Thoughts from Tom Luongo
Just when you thought the U.S. government couldn’t get more horrific than Eric Holder and Obama, we get Mike Pompeo and John Bolton. Trump is an irrelevant figurehead at this point.
So, now that’s the story. Manning and Assange were working together as active co-conspirators. But, note, Assange isn’t being charged with espionage.
Given the history of Manning’s treatment it will not be hard to discredit her as a witness if Assange ever gets a trial, which he won’t. He’ll be thrown in a hole alongside Manning.
Publishing this indictment is fodder for the MSM to turn public opinion away from Assange with Trump’s base, the traditional, patriotic part of the MAGA crowd. They will focus on this charge that Assange worked with Manning to try and hack the computer to steal secrets.
It’ll be a
moment of healing between the MAGApedes and the Maddow Brigade. Julian Assange is the new Emmanuel Goldstein, folks. Book it. …
The timing of this indictment [Mar 2018] and the complete takeover of Trump’s administration by raving neocons John Bolton (hired 3/23) and Mike Pompeo (hired 3/30) can’t be dismissed as coincidence either. …
Pompeo declared Wikileaks a ‘non-state hostile foreign intelligence agency’ in October 2017, setting the stage to ensure that Assange is not given protection as a journalist.
It also dovetails with the main charge of attempted hacking. That Assange wasn’t a passive player in this but an active agent, working with a foreign country.
If he did that then then he can be smeared to having done it again with the Russians to hack the DNC servers to get Podesta’s emails. … H
illary herself weighing in on the subject, gloating that Assange will “now have to answer for what he has done.” …
Worse,
Assange will now be used to distract us for another year and a half through next year’s election. Present as a ghost, like Paul Manafort, but silenced through gag orders, solitary confinement and judicial prerogative.
The Takeover of Trump
The machinations of the Trump administration to bring [Hillary] to justice were a … complete fable. … If Trump’s plan is to use Assange to get Hillary, he would have gotten him out of the U.K. ages ago.
Right after this indictment was issued [Mar 2018] the tenor of the Trump administration changed completely. What was a low simmer of foreign policy betrayals became a complete roiling boil after these two psychopathic losers, Bolton and Pompeo, took office. They were put in place to keep Trump both ignorant of anything important and toeing the party line.
The only thing more craven than Theresa May doing the Deep State’s bidding betraying her people was
Mr. “I Love Wikileaks'” sad reaction to the arrest saying, “I don’t know anything about Wikileaks.” This from a man who was caught on tape over a hundred times praising them for destroying Hillary Clinton’s chances to become president. …
What a pathetic excuse for a grown man Donald Trump is. When they come for him no one will bat an eye. …
Bolton, Pompeo, Vice President Mike Pence, and May’s foreign office spent the entire year ratcheting up pressure on Ecuador’s president Lenin Moreno.
Corrupt to the gills, Moreno, like Trump, is a spineless fool who cut Assange off from the world, treated him like a prisoner and eventually sold him to the U.S./U.K. Deep State for 30 pieces of silver in the form of $
4.2 billion in IMF development aid. …
The empire will not go gently into that good night. They can’t. They have power and they will execute it to punish those who defy them.
The message is clear:
Drag their secrets into the light and you will be crushed for the most innocuous thing.
In Assange’s case, evading a warrant for a crime a foreign government dropped the charges for. Let that sink in for a moment.
The British government begged Sweden to not drop the charges against Assange because they needed the legal pretext to grab him after making a deal with Moreno to revoke his asylum and send him to the U.S. …
it’s about protecting the Empire. …
this is about shoring up the Empire after an existential brush with the truth. Like the entire RussiaGate narrative itself,
all these government trolls focus on is the threat to their security, to their ability to operate in the shadows performing horrific acts of violence with our money in our name.
The approved media — those they control — shift the discussion away from the crimes exposed.
They quickly distract us with how this happened, not what was exposed. Attack the messenger … Alinsky the living crap out of them via our Two Minutes of Hate Media. …
I’m confident, however, that this mess is too big for even them to clean up. The legacy of Julian Assange and Brexit is that they are symptoms of a much deeper revolt against the Empire. We can see them for what they are now. And while they keep trying to win little battles they are losing a war of hearts and minds.
