Julian Assange to be expelled from Ecuadorian Embassy within hours after UK deal.

The WikiLeaks founder has been in the London building since 2012 after seeking asylum there as Swedish police wanted to question him over allegations of sexual assault and rape. WikiLeaks tweeted on Thursday night: “A high-level source within the Ecuadorian state has told WikiLeaks that Julian Assange will be expelled within 'hours to days' using the INA papers offshore scandal as a pretext and that it already has an agreement with the UK for his arrest.” Mr Assange is wanted by American authorities for his role in publishing secret US documents.

According to The Guardian, Ecuador’s president, Lenin Moreno, said Mr Assange had “repeatedly violated” some of the conditions of his asylum.

Mr Moreno said that “Assange cannot lie or, much less, hack into private accounts or private phones”. Mr Assange was also ordered by Ecuador to not “intervene in the politics of countries, or worse friendly countries”. The president claims that photos of his bedroom, wife and family were circulated online, although he didn’t accuse Mr Assange of doing this.

If you had faced up to your accusers, and even if found guilty, you would be out by now, free to commit new crimes, older and wiser. Yet, like a baby, you have been hiding and what has that gotten you?

Pro tip: face up to your problems, don't hide from them, they only get worse.

that Assange really fears and for good reason especially if Assange has or knows anything that might bring down Putins allies in the Whitehouse or among the Repungants in the Senate.

He's liable to end up dead after rendition and a few rounds of "enhanced interrogation." Julian has pissed off the some rather powerful people in several spots around the globe.

A crisis is expected only a few hours or days or months or years from now! Will Swedish femi-nazi CIA agents track him down once he is expelled from the embassy? Or will Hillary's deep state friends murder him with a drone and make it look like suicide?
