Wikileaks Link Sent To Trump Jr. Now Declares Seth Rich The Leaker
In a direct message conversation on Twitter published by Donald Trump Jr. between himself and WikiLeaks — the publisher linked him to a website with a header that now states, “My Name Was Seth Rich.”
“Strongly suggest your dad tweets this link if he mentions us,” WikiLeaks said in the conversation, directing to the president’s son to the link “wlsearch.tk.”
At the time of the messages, the site served as a search tool to dig through the WikiLeaks archives. Now, when you click on the side menu, the only option is a category titled “Seth Rich.” The link takes users to a page that reads, “You finally found me! I’m the source of the John Podesta/DNC Email hacks. I’ve been waiting so long for you to join me.”
The message makes it clear that the site has been edited since the conversation by referring to the exchange with Trump Jr. It is unclear if the site was hacked, re-registered or if it was deliberately edited by someone associated with WikiLeaks.
“Thanks to Wikileaks and Trump Jr you’ll all soon know why Hillary Clinton and John Podesta had me killed,” the website reads. “As you can see I’m no Russian agent. I was just a proud DNC staffer who believed in the system until I found out Hillary Clinton and the DNC rigged the primaries against my candidate Bernie Sanders. That’s when I decided to take action and release these emails to Wikileaks.”
The home page continues on to assert that “John Podesta was determined to make an example out of me and had me taken care of. Why did you think they didn’t let the FBI examine the DNC servers? Yep, those servers would have lead them straight to me. John couldn’t let that happen.”
The website continues on to claim that Podesta is a pedophile.
“Thanks again Wikileaks for upping my reward to solve my murder. I wonder why you’d do that for me? Oh, you are trying to tell the world I was your source. Whoops cat’s outta the bag now,” the page concludes.
A WHOIS search shows that the website is currently registered to a domain mill called the Freedom Company. When contacted by Big League Politics and asked if they post content on the websites they have registered to them, they explained that they only provide free domains.
The .tk country code stands for Tokelau — a tiny island of about 1,300 people in the Pacific Ocean. People in the nation were unaware of the internet and their right to a country code until Joost Zuurbier of Amsterdam found them and explained so that he could eventually launch the Freedom Registry. Tokelau receives a cut of the Freedom Registry’s earnings which now makes up one-sixth of their economy.
“Freedom Registry makes money through ads on expired domains. Zuurbier says registration and renewal are free for users, but when they abandon the site or don’t meet the minimum requirements of 25 unique visitors every 90 days, the domain gets ‘parked.’ That means the URL still exists, but the content is replaced with ads tailored to the original site,” CNN reported of the service.
The first mention of the website that is still currently available on Twitter was from October 12, 2016 — by WikiLeaks. The tweet came nine days after the link was sent to Trump Jr. The website is also currently copyrighted 2016.
WikiLeaks made headlines in 2016 when they offered a $20,000 reward for information on the murderer of the slain DNC staffer. The website’s founder Julian Assange also mentioned Rich during an appearance on Dutch television.
“Whistleblowers go to significant efforts to get us material and often significant risks. There was a 27-year old that works for the DNC who was shot in the back… murdered.. for unknown reasons as he was walking down the street in Washington,” Assange said during an interview with Dutch TV last year. When asked by the host if he would suggest that Rich was involved, he stated that “we have to understand how high the stakes are in the United States and that our sources face serious risks… that’s why they come to us so we can protect their anonymity.”
Additionally, as Kim Dotcom began to assert that he knows for a fact that Rich was the leaker, Assange sent out an ominous tweet using the hashtag #SethRich. He asserted that while he would never name a leaker, sometimes others may.
Rich was shot in the back in the early morning hours of July 10, 2016, near his home while he was on the phone with his girlfriend — 12 days before the publication of the DNC emails by the controversial publisher. The police initially ruled that it was a botched robbery — but his wallet, watch, and necklace were still on his person when he was discovered by police. https://bigleaguepolitics.com/wikileaks-appears-confirm-seth-rich-leaker-messages-don-jr/

Hasn't Wikileaks been saying that the leaker was somebody inside the DNC for a while now?
Everyone really NEEDS to read the source link at the bottom of the 'article'.
The link at the bottom of the article returns you to this page.
Regardless of that, why is fake news being posted on this forum?
XX has seeded 3 or 4 fake news stories in recent weeks. Is someone trying to wreck the reputation of this website?
It reinforces what WikiLeaks had been saying for quite a while now. Their informant WAS FROM WITHIN THE DNC.
You do realize that ANYTHING that opposes the left / Dems you and John seem to pounce on and call fake news.
No. Reality. Something that you apparently have been avoiding.
You do realize you keep using the term "worked", past tense.
Like CNN, MSNBC or WashPo?
No. The United States has been working with Russia on many thing for a very long time. If you want to get upset over it now that Trump is President, it would only show the probable level of hypocrite you really are.
Shit, now that I think about it, I'VE worked and trained directly with the Russians in Bosnia in 1997. At the same time the British was there as well as the Poles.
Deleted for skirting. D. Not somebody that freaks out every time the President sends a tweet or has been in an adolescent temper tantrum since Nov 20th last year.
Also, double check 5.4.1.3.… above.
You're wasting your time. If you want to stay sane don't engage in politics on this site or keep your comments neutral. These guys have won in every branch of government but it still isn't enough. I don't engage much anymore. It's sad how completely unhinged things have gotten.
Jeremy, I don't waste my time with you any more. Lost cause and all that.
PJ,
many a 'tear' has to fall, but it's all, in the game.
Like Hillary for hiring Fusion to get Russian dirt on Trump?
The intent of oppo research is to destroy one's opponent and win an election. What you claim Trump did was nothing more than oppo research to get dirt on Hillary. The difference? Hillary hired a third party so she could keep her hands clean.
As to the foreign country hacking the intent there is to destroy confidence in the electoral process in the target country. The Russians achieved that goal. A goal the US has achieved in multiple places as well when we interfere with elections in other countries.
Don't make promises we both know you can't and won't keep.
I know he has nothing. He hasn't had anything for quite a while.
Comment removed for skirting the CoC [ph]
And how many have you shed since November 20, 2016? I'd think you would be so dehydrated by now that you'd look like a shriveled mummy..
And nobody on this side of the ground disagrees that the Russians tried. They have been trying to create discord and confusion for decades. Where is the collusion between Trump and the Russians to change votes? Where is the collusion between Trump and the Russians to cheat Hillary? We are going to spend even more millions of taxpayer dollars to find that there isn't any collusion.
AND..... you blew it. Not 15 minutes after you made this promise you broke it. I'm really disappointed in you John. Oh, who am I kidding, no I'm not. I actually expected it.
This seed is total bullshit.
I know people can read, but I'm beginning to wonder about their comprehension ability. Read the article several times like I have and then you'll see the article itself indicates the doubt in the validity of the information. It's no different than the NYT article about kicking the player off the team. It's bait. The only difference is the NYT article is designed to make you think the player was kicked off because of his religion instead of he just broke the rules and wanted to fight with the coach, a reasonable reason to kick him off the team, I would think.
I'm not smarter than anyone else and I can see what the object of this article is and see it put forth the information to debate the authenticity of the information as well.
And Snopes is another site that doesn't have a comment section, because they couldn't handle the feedback they'd get and they know it. We can use these sites like Factcheck.org or Snopes, but we shouldn't put our total faith in them being the last word. They twist the questions around and then twist the answers around. By the time they are through and decided something is true or false, they've never really addressed the real question you want answered.
Six, you are a serial fake news seeder on this site. Your credibility about fake news is less than zero.
Which would infer that posting bullshit is a waste of space in this forum. Especially when, as you point out, the author basically states 'Of course, I have no clue whether any of this bullshit is true but I'm writing it anyway'. That would lead a 'news' editor to dump the article all together, but authors like the one from the article make their living posting fabrication and innuendo on a day to day basis and the websites that 'publish' them are just in it for the clicks. The 'what if' and 'whataboutism' is intellectually bankrupt.
I would suggest you read the article a few times Dulay. If there is an article in the newspaper about some people being accused of breaking the windows in a school bus, do you think no one should write an article about it? And if they did and within that article they indicated the authenticity of the accusations were in doubt, would that be good enough reason to write the article?
What about an article a basketball player who got kicked off the team for disobeying the rules and wanting to start a fight with the coach right at the beginning of a ball game with hundreds of spectators present and then the first sentence in the article is leading people to believe the player may have been kicked off the team because he was a Muslim and the school may have been denying his freedom of speech as a reason? Well, that's what the NYT did. Of course it's there job to promote division and Communism and has been for years.
WTF does the NYT have to do with the seed?
Neither of your examples are cogent nor are they relevant to the issue at hand.
The dems turn on Clinton Inc.
I wonder when they move to a country with no extradition agreement? Samoa would be great.
Samoa has an extradition agreement with the US...
Of course there is American Samoa which by it's name alone tells you the story.
Do you also wonder when pigs will fly?
Actually, the author bailed on Bernie, not Clinton.
Samoa has an extradition agreement with the US...
According to this it doesn't.
My mistake Samoa does not have a agreement with the US on extradition.
It sure wouldn't be my first choice to seek asylum. Samoa and American Samoa have a very close relationship and it does with New Zealand. One flight a week to and from Samoa to the US..Air New Zealand, and 3 flights a week between Samoa and Hawaii.
It's not easy to get there or get out of or to.
.
No problem my friend. I sometimes wonder how fresh some internet articles really are so it could have been wrong.
Having lived in Samoa, there my not be an official one, but there are American Samoans that have fled to Samoa, only to be returned to American Samoa and visa versa.
You are well travelled my friend! I'll bet you have many stories to tell.
Some real beauties, like my plane landing in the middle of a military coup it Pakistan.
OMG!
