Ms Kraken-Whisperer has some seriously epic history - no wonder so many
whistleblowing folks knew _she_ was the one to send their info to.

   I Know Sidney Powell. She Is Telling the Truth
   https://stream.org/i-know-sidney-powell-she-is-telling-the-truth/

      By John Zmirak Published on November 19, 2020

      Back in 2014, I worked freelance for a public relations firm in
      New York City. It was there that I met an unusual woman. I didn’t
      know many lawyers or Texans, but I knew better than to chalk up
      her qualities to either her profession or her home. It’s rare that
      I encounter someone who I’m afraid to argue with, because of her
      sheer brain power and towering personal rectitude. But this was
      such a person.

      This woman had quite a career behind her. An evangelical
      Christian, she’d been a federal prosecutor — and quit, outraged at
      the corruption she saw among her colleagues. She did more than
      quit. Horrified by prosecutors hiding exculpatory evidence and
      targeting the innocent because of their personal politics, she
      became a defense attorney, to help people fight the feds.


      She Gave Up Everything to Expose Abusive Prosecutors

      But that wasn’t enough. At a huge financial sacrifice, she took
      time off from her practice to write a book. And self-publish it.
      And hire a public relations firm to get it out to people, when
      media ignored it. That book, Licensed to Lie, is absolutely
      chilling.
      https://www.amazon.com/Licensed-Lie-Sidney-Powell/dp/1732767602/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=licensed+to+lie+by+sidney+powell&qid=1605827478&sr=8-2
      It shows innocent Americans, even a U.S. Senator such as
      Ted Stevens of Alaska, unable to defend themselves against
      prosecutors with vendettas. It recounts how innocent companies,
      like accounting firm Arthur Anderson, can be broken by biased and
      dishonest federal prosecutors, and left in ruins. A real-life
      legal horror story, the book was too disturbing for me to read it
      through to the end.

      And its author was Sidney Powell, whom I used to go to lunch with
      in midtown Manhattan. In retrospect, I feel privileged. I knew she
      was a powerhouse, but I little suspected what an historic role she
      would someday play. When I saw that she was representing General
      Mike Flynn, I knew one thing for sure — that he was innocent.

      Sidney’s not one of those lawyers who works for people she thinks
      are guilty as sin. She wouldn’t have gone on Fox News, and One
      America, and Newsmax, night after night and coolly laid out his
      defense in a tone of righteous outrage if this were just some
      client. Because the abuse of power and perversion of law Sidney
      witnessed made her more than just some lawyer. It made her a
      crusader. It made her … Joan of Arc.


      The Theft of Our Election

      So watching the press conference with Jenna Ellis, Rudolph
      Giuliani, and Sidney Powell was different for me than for most. I
      don’t know Ms. Ellis or Mayor Giuliani, though I don’t suspect
      that they’re cynical, partisan hacks, as Ross Douthat suggests.
      Keep in mind that a week before the 2016 election, Douthat tried
      to suppress the pro-life vote for Trump by comparing voting for
      Trump to shooting abortionists on the street. That’s one way to
      keep a job at The New York Times, I suppose.

          There is nothing insane or unhinged about advancing false or
          extremely-unlikely claims if you have the cynical political
          goal of securing your client’s hold over a national political
          party and improving his chances in 2024.

      The Evidence Is Coming, to Federal Courts Near You

      I don’t have any evidence that Democrats used software invented in
      Venezuela to help socialist dictator Hugo Chavez steal elections.
      Or that the Soros-linked company Dominion was used by Democrats
      across multiple states to steal votes from Donald Trump to give to
      Joe Biden in the middle of the night, in just the strategic states
      where Trump was leading.

      I don’t have that evidence, but the fact that Sidney Powell claims
      she does is enough to convince me. This is a woman who gave up
      years of income she could have earned in her profitable practice
      to write, print, and promote a book no publisher would touch. Its
      charges were too explosive, I imagine.

      Its targets, like Andrew Weissman (the protege of FBI director
      Christopher Wray) wield too much power. Tellingly, none of the
      people Powell exposed in Licensed to Lie have dared to sue her for
      defamation or libel. She put herself out there as a target for
      such a suit by writing the book—with no publishing house’s
      attorneys on board to defend her. But no one did, I’m sure because
      her charges were absolutely truthful.


      Risking Bankruptcy, Disbarment, and Worse

      Non-partisan legal expert Jonathan Turley is one of the few
      reliable commentators left out there. He observed after watching
      the press conference that Powell and the rest of the president’s
      team took a similar risk today. They accused a massive
      corporation, Dominion, with links to friendly billionaires like
      Soros and many foreign governments, of felonies. Of colluding with
      corrupt election officials to steal the White House.

         The press conference was an explosion of potential defamation
         claims by individuals or companies. The only clear defense is
         truth. The team insists that it can prove these allegations. It
         may have to do so.  https://t.co/03PbArmqYb

      If these charges are false, their careers are finished. If
      defamation lawsuits get launched — and I don’t see how Dominion
      has any choice but to file them, or go bankrupt — Sidney Powell
      could lose her house and her license to practice law. She’d be a
      pauper. The same is true of Ellis, Giuliani, and anyone else on
      the president’s team. But only if the charges are unsupported and
      untrue.

      Given the death threats to election officials in Michigan, and the
      doxing of their children, for refusing to certify a corrupt
      election, I’d say Ms. Powell is risking a lot more than money.


      What Trump’s Team Faces

      Ranged against her is a vast media machine determined to suppress
      the truth. Billion-dollar networks that trumpeted the Russia
      collusion hoax and Brett Kavanaugh’s “teenage rape gang,” then
      pretended that Nick Sandmann was some kind of neo-Nazi. The same
      networks squelched the solid evidence from the Hunter Biden
      laptop, abetted by social media monopolies that silence ordinary
      Americans.

      And of course, she has a whole team of Democrats ready to start a
      “transition” to an office it seems Joe Biden stole. If they
      succeed, what do they have in store for her, using the power of
      the White House? Let’s remember that Kamala Harris’ old office is
      still trying to imprison David Daleiden, for exposing her old
      campaign donor, Planned Parenthood, on charges she corruptly
      launched.

      I also know what the Democrats have in mind for this country, and
      for President Trump’s loyal supporters: re-education, on the model
      of conquered Nazi Germany:

         The DNC is talking about “deprogramming” Trump supporters, like
         pro-Nazi Germans after World War II. But yeah, @POTUS‘
         supporters are unhinged conspiracy theorists.

      But there Sidney stood fearlessly on television, her voice
      quavering a little at the enormity of the evil she has helped to
      uncover. Meanwhile the Vichy-conservatives over at National Review
      and other “squish” venues sniped at her, and at Rudolph Giuliani,
      who faced down the hitmen of the New York Mafia, then broke its
      back. One called the Trump team “unhinged,” and sniffed at its
      lack of “dignity.”

          That display by Giuliani and Powell was unhinged, undignified,
          and came across as a mental breakdown.

      Sniffy Vichy Conservatives

      If you think your country’s elections are being stolen, and your
      main concern is for keeping your “dignity,” then I don’t want you
      next to me in a foxhole. You’ll switch sides if the enemy offers a
      chocolate bar, and a chance to save your skin.

      I want someone like Sidney Powell, a whistleblower and a Christian
      patriot. I hope her evidence is watertight and bullet proof—and
      frankly, that for the next few weeks she has taken to wearing
      Kevlar. That’s how much I trust the people who want to silence
      her.

      Please pray for her safety and the future of our democracy.
