Ecuador Grants Asylum To Julian Assange
Several readers have submitted news that as expected, Ecuador is formally accepting Julian Assange's request for political asylum. paulmac84 writes "The Guardian are live blogging the Ecuadorian Foreign Minister's announcement that Ecuador is to grant asylum to Julian Assange. In the announcement Minister Patino said, 'We can state that there is a risk that he will be persecuted politically... We trust the UK will offer the necessary guarantees so that both governments can act adequately and properly respect international rights and the right of asylum. We also trust the excellent relationship the two countries have will continue.' The Guardian also carries a translated copy of the letter the UK sent to Ecuador regarding the threat to 'storm' the Ecuadorian embassy."

You don't think that the media is bought up by the mega rich? Seriously? It is and it has been for hundreds of years.
I laugh at the people who claim that the USA is a bad place to live, that the government is so corrupt and they are constantly controlling us. Leave then, take your arse somewhere else and then call me from there and let me know how things are going. You complain and complain and do what....nothing! Hands down, this country is the best place to live...I'd rather raise a family here, I'd rather work here, I'd rather die for this country than to live anywhere else. Your just pissed that you live in a 2 bedroom apartment with your brother and your life consists of you trolling youtube for nipslip videos. No government is perfect, no country is perfect but it's the absolute best out there. This country brought you Walking Dead...which btw starts this October on AMC...unless you are on DISH...then your shite out of luck. :)
