In August, Julian Assange revealed that he was in fear for his life but that he had an insurance policy that would be activated in case of his death. The plan was to make sure that the information would get out in case he was unable to do it himself. He felt that this would provide him with insurance and he sent encrypted files to everyone. A second one would be sent out to unlock those files. Here are the Deadman’s Keys released by WikiLeaks:

When WikiLeaks released a mysterious file labeled “WIKILEAKS INSURANCE” for people everywhere to download in advance of a huge upcoming announcement,everyone was having a second thought of what this file actually contain. This file serves as a type of “deadman’s switch” that is currently encrypted. WikiLeaks will release a second encryption key to unlock the file if they are prevented from making a planned announcement. Because of previous statements made by WikiLeaks and Julian Assange, many people are wondering if this insurance file is meant to ensure that WikiLeaks can release potentially damaging information about Hillary Clinton. Well, Assange give a response to that question in an interview with John Pilger an Australian journalist based in the United Kingdom and his answer won’t surprise many!
Assange apparently dumped A LOT of Wikileaks at once making people think his “dead man trigger” had been activated.
