(London) Julian Assange came to the worlds attention in 2010 when he published the stolen diplomatic secrets of the United States in 2010 via his website 'Wikileaks'. The worlds ethical latte drinkers saw him as some sort of social justice champion who was giving it to the man (In this case the US) and in their eyes he could do no wrong and so they flocked to his cause with a passion. Yet behind this carefully promoted image of the liberal worlds latest saint stood a most arrogant man who had no problem resorting to the very methods of bullying, intimidation and force he had no problem accusing the US of in which to get his way.
In June 2010, Assange travelled to Sweden in which to set up shop, due to the fact that extradition from Sweden to the US was almost impossible. Within months he had been accused of sexual misconduct with 2 of his female fans. When those accusations turned into allegations of rape , he relocated to the Uk which is known as the place to go if you wish to drag out any court proceedings and he did this by playing the 'they will send me to to the US to face torture or even die' if I am returned to Sweden, which is strange as his initial move to Sweden was to seek protection from extradition to the US (which funny enough to this day (27/10/2018) still hasn't laid any charges agaisnt him) However by June 2012, the British courts decided that they had no issues with deporting Assange back to Sweden to face charges of sexual impropriety , which is where on the 10th of that month he sought refuge inside the Ecuadorian embassy and there he has remained in self imposed exile. Since then his sponsors at the Guardian have fallen out with him due to his demands, his so called friends who posted a £340K surety , lost it when he did a runner and now he has lost the sponsorship of the Ecuadorian government after he decided to take them to court after they issued the following demands regards his stay inside their London embassy:
1) Clean up after himself after using the toilet
2) Feed his cat
3) Pay for food and laundry
4) Have a medical
5) Stop meddling in the political affairs of other countries.
Well to Assange and his cronies this is a step too far and so he's decided to sue Ecuador over his human rights, with his lawyer claiming (and I quote)
"It’s virtually a prison regime,this new regime goes against his basic human dignity as an asylee,”
Oh dear, how the mighty have fallen.
