A common thread between WikiLeaks deaths and banker deaths

Gavin Macfadyen
Director of WikiLeaks, Gavin Macfadyen
Julian Assange, founder and Editor-in-Chief of WikiLeaks, is the man responsible for the daily release of emails showing the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign to be an unprecedented machine whose tentacles and snitches reach into Wall Street, big corporations and big media. Earlier this year, WikiLeaks released emails showing that the Democratic National Committee had maliciously conspired to undermine the presidential campaign of Clinton challenger, Senator Bernie Sanders, in order to elevate Hillary Clinton to the top of the ticket.

Now it has emerged that two of the top lawyers representing Assange, John Jones in London and Michael Ratner in New York, died within less than a month of each other this year. And, Assange's closest confidant in London and a Director of WikiLeaks, Gavin Macfadyen, died just yesterday.

Wall Street On Parade has carefully investigated the similarly unprecedented banker deaths over the past two and one half years. What is noteworthy about the banker deaths is that at the time of the deaths, Wall Street banks and their global brethren were under the largest investigations for criminal rigging of markets to occur in the past century. Even during the Senate investigations of the early 1930s when crooked business journalists touting fraudulent Wall Street stocks and crooked Wall Street bank execs manipulating stock prices were regularly revealed through subpoenaed documents, there was no similar rash of deaths or series of alleged suicides. (See related articles below.)

Now there is WikiLeaks leaking emails and documents that show that the same kind of cartel-like behavior that has corrupted Wall Street to its core has also infested the top of the Democratic Party. And, amazingly, three key members of the Assange/WikiLeaks support network have died within six months of each other this year. The statistical probability of this being a natural occurrence is slim.

Comment: The body count surrounding the Clinton's is just astounding:

Obama lied about knowledge of email scandal to protect Killary's White House bid

Thanks to Wikileaks, we now have the smoking gun email irrefutably proving not only did President Barack Obama know about Hillary Clinton's non-government-issued email account, he used it in correspondence with her.

Even more damning to the president's credibility, it appears the lie was a purposeful attempt to protect Clinton's upcoming bid for the presidency.

Shortly after the New York Times broke the story on March 2, 2015, of Clinton's use of a personal server to supplant the government system — and, as has been revealed, to thwart transparency — Obama announced publicly his lack of prior knowledge.

"The same time everybody else learned it through news reports," the president told CBS News White House correspondent Bill Plante, as Zero Hedge reported. "The policy of my administration is to encourage transparency, which is why my emails, the BlackBerry I carry around, all those records are available and archived.

"I'm glad that Hillary's instructed that those emails about official business need to be disclosed."

Electronic spy agency GCHQ paid a New Zealand firm to tap undersea internet cables in order to bulk-hack massive amounts of data, according to the latest Snowden leaks.


Comment: Well isn't he just the everlasting gobstopper fun intelligence facts.


Documents obtained by the Intercept show UK spies got the NZ-based firm Endace to create data capture technology that scooped up information.

The CEO of Endace, which was founded in 2001 as an outgrowth of an academic project, was recently bought and then cut loose by the US company Emulex.


Comment: Guess they weren't that successful.


At the time of its return to independent status, CEO Stuart Wilson said, "operating as an independent company again allows us to continue to deliver innovative solutions to our customers under the Endace brand they've known and trusted for more than 15 years."

Facebook accused of 'collective punishment' in crackdown on Palestinian users

Facebook has been accused of systematic unfairness as it blocks dozens of accounts of Palestinians of all walks of life in what is viewed as an Israeli crackdown on free speech.

Testimony from rights groups and several recent reports detail the extent of this, believing it to be part of an Israeli strategy against all Palestinians. The latest is an analysis by the Palestinian Center for Development and Media Freedoms (MADA), which details a dramatic increase in account bans over 2015 - including the targeting of journalists, academics and civilians alike.

Israel officially met a Facebook delegation this September for talks, where it pressured the social media giant into targeting comments or public stances that may appear to incite violence.


Comment: Who did they ban, what did the banned people say to get banned? We'll throw you a bone - sure Israel is actively trying to censor Palestinian activism - but can we all agree that not every ban just falls out of the sky?

US considered sending CIA-sponsored Syrian terrorists even more weapons to use against Russian planes & artillery

The US administration has been secretly considering sending more firepower to CIA-backed rebels fighting Syrian government forces, including weapons that can be used against Russian aircraft and artillery, according to a media report.

Citing US officials, who preferred to remain anonymous, the Washington Post reported the existence of a so-called 'Plan B,' which in case of "failed diplomatic efforts" provided for arming US-backed Syrian rebels with truck-mounted anti-aircraft weapons that could help rebel units "defend themselves against Russian aircraft and artillery."

It says the plan was raised several times over the course of recent weekly White House meetings and was submitted to President Barack Obama during a National Security Council meeting on October 14.

The newspaper states, however, that 'Plan B' was "neither approved nor rejected," with Obama reluctant to make any decision on the matter.

New arms supplies to the so-called moderate opposition could lead to the deaths of Russian military personnel who have been aiding the Syrian Army, and this could in turn cause a direct confrontation with Moscow, which Obama has been trying to avoid.


Comment: Soviet memories of the destruction US supplied armaments caused in the 1980's conflict in Afghanistan die hard. It is unlikely Russia will tolerate a repeat of that situation.

Desert Rose: Asma al-Assad gives first interview in 7 years (VIDEO)

asma assad
The Western world is dividing Syrian children according to the political views of their parents, Asma Assad, the Syrian First Lady, said in a rare interview. She said the mainstream media only concentrated on those stories which matched their policy.

The wife of President Bashar Assad gave an exclusive interview, her first in seven years, to Russia's Rossiya 24 channel. The full version of the interview is to be shown on Saturday.

Asma was asked why the Western media is selective in covering the Syrian crisis, in particular the humanitarian catastrophe that has engulfed the country.


Comment: Does anyone else think 'Lady Diana' when they hear this woman speak?

Does she sound like someone married to a 'brutal dictator'?

It's a pity she doesn't speak up more, but then, her hands are full with helping to heal all those wounded and traumatized by the West's war on her country.

A Rose in the Desert: Asma Al-Assad, Lady Diana of the Middle East

Update: Russia 24 spent a week with Asma al-Assad prior to the interview above, accompanying her during visits from Syrian families who lost sons and fathers in the war, and her visits to the families and the hospitals where they are being treated. What can we say except to simply watch it and see how lucky Syria is to have a woman like her, intelligent, compassionate, strong-willed, fearless, and perhaps most importantly, loved and respected by the people whom she serves.

WikiLeaks lists at least 65 corporate 'Presstitutes' who colluded to hide Clinton's crimes

Revelations from the Wikileaks release of John Podesta's emails yet again prove mainstream, corporate media serves as Hillary Clinton's personal cheerleading squad — and is devoid of any iteration of journalistic integrity.

Thanks to Wikileaks and the Intercept, in fact, we now have a list of no less than 65 mainstream "reporters" whose campaign coverage constitutes propaganda for the Clinton campaign — and no wonder, considering the obscenely lopsided drivel presented by their outlets.

As (actual) journalists Glenn Greenwald and Lee Fang reported on October 9, the Intercept exclusively received documents obtained by the source known as Guccifer 2.0 evidencing Clinton campaign tactics to court journalists portraying the former secretary of state in a positive light.

"As these internal documents demonstrate," the Intercept reported, "a central component of the Clinton campaign strategy is ensuring that journalists they believe are favorable to Clinton are tasked to report the stories the campaign wants circulated.

The Russian Aerospace Forces are on duty on the Syria-Iraq border and are ready for an immediate attack on terrorists, the Russian General Staff said Tuesday.

According to Lt. Gen. Sergei Rudskoi, chief of the Russian General Staff Main Operational Directorate, Russia is monitoring the situation in Mosul. There has been no evidence of the US-led coalition's significant successes in liberating the city from the Daesh militants.

"The Russian Aerospace Forces are monitoring the situation on the Syria-Iraq border around the clock using drones and other reconnaissance devices. The Russian planes are on duty in the sky, ready for immediate strikes against terrorists," he told a briefing.

Trump proclaims Obama should be investigated over Clinton emails

US President Barack Obama should be investigated because he "knew all about" Hillary Clinton's email arrangements, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said.

"That's why he stuck up for Hillary, because he didn't want to be dragged in. Because he knew all about her private server," Trump said in an interview with Reuters. "This means that he has to be investigated."

On Tuesday, WikiLeaks published another batch of emails from the private account of Clinton's campaign chairman, John Podesta. One of the emailed exchanges showed the campaign reacting to Obama that he learned of Clinton's private email server use from the news.

"We need to clean this up - he has emails from her - they do not say state.gov," Cheryl Mills, a longtime Clinton aide, wrote to Podesta after Obama made the comments in a March 2015 television interview.

Islamic State has reportedly massacred scores of people as the coalition's operation to retake the Mosul continues, the UN said. French President Francois Hollande urged the anti-IS forces to prepare for the aftermath of the jihadists' defeat in Iraq.

According to preliminary information from sources in Iraq, 50 ex-police officers were executed in a building outside Mosul on Sunday, Rupert Colville, UN human rights spokesman, said.

On Thursday, Iraqi security forces found the bodies of 70 civilians in the village of Tuloul Naser south of Mosul, he added.

"The bodies had bullet wounds, but it isn't known for sure at this point who was responsible for the killings," Colville as cited by Reuters.
