CITIZENS’ MEDIA

MoA—The Obama administration, not known for reluctance to go after whistleblowers, had already weighed the ‘conspired’ case and decided against prosecuting it.It is thus likely that the case, as unsealed now, is only a pretext to extradite Assange from Britain. The real case will only get unsealed if and when Assange is in U.S. custody.National security reporter William Arkin, who left NBC News over its warmongering, is likely right when he writes that the issue behind this is Wikileaks’ publishing of the CIA’s hacking tools known as Vault 7.

GLEN FORD—The FBI has never attempted to question Wikileaks founder Julian Assange about the nature of the delivery, even though Assange is easy to find, locked up in the Ecuadorean embassy in London. Neither have they attempted to speak with Craig Murray, a former British ambassador to Uzbekistan who claims to have accepted the hand-delivery of data on the campus of American University, in Washington, DC. The reason the FBI has avoided talking to the most important witnesses in the case, and that they never inspected the DNC server, is obvious: they know that the whole Russiagate story is bogus.

[Paris, Saturday, March 23, 2019. 5,000 people demonstrated in Paris, one week after the major excesses observed in the capital. The Champs-Elysees were completely closed and this is the first time in 19 weeks that the Yellow Vests have failed to gather on the avenue. Two rallies were allowed: – a static gathering on the place of Trocadero (which took place without much incident) – a walk from the place Denfert-Rochereau to the basilica of the Sacred Heart of Montmartre. A wild event rushed the Sacred Heart- but the police pushed the crowd around toward the Gare de L’Est (East Station) with tear gas, then quickly used the contact technique to disperse the protesters (on foot and on motorbike) – a police officer was the victim of Cardiac malaise in the Place de la Republique: he was quickly attended by the street-medics who preceded the arrival of the firemen, while the police force tried to secure the area.]

PHILIP A. FARRUGGIO—So, how could the Trumpster work to aid the powerful National Democratic Party? Well, look what has transpired. Trump and his minions, and of course the Real Deep State Fat Cats who run the Military Industrial Empire, they have done so much to destroy we working stiffs. All across the board this Trump crew is a disaster in every way. Not enough, sadly, to wake up those fools within his ‘ base’, many with not a pot to piss in. The polls reveal my claim that Trump is sending millions of people, including  many among that 50% of eligible voters who don’t even vote, to the open arms of the Dems.

MICHAEL K SMITH—Abbey called himself a racist in Confessions of a Barbarian, though he defined the term as an aversion to being dominated by a race to which one did not belong, which definition would render nearly all of humanity “racist”: “Am I a racist? I guess I am. I certainly do not wish to live in a society dominated by blacks, or Mexicans, or Orientals. Look at Africa, at Mexico, at Asia.” Abbey was aware of the contributions of Western colonialism and imperialism to the widespread misery found in those regions, but argued it was but “Western guilt neurosis” to assign primacy to them in accounting for Third World conditions in the late twentieth century.
