Exclusive video shows whistleblower and Wikileaks co-founder Julian Assange being carried out of the Ecuadorian embassy in London by force, before being shoved into a police vehicle.
Assange had been living in the embassy for the last seven years protected by political asylum.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been evicted from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London where he has spent the last six years. Ecuador's president has announced that the country has withdrawn asylum from Assange.
The eviction follows
reports that the Australian founder of the WikiLeaks whistleblowing portal would be handed over to British authorities.
Ecuador denied the reports and said it had no intention of stripping him of his protected status, but apparently another decision was made by Quito.
That's only a day after WikiLeaks Editor-in-Chief Kristinn Hrafnsson claimed that an extensive spying operation was conducted against Assange in the Ecuadorian Embassy. During an explosive media conference Hrafnsson alleged that the operation was designed to get Assange extradited.
Assange's relationship with Ecuadorian officials appeared increasingly strained since the current president came to power in the Latin American country in 2017.
His internet connection was cut off in March of last year, with officials
saying the move was to stop Assange from "interfering in the affairs of other sovereign states."
Comment: So the Pathocrats finally got their man.
Assange now faces being 'extraordinarily renditioned' to the US on whatever trumped up charges U.S. authorities can come up with.
Freedom of the press is dead. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do may be used against you in our secret courts...
Watch now as liberals smugly squirm with faux-righteousness about this development. Being anti-freedom (the moniker 'liberal' is an ideological mask disguising their innate totalitarian tendencies), they will be unable to hold back their glee that Assange is about to 'get what he deserves' for his part in stopping one of their kind - Hillary Clinton - from becoming US president in 2016.
In a sign of the times, the Kremlin has called on the Anglos to "
respect Assange's rights," something that would certainly happen in Russia these days, but is extremely unlikely given the anglosphere's totalitarian drift. From the safety of his political asylum in Russia, Ed Snowden
tweeted that
"Assange's critics may cheer, but this is a dark moment for press freedom."
UPDATES 15:30 CET
UK police have confirmed Assange was arrested with a view to
extraditing him to Beast Central - the USA.
Ecuador's govt reports that it has
revoked the citizenship it had granted Assange in 2017. Which just goes to show that citizenship of most countries is worthless under a One World Government.
Assange's mother has
cursed Ecuador's president Lenin Moreno as a "dirty, deceitful, rotten traitor."
Here's footage of Assange being
hauled before Westminster Magistrates Court in London:
And a thumbs-up for the cameras:
Assange has plead not guilty to the charge of 'failing to surrender to bail'... based on charges the Swedes brought against him... which have long since been dropped.
The US government
has piped up too, saying that it wants Assange to face a charge of "conspiracy to commit computer intrusion" - specifically, they allege that Assange helped Chelsea Manning get the files that became the
Afghan War Documents leak and
Iraq War Documents leak, which Wikileaks then published in 2010.
UPDATES 12:30 EDT
Pamela Anderson, a close friend of Assange, has responded with this:
Kim Dotcom:
Former MI5 agent Annie Machon
told RT: "This is an egregious violation of so many rights under international law."
The response from so-called
journalists has been fairly-toextremely disgusting. They're practically gleeful. Perhaps they're just resentful and jealous: Assange, after all, is more of a journalist than all of them combined.
Assange has pled
not guilty to failing to surrender to bail, on charges which were subsequently
dropped in Sweden. (And he's facing extradition to the States for involvement in a 'crime' for which his alleged co-conspirator Chelsea Manning was
pardoned.) The UK court found him
guilty. Sentencing will be on May 2. Swedish prosecutors are considering
re-opening the original rape allegation case. A shower of quislings, the whole lot of them.
The UK Foreign Office says it is "
grateful" to Moreno for his actions, which came after "extensive dialogue" between the UK and Ecuador. Alan Duncan, minister of state for Europe and the Americas, said: "I look forward to a strong bilateral relationship between the UK and Ecuador in the years ahead... it is absolutely right that Assange will face justice in the proper way in the UK." Justice for what? Telling the truth? Prime Minister May also '
welcomed' the news, saying "no one is above the law". Ecuador, incidentally, got a $4.2 billion credit overdraft extension
from the US-controlled IMF exactly one month ago.
Here's May announcing the arrest in Westminster parliament, to the cheers of delight from Our Dear Leaders of the UK:
No wonder most of the British electorate has had it with the Dictatorship of the Parliamentariat.
The ACLU's Ben Wizner
warns that any prosecution against Assange for WikiLeaks in the U.S. "would be unprecedented and unconstitutional, and would open the door to criminal investigations of other news organizations. Prosecuting a foreign publisher for violating US secrecy laws would set an especially dangerous precedent for US journalists, who routinely violate foreign secrecy laws to deliver information vital to the public interest." Glenn Greenwald asks what will prevent other countries from doing the same to US journalists?
A UN human rights expert plans on
meeting with Assange:
Joe Cannataci, a UN special rapporteur on the right to privacy, was scheduled to meet Assange on April 25, along with special rapporteur on torture, Prof Nils Melzer, to investigate the treatment of the whistleblower.
In a statement sent to RT.com in the aftermath of Assange's arrest, Cannataci said that the arrest of the 47-year-old will not stop his efforts to assess Assange's claims that his privacy has been violated.
"All it means is that, instead of visiting Mr Assange and speaking to him at the Embassy of the Republic of Ecuador in London, I intend to visit him and speak to him wherever he may be detained," he said. [...]
"Wherever he may be held, or may be located, my mandate will follow," Cannataci said. "The work of the mandate of the United Nations special rapporteur on the right to privacy in the case of Mr Assange will continue uninterrupted until we shall be in a position to report on our findings, whatever they may be."
President Trump, who owes Wikileaks, big time, has apparently
told reporters today that: "
I know nothing about WikiLeaks. It's not my thing." That probably means he's distancing himself from the arrest because he doesn't want any heat from it, but it could also mean that he's saying he had nothing to do with pushing for Assange's arrest, which means it came from the One Worlders upstairs...
The judge they stitched up for Assange's case has clearly been well-chosen: District Judge Michael Snow
branded the WikiLeaks founder a
"narcissist who cannot get beyond his own selfish interest," and described his behavior as "
shameful."
By the way, the thing Assange was carrying when he was dragged out was Gore Vidal's
The History of the National Security State:
"The people have no voice because they have no information," Vidal warned in the book.
