Julian Assange: Wikileaks co-founder arrested in London – BBC News

Wikileaks co-founder Julian Assange has been arrested at the Ecuadorian embassy in London.

Assange took refuge in the embassy in 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden over a sexual assault case that has since been dropped.

At Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Thursday he was found guilty of failing to surrender to the court.

So – they phonied up a witch hunt, then finally nailed him on a process charge.  Sound familiar?

If not, how about this?

IMF approves $4.2bn loan for Ecuador | eNCA

WASHINGTON – The International Monetary Fund on Monday approved a $4.2-billion, three-year loan for Ecuador, part of a broader aid package to help support the government’s economic reform program.

The Washington-based lender agreed to the terms of the financing late last month, and the final approval of the IMF board on Monday releases the first installment of $652-million.

They probably figured that $4.2 billion was a cheap payoff to be able to bury Assange in a dungeon forever.

What?  (blink?)  Oh, come on.  Coincidences like this happen all the time.
