Oh boy...no you din't, Michael! Putting Lira under the same microscope as Assange? Eek. Do you think he (JA) ratted Chelsea/Bradley Manning out as well?
I do agree with you on most of what you say about RFK, Jr. Raised a privileged elite from a long line of (nearly royal) American elites. He just might be the Pied Piper of disenchanted Dems but...or, let's say, the younger version of Bernie Sanders...but I smell a rat there too. A couple of pronouncements he tendered- fealty to Israel and its 'right to exist' mantra, support for the NATO proxy war on Russia and many other cringey comments. Giving Fauci and all the Vaccineholes a pass? Oy.
What a fine mess. I will continue to follow your posts with interest, if only to cast a shadow. :)
Yes, sadly, it seems that Assange is a Deep State actor, which is lamentable, to say the least. I too am deeply disappointed. Why are you, of all people, after all you wrote, surprised? The bit about RFK isn't from me at all but my good friend Darwin K. Hoop, but I thought it chimed in well with the theme of "Controlled Opposition".
Surprised about the Assange/Lira comparison? Um. I'm surprised you're surprised about my reaction! Did you catch the John Shipton documentary 'Ithaka' about Julian Assange's trials? I love Darwin...we aren't 'good friends' but we are friends on some social media and he's wonderful, yes. I'm not ready to stamp Assange 'controlled opposition'. What a price to pay! You didn't answer my question about Chelsea/Bradley Manning. Hm.
To the best of my knowledge Chelsea/Bradley Manning was fingered by someone they made the mistake of communicating with (who publicly admitted the fact) but that could be wrong. It might well have been Assange. That is also conceivable. No, I haven't watched the Shipton documentary but it was clear from early on that the accusations and charges had extremely dubious origins and seem to have been used and abused by the authorities to nail Assange (being a Deep State actor doesn't necessarily save one from the Deep State!). To the best of my knowledge the ladies involved said that the charges didn't correspond to what they said.
Don’t you think Snowden too. Assange and Snowden. How else are we to know. There was always something odd re: Lira. Chelsea seemed not DS but useful. We’re living in a grand Shakespearean drama. The ultimate tragedy & the penultimate farce. The audience is spellbound, trapped as if in the opera house being gassed. Gassed and gaslit.
Well, Ed Snowden is 'at least' =free= ! And his life is not (presumably) in imminent danger, but then- who can really say? Excellent observation- the Shakespearean drama.
Well said. A longer chain is not freedom. Sadly, nothing is going to change until there's blood in the streets. Not any street, but YOUR street. Until then, people will continue the 3-monkeys-mime, ignoring the fact that the we the people now are in a state of legal self-defense.
I sincerely think that the system will collapse much in the same way Communism collapsed in 1989. It will implode under the weight of its own contradictions.
So now everyone is talking about controlled opposition. In concert.
After RFK, Jr’s book, letting Faustus off the hook seems beyond preposterous. It was abominable when “Hope & Change” Obama suggested let’s just move forward beyond war crimes galore. But the crimes against humanity of Faustus’s tenure are clearly global, and to create documentation for an indictment and then ignore it would be beyond abominable. This from someone who wants/wanted to be 100% behind RFK, Jr., it is sad to realize. And there’s more, in the last few days, which defies the imagination of sentient beings. And it doesn’t mean that any of the other presidential contenders are in the least bit acceptable.
On the other hand, since every single life-sustaining entity of import is owned by corporate and institutional entities, imagine what would happen and how it would be if they all fail at once or even in fast dominoes. We would not need to be bombed to the Stone Age, we would simply, suddenly and inevitably, find ourselves in the Stone Age.
So … something to consider … as George Bush “The Decider” described the post 9/11 agenda (our takedown of which he was fully apprised) by saying, “It takes a lot of energy to land a 757,” it also takes a lot of energy to lift it off the ground or keep it in the air.
What are we to do. As you stated, “we are next to nowhere in this effort.” In effect, nowhere.

"Gassed and gaslit." indeed!
Please make an effort to watch 'Ithaka', the documentary. It's eye-opening and clears up some nagging questions (at least ones I've had, anyway).

Of course, as soon as I'll get a chance, I'll watch it. Thanks!

I hope you are right.
