What happened to Julien Assange?

It is a bit suspicious.
Besides he hasn't appeared publicly in the last weeks, his internet connection was suddenly interrupted and there was heavily armed police outside of the embassy recently:

Re: What happened to Julien Assange?
I figured out when I was a teenager that "news" is what they want you to know. I think people are starting to catch on everywhere that what is reported is not necessarily the truth. What is worrying is those people who see new reports and fail to question there validity.
Proliferation of conspiracy theorists only adds weight to the misinformation. Some people are sucking it up and creating their own news which other adore and this fuels more and more people to do the same and push out their own agendas.
Strange times we live. Freedom of speech is more like freedom not to think it seems. Freedom to hear something and take it as a truth.
Humanity will get what it deserves. I hope my minute part in humanity allows good to prevail.

It is indeed very difficult to sift through fact and fiction, but I wouldn't say all conspiracy theorists try to desinform, with the exception of Alex Jones who has an obvious agenda.Burning ghost wrote:Who knows?

Some conspiracy theories later turned out to be true. If you want I can look up some examples for you.
There are however so many conspiracy theories, that it's hard to find the ones which might be true.

1. Watergate.
2. Hitler's claim that the Jews want to rule the world. This has been claimed to have been debunked, but it's actually true. It is also true that the Germans want to rule the world. So do the Russians, Americans, Hungarians, Nigerians, Neu-Zeelanders, Papuans, etc. etc. etc. It is true that each and every nation wants to rule the world. This part, however, and very unfortunately, was left out of Adolf Hitler's seminal work, the "Mein Kamps".
3. Alien's visitations over US air space. Many aliens visit US airspace in their aircrafts: Hungarian Airlines (MALEV), Pakistani International Airlines, KLM, Lufthansa, FMLSMAFAKED, etc. etc.
4. UFO sightings. Yes, there are currently a thousand UFO sightings registered daily. You see a bird, but you can't identify it. You don't know its social security number, its FaceBook page, its jDate member ID. Ergo, QED, the bird is an unidentified flying structure.
