On September 26, 2021, Yahoo News published an extensive article about the CIA targeting WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in 2017 and the extreme conversations that were taking place at the highest levels of the U.S. government about how to control him. There is a much bigger story transparently obvious when overlapped with CTH research files on the Intelligence Branch of government; specifically the motive missed by Yahoo News for the stunning activity they outline.
What I am going to outline below, is a deep dive using the resources and timeline from within that article and the specific details we have assembled that paints a clear picture about what interests existed for the Deep State, the Intelligence apparatus and what I call the Fourth Branch of Government.
This fully cited review is not for the faint of heart. This is a journey that could shock many; could alarm more, and will likely force more than a few to reevaluate just what the purpose was for Mike Pompeo within the Donald Trump administration.
As the Yahoo News article begins, they outline how those within the Trump administration viewed Assange as a risk in 2017. Here it is critical to accept that many people inside the Trump administration were there to control events, not to facilitate a policy agenda from a political outsider. In the example of Assange, the information he carried was a risk to those who attempted and failed to stop Trump from winning the 2016 election.
Julian Assange was not a threat to Donald Trump, but he was a threat to those who attempted to stop Donald Trump. In 2017, the DC system was reacting to a presidency they did not control. As an outcome, the Office of the President was being managed and influenced by some with ulterior motives.
Yahoo, via Michael Isikoff, puts it this way: “Some senior officials inside the CIA and the Trump administration even discussed killing Assange, going so far as to request “sketches” or “options” for how to assassinate him. Discussions over kidnapping or killing Assange occurred “at the highest levels” of the Trump administration, said a former senior counterintelligence official. “There seemed to be no boundaries.”
As we overlay the timeline, it is prudent to pause and remember some hindsight details. According to reports in November of 2019, U.S. Attorney John Durham and U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr were spending time looking carefully at CIA activity in the 2016 presidential election. One quote from a media-voice increasingly sympathetic to a political deep-state noted:
“One British official with knowledge of Barr’s wish list presented to London commented that, “It is like nothing we have come across before, they are basically asking, in quite robust terms, for help in doing a hatchet job on their own intelligence services””. (Link)
It is interesting that quote came from a British intelligence official as there was extensive pre-2016 election evidence of an FBI/CIA counterintelligence operation that also involved U.K. intelligence services. There was an aspect to the FBI/CIA operation that overlaps with both a U.S. and U.K. need to keep Wikileaks founder Julian Assange under tight control.
To understand the risk that Julian Assange represented to FBI/CIA interests, and effectively the Fourth Branch of Government, it is important to understand just how extensive the operations of the FBI/CIA were in 2016. It is within this network of foreign and domestic operations where FBI Agent Peter Strzok was clearly working as a bridge between the CIA and FBI operations.
By now, people are familiar with the construct of CIA operations involving Joseph Mifsud, a 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 legal and much easier.
One of the more interesting aspects to the unfinished Durham probe is the possibility of a paper trail created as a result of the intelligence community tasking operations. If Durham has indeed gone into this intelligence rabbit hole, we could see evidence of a paper trail.
Personally, I am doubtful Durham will put what you are reading into any actionable scenario. Nor do I anticipate a report that could outline the risk of Julian Assange to the activities that took place within the political weaponization of the intelligence apparatus.
HPSCI Ranking Member Devin Nunes has 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 and removed evidence that Carter Page was previously working for the CIA. This is what FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith was convicted for doing.
One week after the FBI and DOJ filed the second renewal for the Carter Page FISA [April 7, 2017], Yahoo News notes how Mike Pompeo delivered his first remarks as CIA Director:
[…] On April 13, 2017, wearing a U.S. flag pin on the left lapel of his dark gray suit, Pompeo strode to the podium at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a Washington think tank, to deliver to a standing-room-only crowd his first public remarks as Trump’s CIA director.
Rather than use the platform to give an overview of global challenges or to lay out any bureaucratic changes he was planning to make at the agency, Pompeo devoted much of his speech to the threat posed by WikiLeaks. (link)
Why would CIA Director Mike Pompeo be so concerned about Julian Assange and Wikileaks in April 2017?
In April of 2017 Pompeo’s boss, President Donald Trump, was under assault from the intelligence community writ large, and every deep state actor was leaking to media in a frenzied effort to continue the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy. The effort was so all consuming that FBI Director James Comey was even keeping a diary of engagement with President Trump in order to support an ongoing investigation built on fraud… yet, Mike Pompeo is worried about Julian Assange?
Again, here it is important to put yourself back into the time of reference. Remember, it’s clear in the text messages between FBI Agent Peter Strzok and Lisa Page that 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 it was also Peter Strzok who authored the July 31st, 2016, “Electronic Communication” from the CIA to the FBI that originated FBI operation “Crossfire Hurricane.” Strzok immediately used that EC to travel to London to debrief intelligence officials around Australian Ambassador to the U.K. Alexander Downer.
In short, Peter Strzok was a profoundly overzealous James Bond wannabe, who acted as a bridge between the CIA and the FBI. The perfect type of FBI career agent for 2016’s 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. One, if not the primary extractors, has now been identified as Rodney Joffe at Neustar. “The campaign plot was outlined by Durham last month in a 27-page indictment charging former Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann with making a false report to the FBI. The document cites eight individuals who allegedly conspired with Sussmann, but does not identify them by name. The sources familiar with the probe have confirmed that the leader of the team of contractors was Rodney L. Joffe.” {Go Deep}
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 as a double-agent for the CIA and Kremlin. Karapetyan was directing the foreign operations of Natalia Veselnitskaya, and Glenn Simpson was organizing her inside the U.S as part of his Trump-Russia creation.
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 handler, was FBI agent Peter Strzok who was giving Byrne the instructions on where to send her. {Go Deep}
All of this context outlines the extent to which the FBI/CIA was openly involved in constructing a political operation that settled upon anyone in candidate Donald Trump’s orbit. A large international operation directed by the FBI/CIA, and domestic operations seemingly directed 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 Trump, and Donald Trump Jr (FBI).
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. Deripaska refused to participate.
All of this engagement directly controlled by U.S. intelligence; and all of this intended to give a specific Russia impression. This predicate was presumably what John Durham was reviewing in November of 2019.
The key point of all that contextual background is to see how committed the CIA and FBI were to the constructed narrative of Russia interfering with the 2016 election. The CIA, FBI, and by extension the DOJ and a multitude of political operatives put a hell of a lot of work into it.
We also know that John Durham was looking at the construct of the Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA); and talking 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 context is important because it ties in to the next part that involves Julian Assange and Wikileaks. This is where the motives of Mike Pompeo in mid/late 2017 come into play.
[…] By the summer of 2017, the CIA’s proposals were setting off alarm bells at the National Security Council. “WikiLeaks was a complete obsession of Pompeo’s,” said a former Trump administration national security official. (link)
On April 11th, 2019, the Julian Assange indictment was unsealed in the Eastern District of Virginia (EDVA). From the indictment we discover it was under seal since March 6th, 2018:
On Tuesday April 15, 2019, 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 exactly was the DOJ waiting for from March 2018 to April 2019? This timeframe is the peak of the Robert Mueller/Andrew Weissmann special counsel investigation.
Here’s where it gets interesting….
The Yahoo article outlines, “there was an inappropriate level of attention to Assange“, by the CIA according to a national security council official. However, if you consider the larger ramifications of what Julian Assange represented to all of those people inside and outside government interests who created the Trump-Russia collusion/conspiracy, well, there was actually a serious risk.
Remember,why in May 2017 Robert Mueller and Andrew Weissmann effectively took over the DOJ. The entire purpose of the Mueller investigation was to cover-up the illegal operation that took place in the preceding year. The people exposed to the risk included all of those intelligence operatives previously outlined in the CIA, FBI and DOJ operations.
The FBI submission to the Eastern District of Virginia 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)
Dana Rohrabacher later published this account of the events:
Knowing how much effort the CIA and FBI put into the Russia collusion-conspiracy narrative; and knowing that Assange could essentially destroy the baseline predicate for the entire Trump-Russia investigation – which included the use of Robert Mueller; it would make sense for corrupt government officials to take keen interest after this August 2017 meeting between Rohrabacher and Assange. And that would explain why those same government officials, willfully or by direction, would quickly gather specific evidence (related to Wikileaks and Bradley Manning) for a grand jury by December 2017.
Within three months of the grand jury seating (Nov/Dec 2017), the DOJ generated an indictment and sealed it in March 2018. The EDVA then sat on the indictment while the Mueller/Weissman probe was ongoing.
As soon as the Mueller 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 three year 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 because the Mueller report was dependent on Russia cybercrimes, and that narrative is 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 the fulcrum point that structurally underpins the entire Trump-Russia collusion narrative. However, this important claim is directly disputed by WikiLeaks and Julian Assange, as outlined during the Dana Rohrabacher interview, and by Julian Assange’s 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 (Peter Strzok); 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 another Michael Sussmann partner, Shawn Henry at Crowdstrike, yes another DNC contractor and collaborator with the Clinton campaign.
The CIA always held a massive conflict of self-interest problem surrounding the Russian hacking claim as it pertains to their own activity in 2016. The FBI and DOJ always held a massive interest in maintaining that claim. Robert Mueller and Andrew Weismann did everything they could to support that predicate; and all of those foreign countries whose intelligence apparatus participated with Brennan and Strzok also carried a self-interest in maintaining that Russia hacking and interference narrative.
Julian Assange was/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 so important to the CIA, FBI, DOJ, ODNI and U.K Intelligence apparatus…. Well, right there is the obvious motive to shut Assange down as soon as intelligence officials knew the Mueller report was going to be public.
And that is exactly what the Fourth Branch of Government did.
The Yahoo Article does a great job outlining who, how, when and where the CIA and intelligence community were targeting Julian Assange. However, what they did not connect -and ideologically they would not want to connect- was exactly WHY the U.S. government, not Trump, was targeting Assange.
Recall how Isikoff was cast as reportedly “Stunned That His Carter Page Article Was Used To Justify Spy Warrant”
https://dailycaller.com/2018/02/02/isikoff-stunned-carter-page/
“Isikoff was shocked, he said, because his very article was based on information that came from Christopher Steele, the former British spy who wrote the dossier. He said it was “a bit beyond me” that the FBI would use his article in the FISA application.
“”Obviously the information that I got from Christopher Steele was information the FBI already had,” he said, noting that Steele began sharing information from his dossier in July 2016.
Isikoff acknowledged the potential problem with the DOJ and FBI citing his article to support the FISA against Page.
““It’s self-referential,” he said of the article and its reliance on the dossier. “My story is about the FBI’s own investigation,” he continued. “So it seems a little odd that they would be citing the Yahoo! News story about the matter that they are investigating themselves based on the same material that had been separately presented to the FBI before I was ever briefed by Christopher Steele.””
“Isikoff said on his podcast that he met Steele at a Washington, D.C. hotel in Sept. 2016. They were joined by his “old friend” Glenn Simpson, the founder of opposition research firm Fusion GPS. Fusion hired Steele to investigate Donald Trump’s ties to Russia. The firm was working for the Clinton campaign and DNC, a fact which Isikoff was not aware of at the time of the meeting with Simpson and Steele.
“He said on “Skullduggery” that he was aware that Simpson and Steele were working for Democrats, though he did not know it was the campaign and DNC.
“Isikoff said that he wonders whether the Republican memo accurately characterized the FISA application or whether the FBI/DOJ were trying to “dress up” the document. The latter scenario would be “embarrassing” for U.S. officials, he said.”
“Isikoff’s article was not considered a bombshell when it was published, though the Clinton campaign did tout it in a press release. The report did not initially gain much traction on cable news or with other major outlets, but it has picked up attention over the past year amid the ongoing investigation into possible Trump campaign collusion.
“The article did reveal for the first time that investigators were looking into Page’s contacts in Russia. It also provided the most extensive reporting on Page’s alleged activities in Russia up to that point in the campaign.”
Here the important thing is that Simpson’s wife is connected to Hillary. Her name is Mary Jacoby and she is connected to the Clinton’s by her father Jon Jacoby of Stevens and Company in Little Rock. On April the 10th 2016, Mary Jacoby meets with Obama in the White House and is there for 14 hours! April 13, Obama appointed Steven Chabinsky of Crowd strike Labs as General Counsel and Risk officer to the Presidential Commission for Cyber Security. [Crowd strike has a very checkered past, financed by Symth of Google and his friends, they find in 24 hours that it was Russia who hacked DNC for the emails. then on the 16th Hillary meets with Obama in the White house. on April 19 CNC pays a 6-Figure expense to Perkins Coie. Later that day Mary Jacoby visits the White House. Important point Mary has no record of visiting Obama before these two visits or after.
Michael Isikoff is an Enemedia presstitute of the highest (lowest) order. I cannot believe he did not know he was being used and was eager to do so. Any denials of knowledge to contrary are merely pre-planned plausible deniability insurance to protect his Swamp reputation.
The dossier was written by Cody Shearer. On June 26, 2015, Pete Brodnitz [of research firm Benenson Strategy Group] informed the team Clinton & DNC That Hillary was in grave danger with the voters over the $145 million the foundation received from former share holders of Uranium One. On December 21, 2015, when Hillary and the DNC had polling that said Trump would be the candidate, she would face they decided to attack Trump with false information on Russia to offset the Uranium One gifts. Steel was hired to only re-post the dossier and to get it in public press and media. It was Vicky Nuland who sent Michael Geta [FBI-Rome] who she sent to London to see what Steele had. Geta sent the information to FBI NYC!
I hope these criminals hang for treason.
the only way that will ever happen is if we do it ourselves.
Nothing happens until the will to go after them changes in DC. It starts locally then with a MAGA president with the focus, will and most importantly….advisors and administration that he knows and trusts.
Pompeo wants to run for president
I heard that rumor too. Anyone who goes up against Trump will be the loser, in my opinion. An election was stolen from us and until that is rectified, no one wins. In my opinion.
Agree –
just listened to very unsatisfactory interview with him on Megyn Kelly podcast.
Go to 30:00 point to hear him waffle on Assange – https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/aftermath-of-afghanistan-and-julian-assange/id1532976305?i=1000537031645
We already were pulled down that hole…remember George ‘the Daddy’ Bush. Spooks make poor leaders in a freedom-endowed republic. They are always running an operation! Pompeo deserves his place on the pedestal…a chair placed upon an operational, and busy, gallows. Hang ’em High…all of ’em!
Hes deluding himself.
I want to know if President Trump reads the Treehouse. He should because it seems to me that he didn’t know what was happening in his own administration.
I don’t blame him for not knowing. Who knew our government was so very corrupt?
But it is imperative that he know NOW about what was happening.
Honestly, I do not believe much gets beyond PDJT’s radar. Without a doubt he has staff to monitor everything and anything on the internet and in print and behind closed doors and on the other side and across the sea; his judas goats are most likely working day and night.
If you research his younger businessman days, he was noted as having the most sophisticated intelligence and security of any businessman worldwide.
So, that’s just from my reading and researching for many years.
And that is not mentioning that God is watching over DJT and his family also.
Make of that what you will…
Pompeo is not likeable, has zero charisma, or people skills and has the personality of a wet noodle.
Even if Trump weren’t in his way he would have no shot.
See also mitt romney….
Designated loser vs. some designated dem winner.
That’s the only reason he lost weight
you have to understand WHY..he KNOWS he does not have a chance in hell to win…(well, stolen perhaps)
the POINT OF RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT was made clear by Biden : it insulates them from criminal investigations and thus prosecutions of very serious crimes!
this WAS the “ruling” made clear by DOJ…their policy…”we will not investigate or prosecute “allegations” of wrong doing to presidential candidates.
this “principle” has no rational reason for existence.
what this does is it creates an opportunity to get your sins cleaned simply by running.
“I am being prosecuted because MY POLICY OPPONENT has made false claims about me”
the DOJ of course was more than willing to change that policy with President Trump.
To understand why President Trump (and LTGEN FLYNN AND MANY OTHERS, seth rich, assange, etc) was and IS an enormous threat is BECAUSE HE WOULD EVENTUALLY WIN AND BE SEATED AS POTUS. And with THAT POWER, he would have the authority and the ability to learn and then expose them.
Now for the dark theory (I told myself I would not run this one again, but the timing seems right with this thread…)
WHY DID THE CORRUPTORS ALLOW PRESIDENT TRUMP TO BE SEATED IN 2016?
WHY?
I’ve heard all the theories.
Here is the reality..they HAD ALL THE POWER NECESSARY AND MORE TO STEAL THAT ELECTION …
WHY DIDN’T THEY? Why pull up and allow him into the position?
You see, the corruptors needed a face and a name that they could describe as the villain of the world. They were merciless in every single way to destroy his character. They needed Trump to win, so they COULD DEFEAT HIM AND EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO DARED TO THREATEN THEIR POWER. THEY NEEDED TO MAKE A STATEMENT THAT WAS CRYSTAL CLEAR: WE OWN THIS TOWN..YOU ARE ALL JUST GUESTS!
But it gets worse. THEY HAVE BEEN PLANNING A FAST GRAB OF TOTAL GLOBAL CONCENTRATED POWER FOR QUITE A LONG TIME. IT WOULD TAKE A PRESIDENT LIKE TRUMP TO BREAK THE WILL OF THE ONLY POWER THEY TRULY FEAR: THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE!
So you take it’s hero leader and you destroy him…And then when everything is going OUR way, impeach him, attack him and eviserate everything he does, all the time 24/7….two impeachments, multiples schemes to trap him with sex crimes/rape even! the russian puppet….the game was to keep him in power long enough to torture him (US!)…And then 4 years later inspite of their efforts when it was certain he would win AGAIN (which they did not expect), they hand over the keys to malarkey joe, who is working on maybe 3 neurons. it’s the ultimate INSULT AND DESTRUCTION
It does not make any sense and nothing fits BECAUSE THAT IS EXACTLY HOW THEY PLANNED IT TO BE.
You raise up the knight, the peoples hero, and the next day you crucify him.
this tale has a long rich history among king makers.
the reality is this: presidents DO NOT RUN THE SHOW. They have NOT RUN THE SHOW for over 40 years, probably even further back than that.
The show is run by the most vile, godless, corrupt elite ….It’s just taken this long for it to become truly global with all players in the same agenda, without the unnecessary competition. They learned the big lesson…We can all break off a piece if we cooperate.
Stage 3 advances.
the gap narrows
the people are now aware and the majority is building.
the pain of the effects of the corrupt state is wearing on the wallets and the souls of men and women.
It will come in bursts…small, then more.
Be prepared.
God Bless America
So there are still a few people left inside “The Fourth Branch” who sense that things are awry….very awry, in fact.
That is a help and provides hope that The Leftist Communist Establishment and their cronies, The Fixed Marketeers in technology and other industries, will be exposed to the wider population for retribution.
NO, I am not very hopeful about it happening, but I am somewhat hopeful.
All it takes is e.g. for someone in “middle management” to find something floating around somewhere….and be appalled!
Things could then begin to crumble.
I would not be so quick to assume the timing of this is in some altruistic interest to get at the truth…
I am not assuming anything about the timing or anything else: as mentioned above, I am cautiously hopeful, but do not expect anything to happen from it.
Assange is hard on the one hand, after Wm. Bennie was treated so bad and he did it by the book, they think anyone is going to come forward by the book? Mongomery was trashed also so Assange is fine by me after all of that but of course, we didn’t really know at the time that the entire government was weaponized by Obama. Brennan had the UK tapping Trump Tower from the first days when they understood he was a huge force to deal with and would not play their game.
Once you realized Obummer had weaponized the whole government, were you surprised?
IRS and Lois Lerner went after the Tea Party and paid no price. There were signs, lots of signs.
.
Julian Assange was/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.
When I start to feel sorry for Assange, my next thought always is: okay, the information didn’t come from Russia. So spit it out. Where did it come from and where’s the documentation. What is being protected by not doing so.
USB from Seth Rich
With Seth’s bother as the cut out. It’s how they silenced the family.
It was a thumb drive or several.
I thought the idea was that Assange had a “kill switch” that would release everything but if so, why hasn’t he activated it?
You activate a kill switch upon your demise.
I thought they got activated when you failed to let it know you’re still alive, something Assange hasn’t been able to do for quite some time now.
Yes, in case of his death. I hope the 4th branch doesn’t know who Assange gave that task to.
More than one person if he’s smart.
Maybe that is what is keeping Assange alive? As has been demonstrated with Epstein and McAfee, the DS can kill you if they want to (no matter where you are, or in whose custody you are retained). Prevailing wisdom posits that Seth Rich sent Wikileaks a thumb drive with the DNC e-mails, but it has not been proven. What has been proven is that the e-mails could not have been hacked. The data came from a portable hardware device such as a thumb drive. Even if given a pardon, Assange could be killed by the DS whenever they so desire. He has something keeping himself alive. The US is the last place in the world JA wants to be transferred. They would do everything to him short of death.
His children sure are precious.
His life.
Correct. He keeps the information to stay alive.
The U.S. government wants to kill him. (The “land of the free” that we all once believed was our country.)
We live in the USSA. The land of the peasants, the pacified, the progreSSives, the political putzes, and hopefully, maybe enough patriots to recover after the crash. It would be nice to prevent the crash but the other P’s seem to be in charge at the moment.
Nice alliteration.
Wikileaks doesn’t reveal their sources. That policy is the only reason Assange is alive.
They came from Seth Rich, Word is, they retrieved the metadata from the phones of the dead hitmen, and the details are being suppressed as a matter of national security. The Arkancide of Seth Rich, and then the subsequent narrative that “The Russian’s did it/ Rich was a Robbery gone bad… will shock the world to their core.
The dead hitmen were expendable MS13.
In one interview he did imply it came from Seth Rich. He also offered a reward for information as to whom killed Rich.
At this point what’s in it for Assange to spill? Trump didn’t pardon him on his way out.
believe it or not, assange and wikileaks has a moral code that is superior to just about anything any one of us could even imagine. it would make no sense to us, UNLESS WE WERE IN THE BUSINES OF PROTECTING SOURCES.
You go just one time and reveal a source and trust me, based on what this data is really about, that source gets a dirt nap.
but more than that, it allows the corruptors to get at that person and manipulate him/her to reverse course !
the protection of sources is essential to publishing damning evidence OF TOP CENTRAL GOVERNMENTS>
one has to understand this principle isn’t simply to protect the wikileaks agency, but also its organization as a trusted place.
I will give you a comic book version to contemplate..two that come to mind:
why do some writers write under pseudonyns? Why has it become popular even in internet habits of regular folk
why does batman wear a costume and a mask? superman?
when you understand the necessity of being truly anonymous….what it really means….and what it allows and does not allow.
you get an appreciation for the very ethical and wise structure of wikileaks.
YOU BENEFIT. !

Pompeo is no good. No good at all. WE KNEW the rest of them were no good
And just where is Gina Haspel?
This story should be required reading for the “journalists” pretending to be experts on the so-called Durham sham.
Where’s Gina?

“Haspel joins a number of former government colleagues in the firm’s Government Matters practice including Dan Coats, Sally Yates, Rod Rosenstein, Paul Murphy, Sumon Dantiki, Viraj Mirani, and Stephen Vaughn.”
Durham, still has a grand jury sitting, and he is after the CIA documents, my guess is the one I posted where the UK was asked to tap Trump Tower. Bu the has filed one case due to time limits and appears to be very hard at work research which I do is very hard but when building a case for court even harder. Do not count him out yet!
Bannon is swamp himself.
Where is Julian Assange today?
Still held in Belmarsh Prison, Woolwich, London. It is an awful Cat A prison. Cat A is the highest level for prisoners, we are talking terrorists, murderers – the worst ! It also has a court within its walls, hence why they use it for terrorists, no need to move them across London and risk a hijack attempt.
The USA DOJ led extradition proceedings are, l believe on appeal ie the first attempt to extradite was denied but then the DOJ submitted other grounds/evidence. Its sort of lurking in the shadows.
Of concern is this, he is time served for breaking his bail conditions, the Swedes dropped the rape charge and it is not normal for a person to be held in any prison, let alone a Cat A whilst under extradition proceedings ( the exception to this is a murder and/or manslaughter charge or terrorist offences.) He could be released with an ankle monitor etc but the fact that he is not tells you something.
Exactly. He’s a political prisoner of the United States, the “land of the free.”
It is appalling.
He is in prison in UK pending charges there. The USA was not granted his removal to the USA so it is now just UK stuff but still in prison there.
I wonder how long it will ever be for Assange to be put on trial and what will be banned from public release. The left will pick their judge and maybe even the “defense” lawyer. Any evidence contrary to CIA/FBI interests will be deemed immaterial to the trial by the judge and barred from public disclosure.
And of course, there is always the Epstein/McAfee outcome to consider.
They’ll never allow him to come to trial.
And without public access since his “arrest,” who will hear him and relay the truth he’s protecting? Who? Who speaks for him now, so that he’s heard? Who among the stupid brainwashed public who have bought the government lies about him even cares?
There is no ethical, moral, good and right excuse for what has been done and is being done to that man.
Shame on all involved in this travesty!
I’m in full agreement. My view of him has done a 180 as we find out more and more about criminality and depravity of FBI, CIA, any and all worldwide agencies. They have done their best to paint him as.public enemy #1. It’s a big dirty world these people operate in. Who knows the truth? But it seems our people are working just a bit too frantically to neutralize him.
I beleive his lawyer fell in front of a moving train , didnt he?
That’s scheduled for tomorrow. Unless you know something I don’t.
The prior lawyer “fell” in front of a train.
Well I missed that! Gosh this is sort of getting predictable.
Yes
I believe that the courts in the UK are still holding back on Assange’s extradition, after first okaying it. I have not seen anything on this for a long time.
If they do decide to extradite, Assange is a dead man.
Much talk is made of Assange or likely someone very close to him having a much discussed “Kill Switch”. I pray that is not fantasy, and that should the worst befall Mr Assange (as I pray it does not), the switch is activated before he takes his final breath. And that these people who have so much to hide have the heavens fall onto all their heads.
Thank you.
You’re welcome.
Assange is in Bel Marsh prison awaiting a delayed trial date of October 27. The US is pushing hard to extradite him. If they succeed, you can kiss freedom of speech goodbye. You think it’s bad now? You ain’t seen nothing yet.
I thought so. Thank you for confirming. I’m well aware of what’s at stake. British judges are notorious for being completely out of touch. I lived there for 2 decades and got an “up close and personal” tutorial by watching how they ruled. They originally agreed to extradite, then reversed. I’m wondering what exactly changed their minds because it was so unexpected. Bel Marsh is no holiday destination. All news of him just seemed to fall off the cliff. And there’s nothing to say the unpleasant British security services won’t be coopted into doing their American counterpart’s dirty work.
USG has zero interest in actually extraditing him.
the game is to have him in legal limbo with two nations “negotiating” the terms of his fate.
It’s a game.
the UK is just as worried about what would happen if he actually goes to a courtroom in the US.
It’s all a gimic.
Assange has completed his sentence for failure to appear. There would be no reason to hold him. Yet the British courts used a very wonky reading of the law that requires him locked up pending determination of extradition.
the charges the USG has filed POTENTIALLY carry a death sentence. UK courts do not recognize extradition of anyone in their country (regardless of citizen status), if a death sentence is possible. UK does not recognize death penalties.
USG is not going to change those charges either ! They could, and temper them, but it will not. They will not refile with promised conditions to the UK government simply because doing so would allow for his release.
and thus HIS DAY IN COURT.
Neither country has any interest in allow Assange and AN ARMY OF VERY DETERMINED ATTORNEYS AND SUPPORTERS TO ASSEMBLE THE SHOWDOWN OF THE CENTURY IN A COURTROOM.
Even just a fraction of the things that Assange could use to defend himself would be a death blow to specific people and institutions in both governements. Big players.
they are content with playing this negotiation game.
Assange will die in prison from napkin rape and strangling himself with ravioli.
THEY WILL SEE TO THAT!
Seth Rich. Nuff said
Seth Rich. I’ll say it again for emphasis. That is where all this leads.
I agree that is what we need to know that was a USA murder.
Pompeo is a Pence lite.
Presumably he is going to primary Trump so he can become his VP “handler” rather than General Flynn.
Saving the institutions blah blah. As if Trump has actually wrecked anything, instead made every effort to slow roll and carefully time damage to the corrupt institutions.
While both are insidious, I consider Pompeo to be the more dangerous.
So do I, because Pompeo is much smarter.
Pompeo is NOT going to Primary Pres. Trump.
They like to murder people.
No evidence of that!
There is a tremendous movie that really should be seen about Assange called
THE FIFTH ESTATE, with Benedict Cumberbatch as Assange. He gives a miraculous performance and couldn’t have been better cast. I can highly HIGHLY recommend it.
Riveting from start to finish.
Just downloaded it on YouTube
Wonderful Maggie!! Thank you!
Yes and but it is based on a former employee dismissed. So consider that.
There’s always the Hollywood treatment with liberties taken. But it was a good watch for the acting alone.
“Almost all “terror” plots are created by the FBI as part of its business model. What is the business of the FBI? Extracting tax. What does it need to do that? A stable threat. Prob? Real terrorists are sporadic & make FBI look weak. Solution? Make them.
The FBI is giving guns to the mentally ill to attack people then leaping in to save the day, cameras rolling. What a bunch of jerks.”
– Julian Assange
We know what they are, how corrupt, how out of control, how viciously partisan. But I don’t believe we could face the degree of their dirtiness and probable crimes without admitting the Republic and its constitutionally laid out branches of government have been a facade and a disgusting lie for decades. That’s a soul shattering thing to recognize. If we knew all, I think they’d make the Mafia look like choir boys.
Your statement begs the question: why have “government” AT ALL?
The literal meaning of “government” is MIND CONTROL.
The people populating it are psychopathic sociopaths whose meaning in life is having life or death power and control over others. All “governments” all the time, regardless of the name/style/type.
All governments devolve into disasters.
We’re supposed to be intelligent beings. Why haven’t we learned this historical reality and truth and stopped allowing these inevitably malevolent rulerships? Why can’t we be content to just live with each other as peacefully as it is in our power to do so?
And YES, it is in our power to do so.
It’s like Christianity: people don’t like Christianity because “it doesn’t work.” In reality, they’ve just never seriously tried to live it, because it requires they put aside their covetousness, envy, and resentment. Christianity doesn’t fail. They just don’t want it because they’d have to surrender their own lusts and ill will toward others; they have to give up their desire to rule others.
It’s the original sin: “You shall be as God, knowing good and evil, and having the power of life and death.”
No dirtiness and probable crimes can be so committed on such a scale without the blind, willing participation of the people who allow them to be there in the first place.
“There are none so blind as those who will not to see.”
It’s always been there right in front of our very eyes all the time. We just preferred not to see it because “we have seen the enemy, and he is us.”
So. Why do we allow it? Why do we lie to ourselves that we can “elect” good people to rule over us? Where did that lie come from? “There are none good, no, not one.”
1 Samuel 8
God warned us. But like Israel, we want physical human beings we can see to rule us, not some invisible fantasy we know we cannot control and will answer to for eternity. If our leaders are corrupt, we can permit ourselves a certain amount of corruption, too, in the name of “obeying the law of the land.”
All governments are a facade and a disgusting lie, since Satan decided to challenge his Creator and rightful King, and our first human parents in God’s own special garden joined forces with him against our loving and rightful Creator and King. And so down the ages, the hard thing has always been to change camps and resist our tempting desires so to love and serve our rightful Savior and King.
No human government can do that. You cannot legislate love for another human being, let alone love for Jesus Christ Almighty God.
He is a just and gentle Ruler: He gives us only His Ten Commandments and Golden Rule. To each one of us individually. He nowhere establishes enforcers. Each of us must make a voluntary choice. That was the whole purpose and meaning of Jesus Christ Almighty God and what He did for us on that cross. He alone has the right to rule us, and He alone is qualified to. He never delegated His throne and power to anyone else.
[sigh] I’ll stop now.
There is a way out of all this evil, but it’s NOT through yet more human “government.”
There are times, GrayCat, that it all gets on top of me as well. While I can’t assign someone’s beliefs or that lack of them, their actions speak volumes. I believe absolutely that anyone who follows Christ would not act in the manner that these people do. I also believe there are human pieces missing from these people. At some point in their lives, maybe in later years, in the dead of night they will be unable to turn away from what they’ve accomplished or caused. That sort of reconciliation does come to us all. Perhaps then, when faced with their deeds, they will accept Christ as their only Redeemer and Advocate. Because in the end that’s the only truth. That is for them at the appropriate time. We can be accountable only for ourselves.
Amen. Thank you GrayCat.
“the Republic and its constitutionally laid out branches of government have been a facade and a disgusting lie for decades. That’s a soul shattering thing to recognize. ”

I am still struggling to accept that only now am I beginning to understand what life in these United States really has been.
The tyranny we’re openly seeing now has always been here. That’s why the courts don’t stop it. That’s why congress is silent. That’s why the news media pretends all is normal.
This has always been how it was.
I was deluded my whole life about what our nation really is.
I thought I was living in the land of the free.
i was deluded also. There isn’t any way to process this. Even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus.
By recognizing it, for myself I’ve been going over the last 4 or so decades and examining the life changing historical events which have occurred during that time frame. One such is the Kennedy assassination in Dallas. I’ve come to believe that government entities were involved in his murder. And that Oswald was a dupe employed to do it. I watched on television when Jack Ruby pulled the trigger on him at the Dallas Courthouse on the Sunday after. It has struck me as extremely odd that he was able to get right up on him to do that when one would think the FBI would have secured Oswald better. I believe they wanted him, needed him, out of the way because he knew what they couldn’t dare let come to light. That’s just one point in my thinking.
But it’s things like that which make my suspicions that our secret agencies are up to their eyeballs in devastating and duplicitous actions that none know about more probable. My trust in our government is in ashes, and no Phoenix is going to rise out of them. And like you I feel sickened by it.
And then Jack Ruby was visited in prison by an MK Ultra doctor. By the time the doctor was through with him, his testimony for the Warren Commission was worthless. Not a coincidence.
Source: the book Chaos, which makes a darned good case that Charles Manson was also an MK Ultra subject, although the author could never find direct proof. He did find proof of the exploits of one Dr. Jolly West though. Highly recommended. Also the Joe Rogan interview about the book with the author.
and Ruby died of a virulent form of cancer that was being researched at LSU. Reference the book “Dr. Mary’s Monkey”
The FBI knew 911 was going to happen. See the Corbett Report documentary.
I seem to recall from Mark Steyn’s book America Alone he recounted that John Brennan was the Station Chief who signed off on the visas for the terrorists who carried out that horrid atrocity. Mark is very good finding out little details like that. Interesting, no?
I recall when Barr and Durham flew to Italy regarding Joseph Misfud and then nothing seemed to happen afterward. I had great hope after this story came out.
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/amid-impeachment-furor-barr-and-durham-flew-to-rome-to-hear-a-secret-tape-of-joseph-mifsud-mysterious-professor-at-center-of-mueller-probe
I remember that too. Sebastian Gorka was in a cafe in Rome reporting it. He was so giddy then nothing came about.
The Mifsud angle (is he still alive) is sure something I would like to know the truth about, but probably never will
the specific place they “entered” is a well known spook development and research facility (hidden within a educational veneer).
Barr flew with durham because there are certain things you cannot say over the telephone.
they went their to direct in person the shutdown and complete destruction of all damning evidence that would expose the truth about how the “agency” has been developing some of the most sinister operations that are not in fact in the interests of national security at all…but furthering the power, the control and the influence of the secret police spy state that truly does run the world.
intelligence. in war and especially when designing them, is more valuable that any other currency.
intelligence IS POWER.
I’m over Pompeo. I’m sick of these men who claim to be Christ followers and yet do the dirtiest of deeds. He’s now in the same bucket as Pence, to me. #DeepState
From a layman’s perspective, you only have to look at how Assange was treated vs. Snowden (and I don’t really give a flying flip how the government likes to categorize them). Assange has been held captive and treated terribly. Snowden had safe passage, held worldwide “broadcasts”, and the DOJ took his book earnings… big deal. Snowden is a useful tool of the Deep State so they keep him well fed and protected. Assange is a threat to the Deep State and they’ve done everything but kill him. He committed to gravest of sins… he exposed Hillary Clinton, the Soros’/Deep State darling.
While I appreciate Sundance, your deep dive in excellent detail because people need to understand it – how the Deep State works – just from a regular perspective, it’s clear who the winners and losers are. Our government has morphed into a greedy, self-serving, morally depraved, entity. Sad.
I think a big reason why they are targeting Assange is that when the people find out the true culprit for the Seth Rich murder, they know that is a bridge too far for the Deep State.
I missed your comment when I posted essentially the same thing below. Sorry.
I have never understood Seth Rich family.. Why do they keep quite they must know
what really happened to him? Why do they not question anything?
If I remember correctly, it was to protect their other son.
I am under the impression that the deep state informed them that their other son could continue living if they kept their mouths shut.
They were paid off.
They don’t want the same fate to befall on them is my guess.
They know that they are dealing with murderous bastards.
If the U.S. government killed someone in your family, you would understand very clearly what living in the “land of the free” really means.
That is why they are silent. They want to live.
What about Antonín Scalia’s family??
Cremated the next day for an Italian family???
It was obvious from the CIA war against Trump throughout his presidency that Pompeo wasn’t keeping house. So much of the impeachment effort came out of State. I had Pompeo’s number long ago. Another traitor who should have been fired.
Same for me. I think Pompous Pompeo had President Trump convinced he was the man to go after China.
In the days of the Roman civil war, Caesar won the allegiance of skilled generals who saw his popularity with his legions and saw he could win.
Trump has us, his legions. Where are Trump’s allied “generals”, his allied wealthy and powerful and influential men? There are none. Not a single one.
This cowardice hiding in plain sight cannot be forgiven. If the battle for ending rigged elections is won and power is restored to the electorate, these “elites” should be thoroughly purged. “Their kind must never rise again”.
Trump has some very rich people one is Peter Tiel. There are others. But not the normal lot. for sure.
I’ve always wondered who PDJT has for allies that would be considered powerful…
30 years from now Durhams grandson will be conducting this ongoing investigation.
We are close to the end, soon one day either nothing more, or my guess is 15 indictments.
Since when did we begin to treat Yahoo and the “investigative journalists” like Isikoff as a credible source of anything?
There’s always danger in trusting the word of a guy you know is a mouthpiece of your enemy.
its always difficult to navigate the roads of corruption.
but often the enemy vomits out more than they should.
was isikoff simply a useful idiot or a player.
does it matter?
WHAT MATTERS is that sundance is enlightened and knows the dark arts and can do a proper rinse and still locate the truths they want to conceal.
when you enemy tells you a story, your first reaction should be to reject the claim.
but you still want to know what you enemy is saying….sometimes they give up the game.
this is the problem about secrets.
you start sharing secrets with too many people and all of sudden things start to break down and they get cute or make unforced errors.
this is the weakness of this current installment of corruptors..
they are so bent on displaying their fabrications, to push the narratives so aggressively, they forget the very rule of fight club:
you don’t talk about fight club.
(the movie holds a special place simply because of that ironic scene….alas, as with reality, there truly are no secrets once they are “shared”…only temporarily concealed.
For reasons that should be obvious by now, GOD CREATED OUR WORLDS with one single LAW that always holds:
truth always finds a way.
I treat no one’s words as gospel truth. That includes Trump and Sundance. And I always treat those who misled me once with extreme prejudice — the list is long and includes every media outlet and every politician on either side.
I would not trust a single word they say or print. Especially regarding politics, economy, immigration, foreign affairs, health, polls, crime, racial issues, culture and weather.
I wondered that myself – my personal theory is that his (Trump’s) family was threatened.
I believe many threats came at Trump after The Big Steal. The SS said they couldn’t protect him outside of the WH supposedly. But now he seems to have many of the criminals back on their heels. I’m not sure why? The amount of citizens backing him? The threats from us if they harm him or his family? We may never know.
Trump is covered and is his family.
God I hate to say anything negative against the Best President in my 66 years on the planet but this poor guy had less than a handful of people he could trust in helping him pick any type of staff.
He was forced to trust friends and former business associates he trusted hoping they had his best interests at heart.
Unfortunately most of them didn’t.
Such a shame.
This country owes him 4 years of a Presidency they blatantly stole from him and the 4 years they thwarted everything he tried to do to make our country an even greater place to live.
Obviously we need him now more than ever.
And let’s focus on what Trump said at his recent rally: Our country was stolen from us – time the American citizens started to boycott the swing states who were complicit in this!
The American people need Trump Presidency more than Trump needs Trump Presidency.
Just remember this: He is still alive, along with his wife, and families.
So…there is that.
President Trump told you over and over….and we need to understand what he was saying. It’s more true now that we have had the time and experience to understand the threat, not rocking our worlds.
IN REALITY, ITS NOT ME THEY ARE AFTER
THEY ARE AFTER YOU
I AM JUST IN THE WAY
he should come out strong on this TODAY, imo.
rip the deep state a new one.
Thank you again Sundance. We know. Many others are learning. Throwing sand when I can.
A damn good question that will never get an answer. Same for Edward Snowden. If the bull really wanted to break the China shop, they both would have been pardoned and given presidential freedom medals on day one. Well that’s what I’d do if I were president, anyway.
Thank you. You’re not alone, though most of the time it sure seems like it!
Snowden was working for the Clowns. That’s why he’s gotten the red carpet treatment while Assange gets jail and assassination plots.
There is a big difference between Snowden and Assange. Snowden probably realized he was going to take the fall for the work he was doing in China and decided to flip. I don’t trust Snowden and Assange is a hack but he seems to have some boundaries. Given what we know now it seems hackers are the good guys? Screwy and all so corrupt. Upside down.
“ back in Russia Deputy AG Karapetyan died in a helicopter crash.”
Ah yes, the unfortunate helicopter crash…
Great work as always. Thank you on behalf of this American. Now can we do something about this other than shake our heads?
Speaking of aviation accidents, has anyone else noticed that in the last five years being a billionaire (or famous sports figure) in a small plane or helicopter anywhere in the world is extremely hazardous to your health? Double if you are flying with your teenage daughter on board?
Just this week, another one, this Rosen guy.
That follows the helicopter crash in Sydney, the West Virginia coal magnate in the Caribbean, the rapist basketball player Kobe . . . And several more.
Just coincidence, I’m sure.
Paging John Brennan, Your noose is ready.
As far as I can tell, the direction Durham is taking is “The poor FBI and IC were FOOLED by those evil external contractors who made things up. They had no idea at all that these people were being paid to make them up.” While “exonerating” them from outright treason, that approach also makes them look like idiots who were too stupid to look into the sources.
I think followers of this site have understood for a long time that Assange was being persecuted because he could put an immediate end to the Russia conspiracy hoax. Otherwise the government would have offered him a deal to reveal who gave him the data. The fact that they didn’t meant they knew but they didn’t want anyone else to know.
All of which of course leads back to the suspicion that Seth Rich was the culprit and was assassinated for it. By whom becomes an interesting question. Team Hillary? Team CIA?
Podesta. Email where he says punish the leaker, if only to send a chilling effect. Or something to that effect. Then there’s his Scalia “wet works” email.
Both of which we know about thanks to Wikileaks.
DS got Chris Sign for ratting out the LL BC plane meeting. Assange may be safer in a way in Belmarsh physically than any other place. O t o h, what will be left of his mind?
How chilling was Podesta’s comment approving the hit, which I paraphrase from memory, “we don’t have the evidence, but we have to make an example of someone.”
And remember Donna Brasil mentioning publicly her fear that what happened to him might happen to her.
These began a conversion experience which was confirmed by Chuck Ross’ detailing of the Imran Awan IT spy network through which the DNC controlled the House Democratic caucus.
Though I honor The Glorious Revolution of 1689, here, now, I hope for an American Resolution, more like our Great Awakenings. I want to be a child of the light, to purge and banish the pervasive corruption of power.
I am more optimistic. The Alfa Bank conspiracy seems easy to prove. It involves most of the same players involved in the dossier. By getting the outside players first, they may very well lead to the FBI, DOJ and State people.
He is hopefully working up the food chain
Trust Kansas.
Well, that’s the thing. Everyone else on that list got outed as a DS spy/shill/plant/traitor.
That’s probably the biggest strike against Pompeo at the moment. He’s in bad, bad company.
And I doubt the maker of that list was actually fooled about all of them.
That phrase right there resonates more than Isikoff on the red alert button.. .But it’s deep spy games and maybe you hide the one good guy amidst the bad. Impossible to tell for an outsider.
Please explain “Trust Kansas”. I know Pompeo was from Kansas. Are you being sarcastic? What’s the list Alex1689 is speaking about?
Did the IC play a role in the stolen election?
Constant and consistent “4th Branch” actions clearly and loudly say affirmative.
Yes
As sure as the sun will rise in the morning.
It was China as Mike Lindell said. They worked out of a site in West Africa connected through Germany.
Sigurdur Thordarson, a key witness for the FBI in the Assange case has been jailed in Iceland. Probably not a coicidence, given that he has just publicly contradicted his US court statements.
Thordarson, an alleged hacker and convicted pedophile was given immunity by the FBI in exchange for testimony against Julian Assange to secure his extradition. He was recruited by US authorities to build a case against Assange.
In a recent interview with Stundin (source) he admitted to fabricating statements to implicate Assange and contradicted what he was quoted as saying in US court documents.
Thordarson is a repeat offender who was described as a “sociopath” by court ordered psychologists during a trial which saw him jailed for sex crimes against nine under-age boys who he deceived and coerced into giving him sexual favors. Five other similar cases were dropped due to lack of evidence. One of the victims committed suicide after prosecutors dropped charges specifically related to his abuse.
The FBI chooses its informants with care.
There aren’t enough showers and soap to make clean the FBI. All of them, including whatever high percentage of the rank and file Hannity keeps calling “good” people. I would not wish to live in their world.
But what kind of care?
They’re evil and sick, but I think we all know that!
The many uses of pedophiles. FIB and CIA wrote the book, I’m sure.
One name missing from this narrative…..SETH RICH.
Aside from that, it is wholly disconcerting to learn that those one thought were ‘allies’ during the Trump administration, were anything but. And I cannot imagine the difficulty that Trump would have had, trying to figure out who to trust. Sadly, I think he was misled in many instances (and, as an aside, I believe the end result of the vaccine was on of them). In any event, so who could Trump actually depend on, as allies? The list seems absurdly small.
By the way, over the course of the past few years, one thing kept being touted: General Flynn has been immobilized because he ‘knows where the bodies are buried’. Is he an ally? Does he have information that would help Trump? Are we to eventually learn that Flynn goes the way of Pompeo? What about Bill Barr? And what is the status of Assange now??? Still so many unanswered questions.
Sundance has very good reason to believe Durhams report will never see the light of day much less be released to the public / media.
From the Federalist article cited in Sundance’s article above [bold emphasis mine]:
“In a potential conflict of interest, Attorney General Merrick Garland employed Sullivan’s wife Maggie as a law clerk when he was a federal judge. Garland controls the purse strings to Durham’s investigation and whether his final report will be released to the public.”
Ref. https://thefederalist.com/2021/10/08/durham-investigates-pentagon-cybersecurity-contractors-who-helped-clinton-campaign-plot-russia-hoax/
There have been questions about why Durham’s indictments are so long and detailed. Perhaps the indictments are his report.
“speaking indictments” according to one article I read. The indictment is intentionally verbose, lengthy — in effort to show a conspiracy.
Sundance is always ahead of the curve and on target, but I do find it intriguing to consider a less predictable outcome.
The article related to the 27 page Sussman indictment is a bit IT technical but well worth a read. It was authored by Paul Sperry of Real Clear Investigations.
Gateway Pundit published a shorter version but would encourage reading the full version by Sperry realclearinvestigations.com ??
So, Pompeo was involved in the coup?
Is that correct?
Yes, once CIA, always CIA.
Yes, Pompeo was the head of the CIA. Top of the Deep State.
We don’t know and nothing Sundance laid out here changes that in my mind.
I will grant that Pompeo could have gotten internal CIA documents around the 2016 election while Director and doesn’t seem to have and he also could have released info on Hillary’s emails as Sec State and didn’t do that, either.
I think he probably got some false deep state advice that Assange would damage the country’s security, our IC and confidential security secrets would be released or some such bullshit from Pompeo or others President Trump trusted at the time. My guess is he no longer trusts those individuals anymore and hopefully regrets not pardoning Assange! Time will tell!
Agree. Imagine what goes through President Trump’s mind when he contemplates and looks back realizing now how many in his administration were Judas’.
I can’t recall, did Congressman Rohrabacher ever meet with President Trump?
No, Gen. Kelly would not allow it.
And wasn’t Rohrbaugh drummed out of office shortly thereafter?
I once thought “general” in front of someone’s name meant someone you could trust.
Then Afghanistan happened.
No. For full context, read the document from Rohrabacher included in Sundance’s write-up.
If Durham wants to finish up his assignment without further delay, perhaps a daily check in to the Treehouse will help him along.
Pence, Pompeo…and their kin…have led many righteousness-hungry citizens to a false hope in a government of, by and for the people. That hope lies irredeemably shattered upon the rocks of an angry shore.
It appears that Mr. Pompeo directly followed his brief from John Brennan. His methods and targets are impeccably consistent with those of more widely-recognized Clintonistas.
That leads me to ask: If Pompeo did such damage to the nation during his time as CIA Director, what harms did he inflict upon us during his tenure running Foggy Bottom?
“Assange told a U.S. congressman … he can prove the leaked Democratic Party documents … did not come from Russia.”
His name was Seth Rich.
The IC needed to carry the Russian interference lie into 2020. It was how they deflected from China’s role in stealing the election.
So, why did Ratcliffe allow the ODNI report to be delayed? Why did Pompeo want to assassinate Assange? Why does he want to primary Trump? Who talked Trump out of pardoning Assange?
To Sundance or anyone else with knowledge of this: Where are the leaks in the case coming from? Lawfare or someone close to the investigation? To know the source would be to know the purpose of these leaks and this would help me better understand what is going on.
Yeah, I remember when I said the our gov would kill people to get them out of their way and I was worried about Trump and his family. FBI/ CIA would absolutely do it.
President Trump this week “My job was to save the country AND SURVIVE. “
I am a bit confused too…was Pompeo involved in the coup??? It sounds like that is a definite possibility…inquiring minds want to know…
Affirmative. Constant and consistent ” 4th Branch” actions are loud and clear.
One super max facility is needed, for all the criminals involved in the deception.
Not enough!
Isn’t there a tropical resort located down in Cuba?
That would be an ideal place for them to relax – heck, maybe they could even enjoy some water sports.
Julian Assange is a classic case of “the man who knows to much”…and therefore a threat to the deep state.
He knows Seth Rich was murdered by the deep state. He knows there was NEVER a Russian hack. He knows Seth Rich DOWNLOADED data from the DNC to a flash drive…that proved that the DNC dishonestly gave the nomination to Hillary. He knows how corrupt the ENTIRE federal government really is.
For a long time I just assumed that Assange was still alive because he has the evidence — re: who his source was for the DNC hack — stored in multiple locations. If he should die, or anyone in his family dies, that evidence would automatically and immediately be made public in multiple ways via multiple sources.
Also, Assange pretty much already admitted his source was Seth Rich, which would have been consistent with his modus operandi.
Assange used sources inside his target, e.g. Bradley Manning– those with direct access to the data. And, Assange prided himself on the fact Wikileaks data had a 100% accuracy/trustworthy rating.
Assange would never have trusted some outside stupid Russian hacker calling himself Gucifer II. ? That’s ridiculous because to do so would have put his entire reputation (and reliability and this survivability of Wikileaks) in jeopardy… and Assange considers himself to be a serious journalist.
It was always insane to me that every Tom, Dick and Harry was interviewed for multiple hours about Russia/Trump campaign Collusion with the DNC email hack as the foundational crime … but NO ONE ever bothered to interview the ONLY person who knows for a FACT who his source was — Julian Assange. It’s SO incompetent and absurd not to subpoena and obtain Assange’s testimony that it makes the entire Russia Collusion hoax… look like a hoax. It was nonsensical in the extreme.
Pompeo SHOULD have been obsessed with Assange bc Assange is the one person who… could have ended the entire BS Russia/Trump Campaign Collusion hoax that plagued the nation and the Trump Administration for 3+ years.
The fact no one did obtain Assange’s sworn testimony was SO absurd that I just assumed, at the time, that this failure must be part of the Trump/Patriot Sting Op to take down the DS/swamp.
As it turns out… everyone on our side was an incompetent imbecile OR complicit in the crime of Sedition against the 45th POTUS.
Complicit
His name is Seth Rich
When Sarah Palin announced publicly that she was wrong about Assange and apologized I wonder what she had put together. Had President Trump pardoned Assange the crap would have hit the fan. Not sure what the fallout would have been.
My guess is that his “trusted” advisors, Pompeo etc, convinced him not to do so.
After Pompeo became the CIA director, George Papadopolous says a guy named Charles Tawil gave him $10,000 in cash at a hotel in Israel. Papadopolous smelled a rat and left cash with his attorney in Greece. So very coincidentally, upon Papadopolous’s return to the U.S. the FBI arrested him at Dulles Airport. Overseas operations are under the purview of the CIA. A well-informed interviewer could ask Pompeo some difficult questions.
As I recall, it was Papadopolous’ then girlfriend, now wife, that figured out it was a trap. One smart lady.
I thought Papa D was gonna bring the cash back for analysis. And speaking of Papa D, he seems to have dropped off the radar. He is a grifter in my book and an unreliable source of info.
Because the deep state – McConneell was going to throw his weight behind impeachment.
There was talk of Trump pardoning him, but then it changed with word received that McConnell would go all out for impeachment. He had the numbers.
Pardon them on the way out the door after the election. Just like most presidents before him.
