The expulsion of Julian Assange from the Ecuadorian embassy in London, scarcely a surprise after many heavy hints were being dropped that it was in the works, is outrageous on many counts. Not the least of those is the fact that Assange was made citizen of Ecuador by the government preceding that of the almost offensively misnamed current President, Lenin Moreno. Ecuador has, in effect, handed over its own citizen, who had taken refuge on its sovereign territory in London, to the tender mercies of a foreign power which sought to physically capture him on vague and probably legally unsustainable charges. In the process it has further humiliated and abased itself by giving permission to the police force of the host country to invade the sovereign premises of its diplomatic mission in order to consummate the previously agreed upon abduction.
Think about the precedents that this sinister operation is setting.
The Ecuadorian government was no doubt subjected by the world’s leading “democracies” to unimaginable pressure to agree to this dastardly act which, along with the self-proclaimed “presidency” of Juan Guaido, may have been conceived to set a new normal in international relations. But the venal, utterly corrupt nature of this scandal is most clearly reflected in the fact, published simultaneously with the execution of the criminal kidnapping, that a $4.2 billion IMF loan to Ecuador’s government was finally approved, no doubt by pure coincidence.
“This money will create work opportunities for those who have not found something stable,” Moreno gushed shamelessly. He forgot to mention for the edification of his people that the illusory opportunities he referred to will have to be repaid to international banks by Ecuador’s impoverished masses with hefty interest and that, in addition to moral ignominy, as a result his country has now sunk several billion dollars’ deeper into debt slavery.
Historical analogy buffs will recall that in 1993, as the Security Council of the United Nations was presented with Resolution 827 to establish, contrary to the provisions of the UN Charter, the illegal Hague Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, the hand of Yeltsin’s delegate was never raised to veto it. If anyone is wondering about the reason, it was the expectation of a promised Western loan to cover a huge shortfall in the Russian budget and to give a new lease on life to the compliant Yeltsin regime.
Remarkable, isn’t it, how bad history repeats itself?
Wow, remarkable, we’re still in the dictatorship of the (high) Bourgeoisie (oligarchy). Stop thinking as post-WWI politics as a contest among nation-states. It’s banks, finance, bond brokers contra alles.
Assange has had his Ecuadorean nationality “suspended”. This is probably how they got around extraditing their own citizen to a foreign power and to a foreign court.

Perhaps someone with knowledge of the Ecuadorean constitution can shed some more light on this…?
In Serbia, the famous extradition of Milosevic was done by having the government override the constitutional court using article 135. It was illegal of course. They did it in exchange for foreign money. http://www.antiwar.com/malic/m070501.html. They basically committed a coup d’etat to nullify the protection granted to each citizen by the constitution.
This is what Nebojsa Malic wrote about it, and you could easily insert Ecuador in place of Serbia and foreign loan of $1.3 billion with the $ 4.2 Billion that Ecuador received:
“As long as this government is in power, Serbia – and Yugoslavia, if it lasts – will be unable to build a government based on principle, the only kind that can protect the rights and liberties of its citizens. This priceless fundament of freedom can never be bought by blood money, whether it is the proverbial 30 pieces of silver or the fictitious $1.3 billion.”
sure Ecuador gets their IMF loan and Venezuela same day are told they can ot get IMF money promised to them the IMF is wholly run by USA s is the socalled ‘World’ Bank… there is now not even a figleaf only naked rule of the Mafia….
Moreno didn’t just betray Assange. He betrayed his entire country, sold out to the IMF mafia.
International affairs are now nothing more than the disputes of competing mafias.
Russia and China have an obligation despite what others say to unite and stop this insanity taking over the world. We are heading for very dangerous times and sonething must immediately be done but I think we sadly have already passed the tipping point. God help us all.
Real heros that actually fight against the AZE (AngloZionist Empire) don’t appear glorified in ziomedia. Instead, they are silenced by hitmen directed by the usual suspects: CIA, MI6 or Mossad.
In the web you can see photos of a young Assange as a member of the sect: “The Family”. And plenty of stories about his ziogrooming, specially in VeteransToday.
Rafael Correa, the former governor of “Ecuador” conducted a qualified and serious study with specialists to determine the conditions and validity of the contracts of external debt. The result was shocking: 80% of the contracts for the loans were fraudulent! (One of the reasons why the AZE tried to putsch and kill him). So clearly, these loans are the BASIC MECHANISM used by the ziobanksters to loot my country Latinoamérica (and any other country). So a part of this loot will go to the pockets of the current ziostooge, in this case, Lenin Moreno. Normally the stooge is a Freemason, and sometimes a Khazarian. I suppose that using money publicly instead of the more discrete account in a fiscal paradise was because they need to openly buy some assets within the territory.
I propose calling him Francisco Adolf Benito Moreno.
Lenin Moreno = Judas Filth. International law is now an absurd joke. Meaningless. Oh yeah, and such a timely coincidence Ecuador got its IMF loan, and Moreno gets his 30 peices of silver. Orwell was right. We are heading for a very dark, dystopian future.

Apparently…Assange was painting the walls of his sanctuary with excrement.
In Australia news of his plight is no longer worth a mention. The rendition took place the day the Federal Government handed in its writ to the Governor General (Grand Prior). A caretaker government now rules until the election is over. Thus Australia washes it’s hands of one of its bravest sons.
We have a parasitic tape worm of a Monarch ruling over us ensuring all the while that we can be reality raped by Uncle Sam. She is a kind of pimp or madam of the whore house of neoliberal capitalism Australia has become today.
Sure he was. They had plenty security cameras on him . . . verified pictures or it didn’t happen.
The vermin cannot help themselves. They always have to embroider their lies, and no matter how filthily implausible, they will be ‘reported’ with a straight face by the presstitute scum. Standard Operating Procedure. Here in Austfailia, in 2001, the Howard regime, the most Evil in our history, asserted that refugees were ‘throwing their children overboard’ from boats, to blackmail the Navy into taking them to port. Simples-Evil, swarthy, non-White. Moslem, sub-humans do not even love their children, so nasty and vicious are they. It plays to all the hatred of Moslems and Iraqis, Afghans etc, that has been pummeled into our heads for years by the Zionazi media hate-machines.
Unfortunately, for anyone who takes notice of world events, it was known that the Berlusconi Mafia regime in Italy had concocted this lie months before, and it had been as phony there as it was here. Still, however, despite huge efforts at censorship and the usual fakestream media suppression of the facts, it has long been well established that it was a lie, a Big Lie, vicious, hateful and racist, like the regime that created it. But still they maintain that the lie was true, even decades later. They have no shame, no sense of guilt, nothing but hatred, malice and cruelty.
That is highly unlikely, and incidentally a straight lift from the past when IRA prisoners in the H blocks conducted an all too real ‘dirty protest’ to be treated as political prisoners, not criminals. Photos were published with glee then, why not now? If it furthered the desired narrative the photos would be everywhere:

Anonymous: and the large majority of Aussies couldn’t give a flying figs toenail about Assange, or what is being done to the Palestinians, or Yemen or the war crimes committed by the ‘civilised’ West or anything. Except themselves, and their own creature comforts, and going on their next overseas holiday. Could Not Care Less. And it dosn’t matter who you vote for in the upcoming ‘election’…. It changes nothing. Shorten is as revolting as Morrison. Look what was done to Melissa Parks the other day. She opened her mouth about Apartheid Israel, and boom…. Gone. Sad sad sad country blinded by denialism, greed, propaganda and fairytales about how ‘civilised’ Australia is.
Gezzah, and the Zionazis are plainly planning to repeat their ‘antisemitism’ pogrom of lies and vilification, to remove any Labor member not a groveling, boot-licking stooge to their repulsive apartheid Reich. They don’t need to get rid of Shorten, because they’ve owned him for years, but they’ll go after anyone who dares resist them, or answer them back, or defend the Palestinians, in any way.
Lenin Moreno,
More like “Stalin” Moreno. Stalin’s famous quote “no man, no problem”.
The imf loan is just the tip of the iceberg of the corruption moreno is a part of. This move by zuckerberg provides a hint of it:
Ex-Ecuadorian President Correa Banned From Facebook After Posts About Corruption
https://sputniknews.com/latam/201904131074096554-ecuador-ex-president-ban-facebook/
“Facebook blocked the page of former Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa on Thursday. The ban comes after Correa has been posing information online about an offshore bank account allegedly used by the brother of Ecuador’s current president Lenin Moreno, where millions of dollars are stashed.
“They blocked my Facebook page, 1.5 million followers, This is one more part of the brutal persecution, and another show of despair for the INA papers case, which corrupt Moreno will not be able to escape. Only in this way [on Twitter] will I inform about my new page. Do not believe fakes”, the tweet says.
The corruption scandal, which might be the reason for the ban, erupted in February after WikiLeaks published a set of documents that allegedly uncovered the operations of an offshore tax haven created by the brother of Ecuadorian President Lenin Moreno, INA Investment Corp. The project linked the account to numerous criminal and corrupt operations, resulting in a congressional investigation into President Moreno for corruption.”
It’s not only that they want to get Assange, exposure of their corruption could bring down the zionazi-gay moreno quisling regime and have a domino effect on their corruptions recently forced upon Brazil and Argentina, along with put the brakes on their regime change ops in Bolivia, Cuba and Nicaragua.
The only place were a dissident may find safe refuge is Russia. Why did Assange go to Ecuador to ask for help?
It was a bad miscalculation, or Assange did not believe in president Putin?
First and foremost believe in yourself. If you however find that you cannot believe in yourself, then at your earliest convenience set yourself about the task of becoming the man that you can believe in.
Don’t know why, but the subject has apparently come up and he’s been quite specific and definite that he didn’t want to go to Russia. But really, these days it’s the only place for a dissident to go that is fairly safe from the long arm of the US. China is strong enough but you never know, they might make a trade for you. Anyone else could be pressured enough to cave or, in the case of Venezuela or say Bolivia, might be overthrown. Iran perhaps?
“This money will create work opportunities for those who have not found something stable,” Moreno gushed. This money most probably will never be used to “create job opportunities”. Its most probably destiny will be the pockets of corrupt politicians (like Moreno himself). The debt slavery will be left to the Ecuadorians .
The US is unable to honor its agreements.
The very man Lenin Moreno was granting asylum, Assange had crucially pointed this out to the world in various ways. So to put it bluntly, Moreno handed Assange over to a devil, that may not even honor the deal Moreno has signed up for. So Moreno is not only corrupt, but exposes his complete stupidity.
4/11/2019 was a dark day for journalism and humanity.
Talking of history repeating itself ..
..There is a story that Moreno was shot during a robbery. Apparently, in a supermarket parking lot, the robbers demanded he hand over his watch and wallet. He willingly did it, and as he was leaving, one of them turned and shot him in the back anyway.
Two points: (1) With the USA as the robber, history is precisely repeating itself. (2) Even then, Moreno the wealty businessman probably had the ability to attract gratuitous violence.
