Ecuador Grants Citizenship To WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange (cbsnews.com)
hcs_$reboot writes: Ecuador has granted citizenship to Julian Assange, who has been holed up inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London for over five years. Quito, Ecuador, has said naturalization should provide Assange with another layer of protection. However, naturalization appeared to do little to help the Australian-born WikiLeaks founder's case, with the British foreign ministry stressing that the only way to resolve the issue was for "Assange to leave the embassy to face justice." Earlier on Thursday, Britain said that it had refused a request by Ecuador to grant Assange diplomatic status, which would have granted him special legal immunity and the right to safe passage under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
What they need to do, I think, is sneak him out with some sort of large diplomatic package, which would grant him safe passage to Ecuador.

The women in Sweden have repeatedly said that no rape was commited, and that they were shocked when people higher up in the police turned it into a manhunt and rape case.
Does anybody remember when he was a hero?
A hero? Nope, sorry. There are heroes in this world, but Assange was never one of them.
For exposing the corrupt US government to the whole world? Did that go down the memory hole? Benedict Cumberbatch played him in the movie, for fucks sake.
Here's a hint about movies: You can use them to tell stories.
Stories aren't always true. You'd think you'd know about propaganda. Maybe you should learn to recognize a work of fiction concocted to spin a message.
And he does what he always does, expose the corrupt US government to the whole world, and he suddenly became the worst criminal in the world? How does this even work?
Well, it turns out, DUMB-and-DUMBER, he isn't the worst criminal in the world. If he was, then he'd have been caught selling oil to North Korea or something. He's just a self-serving hack who gets in the news from time to time, isn't doing anything meaningful, and accomplishing little except burning up some attention from time to time.
Notice how he didn't actually do anything about the corruption in the US government, in state government, or even a city. Nothing he did accomplished one bit of constructive, actual, meaningful, accomplishment. Nobody impeached. Nobody significant prosecuted. Nobody significant resigned. Even lying fraudsters Andrew Breitbart and James O'Keefe managed to get a resignation and a prosecution.
And besides, he's shown his true colors. What did Wikileaks do about the Panama Papers? Oh. What did Wikileaks do about Trump? Worked with his campaign.
Sorry man, Assange bonered himself. Worse than the time Sherlock Holmes got caught fucking the Hound of the Baskervilles.
Just ask only for everyone to dress exactly the same way, cut the air the same way and look as much as possible as him... then everyone goes to the Ecuador embassy and leave all at same time. Do this several times, but only once of then Assange MAY really leave the embassy
The police could not track so many people and after several attempts, they will give up or agree in a valid solution... or he MAY leave in one of the attempts
Better yet, ask everyone to use a burka, that will be easier to hide as everyone is the same, be either men, women, white, ginger, black, asian, etc ... it may also requires women police (i do not really know how someone with burka is identified by a police)
