    That is exactly why he is being brought to the US.

    If Assange is found guilty of conspiring with Manning under this indictment, which incorporates the Espionage Act, this will be a blow to the First Amendment. It will criminalize the news-gathering process and will be a precedent for future cases concerning leaks. This will be particularly so since substantially all leaks in the future will be computer-generated.

    And so, while the indictment by itself is bad enough, there still is more to come, such as further indictments of Assange. All we are seeing now is the tip of the legal iceberg.

    Granted to many this might appear to be yet another MAGA flip flop compared to his pre-election stances, it is possible that when he used the L-word about wikileaks back when he he was self-funding his campaign whereas post-election MAGA policies could be being influelnced by his alleged political slave master (who reportedly happens to be a primo neocon and had called for US to bomb Iran while conversing with controversial Rabbi Shmuley.
    One of the various possible plausible explanations of this latest flip-floppish 5D chess move to confuse media or even neocons, Bolton, Pompeo, Iraq war architect Eliot Abrams, Jeffrey Epstein 'sweet dealer' etc in his cabinet? Or could be under pressure from NEXODUS neocons who have joined GOP.

    This is a true watershed moment. Right now the people who pretend to be journalists and sell fake news to advertisers are cheering on the arrest of a real journalist. Some of the same people that cooked the Russian collusion hoax are now using Russiagate to silence anything that is critical to the military industrial complex. That's what he was telling us with the book he.had when he was arrested.

    Yes , to quote Caitlin Johnston - "those journalists who fall on the wrong side of this never intend or intended to do any kind of journalism in their lives. … They are lackeys, bootlickers, mindless repeaters of power, blue-tick propagandists who never ever intend to upset even one of their plutocratic masters. ... their job is to protect power, not to bring it to account. They don’t care because they are not journalists."

    Tom Luongo has a great line summing up the Trump delusion syndrome sufferers that are now defending the persecution of the truth teller Assange (whose exposure of truth helped prevent Hillary from becoming the queen of the empire) as the "moment of healing between the MAGApedes and the Maddow Brigade. Julian Assange is the new Emmanuel Goldstein"

    I predict they'll keep him in solitary confinement, keep him isolated from press or public, and him and his attorneys under gag orders and other judicial restrictions.
    The puppet masters handling Trump already pre-selected the venue - the Espionage court in Virginia. The court will do whatever bidding the deep state, intelligence lords want.
    Assange will be psychologically tortured - isolated in solitary and kept from visitors like they did to Manning, and to Maria Butina and until she agreed to cooperate with prosecutors to enter a plea. Perhaps they'll force him to exist stripped completely naked 24/7 in his isolation like they did to Manning "for his own protection".

    All the while they will continue to leak whatever statements, or information they wish with the lapdog press dutifully repeating unquestionable was they carry out their role as propaganda arm for the empire. Keep Assange a distraction for the 2020 elections. Smear any candidates that defend Assange's heroics as "unpatriotic", "Supporting espionage", "supporting Russia", or whatever other scary distraction nonsense to keep focus away form the antics and crimes of the empire.

    Assange is a Hero! He did the right thing despite all risk, and Empire rules and threats to the contrary. Assange is more of an American patriot than our idiot puppet-in-chief or any of his deep state goons partaking in this persecution.
    God Bless Julian Assange!

    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. … Hillary 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.

    Possible Presidential Pardon?

    The FAILURE of the United States Government to operate and maintain an
    Honest Money System , which frees the ordinary man from the clutches of the money manipulators, is the single largest contributing factor to the World's current Economic Crisis.

    With statements like these, I kind of felt like he may be controlled opposition, at-least in the beginning.

    "I'm constantly annoyed that people are distracted by false conspiracies such as 9/11, when all around we provide evidence of real conspiracies, for war or mass financial fraud."
    Wasnt it obvious that we were killing thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of civilians?

There are a lot of people with conservative type social and fiscal values who are just getting plain sick of all the nonsense.

    If we closely examine Ron Paul's past 3 presidential runs we can see in great detail how this movement has been down graded to as Nancy P would say to "astro-turf". The media down played Ron Paul as much as possible and labeled us racist terrorist. The IRS has been weaponized against conservative political action groups. We don't need more evidence that tptb want us silenced at any cost.

    If by some miracle Ron had won he would be having a lot of problems. The ptb are not going to let any president do what the conservatives want. All Trump has really done for us is show how big the conservative movement is. I don't know if our values will ever get anything out of politics but, a bunch of lip service.

    I think Candice Owens, Sara Palin, Catherine Austin Fitts, and Roseanne Barr ought to take over the conservative political arena it is an extraordinary combination of beauty, brains,guts and, charisma.

    At the end of the day folks this is all just a dream in someone else's mind.

    Except for the opportunist bi-partisan neocons/money baggers/Israel-Firsters who are allegedly engaging in political slave mastering of MAGA, for the America-First part of MAGA crowd there should be some sympathy given the setbacks of 8 years of Barack Hussein Obama regime that in turn gave birth to MAGA Messiah who was to set things right again and restore hope. Tragically, MAGA's largest funder is also war lobbies neocon and many of his supporters are struglling to come to grip with such facts in their desperation to believe that their latest Messiah is not controlld by special interest.

    MAGA has a bold personality, some of his closest supporters have said that he's not blackmailable. Hope you were not suggesting that MAGA faces same kind of threats that Obama faced on Iran/Syria and other mideast foreign policies; different circumstances, personalities and top funders involved in the two cases.
