    Default Kidnapping, assassination, London shoot-out: CIA's secret war plans against Wikileaks

    trump's CIA at work. Bypass the rule of law and go straight to murder.

    "In 2017, as Julian Assange began his fifth year holed up in Ecuador’s embassy in London, the CIA plotted to kidnap the WikiLeaks founder, spurring heated debate among Trump administration officials over the legality and practicality of such an operation.

    Some senior officials inside the CIA and the Trump administration even discussed killing Assange, going so far as to request “sketches” or “options” for how to assassinate him. Discussions over kidnapping or killing Assange occurred “at the highest levels” of the Trump administration, said a former senior counterintelligence official. “There seemed to be no boundaries.”

    The conversations were part of an unprecedented CIA campaign directed against WikiLeaks and its founder. The agency’s multipronged plans also included extensive spying on WikiLeaks associates, sowing discord among the group’s members, and stealing their electronic devices. While Assange had been on the radar of U.S. intelligence agencies for years, these plans for an all-out war against him were sparked by WikiLeaks’ ongoing publication of extraordinarily sensitive CIA hacking tools, known collectively as “Vault 7,” which the agency ultimately concluded represented “the largest data loss in CIA history.”

    President Trump’s newly installed CIA director, Mike Pompeo, was seeking revenge on WikiLeaks and Assange, who had sought refuge in the Ecuadorian Embassy since 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden on rape allegations he denied. Pompeo and other top agency leaders “were completely detached from reality because they were so embarrassed about Vault 7,” said a former Trump national security official. “They were seeing blood.”

    It's always a dilemma when a member of the military and our intelligence services is given an illegal order or be fired.

    The usual tactic is to delay, delay, delay by showing plans in development that never actually go into action. In short, since the mission was never completed, nothing illegal was done by the CIA.

    OTOH, is there something that can be done to those giving illegal orders?

    Thank heaven nothing happened but it's scary to think this was even being talked about, and later corroborated by US officials. Heck, it wasn't that long ago when trumpers loved Wikileaks for what they did to Hillary.

    I wish something could be done to Pompeo but you and I both know the chances of that happening are zero.

    It clearly shows the murderous, hypocritical heart of the Trump administration.

    I have no doubt the CIA (the real CIA, not Pompeo) were part of the Resistance meaning they adhered to the Constitution and not the whimsies of a fucked up pedophile like Donald J. Trump.

    So that makes it OK for Trump to officially set up an assassination?

    Looks like Pompeo is pissing his panties in anger over this being revealed (because he's the main person implicated).

    I wouldn't be surprised at all if it comes out that much the same was plotted for Edward Snowden by the CIA.
