Assange has exposed the fraud and fantasy of a free and just Western style of government. I knew the system was broken, but I never thought Europe and countries like Australia were part of a true criminal network. The function we are witnessing is no different than a criminal mob.

Two words: Gary McKinnon
The extradition treaty between the USA and the UK is unfair and one-sided in favor of the Americans, who more often than not, need only ask to have a British citizen hauled off to face an American court. Whereas the UK has to outright prove guilt before they can put an American on trial.
If the USA really wanted Assange, they could just ask the British government to hand him over, no need for Sweden to be dragged in. The UK wont refuse, because this is the same UK that sends hundreds of it's own troops to die in American wars.


All I'm seeing in this story is a simple man running away from an unproven fiction, the American boogeyman has not yet been proven as real. Since this all started, it has never been able to go beyond scare stories and what-if. What kind of a man is Assange compared to that American soldier who actually acquired the leaks in the first place?
Though I can't recall his name, that one soldier is the hero of this tale, him standing up alone in front of the full rage of America for doing what he believed in. While Assange here takes all the glory for what another person did, and is now running away like a true coward now that his castle in the sky is on the verge of falling down.

I was very interested in how they would legally transport him to the Airport and down to Ecuador. I read somewhere he would need diplomatic immunity. It doesn't seem too difficult to appoint him as Assistant Ambassador or Minister of the Press or something. Perhaps even temporarily. If that's what they are going to do they need to move fast before the UK passes some prohibitory measure for Julian specifically, which i can see them doing.

Many thanks to RT for giving Julian Assange a "bully pulpit" these last weeks and for reporting honestly on this affair from the beginning.  RT has become a reliable source of alternate opinion in the corporate press dominated United States.  Again, thanks.    

You will notice that ALL the ""whistle blowers"" speak the TRUTH and in doing so the US want him imprisoned Because of that.It is a BAD day in this World when you are stopped from doing it .Most religious bodies round the World  who worship GOD =ALLAH=BUDDHA=YAHWEH =ETC= say that the "Prince of LIARS is the DEVIL=.So  logically the US is run by the DEVIL because it NEVER stops LYING >And tries to make every country round the World believe and ACCEPT  them ."It beggars belief" that INTELLIGENT people in the EU etc who run countries accept this> They MUST know that they are LIES..So they must be HYPOCRITES.You cannot come ANY other conclusion if you are an honest person 

From what I hear, if he is granted asylum, this does give him safe passage
from the embassy to Eucador.  I get the feeling the UK would rather have
the bail money, than get nothing and send him to the USA. But that's Britain
for you, a corrupt country that's totally broke and will do anything for money.

There is no doubt the way Julian´s case unfolded according to the Political Covenant and the Refuge Convention 1957 he is the perfect candidate for seeking political asylum, where reads; if a person persecuted on political grounds by the authorities seeks refuge in another state and then being persecuted there too can also qualify for the UN Protection Program to be removed in a third country thus his/her life under serious threat. The Universal Declaration on human Rights guarantees this right. In his case he is being clearly persecuted by four states, Australia, Sweden, UK and USA, whereas USA makes statements for “death penalty” and Sarah Palin calls for his “assassination.” The Ecuadorian authorities are following strictly the law. In the case of the Americans and the British they would’ve conduct illegal abducting operation, as for example the case with the Russian accused Victor Bout, and take him out of the country. They are known with many politically motivated cases like those, apart form the Guantanamo illegal detentions of the so-called “terrorists” and having such torturing centres all around the world, and such was the case with the illegal detention of Karadzic. In fact they boast of some “Rule of Law” lecture and patronise everyone with but they are the perfect Orwellians who always evade the Rule of Law. We will see how the Ecuadorian President will respond today, and what is more important how they will take Assange out of the UK.

Here's something to think about. Suppose Ecuador does say sí, but Assange still can't physically leave the embassy. That puts him in a legal limbo that could drag on for months, right through the Olympics and causing massive embarrassment to the British misgovernment, especially at a time when THEY are boycotting Euro 2012 matches in Ukraine.

I'm just speculating, of course. I'm like everyone else, I really have no idea how this is going to play out but while it does, it means the worlds eyes are on Assange. The question is - how to transfer people's attention away from Assange and onto where it really should be, and that's the contentious cables?

I hope Julian is granted asylum. In the meantime, perhaps he can be given an office in the embassy so that he continues to work. Good luck Julian.

Every world leader who bows to the illegal terrorist whims of the US are cowards.
