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.
I believe McConnell was holding the second impeachment over the head of DJT when the pardons were being considered.
Yep everyone close to Trump was dogshit. Especially his rat nose son in law and his converted daughter. And before the MIGA’s accuse me of “antisimetism” I am immune to that because I don’t have the power and privilege of jews. And Stephen Miller who is a jew, was absolutely one of Trump’s best advisors.
Fusion-GPS founder Glenn Simpson hired CIA Open Source analyst Nellie Ohr, who as a self admitted ham radio operator, probably employed those skills to transmit her coded message status reports to her handlers. Good old Nellie cut her research teeth in the former Soviet Union, as I recall.
Thanks so much SD – I am routinely in awe of your research and presentation skills.
SPeaking of ham radios, I believe it’s Joffe (could be Sussman, one of the 2) that has recently filed for a ham radio license
But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security. Such has been the patient Sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the Necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.
The funny thing is that for the last 50 years, the Leftists in Hollywood had portrayed the the CIA in movies as a dangerous, extra-Constitutional rogue agency. But all of a sudden they suck up to them like they are like fearless patriots who are as morally pure as altar boys and always above board.
I truly hope that Julian has the last laugh.
Guccifer 2 was another deception, probably comandeered by Shawn Henry. This is documented very well in https://g-2.space/. It came to be very soon after Julian announced that he was going to release some emails from the DNC…
I heard at the time all this Guccifer 2 stuff came out that, Gucc was James Corney Comey
Bad influence.
Reading this provoked some not very deep thoughts. I apologize:
I hope Sundance has his own security detail, and a competent one at that.
Why did President Trump appoint Haspel and all of the rest here? He didn’t have his own people and he couldn’t get them approved even if he did? Nobody but Sundance could tip him off about the incestuous web of Byzantium, D.C?
It is easy to see why they shouted, “Death to America,” once you see how our spooks replay their spookcraft right here in our own country.
Too much taxpayer money being spent for too much long knifing and not enough being spent to ensure this country’s survival—surely more naive, brief glimpses into the obvious.
St. Michael the Archangel pray for us. End all of this evil soon.
Once the dust settles, I wonder if USA will have any allies.
Maybe communist countries Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
In other words, Oceania.
Hey retired,
You forgot Marxist Britain
Yes I did.
I believe there is a chance that the USA will not survive this debacle. If we continue down the path that has been chosen for us, we will not survive. The left (I used to be one) will not stop the deception or lies. THEY WILL NOT STOP! That should be obvious to anyone who pays attention to the world around them. No need to worry about any allies.
Many Bible Scholars state…no evidence of America existing in the book of Revelation….Pray..
I believe Hal Lindsay wrote as much in his best selling The Late Great Planet Earth
@Leroy: But many Bible scholars do contend America is mentioned in the book of Revelation.
Name one scholar and the Bible verse & Bible version you are referring to.
Having done an intensive line-by-line study of Revelation done by a worldwide ministry and written by leading Bible scholars, no mention of America is made.
Wrong. Like it or not we are Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots, Read all the chapters of Revelation an see for your self that it is describing the USA.
Good question.
If we become like THEM to defeat THEM.
Didn’t we just create more of THEM?
If you are a peaceful man living peacefully in your home and violent gang-bangers break in during the night, threatening your family’s safety and your life, would you just sit quietly because you would “become like THEM to defeat THEM” if you got a weapon and at least attempted to save your family?
Defending our country from violent gang-bangers of the authoritarian globalist type is not becoming like them, unless you fear turning into an authoritarian globalist if you put a stop to the authoritarian globalists?
Alonzo, is it that they won’t stop because they’re so heavily invested in their lies that there is no way they would dare even thinking of stopping, or is it there is something deep within that compromises their souls and prevents them from telling the truth? Either way, we get a really creepy feeling knowing how infiltrated is every nook and cranny of the federal system.
ALL compromised souls belong to Satan. His ?̷?̷?̷?̷?̷?̷?̷?̷ most devious accomplishment is convincing the world he does not exist.
…and if you were taught he does exist, there’s plenty of time to raise hell & have fun before submitting to God’s plan. No doubt America’s problem is spiritual.
When the real winner of the 2016 election is restored there will be a time of reckoning
2020
you sure about that? trump gives no indication that he is aware that the republican party sabotaged him.
Why would he do that…it would be rediculously awful
There was no Russia collusion and Mueller and his henchmen could only fantasize that it did for two years! Yet they brought forward NOTHING supporting it. So Trump did not cheat to win in 2016. If so, link us all to the evidence.
You mean, real allies?
In name only.
AGREE- especially about our hero Sundance. Every since I came here a few years back and began to study at the Tree House School of Technology, I was amazed at his finely detailed research, analysis and writing.
There is simply no other journalist/reporter out there who is capable of doing this work, especially on a daily basis.
God bless and keep Sundance, his staff and his family. We urgently need them.
Amen Seneca Amen
Let’s hope Sundance doesn’t drink at any of the places frequented by Seth Rich …
Amen! Makes me wonder how did those in our IC/deep state become so anti-American that the truth is a threat to them?
It’s because our IC has been infiltrated for many decades since the end of WW2 with commies (and Nazis), so much so that they now run the IC, so guess what happens when you have commies running what on the surface appears to be a Constitutional Republic form of government, when in all reality they’ve managed to do a makeover right before our eyes and now the USA is in fact a Banana Republic a.k.a. an Authoritarian Democracy.
When the FBI targets journalists, they like to use smear campaigns with fake news first. See Glenn Greenwald.
Assange has been a Russian agent, a Mossad agent, a rapist, an award winning journalist, and Lady Gaga’s friend at different points.
Presidents have been boxed in by the cult of intelligence since Truman. “The Ghost”(James Jesus Angleton), head of counter-intelligence (COINTEL) for 20 years, revealed they were reading Nixon’s mail a decade before he became President during the Church committee investigations.
Back in the day during the Cold War, you couldn’t criticize the CIA or FBI in front of me: enemies everywhere, Ayers, the New Left, Black Panthers, Soviets and all commies foreign and domestic.
I defended them all. Now they have mutated and have found a new host to destroy, the defenders of freedom and Liberty. Who needs angry Muslims to do the job when you have the likes of Garland et al?
I would be really careful here leaping to conclusions. Anything that is based on something coming from Isikoff (DS CIA, just like David Ignatius and many others), plus an unnamed NSA official may or may not be true in part, but you have to look at what is the objective for which this alleged information is released and played up.
And while Julian Assange’s being held as a perpetual enemy of the state is the grossest sort of violation of basic human rights, and while it is clear the CIA was determined to set him up . . . It’s just not all that clear that he is s
Some sort of angel.
Some of what has gone on for the last five years smells an awful lot like a war between factions of the IC, while at the same time China launched unrestricted warfare at all abetted by US traitors.
Pompeo certainly talked the talk and seemed to walk the walk about China. We don’t have enough information in the fog of disinformation to conclude anything solid.
What is known is this: We are at an absolutely critical juncture where we all hang together or we all hang separately.
In the last weeks MTG and Lin Wood and Vernon Jordan and Stew Peters have gone into a war of words with each other, and now it’s Pompeo vs. Trump as the most sleeper agent ever?
Just a caution: Believe none of what you see and half of what you hear. Division serves the Enemy.
Agitprop..?
[See “Spy vs Spy” et al]
Sorry you lost me with Vernon Jones. He is a bad man. If you want to be led by this bully, rapist, whore monger, adulterer, racist, that is your choice, but I’d rather not. If he’d show some signs of putting behavior this off, that would go a long way, but nope. He needs some time out to “come to Jesus” and then prove he really did by his actions of helping people.
We should realize those who serve in government are only as good as their oath of office…if it is just a formality, then watch them, they hurt people. But if a person takes the oath seriously then there is hope they will do their dam job, which is simply to serve the people. You know like listen to what the people want, prosecute crimes, uphold the law, and stop taking those dam bribes that blind their eyes.
I totally agree.
I look at these stories like a suspicious cat.
The Panama papers,
The “leak” of selected bank account information.
Of selected individuals.
That excluded the bank accounts they didn’t want us to see.
Was perfectly timed with the current public conversation about the governments need for access to everyone’s bank accounts.
The “leaked” quote’s of general milley betraying his commander in chief.
Timed perfectly with the public’s focus being on the secretary of defense for his botched surrender and retreat in Afghanistan.
They changed the subject.
These stories are all designed to steer us towards or away from something else.
We should always listen to suspicious cat!
My thoughts exactly as I was reading the Isikoff article. It seems clear that the “message” is that Trump was in agreement with targeting of Assange and that he agreed with Pompeo, thus excusing all the down stream intel stuff as “just doing their duty.” Also, to set Trump supporters against Pompeo – but Trump knows the truth.
It was recently reported (fabricated??) that Pompeo will primary Donald Trump in 2024.
It’s Darkness at Noon all over again…
My guess is Trump is pretty good at not getting baited into fights he cant win. I would imagine that he realized that if he pardoned Assange, his political life, if not his actual life (i.e. Arkanicide) would be over – and there would be no counter movement to fight the election fraud, immigration, China, etc. Trump knows how to live another day. Who else could have survived the onslaught he endured since starting the campaign until the present day?
Probably the main reason Assange is still alive today is because POTUS did not pardon him.
Imagine you are Assange, and you’ve just been pardoned by President Trump. The jailers escort you to the exit, and out on the street you go. Where do you go? How do you get there? Can you consistently spot the spooks around you who are out to get you? President Trump could have ordered assets there to protect him, but as we know now, poop happens. [see jeffrey epstein])
Good luck. (That’s not to say Assange’s current situation is any more preferable. He is in a Franz Kafka nightmare.)
Just reading through the posts and see that many folks still do not realize there are no “sides” to pick, no good guys to trust to do the right thing, no calvary to ride in to rescue the America as they perceive America to be. All of the people in power in the House and Senate know that the election was stolen. All of them. How many of them are working to right this wrong on behalf of the American people? Yeah, thought so. It’s only people on the state and local levels who are trying.
Assange knows it better than we do. He knows a lot of the dirty stuff, where the bones are buried. The evil doers, which includes the vast majority of the House as Senate well as all of Brandon’s administration, know if they take him out the truth comes out, otherwise, they would have already done so.
Epstein did not kill himself, Seth Rich was not murdered in a botched robbery. So what big hickey is still out there that the world knows about, yet, our alphabets don’t pursue and pretend there is nothing to see there. Where is Hunter and his laptop anyway?
Excellent post.
Hunter’s laptop is in the same place Anthony Weiners laptop is….. buried! Where is the investigation/evidence into the Awan Brothers and their espionage…..buried.
The FBI has them.
The NSA Cloud has them – Bill Binney said so
…that would be the Amazon Cloud (AWS)?
Hunter’s laptop is … how Joe is blackmailed and controlled.
Truth…the way to fix what the evil ones have broke …is to burn it down..(they will)..and start over,,New Christian economy,,county by county rebuild on God’s moral law…God always wins…but…We have to get to work…Amen.
Heck, I would still like to see Anthony Weiner’s laptop.
Hunter is blowing straws on a canvas.
Here’s a fun fact. Obama commented Manning’s 35 year sentence mere days before Trump took the oath. Little attention was paid to this, including that per the terms relate was delayed until May 17, 2017 — the same day Mueller was appointed.
As you’ve detailed low these many years, there were many of what I call gambits all designed to remove Trump by forcing his resignation in the face of certain impeachment and removal by the Senate. Those included breaking Assange. After all, however courageous the man obviously is he does have a wife and children.
I’ll give you a better one. Before Obama did you think you would ever hear of the CIA Director making a secret trip to Moscow to coordinate with his Russian handlers per the frame-up/destruction of candidate Trump:
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-russia-usa-cia/cia-boss-brennan-visited-moscow-in-early-march-interfax-idUSKCN0WU0S5
Full Circle…What if the DNC was hacked by Rodney L. Joffe, who advised the Biden White House on cybersecurity and infrastructure policies. the chief cybersecurity officer at Washington tech contractor Neustar Inc., which federal civil court records show was a longtime client of Sussmann at Perkins Coie, a prominent Democratic law firm?
“Democrat” law firm…nothing “democratic” about them.
Their word game
Assange said there was no hack. IF we ever find out, I’ll be shocked if Seth Rich didn’t put the emails on a thumb drive and hand it to an Assange associate.
Bill Binney and his VIPS said as much – https://www.thenation.com/article/archive/a-new-report-raises-big-questions-about-last-years-dnc-hack/
It’s also logical. Seth Rich was a Bernie supporter (as was Assange). The timing of the release of the DNC emails was intended to stop Clinton from being crowned as the Dem nominee at the convention by revealing that the DNC conspired with Hillary against Bernie.
That anyone would turn this into the Trump campaign conspiring w/the Russians against Hillary was always absurd. Trump was focused on defeating 17 R competors.
Did we ever find out who killed Binney? We know he didn’t commit suicide.
Did the FBI ever return his files to his fiance?
They say he wore a thumb drive on a chain around his neck. He was working on a new book
*ooops I get Binney confused with the guy that got killed and can’t remember his name
Philip Haney.
That’s it! Thanks. Wonder what ever happened, but I think I know the answer….nothing. memory holed
I remember him. How many others have died (been murdered) by the deep state that we have forgotten about?
Headline from Feb. 2020. FBI investigates his murder??
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/philip-haney-death-whistleblower-obama-fbi-homeland-security-a9362061.html
Seth Rich?
Don’t forget this friend of Joffe: April D. Lorenzen, from RI. Who knew.
Joffe worked closely with another top computer scientist assigned to the Alfa project, who has used the pseudonym “Tea Leaves,” as well as masculine pronouns, in media stories to disguise her identity. The operative has been identified by her attorney as April D. Lorenzen, who supplied so-called Domain Name System (or DNS) logs from proprietary holdings — the foundation for the whole conspiracy charge — and helped compile them for the spurious report that was fed to the FBI, according to the indictment.
A registered Democrat, Lorenzen was tasked by Joffe with making a Trump connection from the data along with the researchers from Georgia Tech, where she has worked as a guest researcher since 2007. The 59-year-old Lorenzen helped found two tech firms operating out of Rhode Island where she lives — Dissect Cyber Inc. and Zetalytics LLC. Her companies have contracted with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s cybersecurity division and other agencies. In that role, she oversees one of the world’s largest and most diverse systems of “passive,” or stored, DNS records, which can be searched to uncover potential security incidents. The year before the 2016 presidential campaign, she boasted, “Massive passive DNS data is what I comb daily, providing the most interesting IPs and domains, real time.”
This is a must-read.

Let’s cancel her. I will contact GT trustees and President with this information. I will also contact the Georgia equivalent of our Board of Governors. Let’s make this thing famous.
If the US Gov extradites Assange exposing the crimes of the government will be effectively criminalized. For all of us.
And doesn’t our government know it! Lie upon lie upon lie. Even children learn that lies catch up with them. Lies by different departments, they’re bound to get tangled up somewhere.
Hi Betsy, I think they just don’t care about exposure anymore , every country in the western world has been corrupted and as a result the corrupted are drunk with power, leading them not to care about any mistakes made.
I have made many attempts to help in Assanges plight as many others here have also only to get zilch back !
Alexander Downer’s involvement I first heard from Sundance here and made sure Aussies knew .
Nobody knew about this pompous piece of sh*ts role in the Trump takedown, and still not even a whisper in any msn.
Revelation. ” Drunk on power” and “drunk with the blood of the Saints..”
And now Pompeo is a FOX New contributor. How fitting.
Pompeo is losing weight for his big debut .
lol….Fat Bas%^#d
Pompeo was posting Bible verses on Twitter this week. He’s taking that angle, like Pence loves to do.
So, is Isikoff publishing this “Pompeo was obsessed with Assange/SeeIA wanted to assassinate Assange” article now as a warning to Pompeo not to run for President?
My thoughts also. But it’s not a warning. It’s a pre-emptive strike at his reputation with the Trump base. It doesn’t matter if it’s true. It’s another version of the wrap up smear (aka circle of nothingness).
Correct
Probably.
I don’t believe the dirty on Pompeo
I don’t want to believe it, but I never underestimate the ability for any DC gang member to disappoint.
Scorecard to date:
We do not want the following people to ever be President of the United States:
*Mike Pompeo
*Mike Pence
*Nikki Haley
We do not want the following people to ever be Vice-President of the United States:
*Kristi Noem
(All are currently running for those positions.)
Please add to the list, and we’ll try to keep track.
We want “Sarah Palin!” and 6 years of the left setting their hair on fire…
I wanted her in 2016 🙂
No to Tom Cotton too
No to Dan Crenshaw
You seem to forget…We The People have NO fair …honest elections…
Don’t believe the hit on Pompeo
Yeah. And Trust Sessions too!!!
And who do you suggest we might want? That everyone would agree on of course. Even President Trump can’t pass that gate.
Skeptical minds want to know.
Unaminous agreement produces a Biden
Maryland Governor Hogan
His former chief of staff Roy McGrath was just indicted for wire fraud. He also secretly recorded four phone calls with Gov. Larry Hogan in 2020. Sounds like he had dirt on his boss and more will come out on him.
I’m from Florida: We don’t want Scott or Rubio!
What a tangled web they weave! Woven past tense, here’s to hoping and praying that God’s mills catch up with their asses!
He was under threat of the second impeachment. Guaranteed the Senate would have convicted if he had pardoned Assange.
How ignoble and lowlife – it is beyond scum the people in government. Can the ICA be redeemed? I tend to think not. It should be destroyed. It really sickens me.
Why is Assange allowed to live? Are they afraid of a deadman’s switch? Why didn’t Pres. Trump pardon Assange?
They are more likely afraid of Assange’s associates.
Perhaps Trump figured that the only way the dirt from Assange would become public knowledge was after his death. Leaving Assange to rot in prison would accomplish that end sooner than a pardon would. It’s really too bad that Assange has to be such an honorable guy.
Trump would not do that. That would be evil, and Trump is not.
zephyrbreeze: this is off subject but I’ve been looking for your posts so I could tell you something. I am in southern Utah also. On Saturday 6 Nov 2021 there will be a “Iron/Washington Open House” in Cedar at Staheli West on Airport Road regarding election integrity. The keynote speaker in Cedar is Seth Keshel and there will be live broadcasting from a SLC venue featuring Jovan Hutton Pulitzer. The flyer for our area is not yet complete but we’re trying to get the word out. You can see the SLC venue info at utahfreedomcoalition.org in their calendar section.
Got it. Thanks.I will follow up.
Please do, zeph! I’m also a “neighbor” of yours. I’ll be at the canvassing table if you go to the Keshel event.
Trump trusted Pompeo. Maybe Pompeo convinced him Assange was a bad guy.
Pre-Election- Less Chaos, prevent media getting advantage, quieter the better!
Post-Election-Scorched Earth…MAGA, KAG to the MAX!!
Everyone must get involved in Ending 2020 Lie/Theft!!!
Timing is everything…
It is without question that the following is true
“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.”
But, it performs an equally important purpose. It serves to protect the CCP by distraction. I think we can say with some assurance that the CCP and the Intelligence apparatus to include the U.K. work together.
Heh Ho Whada Ya Know, Mike Pompeo has Gotta Go!
I submit by definition that we know Mike Pompeo – He was the CIA Director. He was and is aligned with the CCP. It follows, that the Russians were the victims of distraction, since the Chinese and the Russians have been at conflict for many years.
I would like to suggest that we ask what was the CCP doing while Assange and the Russian issue was taking place?
China was infiltrating U.S. university research facilities for one – at least Pompeo sounded the alarm on that
The Russians were purposely chosen to be the election interference scapegoats. Had they not been chosen, Trump might have made an alliance with them against the CCP. But because of Trump-Russia, Trump had to pretend to hate the Russians.
In New Hampshire, former democrat Rep. Paul Hodes has a Saturday radio show out of liberal Concord. During the height of the Russia-Trump frenzy, he would do Boris and Natasha-accented riffs mocking President Trump. Then he would laugh at his own cleverness. Listening to him make light of an accusation of treason, I knew he knew it was b.s., but he was happy to play along to damage Republicans, giving no consideration to the greater harm being done to the country. Just like all those others who promoted the dastardly lie.
Working 24/ in Wuhan…
I hope Constipation Face Brennan gets mostly Peaceful Karma. Get the Gallows ready.
The Mason Mafia is everywhere. Evil Scum of the Earth People, they are.
I have felt so sorry for Julian Assange for years now! It is just so EVIL what they have done to him a true whistle blower / journalist. God Bless him and may his suffering stop somehow someway!
Amen. And may he not take his secrets to the grave.
Both Truman and Kennedy despised the CIA and they had plenty of reason to.
And, Eisenhower
The million dollar question is why did Trump appoint so many bad actors? Sessions was just incompetent Barr? A pro bono rep for murdering woman and kids? Father a friend of Epstein. Haspel? Ran anti Trump ops from London so he appoints her to cover up and conceal everything. Wray? What needs to be said of this political masterclass. Flynn? a buddy in Obama WH who travels overseas to make a call to a Russian that is guaranteed to be widely intercepted and distributed.
It’s a Broadway play and we’re all watching it
Anybody’s guess how this will end
I always figured that Trump’s forte would be economical, which he excelled at. I know that Trump always promised to drain the swamp, but once he became president, the IC had him by the balls. He was likely forced by circumstances to make the choices he made. And he was likely advised that the people he ended up appointing were “safe” choices. I believe pretty much everyone in DC is part of the swamp, and outsiders would have been like lambs led to the slaughter.
Oh yeah Wilbur Ross was a Rothschild henchman who bailed Trump out of one of his bankruptcies.
That’s what I keep asking myself, Why did Trump keep making so many bad choices???? Where is Haspel and that guy who worked with Hunter and Devin Archer(who spilled the beans about the 10% for the Big guy)? Wasn’t there going to be a decision to extradite Assange to the US? I thought I read that if that happened , there was talk he would be “Epsteined”
Because there weren’t any good choices, except, perhaps, Grenell
I remember reading that Assange had a kill switch-that if he was in trouble, his data would be automatically released in spite of what was done to him. He should have done that.
The Pompano’s

Our government disgusts me. Assange is more moral than any of those who were acting against him.
The irony, they all thought they were saving the Government and U.S standing with the World by trying to controll the outsider. Look at where we are today ! Just how far is this snowball gonna roll.
Why didn’t Dana Rhorbacher let the world know what Asante said?
why hasn’t DJT?
Because President Trump didn’t speak with Assange.
And maybe neither Rhorbacher or Trump wanted dead.
If I were Trump I would want to know… what’s keeping him from asking Rhorbacher? assuming he hasn’t.
Never assume. 😉 “Complicated business, folks.”
I think DJT is going to run in 2024, and he has to be very careful what he says about certain things. There are still a lot of Americans that consider Assange to be a traitor. I know it sucks, but had the Brandon’s not cheated so badly, Trump may have been able to fix a few things over the last 6 months.
Because you don’t want to let the enemy know what you know – that way they make mistakes by assuming things and doing actions that further expose the real enemies. we have seen that big time over the last 5 years. Then one take down of the perps, I hope soon.
Trump wanted to pardon both Assange and Snowden. McConnell threatened Trump with a guilty verdict on the second impeachment if he followed through with the pardons.
He should’ve done it, anyway.
Sundance and others have brilliantly exposed the gory details of the conspiracy and identified many of the more exposed conspirators. He has also exposed the depth of the club as being pretty much anyone wanting to be in the club to perpetuate their own careers. All others with any degree of power are marginalized by the press or their peers and possibly threatened to not rock the boat lest dirt be cast on their reputation, even if untrue. But the puppet masters are, indeed, the intelligence agencies who can share, manipulate or manufacture dirt to destroy any opposition. Even if the Patriot Act was not renewed next time does anyone truly believe the IF would stop? There are not only trillions at stake, there is too much power to give up.
I’m calling BS about
Mike Pompeo
Based on what – Sundance being dead wrong on the regular?
WAKE UP
Remember the good old days when ADM Rogers was the one true patriot that was going to save the republic? Well looked him up recently. He works for several foreign start ups with strong ties to foreign intel services (by that i mean owned by) Team 8 displays him prominently as working for them. So ADM Rogers has zero background in tech or startups He does know inner working of NSA though. Remember Gen Flynn was being silenced because he knows where the bodies are buried Well I’m still waiting for the life long Democrat to spill the beans
Damn!! Back in the day it was Ole Bill Preistrap that was the soon to be hero He was da man After everyone gets done with the flow charts of how the next hero is going to save the day Please do not look into Trump himself A failed businessman that was burning through daddies money The people that bailed him out run Trump Inc and give him an allowance for his PR and name Shhhhh Trump is just a semi polished version of Dan Bilzerian If that is too much reality the softer version is Trump is a political train wreck because he doesn’t know anything but liberal circles He wouldn’t know a real conservative if he saw one in the wild Good news true believers Trump could not give you the shots and then destroy country with mandate etc He will rise like a pheonix to save the day from what he and Fauci started
It is now clear that the inner circle of the Obama White House, including the former President himself, were coordinators of the entire Russia hoax from inception through the Mueller inquisition.
A coordinated conspiracy run from the Obama White House
That all elements of the senior departments of the major agencies of the United States Government were illegally weaponized to destroy a political opponent. A coordinated assault on the constitution and the Republic.
To sabotage an incoming President. Overthrow the government of the United States. Abuse their authorities to openly frame, smear and seek the destruction and criminal indictment of a duly elected President using the evidence they themselves fabricated.
Clapper said that everything he and John Brennan had done prior to and during the 2016 election was explicitly on Barack Obama’s orders.

Sundance asks: hy would CIA Director Mike Pompeo be so concerned about Julian Assange and Wikileaks in April 2017?
Pompeo was incensed with WL in April 2017 since they just released Vault 7 which was a major security leak, as well as a major embarrassment.
If Assange hadn’t done this…..who knows?
That was my understanding as well. I assumed Trump would pardon Assange and those in his administration would support that. But with the Vault 7 releases, the CIA was gutted and was out for revenge.
Personally, I don’t think Assange did anything wrong… CIA incompetence led to this. And if Wikileaks had Vault 7, you can bet America’s adversaries had it as well.
But Pompeo was in an impossible position… if he supported Trump in pardoning Assange there would have been a revolt at the CIA.
The whole CIA plan to target Assange was unconscionable nevertheless. IMHO
Read the first time. Needs to be read a second time and fully digested before commenting further. Wow!
The other person who claimed he could prove there was no Russian hack but a simple USB stick download is Kim Dotcom.
Let’s also not forget William Binney, former Technical Director of NSA who also co firmed this.
Knowing all this we still allow this fake news?
Interesting compilation!
Come, come now everyone…….it is patently obvious per the Bullschift Durham investigation that the Staid & Stoic Institutions of the Un-Intligence Community were duped, flim flammed I tell ya’ by those no good capitalist billionaires. As I text this, Bullschift Durham is going after those capitalist cretins who tried their best to pull the wool over the eyes of the Un-Intelligence Unpatriotic Community. Just you wait & see……no wrongdoing by any g-men???
occams: vault 7 release was a warning shot to the corruptors = BACK DOWN, OR ELSE.
the corruptors had their math wrong. They never conceived Assange would actually release vault 7 material.
the corruptors NOW BECOME VERY AWARE that assange and wikileaks is quite capable and motivated to OUT THEM WITH SPECIFIC NAMES AND FALSIFIABLE INFORMATION> THIS EXTENDS TO NOT ONLY THE HIGHEST LEVELS IN GOVT< BUT ALSO GLOBALLY AND MANY CORPORATE ICONS. HE HAS THIS INFORMATION> IT DOES EXIST.
so the question isn’t so much why they would target and collect him up.
the question is, WHY HAVENT THEY MADE HIM TAKE A DIRT NAP YET?
you have to think like a spook.
a. not having the operational advantage, the best option is to KEEP assange as a bargaining chip. “two can play this game”.
b. the BIGGEST reason to keep him alive is that they CAN CONTINUE TO MONITOR ALL TRANSMISSION AND LOCATE WHERE< WHO<AND HOW this kyrponite is stored…(they actually believe they can mitigate or eliminate this data…they can’t…assange and his crew are far more intelligent and spent an enormous amount of energy and genius designing how to keep these secrets secure.
c. Keeping Assange alive, also presents a veneer of a narrative, that HE IS A DANGER TO NATIONAL SECURITY. And that he is aligned with the russian bear. And so, they have not only cast doubt IN ADVANCE of any potentially very harmful release (to them), they have been clever to weaponize and influence every single power player to GET ON BOARD AND REPEAT AFTER ME: Assange is truly the devil and he wants to watch the world burn! (if you really contemplate how the prior administration and THIS one contained so many people working aggressively to CREATE CHAOS…It’s all part of the plan to make the pressure in OTHER AREAS..>Because at some point they need to people to be in disarray, confused and worked out so they are more compliant to new orders…New Orders: oh, that damning release WITH NAMES…You see this is THE ENEMY exploiting OUR WEAKNESS to take America Down. (most americans will believe this.)
d. When everything else fails your only viable options are to CONTROL THE NARRATIVE. This explains WHY the cia has weaponized the Media. It was always the plan to work into those orgs, but NOW WITH MAJOR CORPORATE AND PRIVATE CLUB PLAYERS ON THE LINE AND FACING SERIOUS TROUBLE FROM A WIKILEAKS RELEASE…Of course they got on board…It wasn’t only complicit ..it was an act to save their own skin. WE WILL CRUCIFY ASSANGE and hammer him and make up all manner of fiction, be it rape charges, lock picking encryption, recruiting soldiers, banging pamela anderson (wait, not they didn’t make that up…julian, you dog! lol )
e. Now the part of russia that most ppl just don’t understand. Julian is at least as much of threat to russia as the he is to the US corruptors. Why? It does not get reported, but assange and wikileaks MADE FOOLS of russia. On many occassions. Those oligarths? They have names. They have associates and business partners IN THE US< IN THE UK< IN CCP<IN VENEZUELA<IN CANADA<<NEARLY EVERYWHERE…Wikileaks has the goods ON ALL THAT TRAFFIC. It implicates the BILLION OF DOLLARS OF WEALTH THAT PUTIN ACQUIRED SIMPLY BY ALLOWING THIS KIND OF PRIVATE CLUB CORRUPTION. (see navarnlty for more information about this Hint: he followed the wikileaks style of reporting!)
I agree with every single presentation of fact lined out by sundance. I don’t dispute any of this terrific analysis is unsound.
At this point Assange is actually no longer a threat….It’s that material hanging out there, looming,,,,waiting for the right moment to lay it on FOR MAXIMUM IMPACT.
Spoiler: it will be a central part of stage 3 revolution. The awareness of the degree and scope of corruption AND PURE EVIL BEHAVIOR WILL SHOCK EVEN THE MOST HARDENED COWBOYS.
Get ready…
It’s going to be really dangerous soon.
God Bless America
“assange and his crew”
Seems an equilibrium between IC and Wikileaks.
Wikileaks is more than just Assange.
So IC taking him out serves no purpose.
Wikileaks hasn’t released the “kryptonite” because IC hasn’t taken out Assange.
What will break this balance?
And don’t forget Craig Murray. Silly bugger hinted/boasted he was an intermediary to Assange.
Now he’s banged up, too, in Scotland after a very dodgy trial based on innuendo – for reporting on Alex Salmond’s made up of whole cloth trial.
Round and round she goes.
“here it is critical to accept that many people inside the trump administration were there to control events, not to facilitate a political agenda from a political outsider.” try telling that to a vote red, vote r person. trump’s biggest failure was trusting the republican party and appointing whomever they told him instead of appointing competent people that he vetted. if you remember soon after he was elected he got rid of most of the people that helped him get elected. to this day he still gives no indication that he is aware of that.
I agree Pompeo is very deep state, he plays a good game though many people still trust him, hope they liked Gina Haspel (his protege) and where he got us
So, among all the other sordid details the Deep State is now attempting to lay the blame for their skullduggery off on President Trump. As if it were he who wanted to assassinate Assange and put this plan into motion. It was “Trump’s” CIA and intel community, after all.
Devious in the extreme.
‘This is what FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith was convicted for doing.’
