Exit Stage Left
It was not Police or Security at the embassy that prevented the break-in but it was Julian Assange himself who thwarted the intruder. Fearing for his own safety, Assange had crafted a makeshift booby-trap which caused a fire extinguisher to crash to the floor alerting the Wikileaks founder of the situation.
Joe Lauria of Consortium News penned an article about the most recent break-in attempt on October 29th, 2018. In the lead up to the 2016 elections, an intruder scaled the outside wall of the embassy before being spotted by embasssy security.
An attempted break-in at Julian Assange’s residence inside the Ecuadorian Embassy in London on Oct. 29, and the absence of a security detail, have increased fears about the safety of the WikiLeak’s publisher.
Lawyers for Assange have confirmed to activist and journalist Suzie Dawson that Assange was awoken in the early morning hours by the break-in attempt. They confirmed to Dawson that the attempt was to enter a front window of the embassy. A booby-trap Assange had set up woke him, the lawyers said.

Where's the Security?

24 Hour Surveillance / Tens of Millions in Taxpayer Money
Despite the fact that Julian Assange is under 24 hour surveillance with no less than 3 signal jammers and 18 electronic devices set-up surrounding the building to prevent any communication with the outside world, it took London Metropolitan Police 9 hours to respond after the attempted break-in at the Ecuadorian embassy.
Surely, the British police surveillance units must have been aware of the intrusion attempt. With the millions of pounds spent every year to fund high tech monitoring equipment aimed at preventing Assange from leaving the embassy they must have spotted and recorded the event and did nothing to intervene.
Concerned citizens responded to the event finding an absence of security at the front door.
Later on the day of the break-in, Sean O’Brien, a lecturer at Yale University Law School and a cyber-security expert, was able to enter the embassy through the front door, which was left open.
Inside he found no security present. Someone from the embassy emerged to tell him to send an email to set up an appointment with Assange. After emailing the embassy, personnel inside refused to check whether it had been received or not.
An even more distressing aspect of this attempted trespassing is the fact that Assange himself had to respond to this crisis do to the lack of security.
Julian Assange's health is deteriorating daily and is very likely unable to defend himself should he come under attack.

Grab Teams
![Graboid.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/v4vapid/ol7DQe03-Graboid.jpg)
Several months ago, night vision camera's filmed intelligent agency grab teams camped outside of the Ecuadorian embassy. Enhanced images appear to reveal members of the grab team reviewing operational procedures for abducting Assange.
As the title on the document suggests it seems to be outlining protocol for if any or all of the covert video feeds that monitor the activity at the Ecuadorian embassy went down. The term Op Kudo is of particular interest as according to Wikileaks it's the code name of the UK operation to grab/kidnap Julian Assange.

Threat to Julian's Safety
Considering the above, Julian Assange safety is in serious jeopardy. In response, the #Unity4J movement called an emergency online meeting to discuss the most recent threats faced by Julian Assange at the embassy. Activist and journalist Suzie Dawson (@suzi3d) was joined by Ray McGovern and many more supporters to shed light on the recent events and to organize a response to the latest escalations against Assange.
Already, plans ar ein the works to increase support on the ground in London with a demonstration to be held, not at the embassy but at the famed Harrods department store every Saturday during the Christmas shopping seasons. Peaceful actions are scheduled to begin as early as tomorrow. A simple chant has been created by the #Unity4J movement.
Chant:
"We are banging pots & pans
'cos we won't let them kill this man."

Great article as always, I will likely use this in a video soon. Will cite the information.
Thanks, maybe provide the links to the #Unity4J official site if people are interested in finding out the latest or are interested in becoming active in the community.

That would be very helpful.
Cheers
Will do.
It’s amazing how little is done to protect a guy whose aim is to uncover lies and deceit of those in power, you’d think there would be at least a few out there doing whatever they can to keep Assange safe. The lack of security protecting him is appalling, makes me think the whole act of protecting him is just a facade
For sure, and i think this stems from US vice Mike Pence's visit to Ecuador to meet with Moreno.
Apparently a deal was reached to make JA's situation impossible and to find justification to oust him from the embassy. They're worried about the optics and want to avoid the ire of public opinion that would generate a pubic outcry and bad press. So instead, they implemented the new 'draconian' rules for Assange inside the embassy hoping to break JA. It's disgusting.
Yeah man, it's despicable how shitty and blatantly dictatorial they can be. We are in the 21st century and you are not able to voice truth and opposition without fear of persecution.
Also, Bernie Sanders is a piece of shit (the douche on this platform).
I can’t think of a more dangerous place for JA to be than here in Britain.
The evil that pervades our world eminates out of the City of London and the scum that hide in the shadows pulling the puppet strings like the Wizard of Oz will stop at nothing to shut down the narrative of truth and eliminate those who stand as a beacon of truth and freedom.
As the world slowly wakes up to the lies, deceit & crimes perpetrated by these parasites over generations there will be a reckoning, sadly I fear it may take a martyrdom type event to get us there quickly.
If the kill JA they’ll just be speeding up their inevitable downfall, personally I’d take the slow route...
Great work V as always.
Sadly, I agree with you on the Martyrdom point. I'm heartened to see the organization of supporters trying to get attention and justice for Assange though, there's still good and noble people in this world.
Always nice to hear from you TP!
The comical part of the post was the revelation that the met police took 9 hours to respond to a break in.....
I think that’s a record 😂😂
Haha...well you got me there!
I was thinking about the blokes sitting in vans across the street just twiddling their thumbs ;)
Ready if you are.
I bet you £1000 he aint there.
While I do believe it's important to be skeptical of almost everything we see on corporate news, we also have to be skeptical of alternative theories as well. It's true we haven't seen definitive 'proof of life' since 2016, but I'm going to go on the word of John Pilger who visited him in late 2016 on this one. Assange is alive (and unwell) in the Ecuadorian embassy.
As much as I am appreciative of all the support you have given me. on this one I have to disagree, I no longer think he is alive, I know his family history as you do, and it is not pretty, the rest we leave to everyone else to dissect.
I respect your opinion, even when not aligned with mine.
I respect your opinion as well and though we disagree here we do indeed have a lot more interests in common.
Cheers
And that is where I feel let down with not having a upvote worthy of rewarding your honesty back, maybe one day.
They probably are/were hitting him with pulse weapons too...who really knows what torture he has endured beyond captivity?
If Assange is smart and has any true friends in the world at all he should be long gone from this place.
I think that the US government will going to get Assange sooner or later @v4vapid

All this for telling the truth about the war in Iraq. Sickening. Moreno needs to get some backbone instead of being a puppet to America. I wish they could tunnel him out...
