Will Julian Assange Be Rendered To The US ???

As you may know, my very first blog post was this:

In America, the wages of truth is death.

Here is what may be the next application of that principle:

Julian Assange is in immense danger. Remarks made this week by Ecuador’s foreign minister suggest that her government may be preparing to renege on the political asylum it granted to the WikiLeaks editor in 2012 and hand him over to British and then American authorities.

On March 28, under immense pressure from the governments in the US, Britain and other powers, Ecuador imposed a complete ban on Assange having any Internet or phone contact with the outside world, and blocked his friends and supporters from physically visiting him. For 45 days, he has not been heard from.

Ecuadorian Foreign Minister Maria Fernanda Espinosa stated in a Spanish-language interview on Wednesday that her government and Britain “have the intention and the interest that this be resolved.” Moves were underway, she said, to reach a “definite agreement” on Assange.

With the exception of people like Assange, Snowden, and Manning, it seems that everyone can be bought. And it looks like Ecuador is about to receive their 30 pieces of silver.

I hope they choke on it.

  1. (With tongue in cheek) I'm certain Gina Haspel will not torture Assange. But I'm also certain someone will be found who is willing to make the remainder of his life a living hell.

  2. Was Ecuador spying FOR Assange, or AGAINST him?

    And did they really pay for this operation, or did the US?

  3. The fix is in - Assange will soon be in a bag on a one-way trip to the Salt Mine:

    By the way, Wikileaks could pay for this security, so why not continue it and bill them? In my view, Ecuador WANTS to get rid of Assange.
