11. Your ongoing slagging of humane governments in Latin America isn't going to persuade
Wed May 29, 2013, 11:48 AM
May 2013

the people who elected them and are benefiting from them, nor anyone who sees through the corporate propaganda about them, that fascist tyranny, torture and murder, and "neo-liberal"/"Shock Doctrine" looting by transglobal corporations, banksters and war profiteers are preferable.

You are clueless about what is happening in Latin America; and you seem clueless about the importance of Julian Assange's pioneering work of investigative reporting, which has made him the target of the same tyrannical forces that seek to regain control of Latin America, for looting and plundering purposes. The SAME corporate imperialists who connive to overthrow democracy in Latin America hate Julian Assange for his unique, technology-based truth-telling which has exposed the connivance and the corruption of U.S. policy in particular. Thus we get this ongoing yapping of their lapdog propaganda machine--in which Rotters is a particularly yappy little mutation--about the absurd "sex assault and rape allegations" which they love to repeat ad nauseum without questioning--charges so flimsy that the first prosecutor dropped the case and told Assange he could leave Sweden, and concerning which Assange has made himself available for "questioning" numerous times!

Ad nauseum. Endlessly sickening. Vomitty. Disgusting. As is your attempt to belittle Ecuador and its government's defense of Juiian Assange and real journalism.

The rulers of the U.K. are standing on very brittle ground, as are the co-conspirator rulers of the U.S. Both sets of rulers have violated the will of their people time and again, on fundamental tenets of democracy, human rights, economic fairness and world peace. Ecuador's government, on the other hand, enjoys an 80% approval rating! They are acting in the interest of their people and of all people. And your sneering and sniping is meaningless to those who really matter--the people of Ecuador, who support the Correa government overwhelmingly, and the people of the world who are now better informed about the plots against them, by U.S. rulers and their allies, due to Julian Assange's Wikileaks.

You are clueless about this as well--the disgust throughout Latin America and the world with U.S. and U.K. gross violations of human rights and world peace--their horrendous crimes, and the utter hypocrisy of their preaching to others about "human rights," and, in this case, their cynical use of laws designed to protect women to slander and harass and impoverish and hunt and SILENCE Julian Assange. They want NO 'free speech' for Julian Assange. They want him IN CUSTODY, in a deep dark dungeon like Bradley Manning. And they are perfectly willing to cheapen and abuse laws designed to protect women, to do so. It is nauseating. And you are aiding the sick bastards who are guilty of it, and who are spreading the disease of the "Big Lie"--endless repetition of lies, slander and propaganda, designed to stifle thought--everywhere.

Snicker, snicker. Sneer, sneer. That's all you've got. You don't have facts. You couldn't care less about human rights. You glorify and worship the U.K. rulers' financial and military power to ignore human rights and to defy the laws and sovereignty of other countries. That is your "philosophy": 'might makes right.'

I'm being generous by saying it's "clueless."

Thank you pmorlan1 May 2013 #10
Wouldn't he be more likely to be extradited from ENGLAND? telclaven May 2013 #15
He was extradited from Britain, that's why he is in the embassy. nt bemildred May 2013 #16
He hasnt been extradited until he is out of the country and hiding inside an embassy doesnt count. cstanleytech May 2013 #17
He hasn't been extradited because he is hiding in the embassy. nt bemildred May 2013 #19
Yes and I said as much. nt cstanleytech May 2013 #22
Right, so whether he might be extradited from Britain (post #15) is a moot point? bemildred May 2013 #23
Assuming your speculation is correct that the US wants to keep him penned up, silenced cstanleytech May 2013 #24
I think lots of people want to keep him penned up etc. Not just the US. bemildred May 2013 #25
To SWEDEN telclaven May 2013 #18
Right. nt bemildred May 2013 #20
So you do think the political situation takes precedence over the criminal one muriel_volestrangler May 2013 #21
"stick to international agreements, and extradite him to Sweden, for their judicial process to work" cstanleytech May 2013 #26
Just like the US tried to extradite him from the UK? brooklynite May 2013 #35
When did the US file to extradite him? I know Sweden filed due to a sexual assault accusation cstanleytech May 2013 #40
That's my point... brooklynite May 2013 #41
But the law is what will be applied treestar May 2013 #28
Probably would not be the first time the UK refused to extradite someone. JDPriestly May 2013 #30
And Pinochet should have been extradited to Spain muriel_volestrangler May 2013 #38
The moment Assange stops trying to avoid Sweden... randome May 2013 #2
The UK, along with most of the world, does not recognize diplomatic asylum hack89 May 2013 #7
England delayed extraditing Pinochet giving him many years to JDPriestly May 2013 #31
Pinochet did not claim asylum. hack89 May 2013 #36
But it wasn't. JDPriestly May 2013 #47
They made one poor choice. No reason to repeat the mistake. hack89 May 2013 #49
Its an interesting argument though isn't it? Bodhi BloodWave May 2013 #55
They've probably had enough of an unshaven, unwashed Assange hanging out at their embassy. Nye Bevan May 2013 #8
That's quite an imagination you've got there. bitchkitty May 2013 #9
They might be getting sick of him there. hrmjustin May 2013 #12
And they might not. bitchkitty May 2013 #13
Fair enough! So what do you think will happen in the end? hrmjustin May 2013 #14
Some sort of settlement. bitchkitty May 2013 #42
And they may be proudly standing up for free speech and JDPriestly May 2013 #32
Do you think they will give him up in the end? hrmjustin May 2013 #33
I have no idea. What do you think? JDPriestly May 2013 #48
Eventually an agreement will have to be made. hrmjustin May 2013 #52
And not flushing the toilet, apparently....nt msanthrope May 2013 #27

"...pioneering work of investigative reporting..." Are you kidding? randome May 2013 #29
You mean like the AP and Fox News? JDPriestly May 2013 #34
Which is probably why the U.S. does not want him. He published 'old news' that changed nothing. randome May 2013 #37
Why do conservatives hate whistle-blowers? nm rhett o rick May 2013 #39
You should find one to ask! randome May 2013 #43
What kind of evidence could prove beyond a shadow of a doubt JDPriestly May 2013 #46
I have no idea. But Assange could clear the entire matter up by going to Sweden. randome May 2013 #50
If it is his word against hers and the politics of his situation makes him feel JDPriestly May 2013 #53
Again, I have no idea. But in a 'he said/she said' situation, why automatically side with Assange? randome May 2013 #54
That's why countries have laws, legal systems and trials hack89 May 2013 #51
