Still-MyOpinion247 • 5 years ago

Very convenient

I prefer Chinese loan

Covey WhiteGold • 5 years ago

So that was the deal then? 4.2 bln from the banking Cartel for Assange.

Frank Taetsane • 5 years ago

Easiest way to apply for loan.

FYI - The remaining suspected offenses by Assange in Sweden expire next 2020.

basstard • 5 years ago

Then they give up Assange.. (((IMF)))

IRISH • 5 years ago

Freaulai • 5 years ago

Money talks & B.S walks
Once brown & black countries have been dragged into the new age with colonialism they can't turn down the white man's money for long

KARAMBA • 5 years ago

They might change the white man to a YELLOW one !The B.S. MIGHT AS WELL BE RUSSIAN OR YELLOW ,WHO CARES !!!

Krokodil Botha • 5 years ago

Bolton said they have a new plan for Africa but it's debatable as to what extent it applies to s- africa.

KARAMBA • 4 years ago

If it is Bolton/we know his planes/WAR !!

Krokodil Botha • 4 years ago

The Americans have done absolutely nothing to help the white minority in RSA but that's fine, their time is coming.

Michael Varian Daly • 5 years ago

Wow! What a strange coincidence! #freeAssange

Michael Dale Johnson • 5 years ago

Most loans backed by the IMF, World Bank, et al usually end up defaulting because of the fine print, and with much of the national treasures then sold off to the highest private bidders. Read The Confessions of an Economic Hitman.

AlanCarrOnline • 5 years ago

So that's the price of freedom of speech eh? Taking out a loan. What a total dumbass and lowlife.

Dennis Boylon • 5 years ago

Wow. What a corrupt government.

White Mlunguz Capital • 5 years ago

So this is the reward for giving up assange eh?

Bill Liktor • 5 years ago

Now we know how much buying a Julian Assange costs.

Poodleinacan • 5 years ago

It's only a loan, though, so it's nearly worthless. They have to pay it back in 3 years.
I guess it's gonna go on the Ecuador's national debt.

Gareth Jones • 5 years ago

It is designed so that they will NEVER be able to pay it back. Then the country will be stripped of assets. If you think payday loans are brutal, the IMF and WorldBank are DEMONS run amok. Watch the documentary "Confessions of an econimic hitman".

Sweden has an extradition order outstanding, they're first in the queue.

Scott Snedeker • 5 years ago

No, they dropped it a few years ago because it had no merit. Once the U.S. filled out an indictment, the Sweden one went away. It was just for negative publicity.

White Mlunguz Capital • 5 years ago

Yeah what happened to that rape case?

magus007 • 5 years ago

No they dropped it because he evaded inquiries for too long and the statute of limitations ran out.

haedworm • 5 years ago

Wrong again. The statute of limitations runs out in 2020. The reason the case was dropped was procedural and because they couldn't notify him of the allegations.

White Mlunguz Capital • 5 years ago

So whats stopping them now?

haedworm • 5 years ago

Legally, nothing and if it starts to look like the UK aren't willing to extradite Assange to the US I expect they will reopen the case and try to extradite him from Sweden.

Jean Clink • 5 years ago

I read that she was lying and that's why.

haedworm • 5 years ago

I don't think so. I think she may have withdrew the allegation, but that doesn't prevent the state from prosecuting. I could be wrong but I think that's how it played out.

kenvandoren • 5 years ago

And most likely the loan will be to help protect and entrench an incompetent and/ or most likely corrupt government. I doublt the common people of Ecuador will be one bit better off for this bailiout, and when the current leadership is deposed or replaced, likely it is THEY who will have to make the payments on these loans.

Assange was never a journalist... at his best he was a middle man between whistleblowers and real journalists.

Catherine Staffy • 5 years ago

An award winning journalist they said.

Marco Van Bergen • 5 years ago

Your argument can do without the "jew" reference.

James Moore • 5 years ago

journalist?

journalists don't release classified documents into the public domain.

Aajaxx • 5 years ago

Not until the Pentagon Papers maybe, but that was 50 years ago. Now it is no big deal, legally speaking.

Nowandthen • 5 years ago

What planet have you been on?

Scott Snedeker • 5 years ago

The New York Times released a classified leak from James Comey just two years ago
