Ecuador grants political asylum to WikiLeaks' Julian Assange

[Demigod]

Oooo, very smart! Just drive onto the plane! Good thinking!

They will ground the plane because the plane does not fall under diplomatic immunity also the smart Ecuador government only has the first floor of the building so only the first floor has immunity.So they will have to first come up with a way to get the car to the first floor.

-Such a sad sentence to read.

Such a sad reality to be living in.

The only thing he can do is go with the diplomatic car to France ( trough the tunnel ) where he can be picked up by a car from the Ecuador embassy in France in no-mans land.Then the same with Germany until he can get to a country like Slovakia,Czech republic,Poland who may let him take a plane or somehow manage to get to Russia

He'd never get to that plane, they'd be taken by some mercenaries, extraordinary renditioned and never heard from again.

Why can't they use a helicopter and fly him out into the ocean to be picked up by a ship? Of course, the HMS assholes would probably be on him in .5 seconds.

What I find absolutely hilarious is that it was only recently when the British Embassy in Iran was raided by Iranian citizens and everyone was throwing a shit fit about that. It's wrong when you do that to the diplomatic sovereign soil of Britain! But not if Britain does it to other countries. Ah the hypocrisy of Statism.

Chip in for a cargo plane, anyone?

We could always chip in the Ron Paul Blimp and have it use cables to lift up the diplomatic car and float him to safety!

Is this so he gets extradited on the rape charges or what

It is "or what".
It is an attempt to avoid execution in the US for publishing the truth.

I was just researching Ecuador the other day. Lots of X Pats heading that way; now I know why. Looks like a great place to live, and it's cheap.

-Such a sad sentence to read.

I read that, and I realized, in a split second, far from being a guarantee, it is likely that he would be whisked off to permanent detention or summary execution by military tribunal.

And I actually cried a little...

 

[brushfire]

Eventually, wherever he goes, he'll be paid a visit by dogs and seals...

I've been praying for Assange today.

Assange Or Corzine?

Priorities are a bitch.

The United States won’t prosecute Corzine for raiding segregated customer accounts, but will happily convene a Grand Jury in preparation for prosecuting Julian Assange for exposing the truth about war crimes.
[...]
But the issue at hand is the sense that we have entered a phase of exponential criminality and corruption. A slavering crook like Corzine who stole $200 million of clients’ funds can walk free. Meanwhile, a man who exposed evidence of serious war crimes is for that act so keenly wanted by US authorities that Britain has threatened to throw hundreds of years of diplomatic protocol and treaties into the trash and raid the embassy of another sovereign state to deliver him to a power that seems intent not only to criminalise him, but perhaps even to summarily execute him. The Obama administration, of course, has made a habit of summary extrajudicial executions of those that it suspects of terrorism, and the detention and prosecution of whistleblowers. And the ooze of large-scale financial corruption, rate-rigging, theft and fraud goes on unpunished.

I may not agree with Wikileaks over on Sryia, but i do however support Assange, Wikleaks has been hijacked by the Gov.

He's probably near the top of Obama's personal hit list anyway and would be "taken into custody" the same way OBL was...

[HOLLYWOOD]

Pinochet killed 1000's of innocent civilians in next door Chile. Was there ever an Interpol global warrant on the brutal dictator? Nope!

US butcher Henry Kissinger, backed El dictator Puppet Pinochet with covert weaponry and and American tax dollars to kill Chileans. Henry Kisser is wanted for WAR CRIMES and the death of 1000s across the globe in multiple countries. Did the UN or Interpol ever issue warrants for the arrest of Henry Kissinger? NOPE!

The Hypocrites are the Evil motherfuckers residing in Washington DC and New York City terrorizing and raping the world, then creating a double standard...

PS: Fuck Fascist FOX NEWS...

PSS: Sweden has never issue an arrest for Julian Assange, they want him extradited to "so-call question him" with obviously, they can't do by Skype/IM/or news station cameras. Such BS... you know it's for TPTB to execute him in the US and make an example for all in the world to not fuck with the most ruthless mafioso regime in the world.

Very apt tweet off twitter:

Foreign Office refuses to grant Assange safe passage. You know what's foreign? The feeling that Ecuador is the Free World.
