Police are getting ready to seize the belongings of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and search for documents and possessions he left behind when he was arrested by police after Ecuador had revoked his asylum status on 11 April.

On Sunday, the newspaper El Pais reported that Ecuador would provide the US with Assange's mobile phones, computers, memory cards, and other data storage devices following a search of the room where he resided for almost seven years.

The office of Ecuador's attorney general informed Assange's lawyer Carlos Poveda about this decision.

In turn, the coordinator of his defence in court, Baltasar Garson, said that the decision of the Ecuadorian party completely violates the institution of asylum.

Washington, who is seeking Assange's extradition on charges of conspiracy to commit computer intrusion, has until 12 June to provide London with all the necessary documents on the issue.

• Ecuador to give US all documents & devices Assange left in London embassy
• Embassy ambushed Assange with arrest to avoid mystery 'panic button' use

Countless investigations have shown that a vast network of none governmental organizations (NGOs), many with ties to unsavory figures such as George Soros and his "Open Society Foundation", are not only responsible for lobbying the European Union and its various governments for increased refugee admittance, but also in operating the rescue boat services that act as little more than ferries to taxi migrants across the Mediterranean where they arrived by the thousands per week. From that point, these NGOs, along with various religious and charitable institutions, have then proceeded to settle them in camps and social centers, all to the tune of large profits for the care and feeding of their human charge. Not only have migrants been given housing and meals, but even pay of €35 a week for their expenses (as well as free roam of cities and surrounding areas outside these camps under the pretext of seeking employment). As expected, this has generated more than its share of problems for those areas who have received this influx of human cargo.

Organized crime has also played its part well in arranging to smuggle many groups of migrants, either to their port of departure on the war-ravaged coasts of Libya, and even from a country of entry (where a migrant must reside for five years if they have claimed asylum), or even across these borders to wealthier nations with much more expansive social welfare benefits and economic conditions for them to take advantage of. Besides the usual groups of "Open Borders" and humanitarian advocates, these NGOs have also been accused of collaborating with organized criminal groups such as the Italian Mafia in order to speed up the migration process by smuggling them into other nations of Europe.[..]

One would be extremely naïve to believe that these recent events are just unplanned and sporadic coincidences. No, they are only the beginning of a culminated plan of many decades for the eventual merger of Europe and Africa into a single economic and eventually political union, all for the benefits of the elites who will have at their disposal an unlimited supply of mineral resources and human labor in which to process them.

Peter Hitchens, for a long time the only mainstream voice to express any doubts about the "official narrative" on Douma, wrote to the OPCW to ask about the leaked report.

He wrote a column about it. We suggest you read it, but the most important passage, taken directly from an OPCW statement, is this:

"Pursuant to its established policies and practices, the OPCW Technical Secretariat is conducting an internal investigation about the unauthorised release of the document in question."

Note the language. Nowhere is it disputing either the findings of the document, nor the veracity. Instead, they are "conducting an investigation" into its "unauthorised release".

That is as close to an admission as makes no difference. For now, we can safely conclude the document is real, and the findings genuine.

That means, not only that the Douma "chemical attack" was likely staged, but that the OPCW knew this and chose to cover it up.

A very distressing series of events, and one that could easily have lead to an all-out war between Syria, Russia and NATO.

Several major US corporations, such as Qualcomm and Intel, have reportedly joined Google in implementing President Donald Trump's executive order that declared Chinese tech giant Huawei a national security risk.

Following in the footsteps of Google, a number of top American chipmakers - including Intel, Qualcomm, Xilinx, and Broadcom - halted their business transactions with Huawei, according to Bloomberg, citing insiders. The companies are said to have told their employees that no new shipments will be made "until further notice."

Lumentum Holdings, which sells components to Huawei, also announced that it would stop selling to the Chinese firm. The company said Monday that it was lowering its quarterly outlook since sales to Huawei accounted for 18 percent of overall revenue in its most recent quarter.

In the meantime, Google has confirmed it was also "complying with the order and reviewing the implications" of the ban introduced by Trump under the pretext of national security. While Google has yet to make an official announcement, the Chinese smartphone manufacturer is likely to lose access to Android operating system updates, while its forthcoming smartphones will be shut out of most Google apps and services.

Washington accuses Huawei of spying on behalf of the Chinese government, but the telecommunications giant consider the US officials' rhetoric to be a blatant example of unfair market competition.
