(62,325 posts)Ronald Reagan'. Our neocons have been busy in Europe, working, as they do here, to rid the continent of any Left leaning leaders.
Rove was in Sweden helping his old friend get elected while he was under subpoena HERE in the US to appear before Congress.
What happened to his refusal to appear before Congress? NOTHING. He was busy helping 'Europe's Ronald Reagan' get elected in Sweden.
There is no doubt among anyone who isn't a Neocon, that Wikileaks was a target of the US Govt the moment he revealed he had information on a major US Bank, we know now that was BOA. That information was stolen and one month AFTER Assange's revelation of this, Assange was suddenly a wanted man.
But Wikileaks had exposed a CIA document months earlier, in which CIA operatives were discussing how to silence Wikileaks, especially Assange. They discussed various 'options', then settled on a Sexual Scandal The think was that the Left supported Wikileaks, so by implicating Assange in a sexual assault case, he would lose his supporters.
Problem is, that hasn't happened because many had been following Wikileaks long before many in the US even heard of them.
I have no doubt this was a CIA/Karl Rove psyops operation from the beginning.
Let them FILE CHARGES! But we know that is never going to happen because it is all a scam to silence Whistle Blowers and the Independent press.
BOA was taking contracts on 'how to smear' anyone who was supporting Wikileaks.
One of those 'supporters' was Glenn Greenwald, a mere blogger at the time, who had been writing about the Big Banks.
Anonymous exposed one of the Private Security Contractors who was submitting a 'contract' to BOA, the emails released by Anonymous showed that HB Gary was working on a smear campaign against people like Glenn Greenwald.
That smear campaign must have been contracted out even after its exposure. Because we've seen it even here on DU.
No charges against Assange after so many years and still we see a few here trying to justify the entire scam.
