On Thursday, several men in black suits, surrounded by a dozen cops, raided the Ecuadorian embassy in London and kidnapped Julian Assange. Moments later, the Department of Justice released a statement charging Assange with computer hacking “conspiracy” for allegedly working with US Army soldier at the time, Chelsea Manning. Assange was in handcuffs when he was brought out and as he was being dragged from the embassy, he managed to grab the book, Gore Vidal: History of the National Security State. As he was shoved into the van, Assange held the book facing forward so that it could be seen by the camera.

For those who may not know, Gore Vidal was an American author who has studied the actual history of the United States—not the propagandistic chest pumping horse manure taught in schools—but the very real, violent and corrupt history of the United States government.

Vidal was born inside this system, educated in expensive private schools in Washington DC and grew up, quite literally, surrounded by the elite. His father was a high ranking official in the Franklin Roosevelt administration and his grandfather was US senator Thomas Pryor Gore (D-Oklahoma). He was incredibly smart and would eventually become a best-selling author.
In his 30s, after writing a series of mainstream novels, Vidal decided to try his hand at historical fiction. This decision would set him on a path to waking up to the atrocities carried out by the United States dating back to Abraham Lincoln.
Vidal was one of the first public figures to question the motives and wisdom of Lincoln—and he was lambasted for it. Despite bipartisan attacks on all fronts for his critical skepticism of the United States, Vidal’s six-volume “American Chronicle” series of historical novels about the United States became best sellers.
As the years went on, Vidal became outspoken about the rise of the military industrial complex and predicted the very situation we find ourselves in today.
“USA belongs to a handful of men who also control the media. Look at General Electric. It produces nuclear weapons for the Pentagon and also owns the NBC News cable channel, which is a very sophisticated censure apparatus, intrinsic to the system. It’s genius. It’s like an electronic cage around the nation which blocks information from getting through.” ~ Gore Vidal
In the book Assange was pictured holding, Vidal explained how the United States established the “massive military-industrial-security complex” and the “political culture that gave us the ‘Imperial Presidency.’”
The book was written by Vidal and The Real News Network senior editor Paul Jay. In it, the two dissected the apparatus that would eventually facilitate Assange’s arrest. Through propaganda and manipulation, the establishment has tricked the masses into accepting their corrupt order as the norm. Both Vidal and Assange knew this.
“It doesn’t actually make any difference whether the President is Republican or Democrat. The genius of the American ruling class is that it has been able to make the people think that they have had something to do with the electing of presidents for 200 years when they’ve had absolutely nothing to say about the candidates or the policies or the way the country is run.” ~ Gore Vidal
In the book, Vidal explains the false history of the US and how this false history is used to manipulate people into supporting mass murder and corruption.

“I think everybody should take a sober look at the world about us, remember that practically everything that you’re told about other countries is untrue, what we’re told about ourselves and our great strength and how much we are loved – forget it,” wrote Vidal.
“Our strength is there, but it’s the kind of strength that blows off your hand while you hold up the grenade; it’s a suicidal strength as well as a murderous one.”
Although Vidal died before realizing the plight of Julian Assange and the attack on the freedom of the press that it represents, he saw it coming decades in advance.
Here's the Trump DOJ announcement about its indictment of Assange. It relates *only* to the 2010 classified docs about the Iraq & Afghanistan War logs & diplomatic cables. It has nothing to do with the 2016 election. This is huge attack on press freedom https://t.co/sKRTeACsYZ

Sadly, not many people heeded Vidal’s words and we are witnessing a full scale attack on true independent journalism as we know it, and we are seemingly powerless to stop it. This is likely the reason Julian Assange grabbed that book and made sure we saw it as he yelled out through dozens of cops that we “must resist.”
Though Vidal had become somewhat cynical in his final years, his wisdom can help to free us from our self-imposed slavery of worshiping corruption and statism.
Julian Assange is a hero. His actions helped to expose horrifying crimes carried out by the US government, including mowing down innocent journalists with a .50 cal. His persecution by the UK and the US is retaliation and punishment for exposing these crimes and their actions, as Assange said, must be resisted.
If this established behemoth of media, government and tech giants are allowed to persist and snub out the independent press—as they are currently doing—we may soon realize George Orwell’s prediction of a boot stomping on a human face—forever.
Like Vidal, Assange wanted people to know true history as this is the path to peace. “If wars can be started by lies,” Assange so eloquently noted, “they can be stopped with the truth.”
We must resist.

Per Q, things may not be at all what they seem. “You may have the site, but we have the source”. “You” is the deep state. “Site” is current wikileaks. “Source” is, some smart people seem to think, Assange. The implications are clear if one simply thinks a little more carefully. If we are correct in understanding that Snowden was a Clowns In America asset who penetrated the NSA and then leaked their data to discredit the NSA and cause standing and power of the CIA to increase relative to the NSA, then the Q post seems quite clear. The NSA Q group/Alliance is protecting Assange. He was safe for 7 years. A new Ecuadorian president comes in, and he has to leave. Now how the case against Assange was drawn up, the DOJ will have to prove something likely impossible – that Assange actually put pressure on Manning to get more data and release that, making Assange no longer the publisher with 1st A protections and now a co-conspirator in the actual acquisition of classified data. The DOJ HAD to have a case for extradition to keep the deep state clowns of MI6 from taking him out. It’s so public, maybe he will actually make it to the US, where he will win his case and be protected from the deep state the whole time.
I certainly could be wrong in my analysis, but, my bet is Matt pretty much got this all wrong. This is nothing about 1st A and all about keeping our hero safe from the deep state.
Time will tell…

I have a feeling that there is much more to this story
than meets the eye. Why would the Trump Admin.
go after Assange right now ? If it was not for Wikileaks
and the HRC and DNC e-mails, Trump may not have
won the 2016 Election.
This could all be an “Act” to use Assange in the Take Down
of the Deep State and as a witness (evidence) in
the Military Tribunals.
If the U.S. Govt. really does prosecute him, then it would
be a black eye for the Trump Admin.
Facebook: removes page of former Ecuadorian president. Hillary: “Assange must now answer for what he has done.” Wikileaks programmer arrested in Ecuador. I’d say the deep state is in full panic mode. Patriots in control. Once Assange is safely in custody of the reformed DOJ, [DS] will be loosing it even more, more blatantly showing their true colors, and even the strongest of truth deniers will finally have to say, “hm, maybe I’ve been conned”

Assange was a member of the family (similar to the finders about mind control, Blackmail and worse) as a child and he has most certainly been an intelligence asset at some stage. I would guess mostly controlled opposition as mentioned in the protocols of Zion. Not to write him off completely some can come good. This is probably just theatre or he would have already been Gary Webbed.
Anyone who doesn’t see Assange as a hero is not a patriot and has no business in the country our ancestors bled for. (US)
