Ecuador cutting off WikiLeaks founder’s communications
AP ^ | 03/28/2018 | AP

Ecuador’s government is cutting off WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s communications outside the nation’s London embassy.

Officials announced Wednesday they were taking the measure in response to Assange’s recent activity on social media.

As part of an agreement between Assange and the Ecuadorean government, he is not permitted to send any messages that could interfere with the South American nation’s relations with other countries.

Assange has been living in Ecuador’s embassy for more than five years.

Ecuador gave Assange asylum after he sought refuge in the embassy to avoid extradition to Sweden for investigation of sex-related claims. Sweden dropped the case, but Assange remains subject to arrest in Britain for jumping bail.

No, but lots of people are worried about Assange.

Yeah, especially the Delusional Lying Left. Surprised the Clinton Crime Family or the Obama Extortion Racket hasn’t bumped him off by now.

Something is seriously wrong with the UK government, wrong enough that continuing an alliance with them seems like a really bad idea.

Prosecuting whistleblowers, prosecuting people who don’t like Islam, putting a lifetime ban on a peaceful, American mainstream-conservative speaker, letting child-rape gangs run rampant, trying to start a pointless war with Russia, and of course their involvement in the coup attempt here in the US.

A top-to-bottom re-evaluation of the US-UK relationship is in order.

The Brits want to knock him off like they did that Russian spy in Salisbury.

The dirty little secret is that the Brits have cajoled, undermined, and plotted against US interests since the Jefferson era.
The special relationship line was coined when they needed American muscle for their wars.

But the still think they run the world, and that we are a renegade province like Taiwan that should still follow their lead.

The “tell” of the Brit five eyes mentality, is that after Sweden dropped the fake rape charge, the Brits still want to charge him with not showing up in court for an extradition hearing on THAT case.

This whole thing is deep state crap.

As a political prisoner detained without charge for 8 years, in violation of 2 UN rulings, I suppose I must be "miserable"; yet nothing wrong with being a "little" person although I'm rather tall; and better a "worm", a healthy creature that invigorates the soil, than a snake.

All of the Commonwealth nations are now less than trustworthy, with Australia turning into a nation of wankers, New Zealand becoming an aircraft carrier/meeting room for globalists, and Canada going from fussy to foppish. "Five Eyes" alone makes me distrustful of anything they do, let alone their collusion with the DNC/Hillary/deep state.

I was an Anglophile for many, many years, but I eventually came to the conclusion that "Great" Britain is as reliable a friend of the US as France, but a common language gives them leverage when it comes to PR. They are both "pals" when it benefits them.

“The special relationship line was coined when they needed American muscle for their wars”

Yup. And why should we waste American lives on a pathetic, meaningless bunch of has beens who are soon to be ethnically Pakistani?

As you undoubtedly know they prevented three white kids from entering Britain recently, calling them racists. Meanwhile, British writers gingerly pointed out they let in former ISIS fighters at the same time.

We owe them nothing and it’s an insult to every man who fought in the Allied forces for them that they now show contempt for our people and European people in general.

Some deep-pocket Republican should pay Assange’s fine for him and fast-track his entry into the United States. Like it or not, he was a major player in keeping Hillary Clinton from being elected and we should show him leniency.

Plus, it would make the Left blow a gasket if Trump would present him with a Medal of Freedom for his sacrifices in the defense of American democracy.

If their royals and in-laws, relatives, power brokers are in the global DS with $$ and proclivities from evil sources it is pretty self explanatory.

Misdirection and chaos! Who is the author of Chaos?
