The Guardian said last week that Nigel Farage took a thumb drive to Assange. Interesting, because

Louise Mensch reported in July that her British sources said that Nigel Farage acted as a "courier" between Trump and Farage. And all the way back in January, 2017, she had named Nigel Farage as being part of Putin's plot.

But she's just crazy, right?

Nigel Farage may have given Julian Assange a thumb drive of data and was possibly a more frequent visitor than was publicly known to the Ecuadorian embassy where the WikiLeaks founder lives, according to testimony given to US congressional inquiry into the Trump campaign’s alleged ties to the Kremlin.

Glenn Simpson, a private investigator whose company compiled the controversial dossier alleging a conspiracy between Trump campaign officials and Russian agents, told the House intelligence committee that he was told by an unnamed source that the former Ukip leader had given data to Assange, but had no proof of the exchange.

“I’ve been told and have not confirmed that Nigel Farage had additional trips to the Ecuadoran [sic] Embassy than the one that’s been in the papers and that he provided data to Julian Assange,” Simpson told the committee, according to a transcript released on Thursday.

Asked what kind of data Farage was alleged to have passed to the WikiLeaks founder, Simpson replied: “A thumb drive.”






FROM HER FIRST POST ON PATRIBOTICS, A FULL YEAR AGO -- before DTs inauguration. How much of the MSM was reporting any of this?

Is it really worth chronicling the rest of the match? You, Mr. Putin, have relied on big data and on propaganda, including an army of trolls. It is plain to UK intelligence that you have a Russian spy ring at Cambridge University; that you may have combed through and stolen, illegally in the EU, the Facebook data of hundreds of millions of Americans; that you use propagandists SCR and combined GSR and SCR to form Cambridge Analytica; and that you used Twitter’s database to create a bot army.

It’s plain from both money and propaganda that Steve Bannon is your tool, your agent of influence; that you work through Nigel Farage and so on; that RT and Sputnik are not merely spy centers, but money-laundering tools; and that you have used ‘Big data’ of Cambridge Analytica (personality types plus propaganda from SCR) to poison the minds of Americans and indeed voters across the West. You have your hackers sitting on 4 Chan, where the ‘prank’ on the Brexit petition involved Russian server addresses.

Farange/Brexit -Trump/NATO Who benefits? Putin/Russia

It's time the world truly understand the game that is underway and the consequences will change the world in a very negative, dystopian way.

Another unsettling reality of a shutdown. How will we react to a world crisis? Or is that the point? How can the ruling (though not for long, I think) majority Party not keep government functioning? This is just getting started...

Not to worry, this group has survived trolls, bots, the Kremlin, Assange, the opposition from all directions & THEY ARE STILL HERE! Strong as ever.

The latest hit piece is being retweeted by that upstanding patriot, MIKE FLYNN jr
!! rofl


And looks like he's got some new friends helping him get that message out:

Louise responds


?s=17

Who was the 1st & 2nd to push this story?

?s=17

?s=17


Wonder what they have against Louise & her fine group? hmmm

Wait here's yet another that Louise reported long before MSM was authorized by their corporate leaders to make it public.
Dang, how do Louise & team patriot get all the good stuff so quickly!

Think Progress needs to take a closer look at their writers.
Whe Mike Flynn, Cardillo, Greenwald & the Bitcoin promoter are moving the story, perhaps ThinkProgress needs to find out how it ended up in their respectable site.

Mensch, Garland, Taylor & the names targeted will survive whatever is thrown at them.
