Julian Assange – Do the trusting fall?

Francis O'Neill

In recent years the lockdowns, mandates, and toxic injections, have served to reveal the true nature of people in positions of influence.

Before 2020 we had a different measure of people’s ethical standing -the 9/11 litmus test. This was articulated in a video, the transcript of which reads,

Everyone in government and every field of endeavor the world over is defined by their position on this event…By what they have said and by what they have not said, one can accurately judge who is an enemy of the people’s of the world.”

In 2010, Julian Assange told the Belfast Telegraph,

“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.”

The litmus test continues,

Anyone who promotes the official story; who accepts the official story, who oppresses those who doubt the official story, who does not question the official story, is involved or too stupid to pat their head and chew gum at the same time.”

At the Holberg Debate in 2017, Assange answered a question by saying,

on the 9/11 issue generally I don’t think it is particularly important.”

The litmus test concludes,

Everyone in government; in the media, in entertainment, in organized religion, in the public eye and in the public who accepts and promotes the official story is either a traitor or a tool.”

Assange’s views on 9/11 tally with those of his supporter, MIT professor Noam Chomsky, who despite knowing better, said of the case for controlled demolition,

I think it’s completely wrong- but also I think it’s diverting people away from serious issues. I mean even if it is true, which is extremely unlikely, who cares? I mean it doesn’t have any significance.”

There are those who consider the truth of the foundational event of the ‘War on Terror,’ to be important, and the concordant evidence that disproves the official 9/11 story to be significant.

As with others who failed the 9/11 litmus test, Chomsky went on to advocate for the medical tyranny of the 2020s, in relation to which Assange’s Wikileaks was notable only for selling masks.

Assange’s comments on 9/11 came after Barack Obama’s information czar, Cass Sunstein, addressed the question What can government do about conspiracy theories? in a paper that concluded,

“ that government should engage in cognitive infiltration of the groups that produce conspiracy theories”

by

“-counterspeech, marshaling arguments to discredit conspiracy theories.”

“-formally hiring credible private parties to engage in counterspeech.”

“-informal communication with such parties, encouraging them to help.”

Sunstein announced the arrival of Wikileaks to the world in a 2007 Washington Post article and was co-author of the ‘nudge theory‘ utilised by governments during the lockdown era. ‘Nudge’ techniques had previously been known as propaganda, coercion, and brainwashing.

Interestingly, for a man with a messianic image, Assange’s mother’s partner was a member of a child-drugging cult called ‘The Family’. This cult had echoes of the CIA mind control programme ‘MK-Ultra’ that was officially winding down as ‘the Family’ was founded in Australia.

Though there are photographs of a boy who resembles Assange in the cult, he is instead said to have attended 37 separate schools, but,

If Julian spent 4 years at one school…and the school year is only 9 months long… Julian was swapping schools every 6 weeks.”[source]

The Family disbanded in 1987 following a police raid when Assange was 16. Its founder,

Anne Hamilton-Byrne … was never prosecuted for child abuse, false adoptions, forgery, social security fraud or for overseeing the administration of narcotics and psychiatric drugs on children.” [source]

Assange then operated under the hacker alias ‘Mendax’ which means ‘liar’ in Latin. He was caught and “in December 1996, he pleaded guilty to twenty-five charges. His ‘disrupted childhood’ was ‘cited to justify his lenient penalty.”

A relationship with the US government is suggested by Assange’s inclusion in a 1994 email with employees from NASA, Los Alamos Laboratories and SEMATECH. His former hacking comrade Pieter Zaitko, who went on to work for a DARPA military contractor, said,

Julian told me that his graduate work had been funded by a US Government grant, specifically NSA and DARPA money which was supposed to be used for ‘fundamental security research.’”

John Young, an early Wikileaks collaborator who registered the wikileaks.org domain has subsequently been scathing in his criticism of the group, commenting that, “everyone associated with WL is a bald-faced liar, an agent of the authorities and the worst of the world,” and that ‘Wikileaks has always been a commercial enterprise hiding behind a narcissistic “public interest” PR.’ ”

In leaked emails Assange suggested wikileaks could run on $50,000 per year but his desire to secure $5 million led to “delicate negotiations with the Open Society (George Soros),” and a “strategy for division and support.” Assange was reported to own 94% of the (for profit) company that owns wikileaks. He planned that wikileaks would:

appear to be, the reclusive ubermench of the 4th estate.”

and to,

“continually inject our informational strain…. to dominate the culture when opposed by relatively random influences of others… to push our desired perceptions of what WL is into the world, to set the key in which future bars of our song are to be played by the public orchestra, BEFORE it faces any serious opposition.”

The extensive media coverage Assange has received contrasts starkly with the way the truth of 9/11 or vaccine harms is ignored and censored.

Other whistleblowers remain largely unknown. Seeking to avoid being extradited to the US he was forced to stay in London, one of the media centres of the world, in the embassy of Ecuador, a US ally.

During the lockdown period the media highlighted prominent figures campaigning for his release whilst demonstrations against the incarceration of the wider public were under-reported.

Assange is said to have endured a lack of daylight at the embassy -which has windows and where he appeared on a balcony. Similarly, he is said to have suffered constant surveillance but also to have sired two sons in a relationship that was kept secret until 2020 and during which he enjoyed visits from Pamela Anderson. He apparently married in prison but we are told the photographs of the event are too grainy to be recognisable. When he was forcibly carried from the embassy in full public view a Gore Vidal book was not dislodged from his grip.

Assange remains the only one of the wikileaks team to be given a high profile and pursued by the authorities. Alongside dissidents Edward Snowden and Bradley Manning, he has been depicted in a statue that has been given prominence around the world. The trio operate as examples to those in the respective fields of journalism, intelligence, and the military.

Like Snowden, who also fails the 9/11 litmus test, Assange has had a Hollywood movie made about him.

Despite the reported psychological torture imposed upon him, Manning was permitted to pursue his trans-gender inclinations whilst in custody, setting a precedent for the US military.

Critics of Wikileaks observe that its leaks do not pack a punch that western imperialists cannot stomach, and instead they seem to support narratives concerning western targets such as Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran, and favour allies such as IsraelConcerns have been raised that Wikileaks could serve as a filtering system for disclosures and a honey-trap for whistleblowers.

As the Assange story provides a long-running cautionary tale for journalists, its most infamous leak features the murder of war correspondents. Wikileaks’ revelations of spying, torture, and war crimes, expose those lower down the chain of command and address the symptoms of the ‘war of terror,’ but not its instigators or its cause.

Of course, those who believe lies and trust a liar fall.

Trusting any idol will cause a fall.

The name of that idol doesn’t matter. Readers of the Wall Street Journal think Bill Gates is a saint, a genius and such a good man. They are basically no different from Assange fandom.

Idol worship means authoritarian rule, because in idol worship (idolatry) anything but the truth is in place of the truth. Worship of any idol is a mortal sin. That’s the idea in the first Commandment. And when we think about it, only the truth is worth believing anyway.

Only truth matters, and truth is never a person.

It is very simple. And the whole point of the Apocalypse (Revelation) is to be freed from sin.

Assange never mentions nobility or fraternal orders” – So what do you think he was and is…It’s quite clear to me, that he was an exceedingly clever man, with regards to his computing skills, and I wanted him to meet my 13 year old son, before hardly anyone had heard of him. I could see he was being “done in” – in Sweden. Why would our new Prime Minister then Director of Prosecutions – Do that to him…The CIA hated him more than Anyone, cos he kept telling the truth, and embarrassing them.

Although, I have little interest in today’s UK General Selection, it is clear that Trilateral errand boy Starmer is the preferred candidate to implement the next stage of the biosecurity digital gulag along with the controlled demolition of UK.

When I was beginning to hope that more people were in the process of waking up to the fake left/right paridigm, I overheard a woman today who was ecstastic that Britain was about to ‘elect’ a “proper government”.

She went on to add that her morning comprises of listening to James O’Brien at LBC Radio. A champagne socialist who continually bangs on about his private school education in Kidderminster, living in Chiswick and loves to cut callers off who do not agree with him.

On days like this, when I realise who far gone some of the sheep are, I just wish that we can get this over with, bring it all on, throw the dice up in the air and see how they land.

2020 was the watershed moment when the anachronistic old view of Tory fox hunting snobs against Labour cloth capped proles was not merely revealed to be a con but had even effectively been reversed as the new biosecurity state paradigm required a “Leftist” government.

The majority have no idea of any of this. As Veblen once noted, social consciousness lags way behind economic and technological developments by a considerable margin. Sometimes this consciousness never catches up.

The key period is the 70s. Those of my generation have never left that time no matter how much they pathetically believe themselves to have “kept up with the times”, by which they mean a superficial embracing of the current fashions, TV programmes ad pop music. Politically, they’re still living in the days when unions had some clout and the system reps hadn’t mastered the Blairite art of mimicking a vacuous “yoof” appeal.

There is not a shred of that old theatre that is still relevant – if it ever was.

Several mentions of Chomsky with regard to Assange’s failure of the 911 litmus test. We must remember that there is a long list of failures amongst the Anti-War Left, indeed it has been argued that the collective epistemic failure on this topic sealed the fate of that movement. These are the names that come to memory in that they greatly disappointed me at the time:
Chris Hedges
Glenn Greenwald
Media Lens
Craig Murray
Max Blumenthal
Jonathan Cook
Democracy Now
Counterpunch
….. but the list goes on as all readers of this surely realise.
I puzzled over this for years, and it only really made sense once I considered the question, “If it is legitimate to critique huge narratives like 911, then surely it is legitimate to question other ones?”
The journey down that path led to a revision of my political viewpoint such that ‘Left’ became understood in a quite new way. It is argued that there are other ‘litmus tests’ and that many of the writers in the (911) truth movement fail them. Its a big onion, but I would argue that there is a core to it.

Today is the vote and a lot of memes are getting pushed. There seems to be a determination to dissuade as many as possible from voting. And another movement to convince you Labour has already won.

I keep wondering. For the first time I think the unthinkable – to vote Tory! This as a tactical move to try and stop Labour getting in. Also to prove to myself that I don’t fall any more for the now anachronistic crap about Left/Right.

I’d appreciate it if instead of simply voting me down, folk would actually make a comment. I don’t want to vote Tory. God forbid! But I reckon SNP is a vote that only succeeds in blocking the Tories and is therefore a vote for Labour.

Labour has been another business party indistinguishable from the Tories since Blair. (As Thatcher herself proudly admitte.) Blair signified continuation of neoliberal policies under a Left face. And vast numbers were suckered in.

But since 2020 Labour has been at the forefront of a new “Leftism” whose true purpose is the biggest grab for resources since enclosure of the commons. The Tories are at least rhetorically tied to small businesses. Labour now represent the biggest businesses.

Of course both parties are ultimately in the service of the parasite class but going by the mainstream script you can see they favour Labour since Labour will most effectively bring in the biosecurity state the quickest.

Or does anyone think that spoiling the ballot paper make any real difference.

And it is clear that the parasite class want you to avoid the vote altogether going by how they’re making it more difficult.

Yes, the role of the so-called Left is to usher in the communitarian (neo-communism) agenda. This is at the heart of UN Agenda 21/2030. Since so many supporters of the left, including the middle and especially the upper middle, chattering classes believe in anthropogenic climate change, ‘pandemics’ and the SDGs, these morons are literally aiding their own economic and financial suicide.

“You will own nothing and be happy” is easier to implement when the dumb cattle assist in their own path to slavery and serfdom. Those with assets are the target audience to impoverish and reduce them to becoming dependents upon the State in receipt of UBI and a life in the rentier economy. The irony of these virtue signalling, “I’m alright Jack” types sleepwalking to the slaughterhouse is almost comical.

I didn’t vote you down (I always enjoy reading your posts), but I’m guessing that some of the downvotes might be because you’re even considering voting in the first place.

Aside from the strong suspicion that many have that it doesn’t alter the “illusion of choice” outcome one iota, but rather keeps perpetuating it by naively thinking it could actually make a difference, there’s also the more philosophical notion that the 51% are morally entitled to violently dominate the 49% simply because they have numbers. Labelling it as “democracy” and touting it as the most noble system there is, as the MSM does, is questionable at best.

As a very crude example, if a plane containing 80 men and 20 women crashes on a remote desert island and all survive and decide to adopt “democratic” ideals, then voting to legalise rape would be perfectly ‘legal’ and wholly democratic—and therein lies the problem… hence the “two wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner” election metaphor.

I’m not a huge fan of Larken Rose (although I share quite a few of his ideals), but I think he nailed it with his book that labelled any belief in authority as “The Most Dangerous Superstition”.

The establishment has been getting seriously panicked that Reform is polling at 20% and above. This won’t do anything to stop the appointment of Starmer, but it may at least mean he has to face some proper questioning in Parliament. It would also result in there being a lot of independently minded MPs and the Tories getting wiped out. As a consequence, the entire establishment has been acting in cahoots to knock Reform back to its allotted range of 10-15%.

Ah “Gilted (sic) George”. I’ve met you before under a different name.

Second, I’ve noticed that some commenters here consist mainly of those who wish to merely “blow off steam” and they may, like me, think that this general election is a futile charade. However, the suggestion to vote Tory still fills them with dread. If it doesn’t matter then why not prove to yourself that you really believe it doesn’t matter by precisely going out and voting Tory?

That’s one incentive for it. Another is to say that it DOES matter if the Tories get in since it would be an embarrassment to the whole biosecurity state programme and would make such a programme more problematic to implement.

Interesting article, but it doesn’t work for me.

Missing context indicates bias and lack of bona fides. Firstly, the Belfast Telegraph (I don’t give MSM ‘journalists’ much credence on anything they say ever, but that’s the source used here – and it’s a mild smear piece anyway) quote attributed to Assange is preceded by:

“His obsession with secrecy, both in others and maintaining his own, lends him the air of a conspiracy theorist. Is he one? “I believe in facts about conspiracies,” he says, choosing his words slowly. “Any time people with power plan in secret, they are conducting a conspiracy. So there are conspiracies everywhere. There are also crazed conspiracy theories. It’s important not to confuse these two. Generally, when there’s enough facts about a conspiracy we simply call this news.”

Secondly, missing from the 2017 Holberg Debate quote is:

“On the 9/11 issue generally, I don’t think it is particularly important, in the sense that every day or every few weeks, Wikileaks and some other publishers publish proof of very serious existing conspiracies that are happening right now or just a couple of years ago. In order to start wars or steal billions of dollars. These things I think can have more of a change.

There’s a certain view in relation to 9/11 that it’s some kind of holy grail that would shake the existing order of things, but I don’t think it would, even if it came out that there were some rogues, rogue agents involved.”

That one is a direct quote from him which you can watch on video, so for my money that’s more likely to be representative of his view of 9/11 (at least in 2017). It’s a view that makes sense to me.

As far as I’m aware that’s all there is about “Assange 9/11”. One attributed quote from 2010 and one video from 2017. Two instances. Not enough to make me believe the anti-Assange meme.

At lockdown protests I often got into discussions with people where the “Assange 9/11” furphy got rolled out along with the idea that he was on board the COV narrative. He hasn’t said anything DIRECTLY HIMSELF publicly about COV. Which brings me to my next point.

Assange has said nothing publicly since his twitter account was taken from him in March 2018 and he was electronically gagged in the embassy. Before that he had lots to say all the time about everything – some I’d agree with and some I wouldn’t, same as anyone else. What concerned me then and ever since is that he has been gagged for six years.

I have a ‘theory’ that there is a ‘conspiracy’ by an ‘inner circle’ of the Wikileaks/Assange machine to keep him silenced. Given his voluminous output prior to March 2018 I can not accept that he suddenly decided he didn’t have anything to say ever again. There has been no legal gag on him even when in Belmarsh. We’re told he had a parade of visitors from the inner circle and those annointed, but never once did anyone attribute a direct quote from Assange about anything. It would have been easy, and logical, to keep giving supporters direct messages from Assange, but there was a deliberate choice not to do/allow that.

Everything about Assange since 2018 has been what the inner circle puts out. Remember the stroke? The massive weight loss? Suicidal ideation? 23 hours a day in solitary (extremely unlikely for a remand prisoner, and likely unlawful)? 175 years in jail in the US? None of this came from Assange himself, it was put out by the “team”.

Now, Assange is apparently free – but he still doesn’t want to say anything. He just wants to “recover” (for which we must give lots of money to another strange fundraiser apparently with no detail on what the money is exactly for).

I don’t buy it at all, but for completely different reasons than the anti-Assange crowd. Works as a nice divider though. The accepted sides are either believe the entire “Assange” narrative over the last six years as produced by the ‘team’, or believe that Assange himself is a bad character/CIA whatever.

Final point to my ‘theory’. Let’s say he is free. There are no restrictions on his free speech in the plea deal (which I’ve read in full). He is back in Australia. So what could be stopping him from speaking publicly now?

I do not accept the rest/recover/health/privacy/family etc..excuses. He can do all that if needed and still say something live publicly – even if he said on a video: “Thanks everyone for your support but I have nothing further to say, for now I just want to be left alone to recover for a while with my new wife and wonderful family.” (I can’t write that bit with a straight face).

Australia does have National Security Laws that are amongst the most draconian in the world. It is POSSIBLE – I have no proof – that he is being held incommunicado in secret for “questioning” or the subject of a “control order” (remember, he is now a “convicted espionage cyber felon”, just to make it even easier for them). It is a crime to tell anyone that you are subject to those things and you can be detained anywhere, it doesn’t have to be a prison.

It’s been a week now and still not a peep. Hasn’t been seen or heard from publicly since he arrived here. Makes you wonder doesn’t it? It should.

Assange didn’t merely ignore 9/11 truth. He went out of his way to denounce the very idea, just like Chomsky. 9/11 was a major acid test, and Julian got an F. Thanks for this excellent article, Francis O’Neill!!

9/11 was the trigger for the 21st century forever wars of the USA, so it wasn’t an insignificant event, particularly as it was intricately planned by those in control of the Project for a New American Century ideology.

Without 9/11 war in Afghanistan and Iraq would not have been called for, although I have little doubt that another way to trigger wars that the world didn’t want nor need would have been found.

It was like the Bush/Gore election meltdown that prequelled it by only 9 months. There was a whole series of mechanisms put in place to make sure Bush was installed, and I paid real attention, to the point of renting a storage space to archive stacks of 5 national newspapers!

Which paid off, as key betrayals appeared on inner pages, here and there, of all of them, and many a sleuth missed many of them. Some slips by NYT were deleted in later editions!

The PNAC posse of perps and supervillains had all kinds of institutional mechanisms in place, from Florida to the Supreme Court (“Nino” Scalia) to make sure W was our Manifest Destiny.

They had a War on Terror to get on. And soon they did.

What seemed especially disturbing was that Europeans knew about the imminence of the 9/11 attacks…

…the day before. On 9/10 German TV had at top of the news “Major Terrorist Attack Forecast for the East Coast of the USA Tomorrow.”

Like a weather alert. Confirmations of that are still hard to come by, here (U.S.).

In 2015 I talked to two Vietnamese women who are French nationals, mother and daughter, and asked them about that, and they were in different parts of France that day, but they looked at each other and nodded, “Oui, on s’en souvient!” They both remembered hearing travel warnings, the day before.

Melody Bethke, a California filmmaker , spoke late night on KPFK (L.A.) about delaying her flight home from Germany after hearing the warnings on German news.

Yet we never heard a word in the USA. A 99.99999% total blackout.

That was one of a list of reasons I called BS, the moment I heard it, on March 11, 2020.

I told family within 5 minutes of the first 9/11 news that it was an Inside Job.

Robin Williams next day cremation was blacked out. I got a confirmation from someone who had been at his favorite bar in Tiburon. Yet only TMZ (!) carried that story, then.

He had become best friends with blacklisted (for almost 60 years) comic Mort Sahl, from 2000 to the 2014 end. [A fascinating topic, as Sahl had been deputized by Jim Garrison for the NOLA trial of JFK murder perps, and soon after that, blacklisted.]

A lot of these are old school items, but, like JFK, ponderously relevant.

The only thing that changed is things got worse, we had a fake pandemic, more war, more money and wealth to the top, more movement toward the New World Order, and the list goes on.

I agree, and am genuinely puzzled by all the downvotes. Is that solely because he is on GBN? I’ve been watching him speak – and not particularly carefully it does not seem – since fairly early on in the c19 epoch, and have never gotten a false note from him.

He speaks civilly, plainly and honestly, as far as I can tell, seems entirely sincere, and his assessments reasonable and accurate. And brave of him to stick his neck out, yes.

Is the disdain simply about his association with that channel, do you think? I would have expected him to be well received by OG readers. I’d certainly be content to be his neighbor, and wish I could live in a whole community of people like him. It’s odd.  🤔

If there was any pro-Assange bubble left in me, it has now completely collapsed.

The first prick in my bubble was a few weeks ago when it was pointed out that the Wikileaks website showed its partner companies to be the usual run-down of CIA-controlled assets, including Der Spiegel of which former Spiegel journalist, Udo Ulfkotte, said (and wrote a book about) that the CIA would dictate to journalists what narratives to write in this prestigious news magazine.

The English version of Ulfkotte’s book is: Journalists for Hire: How the CIA Buys the News.

Needless to say, he was heart attacked in January 2017, 2 1/2 years after his book was published.

Good article, I am pretty much convinced although not as much on Snowden.

I never believed for a second that Manning’s apparent gender change was a coincidence at all- at best he did it to get out quicker, a cry for help, otherwise it was a psy-op script.

As for 9/11 the real litmus test is the photographic evidence that Judy Moore presents and how people react to it or whether they register at all.
i don’t know what she is talking about when it comes to “free energy” and her speculations are not so important, but just looking at the photos leaves little doubt in my mind that this was an energy weapon. None of the other alternative theories is plausible given the evidence .

Demolish everything and what have you got left? Ground Zero.

Demolishing, in the eyes of resistants, the reputation of a personage who at the very least has (or had) the virtue of uniting in sympathy the opponents of institutionalized power will only contribute to the purposes of those who control real “controlled opposition”.

It’s irrational and completely counter-productive to assert, as the author of this article does, that 9/11 is some sort of “litmus test” for purity of thought and motive. A person may never come to the realisation that something he or she firmly believes to be false or true is just the opposite, and yet still in good faith have real and vital things to say or reveal to us. That applies to both Julian Assange and Noam Chomsky but not, I fear, the author of an article that in its way rivals the worst attacks on Assange by Guardian columnists and assorted mainstream media of the past. Published no doubt out of a respect for plurality of opinion (at least I’d like to think so), the more paranoid, rabid and miserably lost among the followers, and the trolls, will natually be rather pleased by it.

Despite the 90-plus-year-old’s more recent demented utterances or pre-ga-ga reluctance to fall off his perch as respected public intellectual/token tolerated gadfly (or “gate-keeper”, if you prefer) — as he surely would have if he’d recognised the truth about 9/11 — Chomsky’s past writings are both admirable and extraordinarily valuable for understanding both Reality and the anti-reality we find ourselves in today. And what does it matter if the child Julian was delivered up by his mother into a cult of blonds? (Redheads and swarthy MkUltras are obviously altogether more dangerous.) What difference could any of that make to all that Wikileaks has shown us about the reality of power? Or was the whole shebang merely a plot by alien lizard overlords? And because I don’t happen to believe in those particular reptiles, even while agreeing with certain other assertions related to the terrestrial breed by those who do, does that make me a shill for the globalists? Does this comment?

No-one doubts that Assange “has (or had) the virtue of uniting in sympathy the opponents of institutionalized power”. But that bit about “those who control real “controlled opposition”” obviously simply assumes that Assange isn’t involved with those ones.
 
“It’s irrational and completely counter-productive to assert, as the author of this article does, that 9/11 is some sort of “litmus test” for purity of thought and motive.”
 
Why? When you have an event that stinks as obviously as 9/11 then any supposed dissident who doesn’t wrinkle his nose at it is under legitimate suspicion.
 
“A person may never come to the realisation that something he or she firmly believes to be false or true is just the opposite, and yet still in good faith have real and vital things to say or reveal to us.”
 
Yes. No-one is arguing with that.
 
“That applies to both Julian Assange and Noam Chomsky …”
 
Well it applies to Chomsky, many of whose opinions are not only spot on but brilliantly articulated.
 
“….but not, I fear, the author of an article that in its way rivals the worst attacks on Assange by Guardian columnists and assorted mainstream media of the past.”
 
The writer of this article has every right to put forward honest suspicions.
 
“Published no doubt out of a respect for plurality of opinion (at least I’d like to think so), the more paranoid, rabid and miserably lost among the followers, and the trolls, will natually be rather pleased by it.”
 
Simple jumping to conclusions and name calling.
 
“…Chomsky’s past writings are both admirable and extraordinarily valuable for understanding both Reality and the anti-reality we find ourselves in today.” 

Again, not a problem.

 “And what does it matter if the child Julian was delivered up by his mother into a cult of blonds? (Redheads and swarthy MkUltras are obviously altogether more dangerous.)” 

Well if Assange truly was in a cult then I think it at least worthy of consideration. It isn’t insane to suggest mind control is involved. 

“What difference could any of that make to all that Wikileaks has shown us about the reality of power?”

 Wikileaks has shown us what a limited hangout looks like.

 “Or was the whole shebang merely a plot by alien lizard overlords? And because I don’t happen to believe in those particular reptiles, even while agreeing with certain other assertions related to the terrestrial breed by those who do, does that make me a shill for the globalists?”

 Not at all. But the uncalled for reference to lizard overlords is a tedious smear similar to the non-sequitur linking of a passage to “Flat-Earthers”.

Every turd a celebrity drops becomes fodder for the media. They eat it up, spit it out, serve it up to the public, large enough portions of which savor it to keep the media rolling.

Nobody cares what Mr. Nobody does or what happens to him unless it’s so unique the media can find an angle. But put an Assange in jail and you never hear the end of it. That DOES NOT make an Assange a silent partner of the media!!!!!

Can anyone who has paid any attention at all really be shocked about the inhumanity of wars? As if that’s a complete unknown or would never happen. While assange “exposed” that brutality out of American warfare, would other nations do all that different? No. I’m in no way excusing what was exposed but you gotta ask, who’d be shocked at that behavior? Anyone who would simply refuses to admit just what war really is.

Excellent insights. I enjoyed reading this article by Francis O’Neill.

The “official” Assange legend seems like something that should have collapsed under its own weight years ago, except it hasn’t.

That in itself, without the need of any hard copy documents or sincere eyewitnesses, shoots up more red flags than a May Day parade in the ol’ USSR.

Just all the years of MSM coverage alone, without any convenient backups from the Alt HiveMind (orchestrated contradictions), should be enough proof it’s all a ridiculous fake.

Next!?

It’s pretty easy to navigate most geopolitics in “today’s world” just by plotting a course left by omissions.

Wikipedia is notoriously revealing in this: if you look at their coverage of very sensitive Intel issues, like Lee Harvey Oswald legend and his curious connections, they always always show their hand by “small” but glaring holes in the story, like Francis Gary Powers (CIA U2 pilot shot down over USSR near Moscow in 1960) dying in a crash of his KNBC news chopper in August 1977 in Encino (L.A.), at 47 years old, on the “eve”‘of his scheduled testimony to HSCA (House Select Committee on assassinations).

They chronically leave out such things like CIA & FBI affiliations in their accounts. Covering up key facts, or just gradually disappearing them. Muted.

Such as those of Assange.

Even when it’s so difficult or impossible to confirm many things, at our outsiders’ distances from the events, it’s SO easy to confirm that obvious key facts are missing!

You can make authoritative maps out of them. Dots that aren’t there. Amazing really. Almost incredible? Is it all one big honey trap? That would be less embarrassing.

They are my Pole Star, the one I steer by, if always tacking against their “wind”.

I complained to them 10 years ago, roughly, that their entry for “Operation Paperclip” only listed two names at the bottom of their “box set” which was headed by NAZA, ah, NASA, (damned spell check!), then The Bomb Nazi scientists, lengthy, and bottom of the totem pole “Intelligence” which had only the links to Reinhard Gehlen and Otto von Bolschwing.[Sacramento, Calif. “de-nazified” ODESSA! “central” to the Tate murders.]

I said they should expand it.

Next time I checked it had been deleted, altogether! Nothing to redirect either.

Now you can find a whole long piece (not long enough!) on “The Gehlen Org” IF you already know where to look!

They Simpsonesquely tipped that hand by hiding it.

Happens all the time there.

That’s why they are SO valuable.

I study their elisions to plot my course to the Promised Land.

Of hard fact. Shhhhhh…..

D’oh!

Lots more to that saga too. Even his son (noted at Wiki) said he had misread his “new fuel gauge” and ran out of gas near the Encino dam (my 60s “backyard” in my school years nearby).

Witnesses, never made public, spoke of a mid air explosion.

The official story was that he tried to land at a school ground, but veered to his death to avoid children at play there?

A CIA pilot who probably had the highest ranking of any pilot on earth when he flew U2, misreading a new fuel gauge. [That’s “covered” at Wikipedia.]

He had named in a Moscow court at his trial there in 1960 the person responsible for sabotaging his U2 mission.

Lee Harvey Oswald.

“Bridge of Spies” film is yet another C👁️A-asset vehicle, with Tom Hanks as the obliging superstar.

The role he plays, Powers lawyer, WM. Donovan, is a real piece of work, just skimming his standard bio.

I’d never heard the LHO connection, either.
I did see Bridge of Spies some time ago. I remember liking it, at the time, but cannot remember a thing about it now.

Where did Anne Hamilton-Byrne spend her final years? It’s in the last sentence here:

The cult children look decidedly like the children in the film ‘Village of the Damned’ (original directed by Wolf Rilla with the remake by John Carpenter). A case of life imitating art imitating life I would suspect.

The Phoenix family were in the American branch of ‘The Family’ (who claim to be much nicer than the Australian version). River Phoenix ended up dead at a young age in highly suspicious circumstances.

There is nothing nice in the American version of the Family cult aka Children of God.

The leader, David Berg, raped his own daughter and granddaughters, physically beat them to drive out demons, while pretending to be God.

Joaquin Phoenix and his brothers were raped as children. The cult advertised itself as ”free love”, but in reality it forced its members into prostitution and other forms of abuse.
