cat is in the bag, but it's looking pretty good.

[hwmnbn]

107. Good points, Ardoewaan...

and welcome to DU

[RandySF]

93. WTF just happened?

[msanthrope]

95. Infomercial. Alex Joes got punked, and I'm betting is hoping for a drone strike. nt

[Ardoewaan]

101. I felt a great disturbance

in the Temperament, as if millions of pepes suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

[LAS14]

96. It IS like CNN saying "soon." Did I hear right? He's got...

...thousands of e-mails (we knew that) and he's going to release them.... when?

[msanthrope]

98. Soon, damn it. Go buy the book before HRC assassinates him!! nt

[MrWendel]

97. In a way...

reading other sites off right wingers losing their collective shit.(Shout out to Alex Jones) It's kind of worth it. I literally burst out laughing reading the reactions. Who needs to stay up late night for Jimmy Kimble when you have Wikileaks?

[msanthrope]

99. I can't wait to read the Freepers. nt

[pnwmom]

103. You can see them commenting on this site. . . .

And they are SO DISTRAUGHT!

They say Hillary threatened him, or that he's a sell-out, and they all got trolled!

Very funny.

(Okay, I just realized you need to go directly to youtube and then type in the title, beginning with "Live stream: . . . "

The comments are streaming on the right.

[scardycat]

100. This is just one big...

infomercial for wikidleaks...asking for donations....has a book out?? WTF??? haha...he has nothing...the dtrump deplorables heads are exploding!!

[msanthrope]

102. Goodnight all.....finally tired! nt

[book_worm]

104. Glad I got a good nights sleep and didn't get up for this rubbish.

[JHB]

105. Wikileaks donations are up...

Geraldo Rivera is donating his collection of 1920s pop bottles. "They're trophies," Rivera said, "and they should go to the new champ for this sort of event."

[msanthrope]

106. Got some sleep.....what a farce!!! nt
