Assange 'may' walk out the embassy later
Can't make up my mind about Assange. As a libertarian I have sympathy for what these guys do. But he's such a wet, always off games with a note from nurse type, that I find it hard to have a lot of sympathy for him individually. And I don't believe that he won't get a fair hearing in the UK. He should have faced the music long ago, just wasted seven years of his life it would seem.

Italian journalist, Stefania Maurizi spent 4 years getting FOI requests and discovered that:
1. It was the UK Crown Prosecution Service(CPS) which insisted on extradition to Sweden.
2. It was CPS which tried to dissuade the Swedish prosecutor from dropping the case back in 2013.
3. It was CPS which destroyed crucial documents about this ongoing case.
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2017/ ... sange-caseEmail exchanges between the CPS and its Swedish counterparts over the high-profile case were deleted after the lawyer at the UK end retired in 2014.
The destruction of potentially sensitive and revealing information comes ahead of a tribunal hearing in London next week.
Adding to the intrigue, it emerged the CPS lawyer involved had, unaccountably, advised the Swedes in 2010 or 2011 not to visit London to interview Assange. An interview at that time could have prevented the long-running embassy standoff.
The CPS, responding to questions from the Guardian, denied there were any legal implications of the data loss for an Assange case if it were to come to court in the future.
Asked if the CPS had any idea what was destroyed, a spokesperson said: “We have no way of knowing the content of email accounts once they have been deleted.”
The UK system has got a lot more ruthless in dealing with enemies of the state during the time he was in the embassy.
It took them about 15 minutes to convict Tommy Robinson of contempt of court, un-suspend his suspended sentence for three months and the give him an additional ten months in prison, where he almost died.
Admittedly, a later court found the process flawed and ordered a retrial.

My htoughts are he would have had a better chance at avoiding extradition to the US from Sweden than the UK. It's no wonder the UK wanted him out. That way they would have avoided upsetting their puppet master.
Ecuador spent 6 million quid on him and what bugged them most? He was 'unclean' and 'neglected his cat'. Whatever the fuck you do, do not neglect the cat.

^ Assange has also reportedly been accused of smearing (presumably his own) faeces on the Ecuadorian embassy walls.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/world/news/a ... d=12221697
So there is the possiblility he was in the habit of smearing the faeces of others on the walls. Perhaps a DNA test is in order. Plus Assange sued his host country of Ecuador three times over the alleged violations of his human rights over his 7 years living within the embassy.
Julian Assange has been accused of smeared faeces over the walls of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London during his seven-year stay, it has been claimed.
During his stay at the Ecuadorian Embassy, during the government of the former president Rafael Correa, they tolerated things like Mr Assange putting faeces on the walls of the embassy and other types of behaviour of this kind that is far removed from the minimum respect a guest should have in a country which has generously welcomed him."
Romo did not indicate whether the faeces was Assange's.

What's a bit of feces smearing between friends, what do you say, Pammy?
He has prolly gone a bit crackers after all this time and very pale too, beginning to look like Edgar Winter.

Not quite sure what look he was going for. Is it a David Letterman or more of a Howard Hughes starter kit?

- John PilgerDo not forget Julian #Assange. Or you will lose him.
I saw him in Belmarsh prison and his health has deteriorated. Treated worse than a murderer, he is isolated, medicated and denied the tools to fight the bogus charges of US extradition. I now fear for him. Do not forget him.
John visited him a couple of weeks ago and talks about his conditions in the interview below. The whole interview is interesting but the Assange part
starts at around 22.00.
Thanks for the update. I haven't heard much about Assange recently. It's almost unbelievable how badly western countries treat their dissidents.

Agree, Pilger paints a pretty grim picture there. Maybe it's because the whistle-blower often becomes the vilified, or maybe because no-one likes a coward.
Let's just hope he got to play with Pam while couch surfing Ecuadorian styles.

LOL 'high security' ... smuggled device.
shouldn't be too hard to work out who was recording (don't they have CCTV recording?)
Julian looks exhausted. Perhaps he is tired of having people talk his ear off without escape.
