Assange and the Machinations of the CIA

Rising this morning to the news from Yahoo concerning the CIA planning the Julian Assange assassination was stomach-turning. That said, this story is certainly not 'Breaking News.' Max Blumenthal of The Grayzone reported extensively on this story more than a year ago. https://thegrayzone.com/.

Indeed the use of 3 anonymous sources in the Yahoo article only adds to its credibility.

The IC and mainstream media's attacks on Assange and Wikileaks have been unrelenting for over 10 years. Most of these attacks have come in the form of personal smears and character assassination. None of the documents Wikileaks have published has been denied by the agencies or people involved, including the CIA and the DNC. Instead, these organizations launched a propaganda campaign to dismiss Assange entirely. DNC operatives chose to call Assange a Russian agent, sheep herding their members to believe that it was Assange's fault that their beloved Hillary Clinton lost the 2016 election. The contents of the emails revealed flagrant corruption in the Clinton 2016 campaign, but in these times, the empire shoots the messenger while the actual criminals go unaccountable.

When Donald Trump began screaming about a 'deep state,' it was viewed as a conspiracy. I remember being attacked online for mentioning this term. However, the deep state does exist as the permanent government of the United States. This includes all the alphabet agencies such as the DOD, CIA, and NSA. Many of these IC actors have been serving through several White House administrations. They're not elected and seem to call all the shots.

I recall during the Trump regime, the leader of the opposition, Chuck Schumer, said on a Sunday cable news show: "You don't screw with the Intelligence Community because they can mess with you 6 days from Sunday." This explains the massive 4-year Russia-gate fiasco wherein the end, no collusion was found. This was undoubtedly a distraction from the actual crimes of empire. However, this also reveals the extent to which the permanent government will destroy anyone who goes against their interests.

The ex-head of the CIA, Mike Pompeo, truly represents the utter vileness of the deep state. He admitted that the CIA lies, steals, and cheats at a 'talk' to his fellow criminals – the crowd applauded. He has evidently denied the allegations that the CIA planned an assassination attempt on Mr. Assange. But, of course, he is lying.

I recommend reading the Yahoo article and the Blumenthal article. The difference between them is that Yahoo managed to place Assange colluding with the Russians – an absolute lie. I mean, really, the mainstream media cannot help themselves, mainly when they work hand in glove with the military-industrial complex.

Julian Assange has been in jail for 2 years on a 1-year sentence for violating his bail. This is unprecedented. The power of the empire. They can break the law without consequence. The truth-tellers, real journalists, and whistle-blowers are tortured and placed in jail, while the war criminals make a minimum of $100,000 in speaking fees. Of course, everything is upside down, but hey, that's what we get living under oligarchic corporatism and an unaccountable deep state.

When our governments' believe they have the right to assassinate a journalist, we have to admit, this is far from democracy, and these people are insane.
