NSA hiding communications between Seth Rich and Julian Assange

The National Security Agency is hiding records about murdered Democratic National Committee employee Seth Rich, according to one of my sources, who informed me yesterday that the records are classified as a special access program (the highest level of classification) because they include intercepted communications between Mr. Rich and Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.

Meanwhile, I've been authorized to release the transcript of a July 15, 2020 deposition of Pulitzer-Prize-winning journalist Sy Hersh, wherein Mr. Hersh is forced to admit that he did speak with a senior intelligence official about an FBI report about Mr. Rich and Wikileaks. That contradicts much of what Mr. Hersh has said publicly since early 2017 (more on that below).

As my regular readers know, Mr. Rich was murdered in Washington, D.C. on July 10, 2016, and shortly thereafter Wikileaks published thousands of DNC emails that were very embarrassing to then-Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. On August 9, 2016, Mr. Assange intimated that the DNC emails were obtained from Mr. Rich, not Russian hackers.

If you doubt my source, recall that three weeks ago — after three years of denials — the FBI was finally forced to admit that it had thousands of records about Mr. Rich, as well as his laptop. Meanwhile, virtually no one in official Washington has lifted a finger to help.

The Trump administration is declassifying as-yet uncorroborated intelligence, recently briefed to President Trump, that indicates China offered to pay non-state actors in Afghanistan to attack American soldiers, two senior administration officials tell Axios.

The big picture: The disclosure of this unconfirmed intelligence comes 21 days before the end of Trump's presidency, after he has vowed to ratchet up pressure on China, and months after news reports indicated that the Russians had secretly offered bounties for Taliban militants to kill U.S. troops in Afghanistan.
  • The Chinese embassy in D.C. did not respond to a request for comment. Trump is not believed to have discussed the matter with President Xi Jinping.
  • It was not immediately clear whether any members of Congress or President-elect Joe Biden have been briefed, though Biden now has access to the President's Daily Brief (PDB).
Behind the scenes: The intelligence was included in the president's briefing on Dec. 17, and Trump was verbally briefed on the matter by national security adviser Robert O'Brien, officials said.
  • Administration officials across multiple agencies are currently working to corroborate the initial intelligence reports.
  • Axios was not able to visually inspect any reports detailing the intelligence. A summary was described by phone by the officials.

Writing for The Scotsman, the Under-Secretary of State for Scotland Iain Stewart claimed attempts to improve transport were being blocked by Holyrood and labelled the move "petty politics".

Led by Network Rail chair Sir Peter Hendy, the review will conduct a "detailed initial assessment of options for improved road and rail connections between England and Scotland, and England and Wales, as well as improved air links across the UK".

Mr Stewart said: "The UK Government has embarked on a comprehensive review of transport infrastructure right across the UK, to build a comprehensive picture of the state of the nation's vital linkages, enabling us to look at where and how they could be improved.

Best of the Web: Professor Neil Ferguson interview: "There's something very nice about pandemics"

Neil Ferguson: The man behind the casedemic
There was a time in a different world, a world that shook hands, met relatives and commuted to work, when none of this was obvious. When it wasn't clear that the way to stop an infectious disease was to stop a society and the very idea was horrifying and unimaginable.

"Of course we knew it was possible that social distancing could control a respiratory virus," says Neil Ferguson, the Imperial College professor whose maths is now for ever associated with the lockdown. "But there is an enormous cost associated with it."


Comment: No, they did not know that it was possible that "social distancing could control a respiratory virus." The idea was first bruited in a high school project, by the daughter of a 'senior scientist', just over a decade ago. Her project work didn't even win first prize because it is long since scientifically and medically established that respiratory illnesses caused by aerosolized viruses cannot be controlled by keeping people apart.


Back in 2019, about the time someone was getting infected by a bat, no European country's pandemic plans seriously entertained the prospect of putting a country on pause.


Comment: No one was infected by a bat. Sars-CoV-2 is a laboratory-tweaked coronavirus. It either leaked directly from a lab, or leaked through person-to-person transmission when people vaccinated with this experimental virus began spreading it to non-vaccinated people.


Then, that's what China did. "I think people's sense of what is possible in terms of control changed quite dramatically between January and March," Professor Ferguson says.

He is speaking in a short hiatus in another busy day. In the morning, he has spent two hours briefing a Commons select committee on the new Kent variant, which his calculations suggest spreads faster. In the afternoon, in part on the basis of those calculations, Matt Hancock, the health secretary, will put another swathe of the country into stricter restrictions. Just hearing that the professor's maths is behind another lockdown this month will at this stage in a politicised pandemic provoke some to fury.

Comment: 'A minority of people are not like us' - he wishes!

In reality, he is part of the minority that believes in the pseudo-reality they have built in their minds. And such people will not rest 'until all think and see as I do'...

Mandatory masks and movement restrictions are violation of human rights - Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina

At the session of the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina held yesterday online, a decision was made which says that the mandatory wearing of protective masks and the restriction of movement of BiH citizens that was adopted due to the coronavirus pandemic constitutes a violation of human rights.

As stated, the decisions of the crisis staff on the prohibition of movement and mandatory wearing of protective masks represent interference with the basic human rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution of BiH and the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.

Comment: Note those countries that won't acknowledged that these tyrannical orders violate the most basic of human rights - and worse, because some countries are attempting to coerce citizens into taking experimental vaccines:

Trump cutting short Florida vacation, returning to Washington

President Donald Trump is cutting short his Florida holiday vacation and returning to Washington on Thursday, one day earlier than expected for reasons the White House didn't explain.

The White House announced the abrupt change in the president's schedule late Wednesday, hours after Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., said he will raise objections next week when Congress meets to affirm President-elect Joe Biden's victory in the November election.

It's a futile attempt to remain in power that Trump has been pushing following the failure of scores of legal challenges to the election outcome by his campaign, including at the Supreme Court.

"99.99% accuracy rate" Raffensperger says signature match audit found no evidence of voter fraud in Cobb County - Only 2 out of 15,118 signatures identified as problem

Georgia Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger
Crooked Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger on Tuesday evening said the signature match audit found "no evidence" of voter fraud in Cobb County.

In fact, the ballot envelopes were so perfect and pristine that out of 15,118 randomly selected ballot envelopes examined by GBI investigators - only 2 signatures were flagged.

Comment: The battle between Trump and his legal team to prove the obvious election fraud, and the "swamp" on the other side, is still going on. They will use every dirty trick, lie, and manipulation to install their puppet Joe Biden as the next US President. With him, they can continue their aggressive agenda of war, criminality, and enslavement of free people around the world.

Trump campaign takes Wisconsin constitutional fight to US Supreme Court — challenging 50,000 illegal absentee votes

Supreme Court
The Trump campaign on Tuesday took its Wisconsin Constitutional fight to the US Supreme Court.

Trump advisor Boris Epshteyn broke the news today on Steve Bannon's War Room.

Comment: Trump's Legal team is determined to use every legal way to prove election fraud.
Jenna Ellis is President Trump's Senior Legal Advisor, and she joined Grant Stinchfield Tuesday night on Newsmax More in the Gateway Pundit article here.
Ellis told Stinchfield that the Trump legal team is going to continue to fight because they care about election integrity and they're going to push these cases through every legal and viable avenue.

Jenna then added that President Trump's Wisconsin case is very similar to George Bush's 2000 case in Florida.
Jenna Ellis: If this election and all of the fraud is not corrected by January 6th, this will have been a failure not of the Trump legal team, not of the failure of evidence of the Supreme Court, the Judicial branch, the entire way down. And, Grant it will be mainly a failure of the state legislatures... Bush v. Gore is precedent here on electoral challenges and they need to recognize that President Trump absolutely gets the same opportunity to argue his case that President George W. Bush did in 2000. And to treat him differently than every other sitting president and every other election is manifestly interfering in the due process in our constitution.

The Republic of Ireland will be placed under its most severe Level 5 Covid-19 restrictions until January 31 amid rising numbers of coronavirus infections, Prime Minister Micheal Martin said on Wednesday.

The tougher measures will force the closure of pubs, gyms and non-essential retail, as well as imposing a ban on all household visits and a 5km limit on travel.

The Irish government has also pushed back the return of primary and secondary school pupils by five days, to January 11.

"We must protect the lives of those we love; the actions we are taking are saving lives... right now, this is what we must do. We must make sure as many of our people as possible are with us to enjoy the brighter days ahead," Martin said in a televised speech to the nation.

Now that a majority of the country believes the election was fraudulent and the Supreme Court has completely abdicated its authority now the next obstacle in front of President Trump is here.

And, as always, it comes from his complicit Secretary of State who undermines Trump with his every move to turn the State, Defense and Intelligence apparatuses of the U.S. against Russia.

Pompeo goes on Mark Levin's show, whose ratings are through the roof right now, to tell all the slavering normie-conservatives that it was definitely the Russians who hacked our government.


Comment: We may, in fact, be treated to an overturning of the election. We'll just have to wait and see,
