Assange is right to be paranoid

Normally I try to stay away from CT, but then people in the Clinton campaign say sh*t like this.
So you can understand why Assange might get paranoid when stuff like this happens.

Seth Conrad Rich’s unsolved murder on a Washington D.C. street has sparked a flurry of conspiracy theories because he was a staffer and self-described data analyst for the Democratic National Committee...
Rich, 27, who worked for the DNC on voting issues, was shot and killed in Washington D.C., and his murder remains mysterious. “Police have found little information to explain his death,” said The New York Daily News.
Conspiracy theories are raging about Rich’s death because of his DNC employment and also the lack of an obvious motive, eyewitnesses, or suspect in the case. Rich, 27, was shot on July 10, 2016 at 4:15 in the morning near a Washington D.C. neighborhood where he lived, said CBS News. Some are also raising questions about the August death of Shawn Lucas, who served the DNC with a lawsuit alleging fraud in the presidential race.
...
Rich’s mother told NBC Channel 4 in Washington D.C. that her son’s “hands were bruised, his knees are bruised, his face is bruised, and yet he had two shots to his back, and yet they never took anything.”

and held a special joint session to give a foreign leader something like 39 standing ovations?

Does anything in Washington D.C. surprise anymore? It's always silly season there. It's a "Lesser-Evil" Empire that is a mortal threat to humanity and needs to go the way of the USSR.

supposedly, the same people that rate Congress so low rate their own respective representatives very highly. (I emphasized "supposedly" because I heard this on TV, which automatically makes it unreliable in my mind.)

Any soldier worth his rank would happily tell that asshole to go take a flying fuck at a rolling doughnut.

Of course, the orders don't COME from these assholes. They come down from the chain of command, and our modern military is told that following orders is paramount, even if you disagree with them. (You're told to register a complaint, but still follow the order. Which is HORSESHIT, and anybody with any honor does not follow illegal orders.)

Which assassination IS.

That only comes from a fascist place where somehow the toppling of one's marked enemies is seen as a sign of power.

Sorry, just... ugh. As Poor Bloody Infantry, (Artillery, but the MOS morphed in theater) I feel that ignoring traditional rules of warfare degrade everyone involved. War is awful enough without assholes destroying the agreements that exist to protect YOUR OWN SIDE... dammit.

there is the deep state spook's who are have no chain of command and do their dirty work under the protection of national security. Assignations are not relegated to the military. The official assassinations might be but shit like this is a matter of power and money. Crime families are not likely to go through official channels to eliminate their political opposition. Allende?

What is a CT when the whole system is rotten to the core and full of thugs with guns and money. Lawyers guns and money are not normal channels. Actually there are no normal channels or legitimate chains of commands in any aspec of this horrific global take over. I refuse to disregard any dirty deed as CT as these people are so arrogant that they get away with murder daily.

that the purpose of an Army is to protect people FROM those kind of slimeballs.

Yes, I admit, I'm an idealist, but at the same time, it's why I push so hard for reform. We all CAN be better than we are, and I wish that they'd take the foul brakes of lies and deceit off..

A key difference between a psychopath and a sociopath is whether he has a conscience, the little voice inside that lets us know when we’re doing something wrong, says L. Michael Tompkins, EdD. He's a psychologist at the Sacramento County Mental Health Treatment Center. A psychopath doesn’t have a conscience. If he lies to you so he can steal your money, he won’t feel any moral qualms, though he may pretend to. He may observe others and then act the way they do so he’s not “found out,” Tompkins says.
A sociopath typically has a conscience, but it’s weak. He may know that taking your money is wrong, and he might feel some guilt or remorse, but that won’t stop his behavior.
Both lack empathy, the ability to stand in someone else’s shoes and understand how they feel. But a psychopath has less regard for others, says Aaron Kipnis, PhD, author of The Midas Complex. Someone with this personality type sees others as objects he can use for his own benefit.

when I read sociopath's I thought no their psycho killers. Qu'est ce que c'est? When they have a kill list on Tuesdays and and spooks at their disposal along with a defunct judicial system and no checks on power what's going to stop them. Kill, kill kill say the criminal pols to the cheers of USA, USA, USA. This country needs to be stopped. I just hope the rest of the world stops the lot of them. Economically would be preferable to taking on their armed and dangerous military enforcers.

Assange isn't an American citizen so he can't have committed treason on the United States.
But you know what is treason, Mr. DickHead? Giving away our national sovereignty over to the corporations and this president and every member of congress that votes for the TPP is committing treason.
Do you have anything to say about that? No?
I didn't think so.

Without being able to see her feet, it is hard to say. And don't forget, she is 68 years old. Balance starts to go as one ages. If I were on a box, I'd want a supporting hand too.

Caveat: consider the source (Drudge Report; also all over Republican media). I'm nearly Hillary's age and have no balance issues, but of course health isn't a OSFA proposition.

Hillary has been hidden from unscripted encounters for some time and, to me, looks unfit and unwell. Which wouldn't interfere with her backers catapulting her into office by any means. And if so, wouldn't be the first time a president's serious ailments were masked by a network of complicit insiders and media.

she may have fallen on her head and have a 'medical' problem but her sickness goes much deeper the that. She's always been a sick human. Goldwater drop the bomb? How psycho is that. When a society gets as sick as this one is who cares about her freaking medical records the woman is bat shit mad. She has always been mentally impaired. So is Trump hey even if she drops dead mid office or during the campaign (snort) who will replace her? heh. Nobody saner believe me.

Fun fact: This is actually the second time that he's called for Assange to be assassinated. The first was back in 2010.

This is the same guy that's made racist comments about Jews, Asians, and Muslims, and derogatory sexist remarks toward nudists and victims of rape.

I used to think that he was the "stupid" liberal that Fox News included in their shows to provide "balance" and make the left look bad, but now I think he's really more representative of the neoliberal Democratic establishment than I previously thought.

And I always thought of it as hysterical CT. But when that many people are murdered or die at a young age for no obvious reason, and in less than a month, I have to wonder if I need to start getting my news from the same sources as the Men In Black.

This is well into "enemy action" (Goldfinger) territory. As the saying goes, "Yes, I'm paranoid, but am I paranoid enough?"
