Assange: 'CIA Not Only Armed Syrian Terrorists -It Paid Their Salaries'

By Chris Menahan

 Wikileaks' Julian Assange is continuing his attempt to "take down America any way he can" by accurately reporting the truth.

Saturday on Twitter, Assange highlighted an article from Thursday where the Financial Times noted how many Syrian rebels are getting salaries from the CIA.

Assange said they "buried the lede":

Financial Times buries the lede. CIA not only armed Syria's insurgents--it paid their salaries.

At the Aspen Security Forum on Thursday, CIA director Mike Pompeo said, "WikiLeaks will take down America any way they can and find any willing partner to achieve that end."



Assange responded:

What sort of America can be "taken down" by the truth? https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/888385652345237504 …

To be fair, leaking is a major problem. Specifically, the leaking by deep state cronies who are working overtime to overthrow our democratically elected president. America's massive spy apparatus -- which was supposed to be used against foreigners -- is instead being used by the deep state to sabotage our own democratically elected president.

Obviously strongly prefer normal democratic and constitutional politics. But if it comes to it, prefer the deep state to the Trump state.

It's understandable Pompeo doesn't want the CIA to be leaking like a sieve, but let's look at some of these recent leakers.
 
• Bradley Manning leaked information on US war crimes in the neocon war in Iraq.

• Snowden leaked information on the US spying apparatus being used domestically against Americans rather than against foreigners as promised.

• Reality Winner was a stupid little girl who should have never been hired if the government still had basic standards and wasn't more interested in hiring in the name of "diversity" rather than ability.
When you have a "multicultural" society filled with wildly different people with wildly different interests, getting "loyalty" from the diverse bunch you hire is simply never going to happen.

Very few young people have any sense of loyalty to our deep state because it doesn't represent their interests. We're not living in the America of the 1940's and 1950's where Americans were largely united in the fight against communism and were more than happy to execute leakers like Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.

Why States Still Use Barrel Bombs

Smoke ascends after a Syrian military helicopter allegedly dropped a barrel bomb over the city of Daraya on Jan. 31.(FADI DIRANI/AFP/Getty Images) Summary Barrel bombs are not especially effective weapons. They are often poorly constructed; they fail to detonate more often than other devices constructed for a similar purpose; and their lack of precision means they can have a disproportionate effect on civilian populations. However, combatants continue to use barrel bombs in conflicts, including in recent and ongoing conflicts in Africa and the Middle East, and they are ideally suited to the requirements of resource-poor states. Analysis Barrel bombs are improvised devices that contain explosive filling and shrapnel packed into a container, often in a cylindrical shape such as a barrel. The devices continue to be dropped on towns all over Syria . Indeed, there have been several documented cases of their use in Iraq over the past months, and residents of the city of Mosul, which was re

Russia Looks East for New Oil Markets

Click to Enlarge In the final years of the Soviet Union, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev began orienting his foreign policy toward Asia in response to a rising Japan. Putin has also piloted a much-touted pivot to Asia, coinciding with renewed U.S. interest in the area. A good expression of intent was Russia's hosting of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in 2012 in Vladivostok, near Russia's borders with China and North Korea. Although its efforts in Asia have been limited by more direct interests in Russia's periphery and in Europe, Moscow recently has been able to look more to the east. Part of this renewed interest involves finding new export markets for Russian hydrocarbons. Russia's economy relies on energy exports, particularly crude oil and natural gas exported via pipeline to the West. However, Western Europe is diversifying its energy sources as new supplies come online out of a desire to reduce its dependence on Russian energy supplies . This has

LONDON POLICE INDIRECTLY ENCOURAGE CRIMINALS TO ATTACK RUSSIAN DIPLOMATIC PROPERTY

ILLUSTRATIVE IMAGE A few days ago an unknown perpetrator trespassed on the territory of the Russian Trade Delegation in London, causing damage to the property and the vehicles belonging to the trade delegation , Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said during the September 12 press briefing. The diplomat revealed the response by the London police was discouraging. Police told that the case does not have any prospects and is likely to be closed. This was made despite the fact that the British law enforcement was provided with video surveillance tapes and detailed information shedding light on the incident. By this byehavior, British law inforcements indirectly encourage criminals to continue attacks on Russian diplomatic property in the UK. Zakharova’s statement on “Trespassing on the Russian Trade Mission premises in London” ( source ): During our briefings, we have repeatedly discussed compliance with the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, specif
