In the old days someone would have just quietly dealt with Assange.

The once proud British government, now reduced to Washington’s servile whore,

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

I posted this because I think the whole thing has been a set-up to begin with; I think Assange, either wittingly or unwittingly, is controlled opposition. He never released anything particularly significant, and I have seen evidence that he was groomed (perhaps unbeknownst to himself) by the CIA for this role.

If we see Assange releasing incriminating evidence about major political or religious figures that really IS significant (for example, their involvement in pedophilia and child rape, which goes on not only in the Catholic church, but among many top politicians), I’ll start to take Assange seriously. This is (poorly done) comic farce at present.

Sweden is a civilized,modern,Western nation.A sovereign nation.When one enters a foreign country he/she must understand that *all* that nation's laws...even the “unreasonable” ones...will apply to you.If Julia didn't want to be investigated for a sexual crime by Swedish authorities then he shouldn't have set foot in the country.I,for example,have never set foot in Mexico and never will.One of the reasons is that I know that their entire law enforcement apparatus,from the Attorney General,to the Supreme Court down to the lowliest Pedro on the street who sports a badge is breathtakingly corrupt.Therefore,it's unlikely that I'll ever be investigated for...anything,really...by Mexico.

Julia should have followed my lead when considering a trip to Sweden.

The once sensible Paul Craig Roberts, now reduced to a raving senile moonbat ...

Paul Craig Roberts really went crazy many years ago. He was a good read at one time, but he lost his marbles a long time ago.

Here’s the Ecuador connection:

Correa has expelled three of our ambassadors since he took office in 2007.

We became aware of massive corruption by Correa and his henchmen. Many secured emails were sent by our embassy back to DC with details and those emails named our sources within the Ecuadoran government.

Assange and Wikileaks obtained about 1,500 of our secret emails on the subject of corruption but only released one that got our ambassador Heather Hodges expelled in 2010.

Now Assange gets arrested and ordered deported to Sweden. Assange has offered the rest of the emails to Ecuador in return for citizenship.

As soon as Assange is an Ecuadoran citizen, Ecuador plans to make Assange a diplomat and he would then be free to travel to Ecuador under diplomatic immunity.

If Ecuador get those emails, there will be a purge of Ecuadoran officials that informed on Correa or are working for us as agents. They will likely be executed or murdered.

This is a deadly business Assange is playing in.

Paul Craig Roberts is a lunatic. He is supporting a communist government aiding an anarchist because Roberts hates American foreign policy.
