“Planeload” Of FBI Agents Sent To Iceland To Frame Julian Assange

Ögmundur Jónasson, previously an Icelandic minister, became aware of an illegal framing attempt on the part of the U.S. government. Here he is in his own words.
You are “the minister” who refused to cooperate with the FBI because you suspected their agents on mission in Iceland were trying to frame Julian Assange. Do you confirm this?
Yes. What happened was that in June 2011, US authorities made some approaches to us indicating they had knowledge of hackers wanting to destroy software systems in Iceland. I was a minister at the time. They offered help. I was suspicious, well aware that a helping hand might easily become a manipulating hand!
Later in the summer, in August, they sent a planeload of FBI agents to Iceland seeking our cooperation in what I understood as an operation set up to frame Julian Assange and WikiLeaks.
Since they had not been authorised by the Icelandic authorities to carry out police work in Iceland and since a crack-down on WikiLeaks was not on my agenda, to say the least, I ordered that all cooperation with them be promptly terminated and I also made it clear that they should cease all activities in Iceland immediately.
It was also made clear to them that they were to leave the country. They were unable to get permission to operate in Iceland as police agents, but I believe they went to other countries, at least to Denmark. I also made it clear at the time that if I had to take sides with either WikiLeaks or the FBI or CIA, I would have no difficulty in choosing: I would be on the side of WikiLeaks.
This was published on December 7, 2016. None of this is surprising. But ask yourself about the notion of “fake news,” what the American MSM is telling you, and whether you heard this before?
The most probable answers are as follows: The American MSM is the undisputed king of fake news, and no you didn’t hear about this before. But remember boys and girls, Google thinks web sites like this one are “fake news,” and shill Mark Zuckerberg is going to use … wait, don’t laugh … Snopes … to “fact check” news and label it as fake if they deem appropriate.
This is the largest disinformation and propaganda campaign in American history, with the U.S. government, Facebook, Google, and the MSM on one side, and you on the other. You understand that, right? The target is you.

First time I used Snopes – 9-10 years ago, the specific document they had as “evidence” was prima facie false on its face. They provided a document to allegedly prove a fact – the document was redacted. The document itself, at the bottom in small print stated “any alteration to this document invalidates it” or words to that effect.
I just got in a small scale Twitter “discussion” with some morons who supported the Farcebook/Snopes idiocy.
As is customary, it would be wise to watch for the reasons that governments all over the world are now trying to quash “fake news.” While that’s a big issue what is in the other hand?

Yeah I get it, but then I’m not a consumer of state media anymore.
Will be interesting to see if the New York times makes the cut though.
Legacy media is dying a slow death and it’s by it’s own hand.
I have no use for any organization or person who lies either outright or through omissions.
And that includes the buffoons inside the beltway too.

Snopes builds credibility by printing the truth on issues that don’t matter, then parlays that credibility in the creation of propaganda on issues that do. It’s probably just another CIA project…
