You don't have any credibility nickers. Danno is 100% right about what happened. Trump was and is a lose canon. Trump gave money to whoever would help him. Clinton, Romney, anyone. And Trump did. And Trump won the GOP nomination. And Trump won the Presidency. His trip to the white house redpilled him but he won't sacrifice his family well being for your libertarian wet dreams.

Ya I believed that when Rand was running, I could have written that post myself at the time. After Rand dropped out, over time that whole theory sort of eroded. I mean, there are parts that could be true still, like pushing Trump to beat Rand, but the narrative that Trump is controlled kinda disappears. After Rand dropped out, Trump could have became much more establishment oriented. But he didn't, he ended up discrediting the mainstream media, the establishment's tool of control over the people. Why would they do that after Rand already dropped out? They already have two puppets running against each other, there was no reason why they needed to obliterate their primary tool of control over the people.

You are the best proof that Trump is a great example of controlled opposition. It doesn't matter what kind of anti liberty thing Trump does, you spin an excuse for it. Trump bombs Syria? "Great! It's not a neocon boondoggle." There's absolutely no evidence that if Hillary had become president she would have invaded Syria and created a "neocon boondoggle." She would have most likely bombed Syria....just like Trump. The TSA increases groping after Trump is elected? No real opposition from you. Jeff Sessions threatens Assange and legal marijuana? As long as Trump isn't personally kicking in your door on a drug raid or hasn't personally signed Assange's arrest/death warrant, you're convinced that everything is okay. The "deep state" couldn't have picked a better puppet than George Soros funded, Jeffery pedophile Epstein praising Donald J. Trump. And in order to keep you on team Trump, the "deep state" has to keep "rouging up" Trump on occasion. It's like in the undercover cop movies where the cop has gone into the station to give a report and then says "Okay...you know you have to give me a black eye before I leave so I can maintain my street cred right?"

Mordan answer me this one question then. If Ron Paul legitimately lost then why did Reince Preibus change the rules for the convention?

To give the illusion of unity. If Ron Paul won he likely would've been able to work on the rules himself with all his delegates.

You don't get it. Trump was "redpilled" long before the he ran for president. He chose the juicy steak.

The juicy steak is always the right choice.

Installing malware and spreading viruses worldwide, hacking computer systems, and then intentionally leaving markers to falsely blame other countries, spying on citizens through their Samsung televisions and I-Phones (or is the cIa-Phones), interfering in the political process, using their power to pressure elected officials to direct policy and subvert the will of the electorate, interfering in media - all this taking place on a daily basis and together totaling millions of felony crimes.

Yet they have no concern over these crimes. Not lifting a finger to prosecute or stop. Instead they must bring their power to target the truth tellers exposing the crimes and evil.

[... Trump] is doing what he was planning all along, which is to save western civilization.

At first I was like ...

Well, not always...

If Pompeo is so maniacally disturbed about the leaking of deep state crimes, abuse and violations of the Constitution,
the best way to stop such leaks is to end the crimes, abuse and violations of the Constitution. Problem solved.

 

[AZJoe]

Liberty Blitzkrieg breaks down Pompeo's manic rant against Wikileaks as Psychological Projection:

that the U.S. Justice Department is trying to figure out a way to prosecute the world’s most courageous and effective news publisher, Wikileaks’ Julian Assange, … [is] further evidence of the incredible insecurity and desperation of the American establishment. ...

CIA director Mike Pompeo decided to respond with an unhinged nervous breakdown during a recent speech to the Saudi funded Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). … Here are a few excerpts ... courtesy of the CIA:

“WikiLeaks walks like a hostile intelligence service and talks like a hostile intelligence service. … it overwhelmingly focuses on the United States, while seeking support from anti-democratic countries and organizations.”​

This is what’s called “projection.”

“It is time to call out WikiLeaks for what it really is – a non-state hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors like Russia. … We know this because Assange and his ilk make common cause with dictators today. Yes, they try unsuccessfully to cloak themselves and their actions in the language of liberty and privacy; in reality, however, they champion nothing but their own celebrity. Their currency is clickbait; their moral compass, nonexistent…. Their mission: personal self-aggrandizement through the destruction of Western values. … They do not care about the causes and people they claim to represent.”​

More projection.

“No, Julian Assange and his kind are not the slightest bit interested in improving civil liberties or enhancing personal freedom.”​

[More Projection]


[Assange] has created the most powerful and impactful media organization of the 21st century, which is precisely why [NSA/CIA/Deep State] hate his guts. ...

“So we face a crucial question: What can we do about this? What can and should CIA, the United States, and our allies do about the unprecedented challenge posed by these hostile non-state intelligence agencies? … we can no longer allow Assange and his colleagues the latitude to use free speech values against us. … It ends now.”​

The first thing to appreciate from the above excerpts is how uncollected and unhinged Mike Pompeo appears to be, and let’s also not forget that Donald Trump appointed Pompeo of his own volition. … Much of his commentary centers around simple name calling, for instance referring to Assange as a “narcissist,” a “false wizard” and a “demon” in the span of just a few short paragraphs. His seemingly unstable emotional state certainly doesn’t give me a lot faith in the CIA, not that I had much to begin with….


Pompeo’s entire rant is filled with projection. … Psychological Projection … For instance, he accuses Assange of “seeking support from anti-democratic countries and organizations.” I mean, that’s basically the CIA’s mission statement, and its entire history is filled to the brim with “seeking support from anti-democratic countries and organizations.”

Moving along, he states “Assange and his ilk make common cause with dictators today,” and also says about Wikileaks, “they do not care about the causes and people they claim to represent.” Both of these statements summarize U.S. foreign policy to a tee. After all, one of America’s closest foreign allies, Saudi Arabia, is not only one of the world’s most repressive, undemocratic states, it is also one of the leading propagators of radical Islamic terrorism ...

Finally, Pompeo justifies his attack on the First Amendment by pushing a false “us versus them mentality.” … This implies that Assange and Wikileaks represent “the enemy,” while the CIA is somehow some shining white night. Unfortunately for Pompeo, this isn’t how many Americans see the situation.

Prosecutors have struggled with whether the First Amendment precluded the prosecution of Assange, but now believe they have found a way to move forward. … The DOJ apparently spent 7 years trying to figure out how to void the First Amendment, yet it couldn’t jail a single bank executive during that entire time. What does this tell you about where the government’s priorities lie? … It is an imperial agenda to protect and secure the wealth and power of the few against the well being and liberty of the many. The U.S. empire doesn’t work for the people, it works for a small handful of elitists and insiders who have completely gamed a corrupt system for their advantage. The American people are starting to figure this out, partly due to the journalism of Wikileaks, which is why the deep state hates Assange so passionately.

The American empire is becoming increasingly insecure and desperate, which also makes it increasingly dangerous. Empires don’t reform, and as we can see from Trump’s first 100 days …

Real whistleblowers get ignored by the state media, and when they get some attention, it’s mostly to describe them as moronic conspiracy theorists, with too much imagination.
Whistleblowing is one of the greatest hazards to your health…

Fake whistleblowers get lots of attention from the press and sometimes even become the topic of a glossy movie.

I hope I’m not the only one to see this as a desperate ploy to give Julian Assange the credibility he doesn’t deserve.
I label this news – fake.

“No, Julian Assange and his kind are not the slightest bit interested in improving civil liberties or enhancing personal freedom.”

This is actually true.

“So we face a crucial question: What can we do about this? What can and should CIA, the United States, and our allies do about the unprecedented challenge posed by these hostile non-state intelligence agencies? … we can no longer allow Assange and his colleagues the latitude to use free speech values against us. … It ends now.”

I now what "we" can do, accuse him of being a terrible traitor, so all of the "conspiracy theorists" follow him like a flock of sheep.

No. You probably are the only one that thinks her he's been locked in the embassy for years, sought for imprisonment by Washington, smeared with false charges, all because the NSA/CIA/deep state really like that he is exposing their crimes.

Most people here are of a libertarian bent, at least they used to be. What brings you here?

Actually holding fast to bedrock principles doesn't seem to be as popular around here as it once was. I guess that's another "benefit" we've gotten frommthe Trump phenomenon. Can't you feel the freedom?

Wikileaks hasn't been exposing the crimes by the NSA/CIA.
Wikileaks is creating a diversion to keep us from finding out what'2 really going on...

 

[AZJoe]

A little Ron Paul Throwback speaking on Wikileaks and Assange in Congress:

"Do the America People deserve know the truth regarding the ongoing wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen?...

Why is the hostility directed at Assange, the publisher, and not at our governments failure to protect classified information? ...

Which has resulted in the greatest number of deaths: lying us into war or Wikileaks revelations or the release of the Pentagon Papers? ...

If Assange can be convicted of a crime for publishing information that he did not steal, what does this say about the future of the first amendment and the independence of the internet? ...

Could it be that the real reason for the near universal attacks on Wikileaks is more about secretly maintaining a seriously flawed foreign policy of empire than it is about national security? ...

Is there not a huge difference between releasing secret information to help the enemy in a time of declared war, which is treason, and the releasing of information to expose our government lies that promote secret wars, death and corruption? ...

Was it not once considered patriotic to stand up to our government when it is wrong?"

​

And some more wisdom from the good Dr. Paul on Wikileaks:

"In an empire of lies, the truth has become treason. …

These individuals risk it all, not for their own wealth and glory, but to inform us of what is being done to us and in our name. Their releases are both heroic and pro-American. What have we learned from whistle-blowers Edward Snowden and Chelsea Manning or WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and others? …

Our consumer products have been turned into listening devices that the government can turn on and off at will. Those who ruled East Germany could only fantasize about such technology …

Revelations last week that our televisions may actually be watching us? Has the CIA been reading George Orwell’s 1984 as an instruction manual? …

We cannot entrust our life, liberty and happiness to an unelected shadow government that operates in secret and is accountable to no one. …

Whistle-blowers are the truth-seekers, and we must demand the truth. Who does not want to know the truth? Sadly, in an empire of lies, the truth has become treason."​

Ron Paul: "In a free society we're supposed to know the truth. In a society where truth becomes treason, then we're in big trouble. And now, people who are revealing the truth are getting into trouble for it. This whole notion that Assange, who's an Australian, that we want to prosecute him for treason. I mean, aren't they jumping to a wild conclusion? This is media, isn't it? I mean, why don't we prosecute The New York Times or anybody that releases this?”

 

[Anti Federalist]

So they are just going to assassinate Assange? I hardly think that is the Jeff Sessions way. The man is all about law and order.

No, they're just not talking to him at all:

They’ve (DOJ) been unwilling to have any discussion at all, despite our repeated requests, that they let us know what Mr Assange’s status is in any pending investigations
