Drama queen Assange hides in Ecuadorian embassy

[Vox Ducis]

Julian Assange has dramatically sought political asylum at the Ecuadorean embassy in London, days after the supreme court rejected the last of his appeals against extradition to Sweden to face sex crime accusations and after what he called a "declaration of abandonment" by his own government in Australia.

In a move that appears to have surprised even some of his closest supporters, the WikiLeaks founder walked into the country's embassy in Knightsbridge and asked for asylum, citing the UN declaration of human rights.

"I can confirm I arrived at the Ecuadorean embassy and sought diplomatic sanctuary and political asylum," Assange said in a statement.

"This application has been passed to the ministry of foreign affairs in the capital Quito. I am grateful to the Ecuadorean ambassador and the government of Ecuador for considering my application."

The audacious bid came less than a week after the supreme court finally rejected his appeal against extradition to Sweden, where he is wanted for questioning in connection with accusations of the rape of one woman and sexual assault on another in August 2010, which he denies.

Assange and his supporters have argued that his removal to Sweden could be followed by a possible onward extradition to the US on potential espionage charges, saying he is at risk of the death penalty.

This attention whore is getting on my nerves...

I wonder if the idiots who paid the £240,000 bail will lose their money.

Attention whore why exactly? I'm pretty sure he didn't ask to be accused of rape in another country, conveniently after wikileaks released information.

He's doing the smartest thing he can do in this situation. When you're dealing with murderous criminals and international terrorists of the highest order, such as governments and judicial bodies, there comes a time when you have to take whatever legal options are available to you as a last resort. No doubt the blue-collar thugs in the United States (read; legalized Mafia) will be able to pay off the embassy in cash to reject Assange's application on bogus grounds. He would do well to escape now and never be seen or heard from again.

They'd probably rather lock him in a metal box for the rest of his natural life. Seeing as the damage is already done and all.

I'm surprised they didn't kill that soldier that leaked a lot of stuff too, Manning. They've killed people for less, hell, Allende and Mossadeq didn't do shit to hurt the US and the CIA still deposed them.

And make him a martyr? Rolf believes that not even the US intelligence community is that stupid.

Yes, they will, Rolf demands it.

Interesting interpretation of the word rape also; Rolf wonders how unprotected sex can be considered rape. But maybe it is because Sweden is a nation of feminized neutral pussies and delirious feminazi scum, it is a shame as Swedes were once vikings and catholic-slaying badasses, laments Rolf.

Manning should be charged with treason, unlike the wikileaks guy Manning is US citizen and also member of US military, execute him, demands Rolf.

eh I agree 100% that it's his best move. I mean, if he gets granted, he's safe, for now, anything is better than a Swedish prison (as that automatically means he'll eventually be in an American prison, then death row, then getting shot full of phenobarbital in probably two decades from now.)

I agree. Kill the traitor. Also, Assange is a bitch. It is only a matter of time before he is ousted from Wikileaks for being a huge faggot--I truly believe he is gay despite him being a rapist (read: bi-sexual=faggot in denial). Nobody at Wikileaks likes him anymore and he isnt helping their cause anymore. He is a financial and legal liability to the organization

I would bet money that Julian "the rapist" Assange will die in a US jail cell....although I would love a CIA-style execution

[Snoopy]

You guys are hilarious. A few years ago you were all riding wikileaks' dick like a pair of balls. Fast forward to 2012 and the demonization campaign against wikileaks and you're all herpin derpin on Assange like it's the hip thing to do.

What Assange is in real life is irrelevant, because he is the face of wikileaks. Attacking him is attacking wikileaks even if he doesn't have anything to do with them anymore. You hypocritical idiots are too retarded to see this. Remember a few years ago how wikileaks was constantly in the media? And then all of the sudden they switched that focus from the organization itself to its known leaders. Assange was likely the easiest one to demonize due to him being an unlikable douchebag in real life.

And boy how good the demonization worked. You're all eating it up like a bag of skittles. What a fucking dumbass community of retards this is.

[reject]

Swedish prisons are lush, he'd have a better time there than hiding out in an embassy.

[Still The Best 1973]

This whole situation is funny to me. Usually the feds would throw him in a dungeon and use their influence to make everyone think they caught a terrorist.

But this guy has a shitload of support and is making them look like assholes. I'm really excited to see what is going to happen next.

[Vox Ducis]

Assange is an FSB puppet. He's playing the guy who wants to inform the world about what governments are hiding, but at the same time, he's got his own talk show on the pro-Kremlin channel Russia Today.

He was supposed to dedicate himself to the defense of truth and free speech ; and now, he's the new friend of dictators like Putin, Correa and Chavez. It's clear he just wants to lure people into thinking the US and the West are the bad guys. This bastard is fooling the whole world.

I think America's fooling the world more with the whole "freedom and democracy" thing.

The FSB (aka KGB) and Putin are fucking cool.

Do they supply you with Raid?

[G-man]

Yes, quite dramatic. Being afraid of many government officials explicitly naming you as a criminal, traitor, rapist, etc.

It's funny how... most of you bitch about government brutality, dishonesty, and evidence fabrication, as if a small-town copper has anything to gain by hiding a roach up your asshole.


But when a guy who was involved in political fucking scandals involving classified material gets crucified from a million different angles, he's a drama queen.

I guess that's just how they keep people in line nowadays; keep bombarding you with pieces about Asange's last meal and soon enough, you'll get bored and switch the channel to something with tits and food and footballs. Maybe you'll be so disheartened you'll make a thread about how much you're sick of hearing about this Asange guy.


In a medium in which a News Piece takes a minute and an "In-Depth" Piece takes two minutes, the Simple will drive out the Complex, as a great journalist once said.


On the other hand... fucking Ecuador?

RT airs all sorts of conspiracy theory, "alternative views" and other bullshit... mostly for external consumption in the USA, notes Rolf. Considering how Assange is a posterboy for people actually leaking evils committed by the US, Rolf finds that it is no-brainer that he is given a talk show on RT.

Everybody is a bad guy; but Rolf finds little need for leaks regarding the evils of Iran/Russia/China/Anybody not US buttmonkey as western media seems to have a monopoly on that field of propaganda.

GRU might disagree, but Rolf points out that this is how rivalries are. Putin is just politician with a better public image than most, adds Rolf.

Rolf notes that this would be only until Sweden, being the US buttmonkey that it is, extradites him to the US.

Nobody outside of USA believes that bullshit for one second, unless they're retarded or something, notes Rolf.

Rolf notes that he has broken no laws, but it would not be the first or last time that the USA has broken the law in order to achieve it's own ends.

Very strange, especially if Ecuador has extradition treaties with the US, which Rolf believes it probably does.

Perhaps but they'll just hand him over to America, after-all it was Sweden that allowed fucking Hollywood to push them and their laws around with that whole bullshit Pirate Bay raid.

That's true.

The US could just get him sent straight from the UK though, we've already got a couple of British citizens on extradition charges to America due to piracy and copyright infringement and shit. Both been accepted and both on appeal, it's fucking horrible. One's a student who ran uhhh tvshack? and the other is some autistic man who hacked NASA's computers looking for evidence of UFOs.

I hate this country and how we will so willingly send our citizens to another country where they've never committed a crime to be sent to prison for 30+ years.
