Julian Assange has been arrested by British police today after being hauled out of the Ecuadorian embassy in London following an extradition request by the US.
The Wikileaks founder, sporting a scruffy beard and unkempt hair, was dragged out of the building head-first in handcuffs by a group of seven men as his stunned supporters watched on as he screamed out 'the UK must resist'.
Shortly after, British authorities confirmed that the whistleblower was being held on behalf of the US authorities, as well as for breaching bail conditions following allegations of rape in Sweden.
It comes after Ecuadorian president Lenin Moreno dramatically withdrew Assange's asylum status following his 'discourteous and aggressive behaviour' in continuing to work with WikiLeaks while housed at the embassy.

TRUMP ON WIKILEAKS
Lapides,
That's all you have?
Come on can you say Chelsea? You can do it!
I was reading somewhere that what happened was that Ecuador had applied to the World Bank for a loan and the US conditioned their approval for that loan on Ecuador expelling Assange from their embassy.
I believe there is actually a poison pill out there somewhere. A mass of encoded files were made available for download by Wikileaks several years ago with the key to opening the files to be released when and if. Millions of people downloaded those files.
Interesting timing. Barr drops the bomb on the deep state spying/coup conspiracy and the Brit element seizes Assange the very next day.

Poor me? LMFAO. This Russia hoax is crashing down. You’ll have to glom on to some other fake conspiracy. Keep watching CNN. They’ll conjure up some fresh juicy fake hysteria for you in no time.
Legions of you snowflakes are gonna need your puppy therapy, coloring books, swaddling sessions , safe spaces, etc. I’ll enjoy watching you all lose your shit.
Russ--dream on

Bob you sound like you need comfort. You are not going to get any, so you might as well suck on your thumb or a pacifier.
This one came through fine.
