Hmmm, Carole Cadwalladr's twitter feed is interesting this morning..

George Papadopoulos was in London six days ago, and posted a picture on twitter of himself outside Harrods, the only wording on the tweet being the hashtag #business; a message to someone, and of course we now know this was an FBI sanctioned trip and so the tweet was sanctioned.

So where was he off to? Well, Assange is holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy which is about 3 minutes walk from where the photo was taken. It's an open secret that Assange got the Clinton mails from the Russians and the lad is up to his neck in that affair. On the same day the Russian ambassador tweeted about 'fake news' regarding Russian involvement in Brexit; a subject one Nigel Farage has shown his arse over when questioned about and as we know, Jules and Nige are buddies who have met before... the referendum. Remember, Farage is a 'person of interest' in the FBI investigations into Trump, possibly because of his role as a errand boy between Trump and Assange, a result of a meeting brokered by the execrable Roger Stone.

On the same day as Papadopoulos' and the Russian ambassadors were tweeting, so was Assange, this time saying a year previously Wikileaks had rejected an approach by Cambridge Analytica (if you don't know who they are, Google away). Cadwalladr discusses these links here" Trump, Assange, Bannon, Farage? bound together in an unholy alliance

The article raises an interesting question: How has Farage got away with his and UKIP's links to Russia going virtually uncommented on? Something is happening here, and it's not easy to penetrate this nexus of power that appears to be influencing the democratic process in the UK and the US.

One thing's for sure; Farage and Trump are part of either an existing part of the establishment that has created a new power base in the west or it's essentially a new establishment, run from the east. Whatever it turns out to be, these treasonous capitalist rich white men are no friends of the ordinary working people, and they represent an enormous threat to our democracy.
