Anonymous supporters of Julian Assange outside the Embassy of Ecuador in Knightsbridge, central London, as the row between the UK and Ecuador grows. [4]
Can you imagine if this kind of scenario was happening elsewhere in the world and what kind of outcry would follow?
What if one of us, was say in China, Iran, Syria or anywhere else in fact, and that we genuinely believed our liberty and life was at stake by that countries regime, so we then decided to go to the British or USA Embassy’s to be given help and granted asylum, - though instead of that country respecting the international agreements set in place, in regards to an embassy’s status, - albeit, it’s as if it’s the country itself, - the host country then decides to then flaunt these agreements and raid the British or USA embassy in order to get to a man on a trumped up sex charge. It’s not as if Assange is some kind of international drug or arms dealer, nor is he an armed robber or terrorist.
This is like declaring war on Ecuador, and why William Hague must resign, he has made such a massive diplomatic blunder, that there is no other way this can be resolved. Ecuador has considered Assange’s case, and rightly so granted him asylum. This decision, right or wrong, must be respected, as does the due process of international law.
Ecuador's Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino announces that Ecuador would grant asylum to WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange. [4]
Police officers move the protesters in support of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange from the front of the Ecuadorian Embassy. [4]
But will this happen? I don’t think so. Assange has a lot of global support, as well as many supporters in the UK. The British [and US] government know it’s going to be a controversial judgement and action to take by raiding the Ecuadorian embassy, - so could we well see a "reason" for the police or SAS to do so, by perhaps some kind of ‘False Flag’ situation to arise?
Demonstrators trample on a British flag during a protest outside the United Kingdom's embassy in Quito, Ecuador as the row escalates.[4]
Demonstrators hold a sign reading 'British and gringos are the same thing' as they shout slogans outside the British Embassy in Quito yesterday as they protest against the UK's threat. [4]
Protesters are gathering outside the Ecuadorian embassy, outrage is filtering through South America. Everyone is aware the problems the UK are having with Argentina and its sovereignty rights of the Falkland Islands. So this is like a smack in the mouth to them, as it sends out a wider message in general.
I fear some kind of Black-Ops ‘lone-wolf’ patsy, will appear from the protesting crowds in London, and perhaps shoot someone, or worst, and very much like the same way how WPC Yvonne Fletcher was shot and killed on the 17th April 1984. Her death resulted in the Metropolitan Police Service laying siege to the Libyan embassy for the next eleven days, and the United Kingdom severing all diplomatic relations with Libya.
Two years later it became a major factor in Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s decision to allow US President Ronald Regan to launch the US bombing of Libya in 1986 from American bases in the United Kingdom.
Yvonne Fletcher [5]
Yvonne Fletcher (15 June 1958 – 17 April 1984) was a British police officer fatally shot during a protest outside the Libyan embassy in London, in 1984. Fletcher, who had been on duty and deployed to police the protest, died shortly afterwards at Westminster Hospital.
The demonstration had been organised by the Libyan National Salvation Front (LNSF) following the execution of two students who had criticised Gaddafi. Since February 1984, the Libyan embassy, which was also known as the Libyan People’s Bureau, had been staffed by "revolutionary committees" made up of students loyal to Gaddafi who had assumed control of the embassy with the tacit approval of the Libyan government. They were not professional diplomats.[1][2] Gaddafi loyalists at the embassy warned police that they intended to mount a counter-demonstration.
On the day, about 75 protesters arrived by coach from northern England. The demonstration began peacefully as police successfully kept the two sides apart with crowd control barriers. Both groups shouted at each other and waved banners and placards. Loud music was played from the embassy in an apparent attempt to drown out the noise of the protesters.[3] Without warning, automatic gunfire was discharged into the anti-Gaddafi protesters at 10:18 am. Eleven people were hit, including the unarmed Fletcher who was fatally wounded in the stomach.
Not forgetting what happened at the Iranian Embassy siege took place from 30 April to 5 May 1980, after a group of six armed men stormed the Iranian embassy in South Kensington, London. The gunmen took 26 people hostage—mostly embassy staff, but several visitors and a police officer, who had been guarding the embassy, were also held. By the sixth day of the siege the gunmen had become increasingly frustrated at the lack of progress in meeting their demands. That evening, they killed one of the hostages and threw his body out of the embassy.
As a result, the British government ordered the Special Air Service (SAS), a special forces regiment of the British Army, to conduct an assault to rescue the remaining hostages. Shortly afterwards, soldiers abseiled from the roof of the building and forced entry through the windows. During the 17-minute raid, the SAS rescued all but one of the remaining hostages, and killed five of the six terrorists
We must lookout for Assange and his kind, and be by their side, if and when they need our help and protection, - because after all, - who really is Julian Assange?
Well the answer is obvious, - he is you, me, and every single one of us;...I‘m Julian Assange!- and we should never forget that.
William Hague
We urge people from around the world to contact 10 Downing Street demanding the resignation of William Jefferson Hague, FRSL, MP (born 26 March 1961) is a British politician, who is the current Foreign Secretary and First Secretary of State.

Standing on a first-floor balcony of the Ecuador embassy in London, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said the United States must “renounce its witchhunt against WikiLeaks.”
“The United States must dissolve its FBI investigation, the United States must vow that it will not seek to prosecute our staff or our supporters. The United States must pledge before the world that it will not pursue journalists for shining a light upon the secret crimes of the powerful.”
Assange said the U.S. was facing a momentous choice: “Will it return to and reaffirm the revolutionary values it was founded on, or will it lurch across the precipice, dragging us all into a dangerous and oppressive world in which journalists fall silent under the fear of prosecution and citizens must whisper in the dark?” [6]

It's like a ticking bomb...everyone's waiting to go off!! I've got my reservations and even suspicions about Assange, - but as I say, at the end of the day if he is behind helping expose the truth, for after all let’s not forget, but those who have been exposed are certainly not! Okay so Assange is a prick if he doesn’t think 9/11 was an inside job, though deep down I don’t think he really does think that way. He might have a dodgy agenda, but then again, as long as I’m picking up on leaked embarrassing stories that the main stream media would never print, then again I’m happy. I’d rather live in a world with wikileaks, than a world without it, or at least something as equally bold and revealing...
Thursday 5 July 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing the Syria Files – more than two million emails from Syrian political figures, ministries and associated companies, dating from August 2006 to March 2012. This extraordinary data set derives from 680 Syria-related entities or domain names, including those of the Ministries of Presidential Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Finance, Information, Transport and Culture. At this time Syria is undergoing a violent internal conflict that has killed between 6,000 and 15,000 people in the last 18 months. The Syria Files shine a light on the inner workings of the Syrian government and economy, but they also reveal how the West and Western companies say one thing and do another.
Mass interception of entire populations is not only a reality, it is a secret new industry spanning 25 countries
It sounds like something out of Hollywood, but as of today, mass interception systems, built by Western intelligence contractors, including for ’political opponents’ are a reality.
Today WikiLeaks began releasing a database of hundreds of documents from as many as 160 intelligence contractors in the mass surveillance industry. Working with Bugged Planet and Privacy International, as well as media organizations form six countries – ARD in Germany, The Bureau of Investigative Journalism in the UK, The Hindu in India, L’Espresso in Italy, OWNI in France and the Washington Post in the U.S. Wikileaks is shining a light on this secret industry that has boomed since September 11, 2001 and is worth billions of dollars per year. WikiLeaks has released 287 documents today, but the Spy Files project is ongoing and further information will be released this week and into next year.
You can download torrent archive containing all released files from here.
In thousands of pages of documents dating from 2002 to early 2009 and never seen before by members of the public or the media, the cases of the majority of the prisoners held at Guantanamo — 758 out of 779 in total — are described in detail in memoranda from JTF-GTMO, the Joint Task Force at Guantanamo Bay, to US Southern Coand in Miami, Florida.
These memoranda, which contain JTF-GTMO’s recommendations about whether the prisoners in question should continue to be held, or should be released (transferred to their home governments, or to other governments) contain a wealth of important and previously undisclosed information, including health assessments, for example, and, in the cases of the majority of the 171 prisoners who are still held, photos (mostly for the first time ever).
Here you may also download whole GITMO site from torrent.
On Sunday 28th November 2010, WikiLeaks began publishing 251,287 leaked United States embassy cables, the largest set of confidential documents ever to be released into the public domain. The documents will give people around the world an unprecedented insight into the US Government’s foreign activities.
Bank of America using Private Intel Firms to Attack Wikileaks
2011-02-02
In a document titled "The WikiLeaks Threat" three data intelligence companies, Plantir Technologies, HBGary Federal and Berico Technologies, outline a plan to attack Wikileaks. They are acting upon request from Hunton and Williams, a law firm working for Bank of America. The Department of Justice recommended the law firm to Bank of America according to an article in The Tech Herald. The prosed attacks on WikiLeaks according to the slides include these actions:
Feed the fuel between the feuding groups. Disinformation. Create messages around actions of sabotage or discredit the opposing organizations. Submit fake documents and then call out the error. Create concern over the security of the infrastructure. Create exposure stories. If the process is believed not to be secure they are done. Cyber attacks against the infrastructure to get data on document submitters. This would kill the project. Since the servers are now in Sweden and France putting a team together to get access is more straightforward. Media campaign to push the radial and reckless nature of WikiLeaks activities. Sustain pressure. Does nothing for the fanatics, but creates concern and doubt among moderates. Search for leaks. Use social media to profile and identify risky behavior of employees.
How can that be possible? There were over 100 FB Likes, now is gone to zero???? I was quite surprised how many likes were getting shown, someone obviously can cancel of reset the like counter??!!
Thanks Honeygirl, it's a tough call, - the link about his mother pulling out of an interview can be quite understandable, the man looks like a bulldog and sounds a lot worst:
Assange's mother hangs up on 3AW -Date August 20, 2012
Tarpley makes some good points, though he oddly says "Assange don't pick on the big boys, such as the UK or USA..." Hello, I think you'll find the US government are baiting for his blood, the 'only' reason the USA are pissed with Assange, is due to the leaking of the video footage of those soldiers in the helicopter shooting dead innocent people...over 5yrs had passed and the US Army had told the world; "No film footage exists"!!! Oh well, how embarassing was that then!! - The "Illuminati" cards are great, sinister, for those behind them sure knew of the agenda...love the comparsions!! I'm pro-truth and Free Speech and would do what Bradley Manning did, and even Assange, - though in his case, I would have slipped a condom on ;-)
