The writer of this article is pointing out the fact that Pompeo cited Wikileaks numerous times while assisting Donald Trump with his election bid for President and is now speaking disparagingly about the organization, asserting that Wikileaks was a “hostile intelligence service”. Contradicting one's self apparently is the norm when it comes to our government officials and legislators. It’s as if they’re not aware of previous statements they have made. This can only point to their disingenuousness, which seems to be commonplace in Washington, D. C. However, my comment is not so much geared toward their disingenuousness, per se, neither is it to comment on Pompeo’s action in this regard, but rather, this whole scenario sheds a negative light on Donald Trump, himself, because during his campaign rallies, he oftentimes praised Wikileaks, going so far as to verbally state that he “loved” them.

Trump’s appointment of Pompeo suggests to me that it’s not Trump’s appointment at all, but rather, it is the “Shadow Government’s” appointment. How can Donald Trump say in one breath that he “loves” Wikileaks and contradict himself in the next breath by appointing someone to a cabinet position who apparently hates them? Where is Trump’s gratitude toward Wikileaks for their being instrumental in his becoming President? Has truth, honesty, and integrity become something that we in America are now deeming unworthy of respect and commendation? Wikileaks' sole purpose for existence is to expose corruption, which should be something that we appreciate, but rather than appreciate it, we’ve subjected its CEO to a life of confinement and incarceration rather than commendation and praise. Wikileaks has what should be an enviable reputation, in that it boasts in the fact that since its inception, which spans more than a 10-year period, it has never gotten it wrong or reported untruths. Donald Trump’s silence, concerning the unfair treatment of Julian Assange and his organization, is troubling, to say the least.

Julian Assange hiding with truth rather than from the truth

It has been said, regarding the POTUS, that he is “the most powerful person in the world”, I inserted quotation marks around this description because an argument can be made that the POTUS is not actually governing the United States, but rather, it is being governed by a “Shadow Government”, which makes the “Shadow Government” the most powerful entity in the world, and not the POTUS. This is clearly illustrated when we have changes in presidents, and even changes in party affiliation, but no changes occur in policy. Many various issues are campaigned on, but governance remains virtually the same.
