The 11th Hour: a Plea To Rafael

the 11th hour (a plea to Rafael) please Mr. Correa, strong & admirable President of Ecuador, who kicked the US military out of your country & cut the money flow from the US Embassy which had selected police officers in your country, paying them off to do the bidding of the empire within your borders---setting an amazing precedent for countries everywhere!! you & your country have been a bastion of hope, letting others know that they do not need to do what the US says just because it says it. please Mr. Correa, show that same strength again, in approving Julian Assange’s plea to gain political asylum in your beautiful country, which stands at the forefront of civilization, with the ability to show the world again, that truth seekers, that whistleblowers, that the very quest for transparency, exposure & justice, which Julian & Wikileaks represents, will not be silenced, extradited by Sweden & sold into captivity back to the US, so that unspeakable torture & inevitably death will be made 10 fold upon his head, in the name of “democracy”---please Mr. Correa, prove to the world that there still is a humanity out there, which is courageous & which will not succumb to the policeman of the world’s baton, no matter how hard he wields it--- at present, Julian’s fate is in your hands, please make the right decision & let your friend & comrade in this fight against tyranny, find a home in Ecuador, if only for a little bit of time, so that the US cannot strangle him to death, deep deep deep in a dark solitary cell, full of electric shocks, sensory deprivation, cocktails of truth serums & starvation, like Mr. Manning, no doubt, has already endured. it’s up to you.
