A liberal that spares with me over Q posted this on Facebook today and asked the following: "Q" maintains that Trump prisoned Assange to protect him…I'd like to see how Q explains this":
US intelligence sources discussed poisoning Julian Assange, court told
excerpt:
Morales attended a security sector trade fair in Las Vegas, where he obtained a contract with Las Vegas Sands, a company owned by the US billionaire Sheldon Adelson. The American was a friend and supporter of Donald Trump, who was a presidential candidate at the time.
Morales was said to have returned to the company’s offices in Jerez in the south of Spain and announced: “We will be playing in the big league.” The witness added that Morales said the company had switched over to what the latter described as “the dark side”. This allegedly involved cooperating with the US authorities, who Morales said would ensure that they obtained contracts all over the world.
An increasingly sophisticated operation to monitor Assange was launched and would accelerate after Trump assumed office in 2017, the witness said, adding that Morales would make frequent trips to the US with recorded data.
The other witness, an IT expert who had joined UC Global in 2015, also referred to the trips to the US by Morales, who they said spoke about it in terms of “going to the dark side”.
The witness was tasked in December 2017 with installing new cameras at the embassy that would, unlike the previous cameras, also record audio. They said Morales later instructed that the cameras should have a livestreaming capability “so that our friends in the US” would be able to access the embassy in real time.
This “alarmed” the then employee who said it was not technically achievable. The response of Morales, he alleged, was to send him a document with detailed instructions on how to do it.
“Obviously the document must have been supplied by a third party, which the witness expects was US intelligence,” said Summers, as he read out parts of the submission.
The witness was said to have refused, saying it was manifestly illegal.
The witness also claimed that the company’s US contacts had become nervous when it appeared Assange might be on the verge of securing a diplomatic passport from Ecuador in order to travel to a third state…"
