UPDATE: Joe Lauria went to NZ "a few months ago" (before the Mueller report came out) and recorded a 4 hour interview with @KimDotcom. Three segments can now be heard on Consortium News here at 46 mins, 1:14 mins and 1:39 mins. I transcribed the main bits from the first part, and pretty much everything in parts two and three. They are added at the end of this post.
We're not supposed to talk about Seth Rich any more. Even though his murder remains unsolved. Even though there's still no firm proof he WAS or WAS NOT a WikiLeaks source. Following a pathetic "myth busting" podcast series by Michael Isikoff called "Conspiracyland", it seems The Powers That Be have declared that any further discussion of the Seth Rich case is verboten. So of course I am wading in.
Medium.com has been leading the censorship charge, deleting all but two stories that mention Seth Rich. Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz and others have had stories from years ago removed without explanation. Meanwhile Wikipedia pages (too often edited by vested interests) have become so strident about "conspiracy theories" that they are now almost comical.
Now isn't that strange? It reminds me of a favourite quote from Julian Assange, explaining his original concept for WikiLeaks: "It was an epiphany to see the signal of censorship to always be an opportunity, to see that when organizations or governments of various kinds attempt to contain knowledge and suppress it, they are giving you the most important information you need to know: that there is something worth looking at to see if it should be exposed and that censorship expresses weakness, not strength. So what's the "opportunity" here? What "weakness" are they trying to hide by censoring discussion of Seth Rich? In the wake of the..

It was a hit. Nothing stolen. To me, thats it period. I dont need to dig for a damn conspiracy, Obama and Clintons finger prints are all over it. He was hit on his way to the FBI.

......”Ratner did not mention Seth Rich in this public forum, but in a legal filing of July 15, 2019, Ed Butowsky names Ellen Ratner, a longtime friend, as his source of the claim that it was Seth Rich who was responsible for leaking the DNC emails to Wikileaks. According to Butowsky, it was she who prevailed on him to contact the Rich family with this news in the fall of 2016. When Butowsky did so, he claims, the Rich family told him they already knew that Seth and his brother Aaron Rich were involved in the DNC email leak. From the Butowsky lawsuit: “Mr. Rich said he was reluctant to go public with Seth’s and Aaron’s role in leaking the emails because `we don’t want anyone to think our sons were responsible for getting Trump elected.’
Sensational stuff, all of it ignored by the post-modern reporter trained only in ferreting out “conspiracy theories” and “white nationalism.” “

If somebody wanted to kill him, they would have killed him and then taken his wallet to make it look like a robbery. The fact that they didn’t get the wallet doesn’t mean it wasn’t a robbery attempt gone wrong. When the victim resists and the robbers shoot him, it’s often enough to wake people up and start the robbers running away.
I never really followed any of this. I don’t really care how Assange got the info. Nothing really came of the info anyway. No one’s mind was swayed when it came to walking into a voting precinct over that stuff.
It did show that podesta and his brother are as corrupt as they come and did the same exact thing that Manafort is in prison for. Only they were allowed to retroactively fill out the paperwork and amend their taxes.
If I’m not mistaken there was an email that had some very strong allusions toward what happened to Scalia....nothing.
I can say that when I see interviews with Binney, from the NSA, who was the OG on all that stuff and he says, without a doubt that it was a breach, not a hack, and the info was downloaded on external drives, I’ll take his word for it, rather than liberal political hack from Crowdstrike.
I do have one question. Is it true that Rich did not have life threatening injuries and was alive in the hospital?
I have never been able to believe that there was no CCTV footage, relevant to Seth Rich’s last movements, in a shopping zone of a major US city. Cameras are everywhere.
[From the Butowsky lawsuit: Mr. Rich said he was reluctant to go public with Seths and Aarons role in leaking the emails because `we dont want anyone to think our sons were responsible for getting Trump elected. ]
I’ll bet not. They know what their party associates are capable of. They probably didn’t agree with what Seth was doing anyways and now they’re scared for their lives.
OMG!! The parents didn’t want to find the KILLERS because they knew it was DEMOCRATS!
Hi Mr. Rich!!
No...the parents didn’t want to “find the killers” because Seth’s brother helped him hack the files from the DNC and didn’t want to lose TWO sons.
Third Possibility: Seth Rich DID steal the DNC emails on a thumbdrive, AND Seth Rich WAS murdered in a robbery gone wrong.
That no doubt happens some times. In this case, John Podesta pronounced that they “needed to make an example of someone” over the email leaks. To make an example, a hit needs to be recognizable as such, not hidden under a robbery. That observation proves nothing, but it fits the available evidence.
it is true that Rich did not have life threatening injuries and was alive in the hospital.
