::::::At the end of the day, what matters is whether Pompeo supported and was involved in efforts to kidnap and/or kill Assange. If the answer to that question is "yes" (and I am confident that it ''is'' "yes"), then there should be little remaining doubt as to where Pompeo's loyalties ultimately lie.

::::::That being said, the next question is "how should this wiki respond to this story?" Should it ignore the fact that Pompeo conspired to kidnap and/or kill one of the Deep State's biggest enemies? Because the story, even though credible, happened to be broken by someone who has a left-wing political agenda? And if the answer to ''that'' question is "yes," then the final question is "what is the point of this wiki opposing the Deep State, when it is unwilling to call out some of the Deep State's highest-ranking members just because they happen to belong to a faction that is not leftist?" Who is the first political opponent, the Deep State or the left? You can't pick both.--[[User:Geopolitician|Geopolitician]] ([[User talk:Geopolitician|talk]]) 22:37, October 2, 2021 (EDT)
