Assange expelled and arrested
The rumors last week were correct. Julian Assange has been expelled from the Ecuadorian embassy and arrested by the UK police:
Julian Assange has been arrested by British police today after Ecuador withdrew his political asylum seven years after he was given refuge by the country. The Wikileaks founder was dragged out of the Ecuadorian Embassy in handcuffs by a large group of seven Metropolitan Police officers as stunned supporters and protesters watched on in central London.Obviously Ecuador has the right to expel anyone it wants from its embassy. But why now? And what UK law has Assange violated to justify his arrest?
He is currently in police custody and is set to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court 'as soon as possible'.
Ecuador's president Lenin Moreno said the decision to withdraw Assange's asylum status came after the 'repeated violations to international conventions and daily-life protocols' and his 'discourteous and aggressive behaviour'. Moreno added that he had asked Britain to guarantee that Assange would not be extradited to a country where he could face torture or the death penalty.
Moments after the arrest, during which Assange held on to a Gore Vidal book on the history of the national security state, WikiLeaks said Ecuador had acted illegally and 'in violation of international law'. Assange, 47, has not left Ecuador's diplomatic soil for seven years amid fears he would be arrested and extradited for publishing thousands of classified military and diplomatic cables.

The UK is a brutal police State controlled by the Globalists and completely indifferent to rule of law...Assange will be handed over and tortured by the US.
Failure to appear in court from what I read.
I might be mistaken. But if Brexit happen... (which could really happen tomorrow) maybe Sweden loose the right to expedite him?
I wonder if we'll ever get to see the contents of that "insurance file" that was released years ago.
Q-types I follow on Twitter think this is a GE move to protect Assange, since the warrant may be used to extradite him. We shall see. Can’t trust the UK authorities either way.
Tweet from @spectatorindex, 6:51 am:
BREAKING: Julian Assange's lawyer says his client was arrested on a US extradition request
The UK is just enhancing his user experience in partnership with its partners.
Doesn't this mean that Wikileaks spills their guts? Possibly soon? Did they crack the encryption?
Release everything, Wikileaks!
I know there absolutely could be evil at work. But... Equador could also simply be sick of putting up with his crap. I'm certain the gammas all have great explanations for why they get booted... in reality its simply because they are crappy houseguests.
Not saying that's the 100% truth... but we also cannot rule it out.
I guess they think they've neutralized the dead man's switch that Assange has been assumed to have been holding. If he entrusted a few trusted people with an encryption key linked to a torrent file to be released in the event of his arrest and those people have been rounded up? Who knows, we'll find out shortly.
Prison will probably be nicer than the Ecuador embassy. He'll be able to go outside, at least for limited periods, and get some sun for the first time in 7 years.
Wikileaks tweet:
"Julian Assange will be taken to Westminster Magistrates court this afternoon. He has been arrested under a US extradition warrant for conspiracy with @xychelsea for publishing classified information revealing war crimes in 2010."
@xychelsea is former US army intelligence analyst and tranny Chelsea Manning, who has been in solitary confinement for 25 days for refusing to answer questions of a grand jury investigating WikiLeaks.
I'd like to know why Assange should be arrested for committing journalism while the staffs of CNN, NYT, DailyBeast, WaPo etc shouldn't. At least he didn't knowingly and maliciously leak classified misinformation as part of a treasonous defamation campaign for purposes of enacting a coup against duly-elected sitting President.
This has been coming for some time and since that time is here it might be curiously to Assange's benefit, if he's extradited to the US, given the spotlight currently on the DOJ, its recent history, and Trump's pursuit of the Swamp. The UK foreign minister says he's no hero. He probably says the same about Saint Brevik.
The pitfall of not picking an Approved Team. Who hasn't this guy pissed off? I really feel for Julian Assange. What a harrowing life he's lead.
Unauthorised opinions will get you banned and blackballed.
Classified dirty laundry from all points of the compass will get you jailed.
This is what a free press looks like in 2019.
What will the Nine decide when it gets to there bench?
Ecuador has made some kind of trade deal with the UK.
Otherwise why expel him with UK knowledge. They could have allowed him to at least try to disappear into the London night and have a shot at escape.
But no, they let UK police take him directly from within the embassy. How many pieces of silver were given up for it?
Why IS this guy still so important?

Considering the fact that Trump isn't even denouncing the violence against MAGA hat wearers, I find this highly unlikely.
I hear thunder. A storm perhaps?
@3 Sweden hasn't had an interest in him for years. USA requested extradition.
"The US warrant was issued in December 2017 and is for conspiracy with Chelsea Manning @xychelsea in early 2010."
Not showering is grounds to being kicked out anywhere. Unacceptable behavior. Hopefully he doesnt end up dead because he couldn't follow JBP's advice and wash his penis.
If this is a 4D chess move from Trump to save him, is that a good or bad thing?
Worst case scenario: the globalist scum finally got Assange
Best case scenario: Assange is now in Trump's DOJ hands, just as it starts investigating the attempted coup
For what it's worth, the theory of swamp-draining that's been floating around the chans since early 2017 (pre-Q) always included Assange being brought to the US to testify as to where Wikileaks got the DNC files that Crowdstrike said were hacked by Russia, among other things. This doesn't prove that's what's happening, but the timing fits with Mueller finishing his show and the DoJ starting to follow the chain of criminal Democrats he unearthed.
It looks to me like all we know is he's being brought to the US at an important time. We won't know why for a while. It has to be better than staying with the UK spooks who would love to bury anything that might tie into their involvement in trying to oust a US president.
Repeatedly lying on the sofa with his shoes on, I heard. They could take it no more.
You don't need to break the law in the UK to be arrested anymore. Orwell is quickly becoming someone who had the perceived foresight of Nostradamus.
>>Ecuador's president Lenin Moreno said the decision to withdraw Assange's asylum status came after the 'repeated violations to international conventions and daily-life protocols' and his 'discourteous and aggressive behaviour'.
Can we be real here? They are just running him down to build a little moral cover for booting him out. What, he doesn't get up for breakfast on time? Could be he is a pain in the butt. Could be not. The leadership is not going to care. They don't have to deal with him, not directly.
The reason is the Ambassador wants his office space back.
The timing is interesting: Assange extradited to US just as investigation into Russiagate treason heating up.
Just speculation at this point. Could be TGE's team expect to use him against traitors, could TGE's team want that insurance file released. Have to wait and see.
I guess tovarish Lenin deserves a pat on the head and now may live out his political life in peace.
It may also mean, that wiki has been irrepearably penetrated.
Anyhoo, hiding in a hole is no way for a man to live, so I wish him every human virtue and luck for his upcoming difficulties.
...and of course wish everything on missus May, that is coming to her...
Pray for Assange, he is suffering for the truth and we should all support him.
@Nate
It's definitely not 0% of the truth either...
The extradition treaty we have with the US allows Uncle Sam to point the finger and the the bobbies just say "right you are, Guv."
I don't think they need to accuse you of a crime.
Election year in Europe, so,the flow of information has to be controled.
Knock-on effect from moves and counter moves regarding Venezue?

I, too, found the timing to be very interesting. Could we finally get confirmation that victim-of-a-robbery-gone-wrong Seth Rich was the actual source of the DNC email leaks?
Wasn’t going to post unless he were in US custody, but it’s been mentioned. If I were Trump, which I am not, with the Russia investigation (2nd phase) done, I’d take the AG Barr comment about investigating the investigation, and offer asylum + pardon if he cooperated specifically with that. Trump has more than once spoken disparagingly about Assange, but not going to third and fourth guess. So, second to Salt, assuming he makes it out of the UK and any globalist lackeys there handling him.
By survives, meaning not spirited away in false death by globalists for their use, and not actually killed to prevent Trump and Assange from working together to really hurt them.
It will be interesting to see if the Dead Man's Switch goes off or not.
Best case scenario is that this is indeed a protective move by the Trump DoJ. Mr. Assange hopefully still has a lot of pertinent intelligence in his files regarding the Deep State, and more specifically, who really killed Seth Rich.
@10- To quote a now-deceased warbling Canadian:
Everyone has their breaking point
With me it's spiders
With you it's me
All part of The Plan. It's time for JA to come forth. See https://twitter.com/TrueEyeTheSpy/status/1116310690715852802

Supposedly Trump values loyalty, and is very loyal to his own. MAGA hat wearers aren't his own.
We surely want to support Trump, because he is the enemy of our enemy.
An excellent summary of the situation with Assange... https://twitter.com/drawandstrike/status/1116363049777205250
Steve Bannon calls countries like the UK and Japan and Saudi Arabia and such 'protectorates' of the US. A better word is colony. We actually have US Airforce occupying so called RAF bases. Our military occupies these countries. So obviously the offenses he is being arrested for don't violate the UK's colonial government's law but they do violate laws of the United States and imperial law supercedes colonial law.
Going to jail for skipping bail sounds a lot like being arrested for resisting arrest. What is he actually guilty of?
America is already a banana republic, but the UK just has to one-up us at every turn.
Expelled by orders a natural-born capitalist named Lenin Moreno.
The UK is a brutal police State controlled by the Globalists and completely indifferent to rule of law...Assange will be handed over and tortured by the US.
Indeed. The lawless regime there just managed to kill Brexit until October too (which basically means there will be no Brexit barring some near-miracle). And yet the cucks there think they can vote their way out of this. Time to think again.
Assange now turned over the right-and-honourable badge-gang guild of Cuck Island, the same fearless patriots who arrest those who dare to complain about their daughters (and sons) being enslaved and sold for the pedo-pleasures of the ruling elite and their (((financiers))) in the City of London. I seriously doubt he'll be alive long enough to be turned over to the Rotten Banana Empire's deep-state - unless they really want to do the job themselves. Wonder how they'll off him - a shiv from some ISIS-type in jail perhaps? Unfortunate accident of some kind? "Natural causes"? They'll off him just for the pleasure of rubbing everyone's nose in the fact that they can do so with no consequences.
I think they'll extradite him to the U.S., then turn him State's Evidence against the Dem seditious conspirators. And he may possibly have some insight into precisely WHY HRC found it necessary to conduct State Department business on not merely a personal e-mail, but a personal server...and then to destroy that server when investigators came calling.
I’ve read the charges, and they are quite strange. Assange is NOT being charged for successfully conspiring with Manning to obtain leaked information. Instead he is being charged for a failed conspiracy to crack a password, on the grounds that the failed conspiracy would have been in furtherance of the successful conspiracy. The conspiracy he is charged with failed, so there is no damage to national security involved. If Assange can simply show that the failed 2010 password-cracking conspiracy ended before April 2014, then the statute of limitations has expired.

There is much truth in this. The real question is whether Assange is falling into the hands of the globohomo deep-state or (maybe) someone who is against the empire but works within its bureaucracy (NSA?). The statements about the DOJ - a thoroughly rotten, criminal and corrupt deep-state operation from AG to janitor if ever there was one - miraculously doing a reversal under a longtime swamp-creature like Barr - strike me as wishful thinking bordering on delusional. Not one former DOJ/FBI criminal who has actually been prosecuted for what amounts to an endless stream of criminal activity. Trump actually managed to fire a couple of the more appalling ones, who are busy working from their Soros-funded sinecures to subvert his presidency even now.
Failure to appear in court. So essentially it'sthe old game of arresting someone for resisting arrest
Putin hopes Assange’s rights will be observed, Snowden indicates this is not a good thing. Q silent on 8chan. Chinese curse.
@14:
Because the law is nothing more than what the enforcers of the law say it is at any given time and in any given case. Laws do not enforce themselves. That requires human volition. When that is absent, there is no law.
Apologies on #36, it was Snowden, not Assange, that Trump spoke disparagingly on (“total traitor”).
Okay, Julian, listen, I mean, you've been here for a while now, and you know we've been happy to have you, you know that, but it's like, it's like things are starting to get pretty messy, you know, like, I mean there's a tower of soda cans here, what's that about, and what's with all the pizza boxes under your bed, are you trying to hide them, and seriously, when's the last time you took out the garbage or at least offered to help with the dishes, or maybe dinner, and it's not that I want to beat you up over this, but I'll admit, I'm getting frustrated, I'm getting pretty frustrated, and I think I have a right to be, and yeah, I know you've been going through some stuff, but it's all getting old, and we're getting gnats here, like everywhere, like literally in my coffee cup, and what are you doing, playing video games all day, I mean, hell Julian, it's like, well, I guess I'm wondering, what's your plan, what the hell is your plan, for real, you do have a plan, right, so what exactly is your plan, because if I don't hear anything I'm gonna have to start making some pretty heavy decisions I don't want to have to make.
How on Earth is this a move to protect him? Q types are nonsensical. They'll twist any inconvenience to suit "The Plan." Assange was already an Educadorian citizen. Why didn't Q extend an olive branch to him?
I don't hear thunder. Just police sirens.
And of course it didn’t take the reprehensible littlest chicken hawk to jump on board... i saw his headline was “Julian Assange arrested” so I had to see his take, and was not surprised. He can’t let anyone who exposes neocons pass by unscathed, even if it sets a precedent for governments to attack journalists and publishers anywhere in the world... but i guess it doesn’t matter to him since he is authorized.
I still subscribe to the idea that Assange has been long dead. The summary is that John Kerry brought in a team to break into the embassy to kill him when they cut off his internet on Oct 16, 2016.
Here's the travel record of Kerry arriving in the UK on that fateful day.
https://2009-2017.state.gov/secretary/travel/2016/t30/index.htm
After that date Assange stopped coming to the windows to wave at people. As for the deadman's switch it was pointed out that at that exact same date, Oct 16, the entire US east coast was hit by severe DoS attacks. Now I don't know how these internet deadmans switch timed twitter releases work, but the idea is that they disrupted whatever method Assange planned to go off when he missed his deadman drop.
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/oct/26/ddos-attack-dyn-mirai-botnet
Then there was that interview he gave a month later that had weird digital artifacts like his collar morphing mid sentence.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApG1XdI-Dd4
And following that there was Hollywood bragging that they could fake footage as much as they want
https://www.theverge.com/tldr/2018/4/17/17247334/ai-fake-news-video-barack-obama-jordan-peele-buzzfeed
And interestingly it was Jordan Peele's company that did it, and right after in 2017 Jordan hit the big time and got directing roles with 'Get Out' and several other movies produced like the recent 'Us'.
I predict that Assange will """die""" very soon, some sort of sudden and violent assassination or something, so that they don't have to keep up the ruse any longer. As to who is doing it, I am going to assume that in his dying breath he'll throw out something to cause a lot of trouble for someone. Hopefully it's not the deep state trying to use a puppet to throw shit at Trump now that Russia-Gate failed, and instead it's another group.

Q has said little about JA, except that he is a primary source of info...fairly neutral. Just anon thoughts that he is a "white-hat," but I disagree. JA is a Socialist, hates Trump, just hated HRC more for what she did to Bernie.
Duh!? Yeah, Seth, a Bernie Bro Socialist, uses a thumb drive to boost DNC data, gets it to another Commie Bernie Bro to announce it to the world. Just divides of the Left/globalists.
MOAR, I say!
¿Señor Presidente Moreno, cuantas piezas de plato se pagó Usted por esta traición y la muerta de su alma, y que bendición consiguiera su país como consecuencia de ella?
The SAKER answers a comment at his site:
The Saker on April 11, 2019 · at 2:24 pm EST/EDT
in fact, you are correct.
I was told by a friend that Ecuador did that because the USA made an IMF loan conditional on the rendition of Assange.
So Assange was simply *SOLD*
along with Ecuador’s honor…
The Saker
Question: If Assange cuts his manhood off like Bradley Manning, will they go easy on him?
@14- They're going to try to get Assange not merely for publishing information someone else stole but for conspiring to hack and possibly espionage.
@44- Colonies implies we have settlers living there. Which is true to a certain extent, but I don't think U.S. occupants of those countries possess any significance unless they just-so happen to be in significant roles.
Not sure what Ecuador's honor was before this happened.
"Breaking" a law isn't cause for arrest. There are 3 lawful causes for arrest; warrant, felony, breach of the peace: for which any man can arrest. Interesting things about warrants is that if proper procedure isn't followed the warrant is void.
@tubalcane: And wears makeup and a dress? Maybe. Worth a try.
Been thinking it over, and this may have been one of the only ways to get him out of there alive. Once he's extradited Stateside, discovery ensues.
Could be wrong, but I suspect this may end up being a pretty good thing for Draining The Swamp.
Assange wasn't arrested so much as kicked out (then arrested) becuase this:
"Mr Assange had claimed new asylum terms forcing him to pay for medical bills, laundry and phone calls and to clean up after his pet cat violate his rights and are meant to coerce him into ending his asylum.
Ecuador's government confirmed in March last year that it blocked Mr Assange's internet and mobile phone access because they claim he broke "a written commitment" to not interfere in the country's foreign policies.
Officials also complained that Mr Assange has caused damage by playing football and skateboarding in the embassy building, where he takes up more than a third of the space."
In other words, Assange was being a prick while his LIFE depended on him being polite. Unfortunately he thought his morals were beyond rebuke so that he could do whatever he wanted. And then Ecuador.. rebuked him.
Clever me. My link was to this blog! Meant this. Thousand pardons.
4.2B goes a long way.
There were reports that Assange misbehaved in a lot of ways. According to the NY Post he smeared feces on the walls - obviously a well-respected form of creative expression found in psychiatric institutions and modern art galleries. Anyway: An article in the New Yorker describes him as an atheist. I just wanted to say that he might have had more self-control and inner peace in his difficult situation if was religious and had access to the stabilizing force of prayer. The Count of Monte Cristo believed in God and survived 14 years in much worse conditions, and I never heard of him smearing feces on the walls of his prison.
Just listened to last night's Darkstream and found it very helpful as it clarified something for me that I sort of knew all along: I and we do not know enough about Assange, his motives, his friends and his enemies to really judge what is going on.
I think @3 might have it. It's about Brexit.
JA will likely come out just fine from this.
I think links related should allay all your uncertainties about Assange:
