Met Police Arrests Julian Assange
An hour ago the Metropolitan Police arrested Julian Assange, the publisher and editor of Wikileaks, in the Embassy of Ecuador in London. RT has video of the arrest from outside the embassy.
A police statement said:
Julian Assange, 47, (03.07.71) has today, Thursday 11 April, been arrested by officers from the Met Police (MPS) at the Embassy of Ecuador, Hans Crescent, SW1 on a warrant issued by Westminster Magistrates' Court on 29 June 2012, for failing to surrender to the court.
The MPS had a duty to execute the warrant, on behalf of Westminster Magistrates' Court, and was invited into the embassy by the Ambassador, following the Ecuadorian government's withdrawal of asylum.
He has been taken into custody at a central London police station where he will remain, before being presented before Westminster Magistrates' Court as soon as is possible.
This was inevitable.
Ecuador has a new government that asked to receive a loan from the International Monetary Fund. The U.S. conditioned its agreement to the loan on the lifting of the asylum for Assange which the previous Ecuadorian government had granted to him.
After some legal hustle in the Britain, which will take time, Assange will likely be extradited to the United States where the Justice Department holds at least one warrant against him.
Wikileaks was the media outlet for several embarrassing leaks of secret U.S. government papers. It is unclear for which of these publications the Justice Department will indict him.
But the case against Assange is not about justice. His publication of state secrets was obviously an act of journalism and free speech. But the deep state was embarrassed and demands revenge.
The best Assange can hope for, after the judicial process ran its course, is a pardon by the president of the United States.

The only people defending Trump at this stage are imbeciles and Russians…living on STOLEN PROPERTY in the WEST BANK…
————————
What are these Russians?! In 99.99% of cases, these are people who consider Israel their historical homeland and have second passports of this state. These persons are Russians by a place of birth only.

Ha-ha! I know! I was just injecting some irony and sarcasm there. Thanks to SlapHappy for interpreting it exactly right–cheeky! Zionists are loyal to Zionism above all else. But, in fact, the WB squatters are Russian by birth, yes, and they will continue to support Trump no matter what he does to others because he will help them pull off the Century heist of the West Bank and deny Palestinians sovereignty forever. So the other imbeciles who still support him high on the kool aid are in good company.👎😝

Upsidedown 🙃 is right on! Enjoyed reading your perspective there.
William Gruff, Mayor Petey is a Zioestablishment plant alright, AND SO WAS TRUMP, with his faux populist I love the middle class bullshet and Hillary was the foil! If you don’t see that yet….?! Try bifocals.
Finally, I’m so tired of the sheepdog label some are using. I’m an idealist too; and I consider myself a purist, but when it comes to individuals like Gabbard, Corbyn and even Sanders, I turn into a realist. Yesterday, people were clamoring pitchforks in hand for Corbyn to immediately denounce Assange’s arrest, already calling him a traitor to the cause.
Lemme tell you something, Tulsi was interviewed by gatekeeper Jake Tapper yesterday. She stood her ground very well, defending what Assange did as journalism and so on, but Tapper, being the conniving little zioprck he is, wanted to corner her, so depending on her answer, she as a candidate, would lose credibility with one side or the other of the liberal spectrum. It was a lose-lose question and one of those dirty trick gotcha! traps. Seeing as she was standing for journalistic freedom, he couldn’t really take her down on that. So what did he do? He used the fact that she’s a military veteran to test her LOYALTY and in that context asked whether she believed that cracking a DoD system code and hacking the government was right and shouldn’t be punished? I can’t quote her exact words, because I tried researching it but never got the entire interview, but she had to admit that if Assange did that then he should face justice or judicial consequences or something to that effect. Anyway, was I disappointed? Sure, but how do you get around a question like that? The government deserves to be hacked and the end justifies the means??? She couldn’t say that IT’S POLITICAL SUICIDE. So Gabbard and Corbyn have something in common, they are under scrutiny and assault by the Zionist establishment, and I gotta tell you, I was really pissed that Tulsi accepted the Champion of Freedom Award from Rabbi Boteach and Myriam Adelson and has done and said other questionable things. I could post a link proving she’s less than pure, but I decided not to. It’s counterproductive. In the same manner, Corbyn was reluctantly forced to purge a member of his party for so-called antisemitic remarks because the political, media onslaught against him was relentless. Here’s the thing, Gabbard is not everything I want, and will probably not win the nomination, but 8 times out of 10 I like was she says and I want to see her on that National stage at the debates shaming everyone else and putting their feet to the fire, because that’s the only way that anti-establishment ideas and rhetoric will linger in the national discourse and become more prevalent and accepted paving the way for a purer candidate to become viable. It’s the only way that other fledgling anti-establishment hopefuls will come out of the shadows and fight for what is right and have a path to leadership. Of course, that won’t stop me from holding her feet to the fire when she digresses on her anti-establisment integrity.
Regarding Corbyn and Sanders they have way more of a chance to make it than Gabbard, and we should stand behind them no matter what…F..ck Purity! They’re not Obama! Maybe they’re Obama extra light, so what, as long as they pave the way for someone even better. They’re not war-mongers. Corbyn’s not a Zionist and he’s not a warmonger. Sanders breaks with the Zionist agenda (although he could do better). Most importantly, they are all there is right now that’s VIABLE. So stop undermining their chances when they’re being massively assailed by the Establishment in every direction. They’re being assailed this way precisely because they represent a viable threat! They are the imperfect dissident Khashoggi to the tyrant MbS. As imperfect as Khashoggi was, he was viewed by MbS as a dangerous seed and threat to his rule, and Corbyn and Sanders are the same kind of threat; Corbyn being the better of the two since he has no scintilla of Zionism in him. I know it when I see it, and he’ll prove it when he becomes leader. It’s actually a good thing that the Zionists and blairites in his party left to start their own shet party. That was a great purge that will free him of treachery later when loyalty matters most.
Realistically, they are the only VIABLE option out there. Jackrabbit, don’t come at me with the pirate party alternative when there’s not a snowball’s chance in hell it will lead somewhere. Even Greens have more chance of being heard. And don’t start with the Sheepdog crap either.
Bernie’s in it to win it, not for anyone else, and the DNC should be microscopiied all the way to the election and Wasserman given a one way ticket to Israel!
Assange, bless him, put the Democratic Party under the magnifying glass and for this I will be eternally grateful. Because of what he did, the door opened for people like Omar, Tlaib and AOC to enter and speak more freely. That door must remain open for more anti-E mavericks to walk in and push for change. Sanders is the only candidate that can guarantee that outcome. I don’t trust the others, ESPECIALLY, Butt i gieg, and his sudden rise as an unknown elitist proves my point!
Sorry to arby for this but I must heed my gut. Assange, like Sanders and Corbyn is also an imperfect vehicle. Personally, I trust Manning’s integrity much more, but Assange did expose a lot of DIRT. However, now that Trump has thrown him under the bus and set his AG pitbull on him I only wish and pray Assange has THE DIRT on Trump. I say this because the dirt that will really sink Trump is very palpable if not yet visible! If Assange has it, I hope he uses it to sink the bastard and uses something else to save his neck. Then I will trust him 100%! I know it’s a lot to ask, but that’s why I prefer Manning as a vehicle for TRUTH, because Manning is sitting in PRISON rather than betraying the truth, what is morally right and Assange to save his own neck. Sorry, but in this case I have to be the purist! I have a sixth sense concern, and I’d rather be wrong.
We’ll see how it plays out, but again I am eternally grateful to Assange for exposing U.S. war crimes and the Democratic Party for what they really are–a Zionist rat pac!
There is hope however so let’s NOT please throw out the baby with the bathwater and nitpick at the only choices out there that are very, I stress very hopeful, albeit imperfect.
AYE…I still luv this site…it’s a fix!
