People want examples of work the Intelligence Branch conducts, specifically how it protects itself. Here is an example before going further tomorrow.
Mark Steyn and Glenn Greenwald discuss the surveillance state weaponized by Barack Obama, and why Julian Assange had to be taken down.
Yes, the history of the U.S. national security apparatus goes back decades; however, the weaponization of that apparatus, the creation of an apex branch of government, the Intelligence Branch, originated under President Barack Obama.
Obama took the foundational tools created by Bill Clinton and George Bush and used the intelligence system architecture to create a weapon for use in his fundamental transformation. An alliance of ideologues within government (intel community) and the private sector (big tech and finance) was assembled, and the largest government weapon was created. Think about this every time you take your shoes off at an airport.
After the weapon was assembled and tested (Arab Spring), the legislative branch was enjoined under the auspices of a common enemy, Donald J Trump, an outsider who was a risk to every entity in the institutional construct of Washington DC.
Trillions were at stake, and years of affluence and influence were at risk as the unholy alliance was put together. Again, Steyn and Greenwald discuss the result, but overlook the critical cornerstone that Obama set. WATCH:
To understand the risk that Julian Assange represented to U.S. Intelligence Branch interests, it is important to understand just how extensive the operations of the FBI/CIA were in 2016.
It is within the network of foreign and domestic intel operations where Intelligence Branch political tool, FBI Agent Peter Strzok, was working as a bridge between the CIA and FBI counterintelligence operations.
By now, people are familiar with the construct of CIA operations involving Joseph Mifsud, the Maltese professor generally identified as a western intelligence operative who was tasked by the FBI/CIA to run an operation against Trump campaign official George Papadopoulos in both Italy (Rome) and London. {Go Deep}
In a similar fashion the FBI tasked U.S. intelligence asset Stefan Halper to target another Trump campaign official, Carter Page. Under the auspices of being a Cambridge Professor Stefan Halper also targeted General Michael Flynn. Additionally, using assistance from a female FBI agent under the false name Azra Turk, Halper also targeted Papadopoulos.
The initial operations to target Flynn, Papadopoulos and Page were all based overseas. This seemingly makes the CIA exploitation of the assets and the targets much easier.
HPSCI Ranking Member Devin Nunes outlined how very specific exculpatory evidence was known to the FBI and yet withheld from the FISA application used against Carter Page that also mentions George Papadopoulos. The FBI also fabricated information in the FISA.
However, there is an aspect to the domestic U.S. operation that also bears the fingerprints of the international intelligence apparatus; only this time due to the restrictive laws on targets inside the U.S. the CIA aspect is less prominent. This is where FBI Agent Peter Strzok working for both agencies was important.
Remember, it’s clear in the text messages Strzok had a working relationship with what he called their “sister agency”, the CIA. Additionally, former CIA Director John Brennan has admitted Strzok helped write the January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) which outlines the Russia narrative; and Peter Strzok wrote the July 31st, 2016, “Electronic Communication” that originated FBI operation “Crossfire Hurricane.” Strzok immediately used that EC to travel to London to debrief allied intelligence officials connected to the Australian Ambassador to the U.K, Alexander Downer.
In short, Peter Strzok acted as a bridge between the CIA and the FBI. The perfect type of FBI career agent for the Intelligence Branch and CIA Director John Brennan to utilize.
Fusion-GPS founder Glenn Simpson hired CIA Open Source analyst Nellie Ohr toward the end of 2015; at appropriately the same time as “FBI Contractors” were identified exploiting the NSA database and extracting information on a specific set of U.S. persons, the 2015 GOP candidates for President.
It was also Fusion-GPS founder Glenn Simpson who was domestically tasked with a Russian lobbyist named Natalia Veselnitskaya. A little reported Russian Deputy Attorney General named Saak Albertovich Karapetyan was working double-agents for the CIA and Kremlin. Karapetyan was directing the foreign operations of Natalia Veselnitskaya, and Glenn Simpson was organizing her inside the U.S.
Glenn Simpson managed Veselnitskaya through the 2016 Trump Tower meeting with Donald Trump Jr. However, once the CIA/Fusion-GPS operation using Veselnitskaya started to unravel with public reporting… back in Russia Deputy AG Karapetyan died in a helicopter crash.
Simultaneously timed in late 2015 through mid 2016, there was a domestic FBI operation using a young Russian named Maria Butina tasked to run up against republican presidential candidates. According to Patrick Byrne, Butina’s private sector handler [NOTE: remember, the public-private sector partnership], it was FBI agent Peter Strzok who was giving Patrick Byrne the instructions on where to send Butina. {Go Deep}
All of this context outlines the extent to which the FBI/CIA was openly involved in constructing a political operation that eventually settled upon anyone in candidate Donald Trump’s orbit. The international operations of the Intelligence Branch were directed by the FBI/CIA; and the domestic operations were coordinated by Peter Strzok operating with a foot in both agencies. [Strzok gets CIA service coin]
Recap: ♦Mifsud tasked against Papadopoulos (CIA). ♦Halper tasked against Flynn (CIA), Page (CIA), and Papadopoulos (CIA). ♦Azra Turk, pretending to be Halper asst, tasked against Papadopoulos (FBI). ♦Veselnitskaya tasked against Donald Trump Jr (CIA, Fusion-GPS). ♦Butina tasked against Donald Trump Jr (FBI). All of these activities were coordinated.
Additionally, Christopher Steele was a British intelligence officer, hired by Fusion-GPS to assemble and launder fraudulent intelligence information within his dossier. And we cannot forget Oleg Deripaska, a Russian oligarch, who was recruited by Asst. FBI Director Andrew McCabe to participate in running an operation against the Trump campaign and create the impression of Russian involvement. However, Deripaska refused to participate.
All of this foreign and domestic engagement was directly controlled by collaborating U.S. intelligence agencies from inside the Intelligence Branch. And all of this coordinated activity was intended to give a specific Russia influence/interference impression.
♦ The key point of all that background context is to see how committed the Intelligence Branch was to the constructed narrative of Russia interfering with the 2016 election. The CIA, FBI, and by extension the DOJ and DOJ-NSD, put a hell of a lot of work into it.
We also know that John Durham looked at the construct of the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA); and talked to CIA analysts who participated in the construct of the January 2017 report that bolstered the false appearance of Russian interference in the 2016 election. This is important because it ties in to the next part that involves Julian Assange and Wikileaks.
On April 11th, 2019, the Julian Assange indictment was unsealed in the EDVA. From the indictment we discover it was under seal since March 6th, 2018:
On Tuesday April 15th more investigative material was released. Again, note the dates: Grand Jury, *December of 2017* This means FBI investigation prior to….
The FBI investigation took place prior to December 2017, it was coordinated through the Eastern District of Virginia (EDVA) where Dana Boente was U.S. Attorney at the time. The grand jury indictment was sealed from March of 2018 until after Mueller completed his investigation, April 2019.
Why the delay?
What was the DOJ waiting for?
Here’s where it gets interesting….
The FBI submission to the Grand Jury in December of 2017 was four months after congressman Dana Rohrabacher talked to Julian Assange in August of 2017: “Assange told a U.S. congressman … he can prove the leaked Democratic Party documents … did not come from Russia.”
(August 2017, The Hill Via John Solomon) Julian Assange told a U.S. congressman on Tuesday he can prove the leaked Democratic Party documents he published during last year’s election did not come from Russia and promised additional helpful information about the leaks in the near future.
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, a California Republican who is friendly to Russia and chairs an important House subcommittee on Eurasia policy, became the first American congressman to meet with Assange during a three-hour private gathering at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where the WikiLeaks founder has been holed up for years.
Rohrabacher recounted his conversation with Assange to The Hill.
“Our three-hour meeting covered a wide array of issues, including the WikiLeaks exposure of the DNC [Democratic National Committee] emails during last year’s presidential election,” Rohrabacher said, “Julian emphatically stated that the Russians were not involved in the hacking or disclosure of those emails.”
Pressed for more detail on the source of the documents, Rohrabacher said he had information to share privately with President Trump. (read more)
Knowing how much effort the Intelligence Branch put into the false Russia collusion-conspiracy narrative, it would make sense for the FBI to take keen interest after this August 2017 meeting between Rohrabacher and Assange, monitor all activity, and why the FBI would quickly gather specific evidence (related to Wikileaks and Bradley Manning) for a grand jury by December 2017.
Within three months of the EDVA grand jury the DOJ generated an indictment and sealed it in March 2018.
The DOJ sat on the indictment while the Mueller/Weissmann probe was ongoing.
As soon as the Mueller/Weissmann probe ended, on April 11th, 2019, a planned and coordinated effort between the U.K. and U.S. was executed; Julian Assange was forcibly arrested and removed from the Ecuadorian embassy in London, and the EDVA indictment was unsealed (link).
As a person who has researched this fiasco; including the ridiculously false 2016 Russian hacking/interference narrative: “17 intelligence agencies”, Joint Analysis Report (JAR) needed for Obama’s anti-Russia narrative in December ’16; and then a month later the ridiculously political Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) in January ’17; this timing against Assange is too coincidental.
It doesn’t take a deep researcher to see the aligned Deep State motive to control Julian Assange. The Weissmann/Mueller report was dependent on Russia cybercrimes for justification, and that narrative was contingent on the Russia DNC hack story which Julian Assange disputes.
♦ This is critical. The Weissmann/Mueller report contains claims that Russia hacked the DNC servers as the central element to the Russia interference narrative in the U.S. election. This claim is directly disputed by WikiLeaks and Julian Assange, as outlined during the Dana Rohrabacher interview, and by Julian Assange on-the-record statements.
The predicate for Robert Mueller’s investigation was specifically due to Russian interference in the 2016 election.
The fulcrum for this Russia interference claim is the intelligence community assessment; and the only factual evidence claimed within the ICA is that Russia hacked the DNC servers; a claim only made possible by relying on forensic computer analysis from Crowdstrike, a DNC and FBI contractor.
The CIA holds a self-interest in upholding the Russian hacking claim; the FBI holds an interest in maintaining that claim; the U.S. media hold an interest in maintaining that claim. All of the foreign countries whose intelligence apparatus participated with Brennan and Strzok also have a self-interest in maintaining that Russia hacking and interference narrative.
Julian Assange is the only person with direct knowledge of how Wikileaks gained custody of the DNC emails; and Assange has claimed he has evidence it was not from a hack.
This “Russian hacking” claim was ultimately important to the CIA, FBI, DOJ, ODNI and U.K intelligence apparatus, it forms the corner of their justification. With that level of importance, well, right there is the obvious motive to shut Julian Assange down as soon as intelligence officials knew the Weissmann/Mueller report was going to be public.
…. and that’s exactly what they did.

Yes!
Primary Fed witness against Assange recants….it was all lies. Is the Fed case against Assange falling apart?
and
Assange’s mistake was his insistence on keeping the source of the leaks secret. I get it but getting it out there would have protected him to a degree and made the corrupt ICand DOJ forced to confront the exposure. This one required a wrecking ball not kid gloves.
I think Assange was using silence as a level to get a pardon. But at the end Mitch McTraiter threatened Trump into not pardoning him, and th question is was that to save the swamp, or his own butt, because I believe mitch’s wife was the contact between the CCP and the swamp
Assange could have saved everyone a lot of trouble by revealing his source.
Dragons breath must be exposed. No one understands that a person’s actions are not always their own.

You know the name.
And keep in mind that John Durham has known about all of this for years.
Crickets.
There is no justice in America.
Durham covered for CIA torture, and he only got some patsies out of Boston field office after two of the framed suspects were dead.
Durham is another “protect the institution” clown. He and cretins like Wray are manipulated into believing a now thoroughly politicized and corrupt FIB and DOJ sre worth protecting for the “noble” work they do despite some “hanky panky”. Abd of course the much vaunted “rank and file” don’t deserve to be dragged through a purge of the department they’re heroes you understand it’s just their bosses that may need a slap on the wrist.
Add Barr to that list….
The only way to neuter the 4th BOG is to take away its funding.Either that or unCivil War which will unleash worse problems. Defunding will require President Trump in office of course.But it will also require the Repubs retaking the House and Senate and purging both Dung Zhou Mitch and Salon Boy McCarthy along with others. And we cant even get to that until 11-3-2020 is adressed and corrected. Might as well book a Tee Time on the dark side of the moon for all it matters. So uncivil war it is?
I agree. Take away their funding. Terminate the departments and jobs. Demolish the buildings. Turn all records over to U.S. Marshals.
I have read that the CIA can fund itself.
Unless George Floyd spends it all.
Its like sundance said you wont change anything at the federal level in DC. The accounting starts at the state level by squeezing the ICs political allies out of DC. This starts at the local level with voting reforms and pushback from governors. For instance Desantis should tell Pelosi Florida will not be allowing Capitol Police to set up am office in the Tampa area for anywhere else. Staye and local law enforcement can provide anything that is lawfully required.
squeezing the ICs political allies out of DC.
.
Works on Uniparty Republicans too. Will counteract much of McConnells scheming.
100% agreed.
Certain powerful components of the IC do not receive funding by conventional or transparent means.
Also, the ability to effectively move funding, is obviously a cornerstone of CS Tradecraft.
Financial disempowerment is very effective, done right.
Defunding becomes much more achievable with enough transparency/ sunlight.
More than anything evildoers hiding in the IC fear sunlight.
I wonder how much the fallout is going to impact Five Eyes?
Hopefully in the negative sense since the governments of those eyes were all hostile to Trump and fully willing to go along with the whole scam.
The question I have; What “will, can and is being done” about it?
If the answer is, “Nothing” then may as well end the bullsh*t. If the answer is “Something” then what is it?
A deal with the UK/Assange Legal Team/USA/Australia is in the works. Assange stays mute, is allowed to go free to Australia and the US IC keeps a lid on the whole DNC emails scandal corruption.
Word is that Assange pleads guilty, no trial/depositions/courtroom cameras and receives a light sentence which he will serve out in an Australian “jail”. Within months the sentence is commutted and Assange is free as long as he zips his mouth?
Assange will never be truly free until all the corrupt agents in all the agencies are gone. That’s a lot of corruption to neutralize.
As stayed before, I hope he has a “doomsday trigger” that will publish everything in multiple places on the internet in the event of his premature, unexpected demise before he is able to expose the various criminal officials and agents described throughout this article.
Scum. Pure scum.
“It doesn’t take a deep researcher to see the aligned Deep State motive to control Julian Assange.”
Amen Bother Sundance.
Thank you
Honest question:
Why hasn’t Assange revealed the proof that Russia was not involved with the DNC hack? I don’t see any motive for him to keep this knowledge to himself all these years – his secret is the reason he is a liability.
Once this secret is revealed, the motive of the Deep State to shut him up is removed. They may still go after him just as revenge, but how is that any worse than what they’ve done to him thus far…?
Great question. And let’s not forget. Assange knows who that individual is/was. He knows the source of the DNC email hack.
Is Assange holding onto that info as a bargaining chip in order to keep from being “Epsteined”? TPTB have to know there is probably a dead man’s switch and they do NOT want that flipped…but John McAfee supposedly had one of those as well and it doesn’t look like anything has happened since his “suicide” although it’s still early and there may be info trickling out. Let’s hope so!
Seth Rich?
“Why hasn’t Assange revealed the proof . . .” – that’s the hole he dug for himself in framing his WikiLeaks agenda, promising to never, ever, ever, reveal his sources, regardless of the circumstances or pressure put upon him.
To do so now effectively ends any future ability to assure those who wish to submit things to him that their identity will be protected.
Catch 22, danged if he does, danged if he doesn’t. The Federal agencies are counting on him sticking to his promise as it means they can continue to play their game of accusing him of all sorts of crimes because to defend himself means he would have to break the founding promise and destroy WikiLeaks forever. And once he breaks that assurance then the Federal agencies can identify the leakers and their sources.
Once you break one promise… ?
Break the fcking promise, and change the time of mankind forever
This; especially if Assange releases the information to save his own ass.
What Assange needs is the person that leaked the information to him to step forward. If that happens to have been Seth Rich, Assange is stuck right where he is.
Assange has no way out of this.
It’s all faking what he has to stay alive. Bluff
Just interview Ruby
Just interview Seth’s brother
Just interview scalises doctor
Agree. Bessie.
Also, it will have maximum leverage if/when he is before a US magistrate in an open court with his legal team facing formal trial and constitutional protections. Release of the information earlier could work against his defense.
I disagree. Assange loses no street cred if he reveals his source of the dnc leak. His detractors will always have a reason to hate him. A lot of people will respect him more, especially around here, if he proves it wasn’t the Russians. He has spent enough time confined to prove his credibility.
My guess is that after the events of the Bradley Manning saga, Assange insulated himself from knowing the sources. Also, he was under every form of surveillance imaginable. It seems like the simplest explanation is Assange doesn’t know who leaked. If he could prove it wasn’t the Russians, that should have been worth a pardon from Trump. If he could prove it was the Russians, that would be worth something to the democrats. It seems he has no leverage.
Because Assange himself is an intelligence asset. He’ll be cut loose, called a liar and killed.
He is already that.
The play described in this article was a conspiracy to capture and end him.
Over. It’s over. Knowing what they did the get him should be the focus.
We no longer hope and sit.
My thought as well, for a long time now.
Another thought involves a presidential pardon he was not given.
I trust Trump, and I wonder he did not pardon Assange.
More will be revealed, some time.
I also wonder why Trump never talked to him. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher met with Assange and supposedly took a message back to Trump that Assange had information for his ears only…
Mitch threatened Trump, if he did that, Mitch would have supported impeachment.
Perhaps the safety of his two sons? And fiancee?
and / or
Assange has back-up that goes public upon his death; and the bad guys don’t know where it is ?
Answer to your first question: because Assange would like to reach an old age naturally.
Assange is irrelevant. End date reliability by tainting it. iPhone filter app for faces, but for autosent messages ( fake)))).
Maybe Seth Rich had an accomplice who does NOT want his name dragged through this. Assange promised to protect his sources, so maybe he is protecting the other leaker.
Also, maybe he views that as his hole card, not to be given up except for the right deal.
There are so many pieces to this puzzle that connect to the CIA/NSA/FBI.
It is interesting that there was an FBI dump of documents concerning the death of Seth Rich the other day. Some think Rich hacked the DNC and gave the documents to Assange who published them.
I wonder if it is connected to everything happening with the audit of the AZ election and their involvement of Dominion/CIA voting machines? Is that a bridge too far? What about deliberate massive voter fraud?
Are they trying to unload this case because they can no longer hide their involvement with DNC politics?
If Assange got the documents from Seth Rich and Rich’s death becomes a definite political hit….if Durham comes out swinging, what could happen?
And Debbie Blabbermouthshits offered a deal to the Awan family to take care of Seth Rich in exchange for letting them get out of the country to avoid the congressional IT scam and password theft. Unfortunately, “take care of” to this family was understood as end him. so they did, and hightailed out of here. Have you noticed Debbie has been so very quiet since that incident. She is smart enough to know when to shut up.
Psssst. Capital police
Did they ever discover who killed the lawyer that was researching voter fraud in her district? Amazing how she continues to keep her job in Florida of all places.
Durham is going to swing as hard as that meat puppet Bill Barr did. Forget it. Seth Rich paid the ultimate price, Epstein is gone same as 31 TB D-man switch McAfee – to be quite blunt Assange aint doin’ shit. It’s black swan event time or we are in for many years of pain.
It has been disappointing so far, but I sometimes feel these spooks are really incompetent and careless. Once we see what they are doing they cannot maintain the illusion.
What Durham? Who is this “Durham” people refer to? Last Durham I knew was tied to a chair deep in the bowels of the DOJ, never to be heard from again.
THAT Durham is long gone…and was never a factor anyway.
Like I commented Durham is as effective as meat puppet Barr.
Whatever their reason, it’s an almost certain bet the reason isn’t to admit any truths about Seth or the DNC server “hack”.
Ty Durham. You helped us see there is no hope in your system. You are all fake. We no longer put hope in you.

When the people can no longer get justice and the injustice system has been subverted for the explicit purpose of fundamentally transforming the Nation to enslave them, what is their recourse?
Glenn Greenwood is one of the VERY few honest journalists in the current media landscape. He actually believes in truth and justice.
Great pieces on the fourth branch and connecting all the dots. Thank you Sundance for a fascinating read.

What do you get when you cross Peter Strok, with Lisa Page and Seth Rich?
A smoking gun email.
PS. Sundance is a genius.
Strzok’s mail re Seth Rich from August 10 2016.
What happened that date or the day before?
On August 9th 2016:
Julian Assange gave an interview with the Dutch current affairs television program Niewsuur. It touched on the topic of risks faced by WikiLeaks’ sources. Unbidden, Assange brought up the case of Seth Rich. When asked directly whether Rich was a source, Assange said “we don’t comment on who our sources are”.
Then he became a charity fund raiser? Seems like he was saying something
Greenwald hits on something that the right used to trust the military security state because of the Cold War threat of communism. He overlooks the 800 pound gorilla in the room — China. They’re run by the CCP, but as long as corporate America, the media, Academia and Hollywood are getting paid along with Congress, communism is not only no longer a threat, but it’s effin awesome! Happy 100th birthday Communist China! The left was only ever interested in power, and now they have it.
Defund to start. At a minimum, cut their budgets with the end goal of total elimination. No budget, no agency.
Structurally, repeal all the laws that enabled domestic spying to be possible. Abolish the agencies outright and fire all their employees. Go through the process of releasing everything these bastards have ever collected. The gain to American citizens will be 1000 fold more valuable than any gain to Russia/China.
To the extent that foreign intelligence is truly needed, any government bureau set up for this purpose MUST be staffed by non government employees who are temporary with time limited service not exceeding 10 years so careers can’t be built and “networks” not formed.
Employees MUST be representative of the political demographics of the US so a monolithic ideology can’t be formed which then allows the agency to be weaponized in favor of one political party.
It would be really useful to have a genuine opposition party which could unilaterally renounce faith and trust in these agencies and declare them threats to American liberty. That would make all current/future pronouncements from these agencies a political statement representing only one party.
Wow!
“…the U.S. media hold an interest in maintaining that claim.” To me this is so critical to the recovery of this nation, our 1st Amendment. The MSM is the enemy of this nation and must be destroyed and rebuilt. Section 230 set aside for internet companies shredded and burnt. And just like Ma Bell the companies broken up.
None of this would be possible without the MSM aka swamp scribes and Big Tech.

Here’s a great example of our/America’s enemy. More proof of the con rolls out daily.
Keep on analyzing and writing, Sundance.
You’re showing a clear line of reasoning to connect an extensive and chronological series of events, the people involved, and their obvious motivations that no one else (that I’m aware of) has taken the time to study and see in such a comprehensive perspective.
And we’re all the wiser as a result.
Wish there were a way to insure that all 9 SCOTUS members read all of Sundance’s posts and links about this.
Seems Mr. Chief Justice Roberts is presiding over the totalitarian revocation of the American way of life and a shredding of the Constitution.
I suspect he’s not worried about that, though, because when the takeover is complete, the victors will write history and his name will not be mentioned at all. SCOTUS, which will cease to exist, will not be mentioned at all.
It will be as if he and the others never existed.
What I don’t understand about Assange, is why he didn’t have that information triggered to be released immediately in the event he was apprehended.
Because WikiLeaks is based on never revealing their sources. If Assange has the information released to save his own ass, that breaks the trust and WikiLeaks fades away.
So he’s just going to die in prison to protect sources?
He just might. I doubt CIA/MI6 want to martyr him though.
The other possibility is that he really doesn’t know the identity of who sent him the material and now he’s painted himself into a corner.
on seth rich’s laptop there was an e-mail that requested payment form wiki-leaks
He is gone.

Exactly whose trust will be broken? If he reveals the source, are you going to be disappointed with him for breaking the sacred trust of leakers? What would he accomplish by spending the rest of his life in jail? Maybe someone at Wikileaks will leak the source. Assange peddles in secrets and betrayal. He does business with shady people. His doesn’t owe them his life behind bars.
I wonder if the release gets triggered if he loses the case in London and gets extricated to the USA.
Do you know what dragons breath Columbia is?
Why do we ask questions? Cause it’s not leaking classified info.
Good read. Rohrabacher, 15 term incumbent, just happened to lose his election after polls had him up by 15 points, losing to mail-in ballots that, “might take days, even weeks to count”. Newsom and Harris were campaigning for his opponent, smearing Rohrabacher as “Putin’s puppet”.
He says the only person he talked to about the meeting with Assange in the Trump administration was Gen. Kelly.
The Russia Hoaxers are still going after him, attempting to align him with provocateurs at the Capitol Hoax.

Yes, but doesn’t all this obfuscation show that the IC isn’t in complete control ‘yet’?
For example I’m sure Stalin, Hitler and Mao didn’t need any paperwork to take out their perceived threats?
Everything Hitler did was embroidered with paperwork according to law. This is the type of law about which King John spoke to the barons, pre-Magna Carta.“The law is in my mouth.”
E.g., 1936 Yale Law review:
“Dictatorial government facilitates the legislative process in that the legislative will of the state encounters no obstacle arising from the parliamentary deliberation and compromise involved in parties and in the free functioning of public opinion. By this we do not mean that group interests are excluded. On the contrary, while the chamber is abolished, the ante-chamber flourishes. Fundamentally, however, the legislative process is immensely simplified and its machinery operates rapidly and without friction. The law is the political command of the ‘Fuehrer.’”
Technically, every horror committed under the Third Reich was legal because it was validated by Germany’s Supreme Leader.
Be not deceived, God is the source of law and man is its object.
To let go of this premise is to bind oneself to tyranny.
We are not there yet because the IC has not been consolidated under one head. Peter Strzok, and others like him, are working diligently to correct that oversight.

Sundance I am very interested to hear your perspective on why you think President Trump chose not to pardon Julian Assange? He must have known that Assange is in a position to discredit the entire Russia hoax. I have been so bothered and disappointed that he didn’t pardon Assange. Please shed some light on this
your key words, ‘in a position’. assange should have taken the leap. trump would have pardoned him.

McConnell, is your answer
Did President Trump have the evidence that the witness for the prosecutor was a complete fabricated lie?
The pictures tell the whole story. Every one of these characters is at least a Communist sympathizer if they are not already a member of a Communist Apparatchik. A reading of “Witness” by Whittaker Chambers can explain how the Communist Apparatchiks operate. We are in the middle of a great battle for our Republic and our enemy is Communism.
To find out the real status of Barack Obama, a little research on the gang of student acolytes surrounding Louis Farrakhan in a photo in a major article produced by Newsweek Magazine in the 1980’s. I believe the man currently named Barack Obama was one of them. Farrakhan had organized his Nation of Islam school and Newsweek wanted to present it to the world as a stand up school of religious training for up and coming young black men to be tomorrow’s leaders. Obama is yet to admit his association with Farrakhan and others who are also in league with the Communists.

“As soon as the Mueller/Weissmann probe ended, on April 11th, 2019, a planned and coordinated effort between the U.K. and U.S. was executed; Julian Assange was forcibly arrested and removed from the Ecuadorian embassy in London, and the EDVA indictment was unsealed.”
So was Steele sent to the US by the UK for the same reason Germany sent Lenin to Russia?
Disgusting; do you feel more safe now?

Hidden Over 2 Years: Dem Cyber-Firm’s Sworn Testimony It Had No Proof of Russian Hack of DNC
https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2020/05/13/hidden_over_2_years_dem_cyber-firms_sworn_testimony_it_had_no_proof_of_russian_hack_of_dnc_123596.html
This is what never made any sense to me. Why is there an attempt to extradite him to the USA? He is not a citizen of this country. Even if he were, Russia “hacked” the DNC servers. If being in possession of emails that someone else hacked was a crime, then lock up Chris Cuomo also.
But there is no evidence that the emails were hacked, which means there is no evidence that a computer intrusion crime was even committed. In fact, the only crimes of which there is evidence for in this matter are the crimes committed by our own DOJ. Again.
The CIA/FBI probably used the passcode that Manning had to hack the DNC emails(with or without the help of DNC, I think the DNC was in on it.) Obama pardoned Manning for her help in the fraud. Assange knows how it was done and the US will surely “suicide” him when they get him on US soil.
Or logged on as Assange1 and messaged with Manning, and used that like to obtain access to Ecuador to ‘ dragons breath Columbia zombie robot’
One item that I don’t here much talk about in regards to Assange.. IIRC Mike Pence spent a lot of time in Ecuador around the time Assange was dragged from their Embassy in the UK.. Odd No?
Step 1). Manafort Plant to aid Mueller.
Step 2) Carter Page plant to aid Mueller.
Jan 6 investigation is no diff, they spied on us from Nov to Jan to see if we caught them. Jan 6 investigation is just to laundering the legality of their previous illegal spying
They are not creative. Same play same play.
Crowdstrike president shawn henry testified that they did not have evidence of russia hacking the dnc… nor did they have evidence of information leaving through internet connection. Only that some information had been positioned to be exfiltrated….
Under oath testimony to house select committe on intelligence 12/5/2017……

The “evidence” for their claim was circumstantial and later revoked when it was revealed that they had taken the false claims of a blogger – a Russian blogger – verbatim.
At the time a large part of their funding and a third of their board members came from Warburg Pincus, which was Timothy Geithner company. Geithner was Clinton’s under-secretary of Treasury, and Obama’s secretary of Treasury.
I don’t know if this has been addressed before and I may be slow and late to the party, but when I read this it just occurred to me, is it possible that this statement by Rohrabacher, no matter how unintentional, may have led, at least in part, to the FBI moving against Assange?
The first paragraph is a quote from the post. formatting didn’t work.
Awan handed to capital police to secure leverage. Rogue police handed over.
Either moving against Assange or moving faster against him.
Never forget what Maxine Waters slipped up admitting back in 2013 about Obama’s database:
The problem I see with Greenwald is he continues to see things as Dem vs Republican. I wish he could just remove himself from his political affiliation. If he did that, he would be able to see the bigger picture. Still thinking small. Tucker does the same thing, only his issue is Trump. Everything is Trump’s fault. Very small thinking.
YES times a thousand!
I agree. When the bias is expressed, the credibility of their other statements becomes suspect and discountable.
EVERY career politician and bureaucrat will ALWAYS act to protect the other members of their ‘club’. By protecting the rear ends of other members they protect their own and avoid having the ‘dogs’ turned against themselves. When all else fails they will fall back on the ‘justifications’ of “for the good of the country” or “in the national interests”.
If the feds get Assange to the U.S. he’ll end up just like Epstein. They can’t let him talk and have to silence him.
There doesn’t seem to be anyone who can stop this. Everyone in Congress is corrupt or afraid. The judges are all rigged — including everyone in SCOTUS except Thomas and Alito but 2 votes doesn’t get you anywhere as we have seen.
This was an excellent interview segment by Mark Steyn IMO, but sundance injected an important point:
“Steyn and Greenwald discussed the result, but overlooked the critical cornerstone that Obama set.” (paraphrased to fit the context)
Mark Steyn is not known for not having a good grasp on any issue or for excluding factual “cornerstones” on any political subject whether it was the Mohamed cartoon madness or any other hot button issue. So, I would like to know why he didn’t include Obama’s responsibilities in building the 4 branch of gov’t.
It could be that including the complex and detailed Obama culpability was not possible if the temporary FNC host’s (especially) are restricted to the time of each subject by producers. Assange’s incarceration and extradition problems and his father and brother’s opinions were the focus of the segment and a deep dive into the origins of the 4th Branch’s power was not possible. But a brief mention was possible.
Obama should be brought out of the shadows and fully exposed about his major efforts to empower the 4th branch.
Note–Glenn Greenwald did briefly mention “Obama’s war crimes” but didn’t elaborate for the same reasons. He was probably referring to some drone strikes–or not.
The whole Libya thing was basically a war crime.
I’m kind of surprised the CIA even cares about laws preventing them from operations in the US.
I get the laundering of info through 5 eyes shenanigans, but it’s not like they ever cared about breaking the law before.
Why bring in UK intelligence when they have the FBI, SSCI, FISC, and DOJ on their side already?
In the case of Trump it is to create the aura and legitimacy of “foreign interference and collusion”.

FBI Emails Just Implicated Clintons In Seth Rich Murder Plot
July 9, 2021
The Stasi FBI released thousands of pages of documents today on murdered DNC operative Seth Rich.
This was after they denied for years they had nothing on the case.
For years Attorney Ty Clevenger requested this information on the case from the FBI.
This week the FBI released the information without notifying Clevenger.
Now this…
The FBI documents included these two documents that mention Robert Mueller and Hillary Clinton from pages 134 and 135.
This email mentions Mueller holding the name of the hitman.
Important, if true.
It’s not. I mean, those emails are real, but if you back up a few pages (imho) they are discussing all the conspiracy theories around Seth’s death.
There is NO WAY the special counsel’s 17 angry Democrats were writing emails like that. I believe they were passing around some “crackpot’s” emails The originator’s name is redacted.
I am very disappointed the Gateway Pundit ran such a misleading story. It hurts their credibility
Garbage reporting. See my comment to Zy below
