I think Wikileaks has pretty much telegraphed to the whole world that Julian Assange will be will be released very soon.

The questions is, is it going to be TODAY ( 4 January 2018!)

If it is, have a drink and pop corn ready! It will be a wild ride!
The US media is going to have a meltdown!
Hell is gonna FREEZE OVER( well, never mind. In the US east coast, it already has!)

Even thought "cryptic" , it is clear from Wikileaks last few communiqués about the impending release:

1. Directly from Wikileaks, it was the M.I.A. song, Paper Plane, which to me implies flown out of the Ecuadorian Embassy asylum, and
2. from Wikileaks Twitter page itself, TODAY will be the date for some YUUUGE announcement. Here are some still images from their video:

Welcome to 2018 folks!

The wild ride has just begun!
