sexual predator... racist....and big time criminal


Quite a few presidents share those traits.

As a tiny sample, Bubba has joined our boy Trump at Epstein's Island, among many other exploits that can be listed.

(Let's get back to the roasting of Assange, however -- pardons for the interlude).

Oh, and didja see Assange was hauling water for James O'Keefe's Mercer (and Trump!) funded "Veritas" fraud-based Far Right propaganda organization, which constantly attempts to set up liberal targets for blatantly bullshit hit piece pseudo-journalistic "stings", like their phony Roy Moore accuser who (luckily) got caught out by suspicious Washington Post reporters?

But hey, as long as he hates Hillary Clinton with the same sort of white hot blinding idiot rage as (the hypothetical) YOU do, he's a good guy, right?

Fuck, this world is fucked.

thanks!

yes everyone takes money from the guy that owes 7 billion dollars in taxes to the U.S. government

Bannon-linked Republican megadonors gave $25,000 to James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas: report
Noor Al-Sibai NOOR AL-SIBAI

Far-right Republican mega-donors Robert and Rebekah Mercer

New financial disclosures show that the Mercer family, who have funded Breitbart and are close with former White House aide Steve Bannon, gave James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas a large donation in 2012.

According to formerly unpublished tax forms acquired by BuzzFeed News, Robert and Rebekah Mercer’s “investment vehicle,” Gravitas Maximus LLC, gave Project Veritas $25,000 in 2012.

“The filings draw yet another connection in the web of conservative enterprises funded by Robert Mercer, who recently stepped down from his role as co-CEO of hedge fund Renaissance Technologies after a BuzzFeed News exposé revealed the connections among the Mercers, Breitbart, and white nationalists and neo-Nazis,” the report notes.

Project Veritas gained even more notoriety earlier this week after a woman associated with the group credited for their “creatively-edited” videos infiltrating liberal groups tried to peddle a fake story to the The Washington Post accusing Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore of impregnating her as a teen.

Unbelievable. Just nuts. :starz:


I feel the same way about the fact that there are people who still trust that bleach-headed piece of crap.

Unless you're one of those who thinks the very idea of America belongs on the trash heap of history, and you're eager to get to a world led by Chinese style technocratic totalitarian command capitalism surrounded by various conglomo-states based on ethnic identity and shored up by little more than isolationist ideology and WMD stocks, you should be too.

I never said I trust Assange, but I will say, I don't trust you. Your hyperbolic opinion pieces play loose with facts when you're "in a hurry" or whenever it fits your consistent status-quo agenda. You're a salesman. In your forum attacks you constantly draw false equivalencies and employ other cheap tricks to smear your targets (e.g. just read the last couple of pages). It's tiresome.

I think a problem is some people seem to feel the need to project an antagonizing and controversial persona when replying on a discussion board. I've noticed this with myself anyway. And later on looking back i can't even tell why i felt the need most of the times. It's almost never constructive to clearing things up and you find yourself agressively arguing positions you're not even sure about. :yay

Sorry, really. I dislike it myself and I don't get a good feeling from doing it. But I thought what I said should be said.

What's become increasingly pervasive, however -- and here I will be repeating the tired 'ol refrain -- is the reams of pasted material extracted largely from mainstream sources that essentially parrot mainstream views/interpretations of events; events largely implemented as distractions/noise-generators to obfuscate underlying agendas. There's far less analysis of the sleight of hand tricks at play; indeed, these obfuscations are presented here seemingly "as is", with nary a wink or allusion to the parlor tricks at play...)


Great disclaimer; some very pertinent points there. My favorite posts here tend to be original content buttressed with sourced documentation. I usually try to make posts like that, but often times I am guilty of pasting material and posting as is. Generally I'll do so in a thread where I happen to think the material speaks for itself as far as relevance goes. If anyone were to point out some obfuscation or sleight of hand that I neglected in the material, I would certainly try to reply to that post, either to agree or disagree.

How different is Trump, truly, than his predecessors, other than his propensity to provoke/instigate/troll the populace?

Here's how he's different: Trump is no politician. There's no nuance in his presentation. He's crude.
This is precisely the reason why many voted for him, and also precisely the reason many abhor him.


Agreed, although there's one difference he shares with Reagan: mental illness. We barely avoided nuclear conflagration with Able Archer. The current situation with North Korea might be slightly less inflammatory by comparison, but when someone genuinely unstable has the nuclear football, it's not that comforting to know. I realize, of course, that "crazy Trump" has now become an MSM meme, which makes me fear a pretext is being set up for the Cabinet to use the 25th amendment. I would prefer this play itself out the way Nixon was removed; having a bunch of Generals coordinate removal would be an unprecedented move reeking of coup d'etat IMO. Doesn't mean Trump isn't unbalanced, just that I'm uncomfortable with this uncharted territory.

Those that abhor Trump have allowed themselves to be consumed by the rabble; they've become ravenous in their desire to have him removed.
What happens if that dream comes true? Who will fill the vacuum? What net/substantive difference will there be to status quo, other than cosmetic?


There certainly is a segment of the population exactly as you describe. I just don't think that description fits anyone here on RI; even the most virulent Trump-hater here would not swallow or look the other way when Obama and Bush conducted their Middle East Misadventures, to use one example.

Funny thing regarding one of the most prolific posters: I don't believe I've ever given American Dream shit for his lengthy copypasta. It's when he decided to comment on it on a couple of occasions that I wrote words to the effect of "Hey bud, I think that's a bunch of bullshit." I've kind of learned to agree to disagree with him over the years just to reduce the animosity.

Now as to the other prolific poster, well, if you reply more as a Belligerent and less of a Savant, I'm sure she'll respond in kind! :wink

Well done, sir; we're in general agreement --- though it'd be ok if we weren't, of course. Spirit of discourse and all that.

(Another minor caveat, as clarification: "copypasta", when applied in moderation as a means to support or complement a discussion, is fair game -- I've done it myself many times. As with most things, however, there's a tolerance threshold at play)

WikiLeaks: Why is the Freedom of the Press Foundation cutting ties with Julian Assange?

Julian Assange clashes with FPF directors following news aid will cease.

By Jason MurdockDecember 21, 2017 14:19 GMT


Since 2012, the Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) has helped to process financial donations for the Julian Assange-led whistleblowing platform WikiLeaks. But the relationship has now come to an end, the organisation confirmed Wednesday (20 December).

The team-up started after a financial blockade on WikiLeaks was enforced by Visa, MasterCard and PayPal, which halted money flowing to the website and instead forcing it to turn towards cryptocurrency as a primary method of funding.

In a blog post, the FPF said this week: "Last month, FPF's board unanimously concluded [...] that the financial blockade by Visa, MasterCard, and PayPal is now over and likely has been for some time.

"WikiLeaks now accepts online donations through the German non-profit Wau Holland, which was how they accepted donations before FPF was founded. Because the blockade has been lifted, FPF will cease taking donations for WikiLeaks in mid-January 2018.

"We consider the end of the unjust financial blockade an important victory for free expression. We are proud to have been an avenue for WikiLeaks readers to express themselves for the past several years. And if a press organisation faces such a blockade again, we plan on being there to fight it."

Its warning came against the background of the director of the CIA, Mike Pompeo, describing WikiLeaks as a "hostile, non-state, intelligence agency" and US attorney general Jeff Sessions calling for Assange's arrest.

The blog post concluded: "Whether one likes WikiLeaks or not, the grand jury investigation into [its] publications is a grave threat to the press freedom of all media institutions. We plan on continuing to loudly protest any such actions by the Trump administration if they move forward."

But Assange - who says he helped conceive the FPF amid "political and legal pressure" from government and law enforcement - was not impressed his organisation was being cut off.

"The FPF faces criticism for receiving donations on our behalf, but that is its function," he responded. "If it bows to political pressure it becomes part of the problem it was designed to solve and yet another spurious free speech organisation - of which there are plenty."

Micah Lee, a journalist and director at the FPF, has been fielding much of the backlash from outspoken WikiLeaks supporters.

Many have pointed to a February tweet he wrote: "You can appreciate Wikileaks publishing leaked docs while not defending Julian as a rapist, liar, & ally to fascists."

WikiLeaks Task Force, a verified Twitter account with supposed links to the official whistleblowing website, called for his resignation. It remains unclear who is behind that profile, however.

In a short series of updates on Wednesday, Lee said: "We'll continue to fight for the First Amendment rights of WikiLeaks, and all other media institutions when they're threatened."

But an unimpressed and still angry Assange tweeted:

6:29 PM - Dec 20, 2017

WikiLeaks disclosed tens of thousands of emails during the 2016 US presidential election that the US government believes were provided by Russian intelligence-linked hackers.

Assange denied his source was a "state actor" but declined to elaborate further.

The website later started publishing "Vault 7", a collection of documents allegedly pilfered from the CIA. Again, the source remained a mystery.
