That is staged and probably not even Assange. This is all memory holed at this point... but way back he used to regularly appear on the balcony at the Ecuadorian embassy. Then one day there were some wild 'internet rumors' of some form of midnight raid or tactical operation at the Ecuadorian embassy... and then he stopped appearing on the balcony... but about 24 hours after the 'alleged' raid was the first time wikileaks.com/files (now gone?? interesting) became accessible with no announcement dumping a huge number of files... that was when they really took him. Everything since, including this, has been body doubles and deepfakes.
