Julian Assange’s post-arrest situation is being used by the bipartisan U.S. political elite and mainstream media to add additional chaos to the public square, this on the eve of the reckoning that the Constitution and President Trump and his team are soon going to deliver to those who have robbed the republic of two-plus years of its life.
Assange, of course had nothing to do with the so-called Russian interference in the 2016 election – the claim of which has been a hoax since the start – nor did he join the Russians to hack Podesta and DNC e-mails. The latter were stolen by that rare DNC official, Seth Rich, who balked at the corruption the DNC was using to ensure Hillary Clinton’s nomination. He apparently downloaded the e-mails onto a flash-drive – a process proven a senior NSA internet expert via his examination of the time it took to download the data – and then passed the e-mails to Assange’s people in a manner about which I am ignorant. Rich paid for this action with his life, probably murdered by DNC-paid, illegal MS-13 immigrants, and then left to die in a Washington hospital room as DNC Chair Donna Brazile reportedly patrolled the corridors until Rich breathed his last. Hopefully, Brazile will be among those who are administered a hefty dose of painful constitutional retribution, and has time to think about it before she is hung.
Assange, now under arrest in the UK and awaiting an extradition hearing, has moved the U.S. governing elite and its media whores to strive to use him to increase political and media chaos and to slow the advance of their approaching doom. The senators, congressmen, mainstream media, groveling-to-Disney FOX commentators, bound-for-prison folks like Brennan, Clapper, and Comey, puffed-up and always defeated and far-from-the-battlefield generals, and most of what passes for the legal profession are baying like rabid hounds for Assange to be punished severely “for endangering American lives”. The charges against Assange, as I understand them, deal with hacking not dealing with the Russians, but no matter, for these anti-American, anti-Trumpers any port in a storm will have to do when they are looking at an appointment with the noose.
The scaborous tide of hatred directed at Assange since his exit from the Ecuadorian embassy and his arrest by the British police has been stunning. As a former CIA officer, I have always damned those who published classified material, and living in northern Virginia, on the doorstep of the Washington Post, there has been such damning to do on a daily basis. Indeed, if Assange’s actions were assessed in comparison to those of such scum as Dana Priest, David Ignatius, Bob Woodward and his ferret-looking sidekick, and so many other Post writers, Assange would be let off the hook scot-free.
Assange’s crowd of howling critics would be far better served if they simply recognize and then attack the massive damage to U.S. national security that has been done by the Post’s large stable of anti-American employees. This is not to say that Assange should be excused from being tried for the laws he is accused of breaking – if there truly are any – but a conviction of Assange would do nothing but again underscore that there is no such thing as equality before the law in today’s United States. Assange, in other words, ought not to go to an American prison unless Priest, Ignatius, Woodward, and the ferret are on the same chain gang making little ones out of big ones.
Back to the Assange haters and attackers. These people have, almost to a person, used a phrase that says ‘Assange endangered American lives”. Now, that may or may not true, only time and a fair trial and an unbiased judge — the last two scarce commodities — can determine that issue. But the scourging of Assange is being used by the mainstream media, the Congress, and the lefty elite as a handy tool with which to prevent any public focus on the idea that Assange might not be alone in “endangering American lives”.
Agreeing that if there is non-invented, unComey-like proof against Assange, he should face a fair trial, what should be done about the following deliberate actions if the standard of “endangering American lives” applied to Assange is to prevail as grounds for criminality. If they are applied to Assange, the same grounds must be applied to every person who is found to be endangering American lives, and that leads to dealing with:
–Every America president since 1945 who has deliberately endangered American lives by starting undeclared, unconstitutional, and unnecessary interventionist wars that he did not intend to win.
–Every American general officer who has led troops in combat since 1945 and has endangered the lives of American troops while knowing that the commander-in-chief did not intend to win the unnecessary war he started.
–Every American President and the politicians serving in the Senate or Congress since 1945 who have endangered American lives and the country’s sovereignty and independence by supporting, signing, and adhering to international agreements alliances, and organizations that are funded by stealing from U.S. taxpayers –monies that ought to go to rebuild our infrastructure, feed malnourished kids, or simply to reduce taxes and debt – and which block the U.S. military from using every available weapon, including, landmines, napalm, cluster munitions, etc., to utterly defeat the republic’s genuine enemies.
–Every American politician serving in the Senate or Congress since 1945 who has endangered American lives by failing to complete the simple task of controlling our southern border, thereby protecting U.S. sovereignty and the cohesion of the American union and the society therein.
–Every American president, politician, judge, churchman, journalist, and professor since 1945 who has endangered the lives of Americans by unconstitutionally supporting — or refusing to effectively oppose — disunion, and so has paved the road to civil war by allowing the creation of “sanctuary” cities, states, and counties as a means of housing and protecting the Third World scum of murderers, rapists, illegal voters, kidnappers, criminals, and the diseased they have welcomed into the country.
–Every American politician serving in the Senate or Congress since 1945 who has endangered American lives by welcoming the illegal immigrants who have killed, raped, enslaved, dismembered, drunkenly run-over, and spread disease among Americans.
–Every leftist American federal judge serving since 1945 who has endangered American lives by preventing effective border control, by demanding treatment of illegal alien criminals as if they were law-abiding U.S. citizens, and by unconstitutionally blocking legitimate Executive Branch actions to protect Americans against illegal aliens.
–Every American politician, journalist, professor, and churchman who has, since 2001, endangered American lives by telling the public the palpable lie that “Islam is a religion of peace”, and then supported extra-legal protections for the clearly non-peaceful Muslims they have brought into the country with little or no vetting, like those who slaughtered Americans at San Bernardino, and those, like Ilhan Omar, who seems to have told us that she wants to see the slaughter of more. (NB: Only the stupid or lawless would try to deny Omar the right of free speech. In Omar’s and many other cases in our history, the 1st Amendment has been an invaluable tool of early warning because it allowed citizens to advertise their hatred for the republic and/or their loyalty to foreign movements and powers, as in the current performances of Omar and Gauleiters Nadler and Schiff.)
–Every American Senator and Congressman since 1945 who has endangered the lives Americans by reaching into their pockets to steal their money, and thereby reduce their families’ economic viability, and then gave that money to foreigners for whom neither America’s citizenry nor the government it owns – and can dismiss via the vote or, if necessary, the rifle and noose – bear even the slightest responsibility.
–Every technology titan, legacy media owner, and fact-checking guru since 1995 who has endangered the lives of Americans by censoring the dissemination of news so as to hide conservative and libertarian viewpoints in favor of the leftist tyranny that is now strangling to death the Constitution and the civil liberties it guarantees.
The foregoing list, of course, only contains ten of the many thousands of post-1945 instances where those most “endangering American lives” were well-known Americans who intended to do what they were doing. They were and are Americans who held positions of elected power and trust; individuals who commanded attention and influence because of their wealth, celebrity, or religious, military, judicial, academic, or civil-service authority; or because of their status as industrial, media, or financial leaders. Assange must face the accusations that are leveled against him, but, whatever the resulting decision is on that issue, it alone will not move the United States one inch closer to the restoration of republican government, a strong union with all states treated equally, and equality before the law for all.
As noted here, there are today many thousands of far more criminal, and much more deadly people to hunt than Julian Assange, and the hunt for them is now underway. If the hunt fails and is not reattempted by the government or the people, the republic will die.
But if the hunt fails because the hunters are found to lack the stomach for destroying the republic’s domestic enemies through constitutional means, the end of constitutional options for the termination of those enemies is not at hand. A well-armed and purposeful citizenry will still have its chance to act constitutionally and, indeed, act as the Founders intended them to act, which is — with determined faces, hardened hearts, and steady trigger fingers — to accept that it is their “right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security” and thereafter act accordingly.
