  1. “Julian Assange’s internet link has been intentionally severed by a state party.”
    Yes, but if you know it’s a “state party”, why not identify the state?
    Surely that’s exactly the sort of thing an outfit like WikiLeaks would want to expose?

  2. Funny, but I for one am worried about Assange. His treatment has been a travesty of justice and danger to him seems to be increasing in recent days. Now who do you suppose might be behind that?

  3. The activist organization WikiLeaks says the Internet connection for its founder, Julian Assange, has been severed by what it called a “state party.”

    Let’s guess who threatened the Ecuadorian government and server.
    WikiLeaks talks about a “contingency” plan. Hopefully it works out for him.
    I never supported Assange in the past, but, considering what we have collectively discovered about the evil cabal trying to consolidate its power in the US and over the American people, I have a 180 and hope he exposes all the political corruption in the US. Maybe he could also expose the political corruption in Ottawa. One can wish.

  4. Asange is a hero.
    That one man, with a bit of help, has done more for the cause of justice than every state player in the world for the last two decades.

  5. Unless or until the unknown “state party” is actually “named and shamed”* by WikiLeaks, we are left to conclude either hypocrisy** or fantasy or a mixture of both on Assange’s part.
    * And I mean with substantive proof here, not with accusations.
    ** An organization putatively dedicated to getting secret dealings out into the public forum that won’t identify a “state party”?

  6. “[It] was Ecuador.”
    (Should have read your comment before posting my last.)
    “We can confirm Ecuador cut off Assange’s internet access Saturday, 5pm GMT, shortly after publication of Clinton’s Goldman Sachs speechs [sic].”
    – WikiLeaks
    Proof please? Or are we supposed to just take Assange’s word for it?
    Now if Ecuador did indeed cut off Assange’s Internet access, will he denounce his hosts?
    Will he leave the embassy on principle?
