Julian Assange arrested by British police at Ecuadorean embassy

[soalbundy]

He tried to beat the establishment, that never ends well.

[generealty]

I hope he gets protection or he might take a bullet to shut him up. Deep State, HRC et al will not want Trump to meet him.

So now we are just waiting for US to ask for Julian's extradition. Or it might have already been agreed, that as soon as the British police has Julian, he will be handed over.....

UK,  Trumps lap dog.

Since when has the UK become the number one US lapdog? 

Tony Blair would be the one to ask, that's the exact term he used.

Very sad day all round.

Freedom of the press is almost extinct and the Thai army will be watching this fiasco in democratic London with interest.

Australian gov are cowards for not getting him out of the UK after renewing his passport.

They're more interested in grovelling to muslim refugees in distant airports than helping real Australians. Disgusting.

Assange will be extradited to USA courtesy of their British lapdogs.

What are the odds he will disappear into the vast prison system in USA and die away.

let's see if the UK will stand up against the U.S. on principle and deny the extradition request.

I'm surprised they didn't pull a cosh on him, giving the racket he was making, never mind the eggi.....

If the UK were to extradite to Thailand the Red Bull heir, or Thaksin, would that make the UK the Generals lap dog?

I can't understand why any average joe would have anything bad to say about Assange.

Bravo! One of the few times I've ever agreed with w/you.

I've come to this late, so I don't know what others have posted, but I hope this arrogant, self absorbed, narcissistic, terrorist  idiot gets locked up forever in a US jail. Probably not a popular view among some.

Assange is not a journalist and hacking into classified servers and dumping the data all over the internet is not journalism.

Bears repeating this is not about freedom of the press. It is about conspiring with Russian hackers and American soldier to hack into private data with intent to do harm to US election (and it worked).

If you think Assange is such a champion on revealing dark secrets, why didn't he publish about Russian rotten system, tactics, etc? I once thought Wikileaks might be a good thing, but seems that was a set up for future mischief.

Also, extradition treaty with UK requires US to say what has been charged against Assange, and cannot add to the list unless he commits more crimes while in custody.

Trump keeps everybody on a leash, it all adds up. Migrant caravan walking to the US composed of Ecuadorian people and others, Trump says it they don't stop he will cut all financial help to such countries.... a week later Ecuador revokes Assange refugee status next UK arrest Assange... it all makes sense

The migrants are largely (entirely?) from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.  Those are also the only countries threatened with a cutoff of aid.

The UK has already invested over £10m on the operation to detain him in the UK. Why on God's name would they then turn around and deny the extradition request? Unless there is a radical change in government, he is going to be indicted. Assange's best hope is actually Trump quashing the whole thing which would be satisfying not only because it is morally right, but also to see the Brits £10m investment and seven years of hard work rendered meaningless because the mere whim of the overlord they did all this to please in the first place.

I much prefer any common criminal who mans up turns up in court to face justice.

 

Assange has been hiding from the courts, he’s a coward.

 

That he has questions to answer wrt to his part in the Russian meddling in the 2916 US elections is a bit of a bonus to his arrest.

 

 

Breathtaking ignorance, even by this poster's standards...

Anyone who is cheering over the arrest of an actual journalist is nothing but a tribalist sheep. Funny how the left loved him when he was releasing information about the horrendous Bush administration, but when he released information about the just as criminal Dems and Killary Clinton, he was a monster.

 

There is no journalism anymore. Between fake news CNN or the New York Slimes or faux news Fox, people only get propaganda that push narratives and agendas.

 

It's a dark day for liberty and you cheer it. When the boot of authoritarianism stomps down on your throat will you still be cheering? 

 

 

 

Once again someone calls out the left for hypocrisy but not the right. Do you have the slightest recall of now the right regarded Chelsea Manning and his revelations about how the US lied about what it was up to in Iraq? Assange's offer of help to Manning is what he is currently being charged for?

"Rapped"????   That's the trouble with these rappers...they tend to point out how our noble governments are spying on ....on the whole world, even good ol' Angela Merkel, whose phone was tapped (as we know, thanks to the likes of Assange and Snowden....

Chelsea Manning was a US Soldier who illegally distributed confidential secrets. Assange is a journalist. Nobody on the right ever suggested that the journalist should go to jail for what Manning did. The beef was with Manning. In the US, journalism is actually protected via the US Constitution.
