Heavy has a bit on all of this including speculation what this drop will be.

Ok I went over that. I have no idea what they're hinting at.
Let me guess - WL STILL hasn't found any Cyrillic emails or documents yet, right?

Neat. Admittedly love the intrigue. But anything that distracts from the runaway train of Trump Russia facts is just that, a distraction. Also concerned that Trump needs a distraction and a military conflict and both seem to be magically arriving. (See cover of Drudge for North Korea hype).

Good timing. Trump -) Putin -) Assange...Please release something to distract from the small fire in the Oval. Bigly thanks.

Trump is on the cyber so this is probably a hoax.

I'm guessing someone's been hiding all those MGM silent movies for 50 years.

You are so wrong, it's embarrassing.
It's Trump's SON who is going to save us. He's the one who is an expert in the cyber.

I am actually a fan of Wikileaks. If they can expose illegal activities that are going on in the world, classified or not, then I think we need to know about it. It was fascinating watching the right go from wanting to publicly execute Assange to hailing him as a hero overnight. I'm hoping it's a Trump/GOP bombshell just so I can watch them reverse course again.

I make fun of what people read into the Wikileaks released materials. It's usually interesting enough without trying to crowdsource-mind#### it into something else.

The tag line for Vault 7 is "year zero." Speculation is that it refers to a country or world order resetting to zero, but it would sure be interesting if it was Wikileaks resetting as something other than pro-Russian.

Today, Tuesday 7 March 2017, WikiLeaks begins its new series of leaks on the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. Code-named "Vault 7" by WikiLeaks, it is the largest ever publication of confidential documents on the agency.
The first full part of the series, "Year Zero", comprises 8,761 documents and files from an isolated, high-security network situated inside the CIA's Center for Cyber Intelligence in Langley, Virgina. It follows an introductory disclosure last month of CIA targeting French political parties and candidates in the lead up to the 2012 presidential election.
Recently, the CIA lost control of the majority of its hacking arsenal including malware, viruses, trojans, weaponized "zero day" exploits, malware remote control systems and associated documentation. This extraordinary collection, which amounts to more than several hundred million lines of code, gives its possessor the entire hacking capacity of the CIA. The archive appears to have been circulated among former U.S. government hackers and contractors in an unauthorized manner, one of whom has provided WikiLeaks with portions of the archive.
"Year Zero" introduces the scope and direction of the CIA's global covert hacking program, its malware arsenal and dozens of "zero day" weaponized exploits against a wide range of U.S. and European company products, include Apple's iPhone, Google's Android and Microsoft's Windows and even Samsung TVs, which are turned into covert microphones.

CIA 'hoarded' vulnerabilities ("zero days")
In the wake of Edward Snowden's leaks about the NSA, the U.S. technology industry secured a commitment from the Obama administration that the executive would disclose on an ongoing basis — rather than hoard — serious vulnerabilities, exploits, bugs or "zero days" to Apple, Google, Microsoft, and other US-based manufacturers.
Serious vulnerabilities not disclosed to the manufacturers places huge swathes of the population and critical infrastructure at risk to foreign intelligence or cyber criminals who independently discover or hear rumors of the vulnerability. If the CIA can discover such vulnerabilities so can others.
The U.S. government's commitment to the Vulnerabilities Equities Process came after significant lobbying by US technology companies, who risk losing their share of the global market over real and perceived hidden vulnerabilities. The government stated that it would disclose all pervasive vulnerabilities discovered after 2010 on an ongoing basis.
"Year Zero" documents show that the CIA breached the Obama administration's commitments. Many of the vulnerabilities used in the CIA's cyber arsenal are pervasive and some may already have been found by rival intelligence agencies or cyber criminals.
As an example, specific CIA malware revealed in "Year Zero" is able to penetrate, infest and control both the Android phone and iPhone software that runs or has run presidential Twitter accounts. The CIA attacks this software by using undisclosed security vulnerabilities ("zero days") possessed by the CIA but if the CIA can hack these phones then so can everyone else who has obtained or discovered the vulnerability. As long as the CIA keeps these vulnerabilities concealed from Apple and Google (who make the phones) they will not be fixed, and the phones will remain hackable.
The same vulnerabilities exist for the population at large, including the U.S. Cabinet, Congress, top CEOs, system administrators, security officers and engineers. By hiding these security flaws from manufacturers like Apple and Google the CIA ensures that it can hack everyone &mdsh; at the expense of leaving everyone hackable.

I get the NSA leaks, as they pertained to illegal spying on Americans. Can we have no spy craft? And by craft, aren't we supposed to be crafty in how we gather intelligence from foreign entities?
On the surface, this crosses a line that negatively affects national security. If there are bombshells that Americans have been targeted by personal devices acting as microphones, without a warrants, then that's different.
I have tended to give Assange the benefit of the doubt for not working directly with the Russians. But if the implication in these leaks is rouge state that needs to be purged, I think it's good to view with caution.
