EXPANSION OF A COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE BY ELIZABETH VOS IN CONSORTIUM NEWS
“Media Silence on Assange Aids Trump”
“By ignoring Donald Trump’s apparent abuse of power in
allegedly ordering Julian Assange’s arrest, it seems the liberal media’s hatred
for Assange trumps that of Trump…”
The author has a point, although I tend to think Biden wouldn't welcome the publicity.
It might create a burden he does not want.
The press may just be trying to keep things as simple as possible. They want no complexities getting in the way of getting rid of Trump.
Remember, the great prosecutor of heroic whistle-blowers was none other than Barack Obama of the big smile, and he was Biden’s boss for eight years.
He was ruthless. He is responsible for the exile or jailing of all the noted voices, as well as being responsible for the creation of the hideous NSA supercomputer complex which destroys privacy. He also never closed Guantanamo as he promised.
Obama, despite his pleasant public persona, was a highly secretive man.
Colleagues at the University of Chicago commented on that in the past. He kept to himself.
I have a moderate suspicion that he was CIA, as very much was George H W Bush.
The whole complex effort by the security agencies to prevent Trump’s election or to hurt him after being elected had to be overseen by Obama. All those senior guys speaking out and acting secretly just does not happen without the blessing of the President.
The fact that the plots failed so miserably and embarrassingly can still support the CIA thesis. So very many of their spider-web plots abroad have backfired.
They never really learn because they are not held truly accountable for anything. And they have unlimited resources to play dirty games with. When their huge budget isn’t adequate, they turn to the drug- or gun-running they have used many times. Afghanistan’s opium poppies have been a shower of gold for them.
Obama certainly did yeoman’s service for the military-security complex with his Middle East wars, extrajudicial drone killing system (run by CIA), going after whistle-blowers, and support for secrecy.
Here is the truly remarkable photo of George H W Bush that virtually proves he was CIA, although there are lots of other clues and bits of evidence:
