Prayers For Mike Sylwester--And A Note Re Seth Rich
Many of you may have noticed that Mike Sylwester--who has been a major contributor here--has been absent in recent weeks. I heard from Mike late last night. He had a heart attack not long ago but has returned home and says he's recovering well. Your prayers are solicited.
Mike also sent along a link to an article at Consortium News by Craig Murray. It's the same article that also appeared at Zerohedge, but I forgot to mention Murray by name--which I should have--when I wrote A Good Place For Tim Shea To Start? To refresh everyone's recollection, that article (and the blog) dealt with the recent discovery that the FBI appears to have concealed the existence of emails with the subject line "Seth Rich" that were requested in a FOIA suit. The FBI, of course, denies any intent to conceal.
Like me, Mike was drawn to the passage in Murray's article about Wikileaks (Julian Assange) offering a $20K reward for information regarding the murder of Seth Rich. While it's possible to construct various theories for why Assange would offer this reward, the obvious one seems to me to also be the most probable: that Seth Rich did, in fact, provide Wikileaks with the DNC emails and Assange was simply seeking justice for a Wikileaks informant.
The failure of the FBI to interview Julian Assange regarding Seth Rich--as far as we know--seems inexplicable except as a measure to preserve the "Russian hack" narrative that has formed so much of the basis for the various hoaxes perpetrated on the American public by the Deep State. To suggest that this is a logical line of inquiry for the Barr/Durham investigation(s) would be a vast understatement.
