A Biased BBC reader writes;
“That poor self -regarding, humanity lover, , the only alleged abuser of women in the world to flee from justice and be applauded by left-wing women, the BBC, and the Guardian, yes, he, there’s only one, Assange, has put out a heart-shredding plea to, “Stop persecuting me.”
In his support, Ecuador, that great champion of Assange’s human rights today, but yesterday widely condemned world-wide for its depth of corruption and persecution of journalists, has stated:
“The evidence shows that if Mr Assange is extradited to the United States, he wouldn’t have a fair trial.”
Eh? What ‘evidence’? They don’t say. But that doesn’t stop them adding:
“It is not at all improbable he could be subjected to cruel and degrading treatment and sentenced to life imprisonment or even capital punishment.”
Blimey. Capital punishment too! But yes! The BBC found a local correspondent to add to this belief that he might be beheaded, as is certainly common in some parts of the world when they are dissatisfied with a person’s beliefs: ‘Most supporters of the Wikileaks founder share this belief,’he commented. Well yes, mate, they would, much as most supporters of the Pope share the belief that the devil doesn’t dwell at the Pearly Gates. But it sounds nice, rather like ‘most people’ if you don’t stop to examine it, as people often don’t.
The BBC’s indefatigable researchers were ready for it all of course. So don’t stop there. They had their usual reliable suspect ready. This latest BBC paragon of impartiality, a Professor Santiago Basabe, described as a ‘University lecturer’(and therefore authoritative) , let the world know, through the BBC’s tax-payer funded world megaphone web site, that: “Many see Mr Assange as somebody who has fought for freedom of speech and freedom of opinion, which are also key components of the Ecuadorean government official discourse.”
WHAT! Only the BBC in all its mind-bending, left-wing, USA-detesting arrogance could try and get away with that. This comment can only be described, to put it mildly, as unbelievable.
Read here: http://bit.ly/obimpH and here bit.ly/MteeyX how a columnist of the chief opposition newspaper was imprisoned for three years and chief executives fined millions of dollars – why? They ‘libelled’ President Correa by publishing an article that called him a “dictator” and challenged his version of events surrounding a 2010 police protest. Under Ecuador’s Criminal Code anyone who offends a government official may receive a prison sentence up to three months and up to two years for offending the president. Private broadcasters must interrupt scheduled programs to transmit government messages known as cadenas.
In July 2011 the Center for Economic and Social Rights, an Ecuadorian human rights group, reported that 189 indigenous people were facing terrorism and sabotage charges. Most of them were in hiding. Prosecutors apply a “terrorism and sabotage” provision of the criminal code for protests against mining and oil projects, and other incidents that have ended in confrontations with police.
And here’s the evidence of the President of Ecuador’s brother: Fabricio Correa said his brother’s image has “collapsed” over the past several years and he plans to challenge him for the presidency next year. He said that the President’s efforts to follow in the footsteps of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez has betrayed the basic principles of the movement they both founded… Ecuador is today prey to corruption, loss of freedoms and democratic institutions, and an increase in crime and drug trafficking. He added that’s the opposite of what they sought out to do when they created the movement Patria Altiva y Soberana (Proud and Sovereign Fatherland) in September 2005. http://tiny.cc/633ajw
So, does Assange make you sick – by pleading for decency while running for protection to the thugs who run Ecuador?
If not, this should. He had the sheer bloody-cheek, in his smug complacency, to add the following to his appeal to the world.
… “The United States must pledge before the world that it will not pursue journalists for shining a light on the secret crimes of the powerful.”
Will Assange set the example? Will this world-powerful media person return to Sweden of his own free will, confident therefore of his innocence, to shine a light on his alleged crime of attempted rape?
You don’t need to go to BetFred or any of the bookies to get the odds on that…”
