Wikileaks Contingency Plan
So what is the Wikileaks contingency plan. Well, it appears that there are operatives across the world who have the packets of information described above, and that Wikileaks has just given them the green light to do something with them. Now that the keys are public, the holders of the information can look at it and post it as they choose.
So if Assange is killed, or captured, or his servers are confiscated or somehow incapacitated, the material will still be released.
What does this mean? Clearly, Assange thinks something serious is about to happen, and he wants to ensure that the information that he has becomes public.
Now what does Assange think is going to happen to him? And what is the material contained in those three packets? We don't know yet, but we'll likely find out soon.
