The Next Four Years

Julian Assange and Wikileaks have created enormous problems for Hillary Clinton, her political cabal, the DNC, and indirectly, a main stream media that refuses to investigate the many indications of Clinton's corruption and outright criminality. The Clinton's have a long and sordid history of political and personal revenge focused on political enemies (think: House of Cards). At the moment, Assange is #1 on their enemy's list.

This week, it appears that a Clinton affiliated entity (more in a moment) tried to tie Assange directly to the Russians and also to a pedophilia charge. Facts continue to emerge, but Tim Johnson provides background:
The anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks is claiming that an elaborate and somewhat wacky smear campaign has targeted the group’s founder, Julian Assange, to paint him as a pedophile and Russian client.

WikiLeaks said the smear efforts, which it’s outlined in tweets and a series of documents over the past two days, include a sham offer from the Russian government to pay Assange $1 million to promote a women’s dating site and a separate scheme to link Assange to a criminal case in the Bahamas.

The assertions are the latest twist in events that have kept Assange and WikiLeaks at center stage of the presidential campaign. The smears come as WikiLeaks releases tens thousands of emails hacked from the Democratic National Committee and from the personal email account of campaign chairman John Podesta.
To avoid addressing the incriminating content of the hacked emails, Clinton and her campaign do what they always do, they obfuscate. They talk about the Russians, about hacking, about espionage, about anything but the content of the emails. When they can't avoid the content, they imply it is forged.

And when that doesn't work, they attack the messenger—viciously. Johnson provides an outline of the case:
The alleged smear campaign centers on a Houston company, toddandclare.com, that describes itself as an online dating site for single women.

A representative for the company, Hannah Hammond, wrote to Assange’s legal team in London and Sweden with an offer to pay him to appear in a tongue-in-cheek five-minute television advertisement for the company that it said would air on the Lifetime channel.

“The source of the $1 million is the Russian government. It will be wired to Mr. Assange’s nominated account, upon his cooperation, and before filming of the ToddandClare.com ad by the SoHo camera crew,” Hammond wrote in a Sept. 16 email, according to a copy WikiLeaks published.
But the plot thickens. ToddandClare.com is a very suspicious entity that has connections to Clinton and her campaign. The main stream media, of course, would never investigate those connections, but in our digital world, crowd-sourced investigation at Reddit has begun and it's uncovering very interesting facts. The entire thread, here, is long and very complex (the Clintons always hide their criminality in complexity), but definitely worth a read.  Private tech-savvy citizens are doing what the media refuses to do: investigate. As you'll see, the perpetrators, now that they have been discovered, are already deleting entire websites and twitter feeds to hide their tracks. In addition, the web of Clinton connections that comes out of this is absolutely fascinating.

When you read the Reddit thread, recognize that information presented has not been vetted and may be incorrect at the margins, but the overall thrust is that Clinton is doing what she always does—trying to impugn legitimate facts and criticism by destroying the people who present the legitimate facts and criticism. The criminality and corruption of the next four years has already begun.

UPDATE #1:
-----------------------

The Reddit thread continues to grow with "coincidences" and suspicious Clinton connections growing apace. One of the contributors in the thread writes:
"Did we just tie Hillary Clinton to an attempt to destroy the reputation of Julian Assange with pedophilia accusations? Isn't this a criminal conspiracy involving many individuals and a number of front companies, and thus falling under RICO?"
Heh. That is what it appears to be!

UPDATE #2:
------------------------

Deep in the thread another commenter writes: "These people can't even control their sick sense of humor. Todd and Clare. Tod und klar. Dead and clear." Just another coincidence, right?

UPDATE#3
-------------------------

Deep into the Reddit thread (you'll have to hit 'show more comments' a few times) there's a cogent counter argument that has merit and suggests that this might be "conspiracy Jiu Jitsu" in the sense that the perpetrators of the Assange attack were awfully sloppy in hiding their tracks (after crowd sourced investigation uncovered them). There is some merit to this argument, but consider the arrogance of the Clinton machine. The Clintons and their cronies have been enormously sloppy in the past (think: private email server) and have paid no price for it—none at all. That leads to a feeling that they are bullet-proof.

Is this just crazy conspiracy stuff? That's always the Clinton's meme. But past history indicates that the "conspiracies" always cited by the Clintons turn out to be something very different indeed—a path to the truth.
