Obama continues looking like a horse's ass even after he's gone.

Ecuador has granted citizenship to WikiLeaks founder Julian
Assange, the South American nation’s foreign minister announced
Thursday, in a bid to resolve an “unsustainable” situation at
its embassy in London, where Assange sought refuge more than
five years ago.

But a standoff with British authorities continued, as the
Foreign Office rejected an Ecuadoran request that it grant
diplomatic status to Assange, insisting instead that the
Australian national “leave the embassy to face justice.”

Ecuador’s foreign minister, Maria Fernanda Espinosa,
subsequently said that Assange would not leave the embassy in
the absence of security guarantees. She said in a news
conference Thursday in Quito, the Ecuadoran capital, that
Assange was granted citizenship on Dec. 12, after having applied
for it in September.

Assange, who angered the U.S. government when his anti-secrecy
organization published troves of classified documents obtained
from a U.S. Army intelligence analyst in 2010, sought refuge in
the Ecuadoran Embassy in 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden,
where he was sought in an investigation of alleged sexual
offenses. Sweden later dropped the case, but Assange remained
ensconced in the embassy because he still faced arrest by
British authorities for jumping bail.

Bradley Faggot Manning was the traitor.

He also is said to fear extradition to the United States, where
the Trump administration’s Justice Department is weighing
whether to charge him for his role in publishing the secret
documents obtained from the Army intelligence analyst, Chelsea
Manning, who was then known as Bradley Manning.

News of the Ecuadoran move to grant Assange citizenship emerged
Wednesday when the Ecuadoran newspaper El Universo reported
that, according to the country’s civil register, he had been
assigned an identity number. The daily reported that Assange
also may have been issued a passport. The Ecuadoran Foreign
Ministry at first responded that it would not address “rumors or
distorted or out-of-context information,” Germany’s DPA news
agency reported.

— WHEN WILL JULIAN ASSANGE’S REMAINS BE BROUGHT HOME AND LAID TO REST?

(c) 2017 Dolf Leendert Boek, Revision: 12 January, 2018

Julian,

<http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2018-01-11/could-julian-assange-be-deported-from-ecuador-embassy/9321004>

I think it time that the Ecuador Embassy deported you to Australia and you
overcome your fear that Americans will subject you to legal action if you
leave the embassy.

Take for example the Russian enquiry which the Americans have been
undertaking for so long that they are clearly caught in a rut which
suggests a lack of noumenon that ought to be the arbiter of reality and the
protector of the sovereign state. If that was adhered to, then no action
of yours would be an impediment.

That President Trump’s frequent TWEETS are from a public relations
perspective one of the few ways that American politics gets anything done.
Rightly or wrongly he creates an universe of discourse whereby motion of
government occurs.

And in that respect your leaks of Intelligence information does exactly the
same thing and your release of the Wolffe’s “Fire and Fury” manuscript has
assisted Trump’s cause.

If I can still detect from Hitler’s TABLE TALK writings translated into
English a #231 conspiracy with Roman Catholicism to slaughter Jews, what
validity is there to the argument that anyone can make especially given the
matches of morphological sym-bulimia keyed with the STRONGS Hebrew/Greek
lexicon and impositions of a substantiated substituted ethos being made
upon our BOER / ANZAC tradition.

Perhaps this suggests that academics such as Miller are inhumane and
obsessed with pedantry to such a degree that they can be accused of
themselves being propagandists for the cause of fascism.

<https://www.disclose.tv/an-ancient-manuscript-of-the-bible-has-been-discovered-proving-that-it-is-a-work-of-fiction-314928>

A manuscript of a handwritten copy of the Bible has been discovered at
Cambridge University. The fascinating document shows the King James Bible
in the early editing process of the work and shines a light on just how
much of the original text of the Bible has been omitted from the version
that Christians read today.

King James Bible heavily edited from the original text according to
academics at the prestigious university, the handwritten manuscript had
been mislabelled which meant that it had been left undetected and without
investigation for an incredibly long time.

However, once the manuscript was discovered it caused something of a flurry
of excitement in historical and theological circles as it proves that the
King James Bible, which is one of the most widely read editions of the
Bible in the modern world, has been heavily edited from the original text.

Whole sections of the original text of the Bible are reported to have been
cut out from the finished product with notable people and events being
completely omitted from the finished product.

Professor Miller, who was responsible for re-discovering the astonishing
text and bringing it to light, says that he believes that these omissions
were due to the academics of the age either falling ‘down on the job’ or
just being too lazy to include everything.

He says that his find really illustrates the human impact on the creation
of the King James Bible which is often overlooked by Christians and
academics.

Aren’t you rather, by your statements, simply engaging in fascist
apologetics and subterfuge?

What otherwise is the point you are trying to make?

The discovery of this highly edited text is bound to cause some degree of
controversy in theological circles. The vast majority of Christians who use
the King James Bible today believe that it is the divine word of God, and
yet this discovery proves that the Bible is really a product of the whims
of the translators, the editors and the political figures who lived long
after the death of Christ.

This manuscript will surely raise questions as to whether Christians today
are really following the original line and letter of Christianity.

We prefer the Aramaic Targums any day— Every page reads of Catholic hatred
and intention to slaughter Jews.

How did they come to otherwise possess such intellectual property rights of
others?

I would suggest that my publishing a cursory analysis of Adolf Hitler’s
TABLE TALK would reasonably be categorised as publishing national secrets
of a magnitude greater than ASSANGE has ever done.

<http://www.grapple369.com/docs/Voyeurism.pdf>

Can we even trust the French or this given President “what’s his name”
infatuation with the Roman Catholic Church—didn’t they make him an
anomalous Prince as reward for pandering to their fascist idealism?

Such is his empathy that he weeps for slaughtered priests who “died that we
might live” for their cause célèbre...

Should we not rather mark our centennial by pouring red paint upon our war
graves so as to remind those incalcitrant and ungrateful French and
Europeans that we clearly fought against fascist imperialism?

Why does he (Miller) not have things to say about Hitler’s TABLE TALK
writings translated into English confirming a #231 conspiracy with Roman
Catholicism to slaughter Jews?

I think it is because he derives a pleasure from the crime...

“And I will say to my soul, ‘Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many
years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.’

But God said unto him, ‘Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of
thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?’

So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
[Luke 12:19-21 (KJV)]

The Ecuadorians may 'grant' Assagne Martian citizenship but the fact remains that he is a fugitive from British justice and there is an active warrant for his arrest in existence which will remain in existence so long as he remains on UK soil and make no mistake, the Embassy of of Ecuador in London stands on UK soil despite the urban myth that it is part of Ecuador. Under the Treaty of Vienna, any recognised diplomatic mission receives from the host country merely certain rights as to the inviolability of accredited persons within that embassy and an agreed boundary around it.

Assagne's only hope of freedom is to surrender himself to the court that bailed him and throw himself upon its mercy. It's unlikely he would walk away with a slap on the wrist under these circumstances. His punishment would be a matter for the justices dealing with the case and not HMG but purge his contempt he will and rightly so.

If he leaves the Ecuadorian Embassy with or without Ecuadorian 'protection' he will be arrested and taken before the court.

I don't think there is a permanent police presence outside the
Ecuadorian embassy to arrest him. If Ecuador declared him to be a
diplomat, would that not give him immunity from arrest?

However, Sweden has since dropped all proceedings against Assange, so there

arrest him?

Of course, the freemasons want him dead - but that is another matter
completely.

He will never be tried in this country for charges laid in another.

He will we held to account for contempt of a British court. In fact in a sense he has already been punished by proxy in that the sureties who stood his bail might well wish an opportunity to recover the money they lost by his actions.

No business of the British courts who sat to decide whether his extradition to Sweden was lawful and they decided it was.

There doesn't have to be! I am sure sure UK intelligence will have a ear in the Ecuadorian Embassy (and any other hostile embassy for that matter) and so the UK authorities will be well aware of things going on in there.

Telephones can be tapped and so on. walls have windows and windows have glass which vibrates synchronously with any nose that goes on behind it.

In any case, assuming A was able to give the authoroities the slip. he still would need to clear border security at the airport.

In any country all foreign diplomats have to be accredited. This means that the host country must agree to their appointment before they take up post. No country can insist that another accepts any diplomat they have themselves nominated.

All foreign diplomats to the UK government must present their credentials to the Court of St James before they will be recognised as such.

Any diplomat whether accredited or not must be withdrawn immediately at the request of the host power.

Not unless the Court of St James ackowledged his diplonatic status. And
that won't happen. The idea of Assange as a diplomat is laughable.
