Update: UK Withdraws Threat Of Raiding Ecuador's Embassy Over WikiLeaks Founder, Julian Assange

Since being granted diplomatic asylum from Ecuador's government, WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, is still inside of the Britain's Ecuadorian Embassy awaiting any news on a safe exit out of London.

When the British government made their threat of seizing Assange if he tried to exit the Embassy, even though, he was granted his asylum, Ecuador did not take those threats lightly. Quito and the Ecuadorian government was infuriated after that warning and took the necessary steps to make this change happen.

With the exclusion of the US and Canada, the Washington based Organization of American States, and the South American foreign ministers, disapproved the UK's threat and supported Correa's stance that Britain's warning was deplorable, which could resolute to a dangerous outcome, if Assange continues to be held up in the Embassy.

Back in May, Assange and Correa befriend one another after the interview on The Julian Assange Show.

President Correa also expressed that he shares Assange fears that if he were to be sent to Sweden, the US would extradite him for the WikiLeaks publications in 2010 of secret US cables.

Correa sat down with RT News and gave an exclusive interview stating, "Imperial ambitions," "won't change Ecuador's position on Assange."

Fortunately, the threats of London's police raiding the Embassy have now been withdrawn.

This past Saturday, the Ecuadorian government gave notice that it received, "a communication from the British Foreign Office which said that there was no threat to enter the embassy."

Ecuador's President, Rafael Correa stated in a weekly media address, "we consider this unfortunate incident over, after a grave error by the British in which they said they would enter our Embassy."

On the following day, Sunday, a British spokeswoman made a statement, " we remain committed to the process of dialogue we have entered into and we want that to resume with the government of Ecuador."

In support of Julian Assange, the Hactivist Group Anonymous, made claims of taking down the websites of Interpol and a British police force in, "Operation Free Assange," a campaign calling for the freedom of the WikiLeaks founder.

Anonymous has also made claim of taking down Serious Organized Crime Agency (SOCA), the UK police unit who's role is known for operations against serious and organized crimes in that country.

There are also reports of protesters that supports Assange, still vigilant in their cause, are outside of UK's Ecuadorian Embassy, holding up signs, "I'm Julian," and wearing Guy Fawkes masks.

In the event of all this media and support from so many across the globe, Assange still remains trapped inside the embassy and awaits his long endured diplomatic freedom of asylum.

Will he make it to Ecuador safe? Even though that promise has been made by the Ecuador's government, keep in mind that in many cases that there is always someone on the inside who is working for the outside.Who will pay the price for his asylum with their life? I hope no one does and that Assange is truly protected to the fullest.

I say these things because Assange is an asset and many want him gone. His knowledge can bring many countries into an uproar by the citizens, including the US, due, to the information that he and WikiLeaks has. I do not wish any harm onto him or anyone that has aided him in this. He is a brave man and hero in my eyes because he stood up and let the masses know the truth of what lies behind that hidden veil.

The truth is something that is and should always set you free. It should not be used against you by lying on you and creating distractions that points the finger elsewhere from what the real initial story is and was about.. In today's world, it is the complete opposite. Especially, when it deals with government secrets and laws that are purposely created to control and hold you. We as people have the right to know what is really going on in this world. If we don't ask questions then how would we ever know?

Stop living in a world that has been "created" for you by those who paint a "false picture" and live in a world of  "awaken reality."

An Update And Somethings You Should Know About The Empire State Building Shooting That Occurred On August 24



I would like to start this off with the picture above and want you to take a real good look and the surveillance footage that was frozen to show you what really happened with at least one of the officers who was "supposedly" firing at the gunman. Keep in mind there are two officers shooting in this picture. How does this add up to you? Well, for me, it doesn't!

Now, I would like for you to watch a short video of the actual surveillance footage, from the frozen picture above provided below.


From what I saw after watching this video and I will repeat there are two officers firing shots that it is obvious that one is not firing at the "actual gunman," who has the .45 caliber on him. What I will say is, "the surveillance video is showing you exactly what did occur." 

This is how I see things in life, facts are facts and man's words are no longer his bond in many cases. Especially, due to all the mischievous misleading and intentional distractions that are given to the public by mainstream media and the people behind and in front of them. History has proven this and I will leave it at that.

After all the confusing media reports, confusion, and misleading stories. I decided to just wait and see what sold information would turn up after the tragic shooting  that occurred at the Empire State Building last Friday. That led to police killing the gunman Johnson and injuring innocent bystanders in the process of this. 

On Friday, the day of the shooting, a press release statement was given by both Mayor Bloomberg and Commissioner Kelly

Commissioner Ray Kelly, made a statement  yesterday, which proves that the NYPD did fire shots that wounded 9 civilians. The Commissioner stated that 3 out of the nine were injured by police bullets and the other 6 were hit by fragments..???

Folks, as with this and any other story, there is always more to it. The question is, will we ever know? 

Many witnesses have given statements on live television on the day of the shooting and from what I heard and viewed from them and from what mainstream actually reported, are two and many completely different stories. 

Take the time out to really go through this tragedy for yourselves from the beginning until now and put the factual pieces you can find together in this puzzle to get the real picture from what is being other than reported by mainstream and find your own truth. 

Again, and as always I will say it like a mantra, "I am not here to mislead neither to co-hearse your minds into believing anything. What I do is help open your mind's eye, "the 3rd eye," the intuitive eye, that we all posses and can achieve clarity by bringing you facts that makes you think n all this confusion and distractions that a purposely given. Then, hopefully you apply it for the betterment of the self by raising oneself from the "lowerself into the higherself of consciousness!" "Free your minds and always, "Each One teach One."


Check out my blog about what occurred on the day of the shooting:

New York's Empire State Building Shooting

Photo from: rt.com
What has been described as "a workplace dispute that spilled out into the street,"  happened today at New York's Empire State building and into the streets. It has been reported so far  that 2 are dead and 9 more (some media reports are claiming 10, while others are claiming 11) are injured when a shooting broke outside Manhattan's Empire State Building.

Police have identified the now dead suspect as 53year old, Jeffrey Johnson, who is a women's fashion designer.

Reports are says that Johnson may have been motivated by a workplace dispute. Johnson was laid off about a year ago and returned Friday, blending in wearing a suit and had a brief case as he was going to work, sources are saying. He was noticed, then stopped by security who informed him of his termination.

Stay tuned as this story develops. I just had to get this out just in case you have friends or family that work in or aound the Empire State Building.

Another thing that I've notice with this developing story is that many sources are giving all complete different stories from Mr. Johnson's age, to when he was released from his job, how many people were actually hit, to him being a disgruntle employee, to the police's bullets may have hit innocent bystanders, to the construction worker following him, etc. What is being reported is, nothing but confusion right now, in my ears and eyes!

I refuse to mislead you all and will wait for more sold information as this story grows. What I will add is, "will this tragedy be used as a ponzi-scheme that forces the government to disarm us?" It seems that since more shootings are occurring, that this has been the topic of conversation through the media and government officials.

My words are NOT to be used as "scare-tactics" neither as "fear-mongering," consider it a "food for thought, " and "one to grow on," due to the fact ,that every time a tragedy occurs that involves a shooting, you better believe and it is proven that the media has a field day with gun control laws and the right to bears arms...

In the mean time, please read the articles, watch the video, and view some photos, which I must warn you, are graphic from the sources below..

Time, CNN Columnist Fareed Zakaria, Who Was Suspended For Plagiarism Is Now Reinstated

Photo from: rt.com
A little over a week ago, CNN's  Fareed Zakaria host of GPS, "Global Public Square" and columnist for the network, was suspended after he admitted to plagiarizing a column on "gun control" out of the The New Yorker by Jill Lepore.

It seems that Zakaria took some passages out of  Lapore's April 23 issue in The New Yorker, "Battleground America."  and that Zakaria's, "The Case For Gun Control," which is already out and most likely now revised, is dated for August 20, shows media reports claims, a very noticeable similarity to Lapore's essay.

What led Zakaria to commit this act? Zakaria made this statement, "Media reporters have pointed out, that paragraphs in my TIME column this week bear close similarities to paragraphs in the Jill Lepore's essay in the April 22 issue The New Yorker, they are right. I made a terrible mistake. It is a serious lapse and one that is entirely my fault. I apologize to unreservedly to her, my editors at TIME, and to my readers."

Later on, TIME also released its own statement, "TIME accepts Fareed's apology, but what he did violates our own standards for our columnists, which is that their work must not only be factual but original; their views must not only be their own, but their words as well. As a result we are suspending Fareed's column for a month, pending further review."

Now keep in mind that both statements were on August 10. Now, 3 days ago which would was August 16, a bit over a week's gap, and NOT the "month" that was stated for suspension and "pending further review," TIME, CNN reinstated Zakaria.

TIME magazine spokeswoman on Thursday states, " We have completed a thorough review of each of Fareed Zakaria's columns, for Time and we are entirely satisfied with the language in question in his recent column was an unintentional error and an isolated incident for which he has apologized."

CNN also did an internal investigation of Zakaria's work and stated, "We found nothing that merited continuing the suspension," it also reads, "Zakaria has apologized for his journalistic lapse. CNN and Zakaria will work together to strengthen further the procedure for his show and blog."

Zakaria's article in TIME has been reschedule to post in a somewhat of different context on September 7.

Now, with all of this out in the open, Zakaria's apology, and both internal  investigations seemed fit to TIME and CNN, what does that say about journalism and the media today? Can anyone admit they plagiarize another writer's work, make the apology, then get the pat on the back that it was ok and not intentionally done after being admitted by the person who did the act? Or, is TIME and CNN trying to save themselves due to the declination of viewers(CNN), in so many ways, in their ratings?

Just remember to keep in mind that Fareed's show GPS, is a flagship show. So, will the story of his plagiarism help bring TIME and CNN's ratings up? I've come to learn that attention of any kind in media, whether it is good or bad, always seems to do the trick, but will it be enough? We'll see how this one turns out in the near future..

WikiLeaks Julian Assange, had a news conference today from the balcony of the London's Ecuadorian Embassy.

ABC News 24  reported that there was a heavy police presence at the embassy and if Assange steps out the building that he would be arrested. Supporters of Assange were already outside the Embassy with signs awaiting his speech.

Video of Assange's awaited public speech on the balcony of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London from RTNews  (article & video)

Ecuador Grants WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange Political Asylum

The day has finally come where WikiLeaks Founder, Julian Assange, has been granted political asylum by the Ecuadorian government. Assange, was on house arrest for 560 days, with no previous charges. Then taking refuge in Ecuador's London's Embassy since June 19. This was due the U.K's Supreme Court ruling in May which authorized his extradition to Sweden, to face questioning of an alleged rape and sexual assault.

The Ecuadorian Foreign Minister Ricardo Patino, stated that his government had given "extreme and careful consideration" to this decision. It also appears that Assange's human rights may have been violated in this case claimed also by the Foreign Minister.

In support of Assange and this granted asylum, several protesters have been in front of the Embassy since 1 p.m.(BST) awaiting that final decision by the Ecuadorian government. The crowd is chanting "I support Ecuador and I support Julian." They are also shouting, "Hands off Ecuador!" So far, 3 protesters have been arrested for the day and many more may fall into this category as the day progresses.

However, the U.K. is not allowing Assange a safe way out of the country and police still remain at the doorsteps of the Embassy ready for anything it seems and to arrest Assange if he decides to leave the building.

Assange's diplomatic status can be revoked within a week says the British Foreign Office. Officers can also move into the Embassy and remove Julian by force. FM of Ecuador Patino, was in shock and stated that if the British entered the Embassy by force,  that it will be "a hostile and intolerable attack on his country's sovereignty."

WikiLeaks says, "the U.K. is under a binding obligation to recognize asylum, the rights of refugees and other UN laws." RT News has reported that Sweden has summoned Ecuador's ambassador and is claiming that Assange's asylum is unacceptable. 10 Police officer's did enter the London Ecuadorian Embassy, no word on what has happened as of yet. RT News, "The Foreign Ministery of Ecuador has released a statement on its website on  Assange's plea."

Press Release: Julian Assange Statement and stay tuned for further developments of this story.
