I am reliably informed that the NSA or its partners intercepted at least some of the communications between Mr. Rich and Wikileaks. Before elaborating on that, however, I should first note the extent to which the “deep state” has already tried to cover up information about Mr. Rich. In an October 9, 2018 affidavit submitted in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, FBI section chief David M.Hardy testified that (1) the FBI did not investigate any matters pertaining to Mr. Rich, and (2) the FBI was unable to locate any records about Mr. Rich. Both claims were unequivocally false.
Potential scenario: Thanks to their NSA electronic surveillance venue, the Deep State stumbles onto the DNC leaker Seth Rich. Seth Rich turns up dead (July 2016). Admiral Mike Rogers terminates blanket contractor access and visits Trump Tower (Nov 2016).
DNC leaks terminated. The evil Russian narrative lives on.

/\ It really was a rather hasty departure, that Awan bros repatriation to Pakistan. Not a great deal of follow-up either. Don't know what happened to the Falls Church, VA used car business.
I'll believe it when I see it. The Basij will suppress it ..hard
[PJ Media] Iranian sociologists are talking about the formation of a new social class in Iranian society, dubbed the "vertical class." This has led to the fact that some key developments in Iran, especially after the 2019 uprising, cannot be sufficiently explored by prevailing sociological analyses.
If a quarantine were to be imposed, more than two-thirds of the population living under the poverty line would essentially rebel, with nothing to lose. And if quarantine measures are not implemented, it is estimated that one to two million people would lose their lives to the virus. The regime is hoping that the latter option is better.
The Iranian regime's ideology is based on medieval religious dogmas that are incompatible with modern science and progressive thought. This is not to say that Tehran does not exploit scientific advancements for its own parochial and ominous objectives. At the same time, in order to impose itself on the world of the 21st century, it continues to create crises and chaos in order to extract concessions and survive. This conduct has had significant impact on the socio-economic fabric and modes of class formation inside the country.

Has Iran run out of our Obama-supplied money yet? It does seem like Iran's meddling in the Mid-East has been curbed since Gen. Qassim Suleimani had his accident (sarc--he stepped in front of a missile) and the COV-19 virus. I could seem this regime toppling.
