What is in the insurance files of WikiLeaks? (A free-ride conspiracy.)
On 29 July 2010 WikiLeaks added a 1.4 GB "Insurance file" to the Afghan War Diary page. The file is AES encrypted and has a SHA1 checksum of cce54d3a8af370213d23fcbfe8cddc8619a0734c. There has been speculation that it was intended to serve as insurance in case the WikiLeaks website or its spokesman Julian Assange are incapacitated, upon which the passphrase could be published. After the first few days' release of the US diplomatic cables starting 28 November 2010, the US television broadcasting company CBS predicted that "If anything happens to Assange or the website, a key will go out to unlock the files. There would then be no way to stop the information from spreading like wildfire because so many people already have copies." CBS correspondent Declan McCullagh stated, "What most folks are speculating is that the insurance file contains unreleased information that would be especially embarrassing to the US government if it were released."
On 22 February 2012, there was another insurance file release, this time 65 GB in size. The insurance files are not to be confused with another encrypted file containing diplomatic cables, the password of which has been compromised. The insurance files' passwords have not been compromised and their contents are still unknown.
On 17 August 2013, WikiLeaks released another three insurance files, this time 3.6 GB, 49 GB and 349 GB in size. Like previous insurance files, the contents of these three insurance files are still unknown.

Any idea what is in those files?
Looking for your ideas (humorous ideas allowed).
Looking for true truthers, CTers, ...
Enjoy a free-ride conspiracy :)
