ECUADOR’S PRESIDENT Lenin Moreno traveled to London on Friday for the ostensible purpose of speaking at the 2018 Global Disabilities Summit (Moreno has been using a wheelchair since being shot in a 1998 robbery attempt). The concealed, actual purpose of the President’s trip is to meet with British officials to finalize an agreement under which Ecuador will withdraw its asylum protection of Julian Assange, in place since 2012, eject him from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, and then hand over the WikiLeaks founder to British authorities.
Moreno’s itinerary also notably includes a trip to Madrid, where he will meet with Spanish officials still seething over Assange’s denunciation of human rights abuses perpetrated by Spain’s central government against protesters marching for Catalonia independence. Almost three months ago, Ecuador blocked Assange from accessing the internet, and Assange has not been able to communicate with the outside world ever since. The primary factor in Ecuador’s decision to silence him was Spanish anger over Assange’s tweets about Catalonia.
I don't always agree to Greenwald (to put it mildly) but he's always consistent. I wonder how many people who Rah-rah'ed Assange's exposes of Iraq Goof Ups will abandon their stance because of the 2016 Emails and lists of Hillary's Big Bank Bribes Speech Giving Honorariums.
Expect the 180 Degree Hypocrisy Flip-Flops from Pundits to come with the force of a whiplash if he's given into British Custody.
