The FindingAssange.com site and the Hannity interview were both CIA ops and here is why
74 2016-12-15 by Filmpolice
That the interview was fake is now apparent to most. Tell tale signs include identical "ahhs" that are pasted throughout, as well as the stilted rapidity of responses. The vocal intonation is awkward as it is a mixed bag of previous statements Assange made as well as new ones created with Voco-like software.
(See how voco works here and cross reference with the voice in Hannity interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3l4XLZ59iw)
As well as a sudden influx of CTR-sounding comments giving credence to it. Example "Lots of excitement that he's alive now, this is legit!!! Super excited." These comments immediately received tons of upvotes the speed of which could only indicate bots.
But even more telling is that the words they put in Assange's mouth are implicitly confirming the CIAs narrative.
Take a look here: http://thehill.com/policy/cybersecurity/310654-assange-some-leaks-may-have-been-russian
Some give aways:
“These look very much like they’re from the Russians. But in some ways, they look very amateur, and almost look too much like the Russians." - (alleged) Assange
(Note he is implicitly punting to the CIA narrative while being made to suggest a modicum of skepticism to maintain realness. They need just enough from him but not too much that it would give away the fact that it's engineered.)
“Craig Murray is not authorized to talk on behalf of WikiLeaks,” Assange said sternly.
That the site FindingAssange.com is assigning the label of "legit" to what is clearly a forged interview also leads me to believe that the whole purpose behind the site was to stir us toward the Hannity interview and try to put to rest rumors that Assange is dead or captured, and worse, to make the fake "Assange" say things that are implicitly confirming the CIAs propaganda.

He's dead. A thousand times, he's dead. Finding Assange was bullshit. Here's the Clintons jumping for joy when they got the news they got him. Liveleak took note of the "premature celebration" beore the election. After fucking Barbed Wire tits brought Julian poison. They let Pamela Anderson into where he's being detained? Really? That's no big deal to anyone? And she's in the Spirit Cooking photos eating Abramovic's "cake"?
He's dead and we need another Salem.

I've responded to this clip over and over this is from the Showtime series "The Circus"
I do believe he is dead however.

no, plz this cant be true :'(

It isn't a poor understanding of things, but no, it isn't true. That video is from one of the debate nights. I remember joking Hillary was wearing a Babylon costume.
Assange getting killed would be such an egregious mistake it isn't worth risking.

You left out the part where he said they seem TOO russian and if it seems too russian, it might not actually be the case.
Youre selectively picking things to dispute

He was talking about Guccifer 1. Not the podesta emails.
0 The_Watterboy 2016-12-15
Yea, but the OPs point was that he admitted that there ARE russian hackers (guccifer), even though there weren't any in wikileaks
2 Autocoprophage 2016-12-15
iirc, Guccifer is Romanian and has admitted to hiding behind false Russian characteristics to disguise himself.

I don't have any answers, but my BS detectors are ringing like crazy. Something seems fishy with all of this

He's not agreeing with the CIA narrative. He's talking about Guccifer 2.0, etc. not his work. He confirms multiple times that none of his leaks are Russian.

I'm shocked so many people are just accepting this is him...

Thanks for saying this.

I think TPTB found them and changed the website. They're just buying time hoping we will forget. How much do you want to bet that some other easily faked proof of life is forthcoming
4 IHeartFemanons 2016-12-15
This is why we can't have nice things ;_;
4 UnforgivenRanger 2016-12-15
So are we to assume Assange is compromised?
4 LupinePeregrinans 2016-12-15
He's dead or in custody. Anticipating WL to break their 100% success rate in the next 6 months. Only so long it can be a limited hangout before they overstep and slip something small out to push a narrative that they can't achieve through spinning "real" stuff.

If that is true the ruse can only last so long. It could be Obama just wants him silenced so he can leave office with some dignity. His support of Hillary was unwavering.
-3 sciototrails 2016-12-15
I believe it was Julian in the interview. I believe he is alive but not free. I feel relieved and thankful he is safe.

Here is why I don't think that it is voco: humans use inflection in their voice at key parts of a conversation to stress certain points. You may say a sentence or similar phrase twice in one conversation; but one of the two times when you say a similar phrase, you may stress it differently to really hit home the point that corresponds with it.
Voco matches waveforms and words together and then, from what I can tell, applies a sort of "match equalization" to fill in the rest of the dictionary of words that you didn't load into it, that is probably applied to some generic baseline 'voice' that already has text-to-speech.
This means that, if you feed it phrases/words, but you speak them "excitedly", then the voco will recite those words in the same way with the same gusto as what you gave it to work with. If you feed it those base phrases spoken sullen, it will recite (at least those words) in kind.
Voco is not artificial intelligence though. It doesn't know to start speaking with excitement and changed inflection when you are making a point, or you are surprised or something. There are several instances in the conversation where JA's inflection varies all over the place, but it always correlates to exactly the subject/point he is making
1 philosophocles 2016-12-15
This is the point that most people are missing. Voco is excellent at synthesis, but it can't match inflection, rhythm or pauses. People all tend to have very specific patterned speaking and voco isn't capable of reproducing those patterns.
1 The_Watterboy 2016-12-15
Exactly - the amount of work you would have to do simulate real enthusiastic speakers like julian assange and also have it sound clean and organic with a software like Voco would be staggering

I'm glad someone else gets it.
2 sheasie 2016-12-15
i disagree. there is no hard "proof" that James and/or John fuck and then murder toddlers. there is; however, there is a mountain of "evidence".
define identical, and how would you know ?
etc.
3 philosophocles 2016-12-15
His ums are identical, but so are all his ums in every interview he has ever done.

FindingAssange is just a project of a single kid. Its not CIA, its just a troll. Initially the site was supposed to be dedicated to a forum to help find Assange, it was announced as such. Then days ago all of a sudden its a countdown to insurance files release, and claimed to have cracked 2 of the files.
Just a troll, just a silly kid with free time and little actual content to fill their projects site.
2 philosophocles 2016-12-15
The problem with your theory is this:
Voco can do an amazing job at speech synthesis, however it can not synthesize rhythm.
His "um" in every interview he has ever done has always sounded exactly the same every time.
Interview from two years ago for reference.
2 soullessgeth 2016-12-15
he already said that the leaks were not russian...
you are a shill trying to spread if you ask me. it seemed legit
2 Pls_Send_Steam_Codes 2016-12-15
I'm not a bot (I promise!) and I made a few comments similar to the "Lots of excitement that he's alive now, super excited!" because... well... I am super excited. I'd still be happier if he came to the window so I knew he was in the embassy, but I'm not going to say he isn't alive anymore. We can't say every interview is voco recorded lol. They wouldn't have him doing these 4-5 interviews if they didn't have to. Especially with Hannity so he could say it wasn't the Russians. The fewer interviews, the harder it would be to find their fuck ups.

There's no delay between voices? Is he in the same studio reading a script?
0 corn_of_action 2016-12-15
His thoughts never overlap like normal speaking... each word is definite and separate
1 kamspy 2016-12-15
I thought it sounded auto-tuned in a couple spots.
1 DetroitStinks 2016-12-15
Bullshit, the interview is authentic
