Some quick points you should know about the current status of #WLDragnet
* Our most significant, far-reaching evidence & conclusions are not yet in the piece but will be soon
* We worked day & night on this release to try & prepare it ASAP, but the scope of it is enormous
1/
* Remaining to come: comprehensive testimonies of affected WL supporters, data analysis related to that & trail of evidence that leads far beyond NodeXL or Graphika & straight to US military agencies targeting Julian
* The implications/impact is global & not limited to WL
2/
* Also still to go into the piece, a significant number of official statements and reactions by high profile persons named in #WLDragnet that we collected over the course of the last few days
* A deeper dive into the targeting of each of those people will occur in follow-ups
3/
* Once the piece is finished to our satisfaction we will begin to heavily promote it. We will then be reporting on this archive for weeks to come.
* In the meantime we remind everyone that today in just a few hours Julian will face a US appeal in London. He needs support
4/
* In the words of a targeted WL supporter we interviewed who's named in #WLDragnet (not yet included in our piece, but will be very soon):
“We do what we do but Julian’s taken the brunt of it. What we've faced is nothing compared to the torture he’s faced” @GordonDimmack
6/
I'd like to acknowledge the colossal work of @seanodiggity, @MeanPanduh & others who've gone above & beyond, barely sleeping for days, for a week or more while working on this
We won't stop til the job is done, the best is yet to come, but today & tomorrow belong to Julian
7/
It took two months to uncover all that we have, and may take another two months to fully report on the documents we are in possession of
In the interim, the best journalist of our generation rots in a supermax prison for the crime of telling the truth & that's unacceptable
8/
So we'll keep tapping away in honour of J, fully reporting on #WLDragnet to the best of our ability & keeping you updated on the progress, while simultaneously amplifying & supporting Julian's righteous bid for freedom
Part 2: Social Media Mass Surveillance COMING SOON!
Key Pt 1 findings in the below thread
How vast is the US-led intelligence operation targeting WikiLeaks? To whom was ex-CIA Director Mike Pompeo referring when he coined the phrase ‘Assange and his ilk’?
These are the initial questions addressed in this groundbreaking series from @tl_eng by myself & @seanodiggity
The #WLDragnet investigation is based on multi-source primary documents, including from US defense contractors, government agencies & House Intelligence Committee testimony. None of the documents were obtained from hacking or leaking. We have published a repository of the files
We kicked off the public delivery by recapping our key development milestones to date
This month we achieved another ENORMOUS development milestone: nodes can now send, receive & most importantly verify encrypted messages on our platform. This is a huge leap forward for PQ!

Thanks in part to funding injected into PQ by @tl_eng subscriptions we're proud to now be at 85% complete on Phase 2 funding. Only 15% to go til we burst into the final phase!! Help us get there ASAP by donating at panquake.com/donate or subscribe: talkliberation.com
As a foundation customer & a business owner I need to know when your IT department is going to UNBLOCK your international customers like me from accessing our own accounts & our funds
You haven't tweeted in days & I still can't access my accounts a WEEK later
That means:
1. I can't access account balances 2. I can't transfer money between accounts 3. I can't pay staff 4. I can't make international money transfers
And I have ZERO word from you on when this will be fixed. Not good enough.
@KiwibankNZ persistently claim to customers that service is "intermittent". This is demonstrably false. Service is down 24/7. Their own website (per screenshot at the top of this thread) proves it's because KiwiBank IT staff have configured CloudFlare to block international TLD's
Full thread below detailing all the news, updates, progress & more of our incredible next generation social media development project!
Follow along with me and please share to help spread the news that it's out :) Video link at end of thread
Thanks to the generous support of our community, Panquake now employs 9 full time staff! We've regained all the ground we lost from PayPal censoring us & withholding our funds, & we've raised another $4,551 on top of that, picking up 127 new donors & 113 new @pan_quake followers
We've had another HUGE month of development progress, designing the 8 microservices which will compartmentalise (& make easily extensible for scaleability) the delivery of various types of Panquake data to our users. This is best practice & discussed in much greater detail in vid
We didn't hire a PR team or ad agency. PQ started w/ just volunteers then slowly hired devs, designers & other staff over time as our crowdfunding grew
We're ppl-powered & not corporate-powered which makes us responsive. So ask me anything, I'll respond!
The short answer to what Panquake does, is it's a short messaging system.
Gives you a few more characters than Twitter, but doesn't allow paid advertising, moderation is visible to the whole network, content is published on blockchain so you can prove it hasn't been messed with
We also designed 4 new pieces of functionality that don't exist on any other platform. These new technologies dramatically increase social reach
On Panquake your messages will go far further than on existing social media, be seen by more people. There's more user interaction too
Below you will find all the awesome details (and tons of eye candy) about our July Public Delivery Meeting tonight - and at the bottom of the thread, you'll find the event video link so you can check it out for yourself!!
July is our 6th public delivery event since we brought the idea of Panquake to the world back on Jan 17th of this year. We've never missed a monthly delivery (and never will!)
I guarantee you will be WOWED by the progress we've achieved since then as you follow this thread.

As always we kicked off the event by reviewing our key campaign statistics. (Patience grasshoppers the cool BETA announcements come next!) PayPal withholding 6-7 weeks of donor money & us refunding it all screwed up our stats temporarily but we're recovering nicely despite it
