Julian Assange's Groundhog day in "Ecuador" London!

[Eastoff]

How long will wikileaks founder be able to find in the Ecuador consulate? Apparently the UK has hinted they will violate international treaties to go in and arrest him. Or arrest him while he tries to get into a consulate car or onto a plane. Some suggest the UK will just shut down the consulate and then the building will no longer fall under treaty laws.

Help me out as I haven't really paid much attention to all this. Has he been convicted of any crime?

He has charges brought against him in sweden he is suppose to stand trial for. He fears sweden will then send him to the US at which time he'll probably be convicted of espionage and may face the death penalty. A lot of "what if"s but rather big and dangerous ones. That said, he is going to hide in "ecuador" as long as he can.

 

[BLAZER PROPHET]

I can't imagine him being sentenced to death for what I hear he has done.

He won't be--I mean, afaik he isn't a US citizen so he's done nothing that a ton of Chinese, Russian (and many others) haven't done and just been expelled from the country. Manning, however, should...and it's a traveshamockery that he isn't an electrocuted pile of goo right now.

That torturer's sentiment tells you the treatment he will receive after being extradited to the U.S., as a non-American without legal rights.

He's a hero who represents the 98% of humanity who have strongly opposed the evil Iraq War from its start.

As I showed with a couple of links here a year ago, the two women are CIA, and the events were not rape as defined anywhere but the country in which they conveniently occurred.

No charges.

He is being demanded to appear in a county he was briefly visiting for questioning.

Search for a time in the past where a country has gone to so much trouble to demand the extradition of a person for "questioning" for the equivalent of the crime of failing to properly use a condom.

Search for a time when that case was dismissed by the regular prosecutor, and then later reopened by a higher up.

Search for a time when the UK has gone to so much trouble to hunt down, arrest and extradite a suspect wanted for questioning in a similarly low grade crime accusation with such questionable circumstances.

They have dozens of officers surrounding the embassy!

This entire situation is out of control government (supposedly democratic free countries) at it ugliest. It goes to show, if you piss powerful government people off, they will look real hard to find a way to get you.

afaik he isn't a US citizen

He is an Australian citizen; born and raised.

He has been completely abandoned by the Australian Government, and both sides of Australian politics.

...free Assange!

Michael Moore and Oliver Stone Op-Ed from the New York Times:

If Mr. Assange is extradited to the United States, the consequences will reverberate for years around the world. Mr. Assange is not an American citizen, and none of his actions have taken place on American soil. If the United States can prosecute a journalist in these circumstances, the governments of Russia or China could, by the same logic, demand that foreign reporters anywhere on earth be extradited for violating their laws. The setting of such a precedent should deeply concern everyone, admirers of WikiLeaks or not.

A personal vendetta of the 1% carried out by their government lackeys against a journalist for the "crime" of exposing corruption and treason.

they need to make an example out of him, so others dont start reporting the news as well

How do you feel about the SEAL who has now cashed in on the Bin Laden raid by writing a book not cleared by the government?

...or the glorified Hollywood movie that is already being previewed on the big screens -- "Zero Dark Thirty" -- pretty incredible for a staged event, they are literally re-writing history with their propaganda and the masses will all buy into it hook, line, and sinker!

A) He's specifically prohibited from "cashing in" even one dollar by his NDA.
B) There's a significant difference between writing a book about one operation and dumping 500k documents about many operations, negotiations, etc.
C) If there's a shred of classified information, my personal belief is that he should go to prison and the publisher should be heavily fined and sanctioned. What did you expect me to say?

What is your take on it?

BTW, I'm a bit biased b/c this clown can significantly fuck up the situation I'm walking into in a couple of months.

What do you mean? "Staged" because it was planned for months? D-Day was planned for years, and there are plenty of movies about that.

...staged in the sense that Bin Laden died many years prior to this planned "event". The CIA et al has been exploiting this evil boogeyman Osama for decades now. Remind me, which family was it again that was personally escorted out of this country when every plane was supposed to be grounded after the planned 9/11 "event"?

Without going into classified territory, let's just say I disagree fundamentally with you on this one.
