Ecuador Cut Off Assange's Internet

Monday Oct 17, 2016 · 1:25 PM PDT

Remember remember... you're a guest in someone's home

So some noise was made overnight about poor Julian Assange not having access to the internet as he hides in an Ecuadorian embassy in London. Much speculation that US covert ops or some other nefarious bad guy was responsible, including veiled threats from Assange and his organization.

Welp, guess what. It was his hosts who cut off his internet access.

We can confirm Ecuador cut off Assange's internet access Saturday, 5pm GMT, shortly after publication of Clinton's Goldman Sachs speechs.

This is very similar in aspect to Assange’s aborted balcony press conference. [propaganda embedded link here, I won't post it] News reports at the time said that Ecuador informed him he couldn’t have his press conference unless he was going to release damning information on both candidates for President. And that if he didn’t like it he was free to walk out the door and into the arms of the British police waiting patiently to extradite him on rape charges.

Wikileaks doesn’t have any material on the GOP or the Republican nominee… or… you know anyone. They just happen to have tons and tons of (ahem, not really interesting) material on Democrats and Hillary Clinton.

And so instead of risking losing his freedom to publish material that he has described as devastating to Clinton’s campaign, Assange backed down. And instead gave a late night infomercial and quite accidentally ended up trolling internet looney-toon Alex Jones. Who dubbed him a “Hillary butt plug” — though I am sure that was the 32 hours without sleeping talking.

But Wikileaks did eventually start dribbling out their “deadly” info (that so many “journalists” continue to suck at the miserly Wikileaks teat would be embarrassing if they hadn’t so thoroughly debased themselves already). Someone had provided Wikileaks with an archive of John Podesta’s private email. John Podesta is not a public official. He’s just a private American citizen. As the Clinton campaign has said, this is like if Woodward and Berstein had reported on the documents that Nixon’s thugs had stolen.

Evidence is mounting that Ecuador is getting tired of Assange’s antics and they’re pulling on the leash. And Assange and his dudebro-travelers are squealing.

I bet if the stuff Wikileaks was leaking (the email correspondence of a private American citizen) was actually consequential and showed evidence of malfeasance things would be going better for them. I’m sure Ecuador preferred things when they could pretend they were protecting a valiant civil rights watchdog, rather than a morality challenged deplorable.

VALIANT? CIVIL RIGHTS WATCHDOG? THAT's what you call a THIEF from Australia?

I think, If I remember right that he is the sob that posted the EMBASSY Leaks! And that is what Hillary spent her first year PLUS MORE doing ... Going all over the world, sticking out her hand while repairing the damage that this ignorant deplorable did to OUR AMBASSADORS and all personnel in our EMBASSY'S!

it's about time he goes to jail .. I don't care who jails him .. but he has caused enough damage all over the world .. and as for us! ..we have a democratic ELECTION coming up!
