On Julian Assange

Dated 10 April 2019


On fifth April 2019, Julian Assange the founder of WikiLeaks was kicked out of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. His crime? Assange was accused of leaking Moreno (Ecuador’s PM) personal photographs from his vacation. This act was considered as the reason to suspend his citizenship which was given by Ecuador earlier. This made the impending US extradition which was on hold for 7 years, easier.




Ever since the infamous Afganistan War Logs with the help of Bradley Manning, the whole world was convinced that Julian Assange had blood on his hands. While Assange was in the UK, fears political persecution and extradition to the United States forced him to seek Ecuadorian asylum which is: if Julian Assange stepped a foot inside London, leaving the Embassy refuge, he would be charged with a dozen charge sheets,one of them being treason to the state.


To no one's surprise, after Ecuador's betrayal, Sweden too went for the kill and reprised the sexual exploitation charges which it had earlier widrawn.

Now what one needs to know is that Mr. Assange, the Man who hacked the Pentagon at the age of 17, brought the biggest superpower to its knees and managed to tilt the US Presidential Election(The Clinton Emails) while being on an internet lockdown, is certainly not an idiot.


Why would he hammer his own coffin by leaking private information about the guy who was providing him Asylum?


Here's why the accusations are false


On February 2019, Ecuador got 4.2 Billion in financing by IMF.Though IMF is an independent body it still is in the shadow of United States. My opinion is that a backdoor deal was finalised with Ecuador's PM to exchange Assange for this favour.

Given Julian's infamous reputation, the vacation pictures lie seems to fit.

Also Ecuador had recently faced a change in government. The the new government had a pro US stand so the timing was perfect for them to show their loyalty.


Most Wikileaks supporters were sure Donald Trump would be the saving grace in this scenario. During the Presidential election Trump used to love waving papers regarding the controversial Clinton email leak (which wikileaks had released) and then on many instances said “I Love Wikileaks”(sic) but now when asked about his action on the Assange situation he says ''I don’t know anything regarding Wikileaks.”

If Mr. Assange is sentenced to his impending 50 week Jail term in UK,it would lead to extinction of any future Journalists who are willing to take risks for the truth to come out.


Dated 12 April 2020

It's been an year since that unfortunate day, and its been an year since Julian Assange has been imprisoned in Belmarsh Jail (used for hard-core criminals).Recently it has been reported that he has been tortured and currently is in solitary confinement 23 hours a day. It was revealed 13 hours ago that he has had 2 children with his lawyer who fell in love with him, while in the Embassy. In an interview she mentions she is afraid of loosing Julian to suicide.
