Her Royal Herness Hillary, also wanted to murder Assange. He still lives due in part to the intervention of righteous Jews such as Greenwald, Ellsberg, and Chomsky.

Purdue Pharma's founder Arthur Sackler along with his brothers grew up in Brooklyn during the Depression as the child of Jewish immigrants from Galicia and Poland. His genius lay not so much in the chemistry of the brain as in the chemistry of modern advertising. "In 1997, Arthur was posthumously inducted into the Medical Advertising Hall of Fame, and a citation praised his achievement in 'bringing the full power of advertising and promotion to pharmaceutical marketing.'" Sackler was, in other words, a drug dealer who knew how to change the system to accommodate what was previously known as either unethical or illegal activity. In this, he was no different from other Jews of his generation-like Meyer Lansky or Moe Dalitz, for instance- who accomplished the same feat by bringing about the decriminalization of gambling and usury. The Sackler family epitomizes in our day the perfect marriage of science and capitalism which Hariri celebrates in Sapiens. Like the English involvement in the opium trade in the 19th century, Arthur Sackler provided the imperial project with practical knowledge, ideological justification, and pharmaceutical gadgets which turned Americans into Harari's idea of the ideal citizen, which is to say, into a mass of drugged out zombies who made the Jews rich by becoming their docile chemical slaves. Without the collaboration of the Jewish pharmaceutical industry, "it is highly questionable whether Europeans [i.e., the Anglo-American empire] could have conquered the world."

Then Carlson goes on to question how in spite this behavior, Republicans treat Pompeo as a pillar of the party. Former Director of the CIA, Catholic Colby made a lot of Deep State enemies during the Church Committee hearings. There's a Conspiracy (eg Reality) Theory about how Colby was about to expose an Omaha pedophilia ring when he mysteriously met his demise while canoeing back East.
