Why I Have Gone Silent

in #life7 years ago

I'm already getting messages of concern, so just want to check in with you all and let you know what's going on.

People who know my work and have followed me for years recognise that when I go silent, something major is on its way.

I have been very open in previous weeks/months about the fact that I have been researching a huge story about Julian Assange. It's been more than a year and a half since I came up with the original concept, and it was filed away on my to-do list for the longest time. By the time I finally sat down last November and started doing the legwork, an unexpected, massive rabbit hole opened up that I have been deep diving down ever since.

Where I have ended up is nowhere near where I began, and I could never have imagined what lay in store once I started scratching below the surface.

While initially intended to be about Assange, my research soon led me to what really lies beneath the official narratives about the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), Aaron Swartz, Kevin Poulsen, Micah Lee and the Freedom of the Press Foundation.

By January, I had identified a lead of extreme significance to one of the angles of the story - a developer called James Dolan. As the person who had brought WikiLeaks volunteer Aaron Swartz to Kevin Poulsen to work on what became SecureDrop, he was the only surviving link between WikiLeaks, Aaron Swartz, SecureDrop and the Freedom of the Press Foundation.

Then it was announced by the Freedom of the Press Foundation, the very same week, that Dolan had died. Allegedly, a suicide.

In the days prior to Dolan's death, I had a browser window open on my totally-pwned Mac, with the paragraph containing his name visible at the top of the page. My intention had been to track down him down to see if he could contextualise or corroborate the crux of my findings.

In the wake of his ill-timed demise, I decided that it was important that I make public what I was working on, and my research. So that others could follow the breadcrumb trail if for any reason I was unable to complete the article. So I screenshotted my browser history and posted it on Twitter.

A few weeks later, another major focus of that research also passed away, ostensibly of natural causes. Again, his death was announced by Freedom of the Press Foundation.

I have no evidence that either death was anything other than the suicide and natural passing that they have been publicly proclaimed to be, even if the timing of both seems rather favourable to those with a vested interest in controlling the public perceptions of SecureDrop and the EFF.

I also do not have any evidence that Barlow, while having a long history of working with the CIA and NSA, had any malicious intent in establishing EFF, or that he was anything other than a true friend to Julian Assange for many years.

However, although my tweet called Barlow "the link" between the EFF, the CIA and NSA, it has emerged that there are many more, as my article will explain in depth. Those links extend not only to the intelligence agencies but also directly to the State Department.

The opening line of the initial December first draft of my story read: "I am concerned that Julian Assange is slowly dying in front of our eyes while we argue about his tweets."

In the wake of the recent hit piece of WikiLeaks by none other than Micah Lee for The Intercept (one of the architects of the agenda to deny WikiLeaks whistleblowing platform had any influence on Aaron Swartz's work on what became SecureDrop), the line seems eerily prescient.

But the findings in my research go way beyond Assange (and what he did or didn't tweet) and even beyond WikiLeaks. What I have uncovered, is the total manufacturing of the legacies of household-name activists both alive and deceased, in what can only be described as a conspiracy to control the historical record.

What we are allowed to know, what we are allowed to remember, and how future generations are allowed to perceive these significant figures in technology and activism, is being carefully crafted by the same agencies who have sought to destroy them. Additionally, organisations which we have been taught to believe represent our best interests and advance the cause of internet freedom, are both financially and literally in bed with those who undermine both. And some key figures involved in them have been appropriating technologies that were not of their own devise, then promoting manufactured falsehoods to cover their tracks, at the expense of WikiLeaks.

I intend to expose that, very soon.

Compared to the gravitas of the above, I consider offshoot issues that I've been asked to write about, such as Whitney Webb and Sibel Edmond's attacks on long-time WikiLeaks defender and intelligence agency target Glenn Greenwald; Micah Lee and Cora Currier's inept and poorly executed attacks on WikiLeaks; and Barrett Brown's attacks on Julian, and on myself for relentlessly defending WikiLeaks; to be little more than circus sideshows intended to distract and further divide and conquer. So while I intend to address them in passing, you can expect their pettiness to be relegated to the minor sub-sections that they deserve.

That all said, thank you to everyone who has been sending me messages of support and concern - as of this writing I am fine, and I am temporarily suspending work on all other projects until the article is complete and published.

If you need to contact me, I am available on Discord and also reachable by DM on Twitter, which I check daily.

Love,
Suzie

The CIA deepstate has been killing everyone the question remains why? What does WL have did Michael Hastings give a document dump on his MISOC research? What is MediaOps and could it resurrect the old Senate hearings on the CIA's Operation Mockingbird campaign? Two people who worked on Secure Drop turned up dead, several people who worked with WL turned up dead and then there is this huge trail I wrote about for Activist Post, it seems only you and I are the ones paying attention to this.. https://www.activistpost.com/2017/12/masked-intruders-broke-into-wikileaks-head-legal-office-in-madrid-tape-cameras.html

Aaron Swartz and James Dolan helped develop Secure Drop both dead this tweet says it all by WL.

It is darkly ironic that the original name of the project was "Dead Drop", and now many of the people connected to it are dead.

Upvoted and re-steemed. I have long suspected the EFF of being controlled opposition, something I have explored at some length in my Shadow History of Burners series. I know a great deal about SecureDrop also. Rather than a lengthy comment here I will write my own Steemit post sharing what I know and suspect, I will tag you in it @suzi3d.

There is quite a bit of overlap between the EFF and Burning Man, which I have provided evidence to show is a staging ground for DARPA projects with many military/intelligence connections. In particular I talked about John Perry Barlow in Part 6 here and the EFF in Part 7 here.

I will be live on YouTube at noon Thursday Feb 22 New Zealand time (3pm PST on Wed 21) talking about Barlow and the other intelligence agent/counter-culture guru Timothy Leary.

Wow, they are getting desperate, all of these murders are done right out in the open. I hope they have to pay the price. God bless Trump.

Wow Suzie it sounds like you've dug up something really huge, I cannot wait to read it! Particularly compelling is how it's made other stories like those concerning Micah Lee and Whitney Webb seem like circus sideshows. Stay safe. The work you do is so valuable to us!

Sounds like it's going to be an interesting article and it's a WL related topic I know little about, so am looking forward to learning some new things when it's published. :)

Thank you Suzie. I've been waiting for this article, knowing you really wanted to get it out

I just wanted to come out of the shadow and say that more people watch after you than you know. You are a sister that we will protect. If at any time you need assistance there is many standing ready.

Always trust your gut instincts and stay safe.
