I thought he was given asylum by Ecuador, and was living in their London embassy.

Assange would be dead and long decomposed if he posed a real threat to the status quo.

Julian Asshole aside, I’ve always had mixed feelings about Wikipedia. On the one hand, I do not like the idea of intelligence being spewed left and right like a leaf blower on 11. There are state secrets that are vital to national security that should be held tightly.
On the other hand, governments have no doubt done sneaky sh#t that is illegal and/or abhorrent, or at least deserve a public debate, which we wouldn’t know about even in the broadest sense, without such leaks.
It’s quite messy.

Someone is growing weary of Julian. Is the smell that bad?

Ecuador's government is cutting off WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's communications outside the nation's London embassy.
Officials announced Wednesday they were taking the measure in response to Assange's recent activity on social media.
As part of an agreement between Assange and the Ecuadorean government, he is not permitted to send any messages that could interfere with the South American nation's relations with other countries.

Can we quit pretending now that Assange is some kind of transparent government guru and instead finally acknowledge that he is just a rat holed up in a rat hole, selectively leaking information to play kingmaker?

Moosie, how long have you been gracing us with yer perspicacious observations,
yet you’re still taken in by an obvious troll? And if not then is a sincere question
not allowed here?

But when you are selectively targeting Dems in an October Surprise to influence the election you are an Agent of Russia, a hostile foreign power.
The Think Tanks and intel agencies that brainwash you fools read these type of responses and go ....
"Look at these fools actually believe these horsesh!it disinfo and smear campaigns we throw at the st00pid public and media outlets."

"Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence and thereby eventually lose all ability to defend ourselves and those we love. In a modern economy it is impossible to seal oneself off from injustice.
If we have brains or courage, then we are blessed and called on not to frit these qualities away, standing agape at the ideas of others, winning pissing contests, improving the efficiencies of the neocorporate state, or immersing ourselves in obscuranta, but rather to prove the vigor of our talents against the strongest opponents of love we can find.
If we can only live once, then let it be a daring adventure that draws on all our powers. Let it be with similar types whos hearts and heads we may be proud of. Let our grandchildren delight to find the start of our stories in their ears but the endings all around in their wandering eyes.
The whole universe or the structure that perceives it is a worthy opponent, but try as I may I can not escape the sound of suffering.
Perhaps as an old man I will take great comfort in pottering around in a lab and gently talking to students in the summer evening and will accept suffering with insouciance. But not now; men in their prime, if they have convictions are tasked to act on them.”
Julian Assange"

No sympathy here. I understand they are going to fumigate his quarters in the Equadorian Embassy, now that they are finally rid of him & his stinky ways.

He's a hacker, not a journalist.
Looks like his jail cell is about to get a serious downgrade.
If I was to give him any advice it would be; "Don't drop the soap!"

He'll be treated well enough for a while, as he goes through interrogation. Maybe he'll drag that out as long as he can, because it's all downhill after that.

I can't imagine he will ever be lucky enough to be in the general prison population.

Gen Pop doesn't think very highly of rats and sexual assault suspects.
