Assange to be expelled from Ecuadorian embassy

It looks like Assange has finally outstayed his welcome.

WikiLeaks says a "high-level source within the Ecuadorian state" has said founder Julian Assange who has been in the embassy in London since 2012 will be expelled within "hours to days"

Sky News

BREAKING: A high level source within the Ecuadorian state has told @wikileaks that Julian Assange will be expelled within "hours to days" using the #INAPapers offshore scandal as a pretext--and that it already has an agreement with the UK for his arrest.

So I am again outside the Ecuadorean Embassy in London to see what can be seen.

EDIT: I wonder if that DOJ jet that was recently in the UK had anything to do with this decision.

expelled how?

just kick him to the curb or drop him on the other side of their border?

Started a couple of days ago.

QUITO (Reuters) - President Lenin Moreno of Ecuador told radio stations on Tuesday that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has “repeatedly violated” the terms of his asylum in the Andean nation’s London embassy, where he has lived for nearly seven years.

Moreno, interviewed by the Ecuadorean Radio Broadcasters’ Association, said Assange does not have the right to “hack private accounts or phones” and cannot intervene in the politics of other countries, especially those that have friendly relations with Ecuador.

Looks like he's been a bad guest. I'd imagine they will just walk him to the door and say goodbye.

Other side of the border will probably suit some seeing as how GB is an island.

Wow, Assange is a massive idiot.

Bite the hand that feeds...

Didn't we hear the same thing a few weeks ago?

Strange i thought the MSM had a picture of him and RGB running a marathon together this morning?

On the bright side if he gets arrested .

We will finally find out if he really does have a dead man switch with reams of sensitive ( some say blackmail ) data .

Now I wish I had extra hard drive space for all of those files before they were probably compromised

And then when he wasn't expelled/ejected, all the speculation about if he is still alive or if the much reported visit by Pam Anderson was actually an assassin in a blond wig sent to execute him?

Yes we did. Methinks Wikileaks is just trying to milk this for all it's worth to maintain some level of publicity. It would be good for him to get out and about, face the justice in the UK for the criminal offence of skipping bail, and then we'll see what happens.

And a few months ago.
And a few years ago.

Honestly though how long can a man keep himself imprisoned by choice?
Does he ever go outside? Or will he burst into flames when the sun hits his alabaster skin?

Well if you're gonna deal in conspiracies you gotta expect some in your own life right?
I mean this shoe couldn't fit any better LOL.

So we're just gonna go ahead and just believe any news we hear regarsing Assange because nobody has a motive to lie, frame him, or anything like that.

For me, this news just means they've trained the body double to an acceptable level of believability. Assange is (probably) dead. Wikileaks, compromised.

Has he ever put on a disguise to just slip out unnoticed?

I don't really give a crap about Assange.

a reply to: Sillyolme

If you look at my post above, it came from Reuters.

Now this from Fox News

Later, a top official said while Ecuadorian President Lenín Moreno was angered by the apparent hacking of his personal communications, he denied WikiLeaks' claim and said no decision had been taken to expel Assange from the Embassy. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to discuss the matter.

On Tuesday, Moreno blamed WikiLeaks for recent allegations of offshore corruption that in appeared in local media outlets and the publication of family photos to social media.

Sounds like Moreno was just venting. Who knows at this point.

Neither do I to be honest. I'd think all his followers would fit in a small meeting room.
