Londoners: There will be a peaceful protest outside of the Ecuadorian Embassy today (Nov 20) at 1 pm. We will demand to see Assange. At least 20 people are expected, probably a lot more.

Was getting caught part of your master plan?!

Cheers to 0x000420! He toughed it out and took the 2 minutes to post it to r/london.

Edit: Uhg I just looked it's 5pm there, maybe we can try again next year. =(

Please remove your call for upvotes; that is against the reddit TOS and could potentially result in this subreddit being banned.

I didn't realize that. I removed it.

Thanks, comment reapproved.

reclaimed your position u/assuredlyAThrowAway?

Couldn't we just sarcastically infer not to upvote it to work around this measure?

Nope. That rule is very strict; well IMHO for anyone not part of Conde Naste/Reddit Inc. or greased the right palms (CTR).

yeah, the more people not really doing anything about this better.

As a concerned citizen of the past (it's still the 19th where I am), I thank you.

21st here. Godspeed from future Australia.

It's all a trick, the globalists want his followers to demand he show himself, then the sniper will take him down.

Assange won't fall for it

ask for the popemovil :)

How'd it work out?

Not great. Cold and rainy. Gonna plan another one for either next Thursday or Sunday

Thursday is Thanksgiving in the US and most people here won't be paying attention to the news. Just a thought.

Another thought... we should have a US-side gathering somewhere coordinated with the next UK one. Australian Embassy in DC?

NYC is a good place for this sort of thing, too, particularly right now.

What about seattle? Or is it too cucked? Seattleites don't give a fuck about rain.

Cold and rainy

From what I've heard of London that's an average day

You're right. It rains 400 days a year in the U.K.

[deleted]

Of course. I should have known to have been a tad more inaccurately specific when talking on the internet. Haha.

Thank you for your correction. 👍🏻

420 on leap years, maybe?

Is it foggy too?

Not so much in the last 80 years. But whenever Jack the Ripper reappears for some reason. :/

Aliens.. and fog machines.

Ah. You know some people who watch the history channel I presume? Haha.

Quite. Aliens and fog machines. It's hard to see any way to conclude any other answer. Right? Haha.

From what I've heard that's a nice day in London. At least it's not freezing and pouring.

its always cold an rainy ( used to live in whitechapel ) . we had our first snowfall here this morning so i wish you well. also i dont think he's in the embassy anymore , has the uk security detail been removed recently ?

Can't remember link bit they stopped paying for the police outside everyday.

Think it was to lure him out..

Sorry to hear that, we applaud your efforts here in NY.

"Cold and rainy"..? And here I thought that was a summer weather for London

The heat ensues. Long I zipped around raising dollar slurpies. Heat absorbed, very exhausted. Tried a kebab, enjoyed not. Oranges very enjoyable, ripe!. Sleepy, energy needlessly drained. Summer nearing and know endless sun!.

Sounds to me this could be a false flag to get him out into sniper view

Update - After the votes for my post being normal for quite a while, suddenly a storm of downvotes appeared, looks like I'm onto something

Lol and this is why this sub will never be able to organize a protest.

Edit: and instead of thinking "hey maybe this is just a silly idea" you take the downvotes as evidence you're right. I don't envy your mindset.

[deleted]

Explain why it's so impossible?

Don't get me wrong, I personally think is already dead/being "enhanced interrogated", but please explain why his theory is so unbelievable.

Edit- read your post history, I now regret feeding the troll.

[deleted]

Oooh! Me next! Say something about me! Doooo eeeeet!! I have a surprise for you. :-)

Top kek

Ridiculous.

Powerful people want Assange dead, that's a known fact

They arent going to shoot him from a window... Come on now.

They've had heart-attack gun technology for 40+ years. You don't think they've figured out how to make that shit long range and accurate by now? If not that, then they've gotta have something that can discretely take him out if they get him within their sight.

This is why no one takes this sub seriously

Fucking long range heart attack guns

The CIA disclosed their heart attack gun in 1975. A pistol designed to fire a pellet of poison that was small enough to be imperceptible, the pellet designed to dissolve in the body, and the poison would cause a heart attack.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LO6tiD5Dy0

So what's so ludicrous about them developing a long-range rifle that could do the same thing?

Of all the reasons this sub isn't taken seriously, and there are a lot of reasons, this shouldn't be one of them. This technology, and least in the hand gun version, has already been disclosed.

No kidding that it is a known fact. But if he's assassinated with a sniper bullet while at the window, it would give credence to everything wikileaks has done; he would achieve martyrdom. The Elite don't want people thinking of Assange as saint for the next 50 forseeable years. They would make him disappear, not kill him in broad sight.

Well we would know he's dead then... solves that question.

that's what they want you to think...

Julian could fake being lured in to the open and assasinated to create an opprotunity to mail himself to equador in a diplomatic pouch.

Exactly what I came here to say. If I were him I'd tell them to fuck off

I confidently predict zero news coverage by the MSM.

I wouldn't report on 20 protesters either.

They reported on Clinton rallies though, so there's a chance.

Spicy.

Meatball.

R/limitedhangouts. Too soon..

limited hangouts are one of the many things that scares me.

The true move makers get the benefit of seeming to be transparent but are really just consolidating power and streamlining control.

Indeed. Mostly because ppl think "what! How dare you question what Snowden and time and nyt and wapo told us#!"

Thanks, me too

How many Clinton rallies did you go to? The one in Toledo had at least 200 people.

200 people! Holy shit!

Meanwhile, Bernie rally has 20,000 people.

MSNBC: "hundreds of people showed up to the Hillary Clinton rally today! Things are looking good for the future first woman president!"

And then meanwhile trump has got 60,000

I think Clinton has the record for largest attendance during an event this campaign season though, 33000.

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/11/on-eve-of-election-hillary-holds-her-largest-rally-to-date.html

There is no source to this article, in fact this is the only article that has such an outrageous number. Pensacola bay center, where this rally was held, has a maximum capacity of less than 15,000. This article is simply not true.

Edit: Half of the comments on this article are pointing out that this story isn't even true! Nice try.

No but you might put your camera low and behind them so you can say, LOOK AT ALL THESE PROTESTER(S)!

Someone been to film school?

Twenty protesters at random location, no.

Twenty protesters outside the Ecuadorean embassy where Assange may or may not be....?

Context matters.

Do you know how many small protests are held outside various embassies around the world each day?

And most of them have exactly zero implications to the entire fucking world. Context. Do you understand it?

Neither does Assange though.

People care about him here. Most people don't.

Most people don't.

Thank you MSM!

I will say his nomination for time man of the year might change things. Other than that I stand behind what I said. Ask a random person if they know about Assange. They might be able to tell you he is the Wikileaks guy. They probably won't be able to tell anything about him being hauled up in the embassy. Hell, his rape thing got more coverage than that.

But, yeah, I'm just a shill coming here to spread misinformation. In my free time I also like arguing with brick walls.

Assange has a bigger implication to the entire world than say global warming, a Russian land grab of Crimea (at least in the eyes of the protestors),nuclear weapons, war in the middle east or the hundreds of other issues people protest about?

I mean Assaange is a big political figure but let's not start saying he is the biggest thing in the world right now

You've got it all wrong silly! It only gets covered if they're protesting against Assange

Live coverage of the event: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lKie-vgUGdI

20 3 protesters

Why the fuck would MSM cover a dozen or so neckbeards rallying outside an embassy. At any given time in London there's protests going over something, and by OPs own admission, it was cold, windy, rainy, and not that many people there.

Unless it got violent and a commotion started, this is less newsworthy than the crowds that gather on Speakers Corner.

Fill the street, have an extended protest focused around a single decisive and clear message, and maybe you'd get a one-line summary.

I'm not trying to be snarky, but given that nothing has changed with his situation in the last week, there's no news here.

We need news coverage from someone here. Streaming live or recording is easier than ever. Get enough people to see it and the news is forced to pick it up at least locally or higher

Someone else can film it and post it here.

American here, would join you if I could, so I will spread this thread.

Can we order them a pizza or something?

Nah, I dont have any more diapers. Would be too much work

I hear Comet Ping Pong Pizza is delicious despite the 'eccentric' staff.

Mmm, I like where this is headed. Continue...

A person claimed they showed up at the event and only 2 people were present, so they left. Is this true?

Probably.

Sounds about right.

Cold, rainy, windy. We'll do it again in a week.

You absolutely need 3 people on periscope. One on location, one within sight of the first person and a 3rd in sight of the first two.

Why is that? Just curious

They're going to have equipment that they can use to kill cell signals. And the buddy system.

Hmm, I'm still not sure I understand why you need to be able to see the other streamers. I believe you, I just don't know much about this stuff.

It's just a simple buddy system. It's harder to yank 3 people off the street if they're a block apart.

We demand to see Assange, unless it's rainy?

It's England. That's no excuse.

correction: its england, thats the only excuse we need.

Build up more support!

Its London..

Someone jump on periscope?

inb4 3 people show up

Is someone planning to Periscope?

Yeah Londoners, we need you on this one

Be careful while you're there. If the protest starts to grow in size watch for people trying to shift the tone. Also watch people's foot wear. If they are wearing work/military/police style boots they could be agitators.

Shit, they caught onto us boys, everyone switch to your Converse and Uggs so they don't suspect....

So, can I ask what is the purpose of your comment?

Like, what exactly are you contributing to the conversation?

Fashion sense.

Oh ok, so it's not trying to be dismissive towards the idea of agent provocateurs. Simply zero common-sense of when to make "jokes"

Got it.

It doesn't sound like you got it.

The comment implies, via the joke's subtext, that identifying agent-provocateurs by their footwear may be a less-than-foolproof system.

Now that you know the purpose of the comment, feel free to reply to it in a more meaningful way. Perhaps you have a counterargument to offer. Perhaps you feel that people wearing work boots are always agent-provocateurs. Perhaps you are aware of a little-known London byelaw, requiring that undercover law enforcement officers wear a particular style of shoe while on the job.

A wee bit of jocularity to ease the tension. I appreciated it.

Indeed, the US and Mexico have had covert agitators in protests so that people think less of the protestors.

and up here in Canada . we have agent provocateurs often . also often wearing funny boots

https://youtu.be/TbLU9tdDwxo

La Vanguardia is a good source.

If I goto a protest that has the possibility of a march I always wear my black combat boots. Don't be prejudiced on footwear alone.

As someone who experienced a protest infiltration first hand during occupy, they wear whatever footwear they want.

People like to regurgitate that footwear thing, since it makes them feel like they have the knowledge needed to avoid such a trap.

The same thing gets trotted around by people at music festivals regarding the DEA.

And then they are surprised when it turns out the guy with the knarly 6 foot dreads and mud covered feet was in fact an undercover.

I guess it's good to be aware that they might drop the ball like that, but it's pretty unlikely. Especially given how much of a trope it is amongst people trying to be aware.

Short & petite female metropolitan police officers dressed as raver girls were making the rounds at various London music festivals too.

So if I want to agitate wear my nikes. Got it, thanks.

Make sure you have plenty of cameras running and keep your faces covered, good luck!

Please no guy fawkes masks..

Is there a tactical reason for this, or are they just considered tacky?

Extremely tacky. And the masks are licensed to the production company that made V for Vendetta, so they get a huge cut out of every mask sold.

How can we support you?

There's been talking of sending flowers for a "shrine", but I'm not sure "the anons standing out front of the ecuadorean embassy" is a valid delivery address.

Good work guys.

Please livestream this on periscope.

I doubt he'll ever be seen again, think "Running Man"

Food riots in progress

I heard that there's a guy named George Soros' that may be interested in paying one of two of you to throw a brick or start a fire. He's always looking to have a little fun.

#PurpleLondon #AmericanInvasion

what are these?

They are hashtags, its a way of organizing a topic in multiple different online formats. For instance, looking up #SiameseCats will display any photo or video that someone has tagged with this hashtag across twitter, Facebook, instagram etc.

i know. but what are these hashtags about?

I think it's about this

thank you

Ha ha that's never going to happen.

Please document it

Pamela Anderson was here today. Just seen her.

She is part of that whole spirit cooking squad. Don't trust her.

No photos?

Did get a photo, will upload later with description etc when at a computer

The one chap there told me this.. He saw an 'important looking lady' come out of the embassy pre me arriving, car waiting for, she said to driver wait I'm going for coffee first. Then when I was still standing/talking with him he said 'that's the important lady there' (women in all white approaching car outside embassy), it was pretty clear it was Pamela straight away. He did not realise this till I mentioned so.

Wait why is Pamela Anderson visiting him? Are they close friends or something? /r/outoftheloop

Yes she visits him often, they were introduced by Vivien Westwood , they are both JA supporters.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0AtFNrvHvM

You're kidding right

Outside 3 Hans Crescent solo. Dissapointing; there is at most 1 chap with a coffee and some food.

Are you shouting for Assange? Ring the doorbell?

Guy who was already there rang doorbell asking to talk to Assange, told nope.

He didn't come to the window for these guys 6 days ago http://uk.reuters.com/video/2016/11/14/pro-assange-protest-held-outside-ecuador?videoId=370461101&videoChannel=75 , doubt he will today either, especially as I can't find a single tweet or anything about anyone even being there!

He didn't come to the window because he isn't in the embassy anymore.

How did they get him out with no one seeing?

We're doing it again either next Thursday or Sunday. Stay tuned.

Great initiative. Please record what you see and report back to us!

Wouldn't it be ironic if Assange came to the window to greet the concerned masses, only to promptly get shot by the sniper that has waited for weeks on the building across the street?

Wouldn't that confirm everyone's suspicions, if a sniper assassinates a head figure in what may be the biggest uncover of government corruption in US history? Sounds like a really stupid idea you'd only see in a Hollywood movie.

Not to mention, if they were willing to shoot him through a window in front of witnesses, they would have shot him a long time ago.

There has to be a reason that he has not released a POL video at the very least. IMO it must be because he cannot. Guessing he is not there anymore.

Thanks Obama /s

Somebody in Ecuador or someone in London that knows an embassy worker or insider should be able to confirm something. .

How did it turn out?

updates please, 5am here on EST, not sure how far ahead you are

The time is currently 14:50 in London.

Can you keep us updated on how it goes?

Cold, rainy, windy, not many people

....great :/

hes not dead he has been smuggled out

I hope that's true

Except he would have most likely been smuggled out by CIA and tortured for the dead mans switch.

Well, it's remotely possible he got smuggled out by friends. Whole situation is very troubling.

Why is this still front page? Didn't a whole 2 people show up?

Someone please do a live Facebook feed and a live periscope feed so us in the states can show our support and solidarity as well

Tell Glen Greenwald

You need a sustained daily protest for weeks for them to care.

So some agency can assassinate him? No thanks

It's about time, I hope there's a large turnout. I would like to see this happen everyday, keep the pressure on. I want to believe Wikileaks has not been compromised but the timeline of events is suspicious

On Assange's video promoting The Wikileaks Files book on C-Span, he said there was about $20 million of surveillance dedicated to him around the embassy, not including MI6. This includes both covert operatives in rooms in neighboring buildings, and OVERT funny looking vans parked at the curb.

When you were there, did you notice how empty the area was? I'm guessing there wasn't a single overt surveillance van parked outside. This would be a clear sign Assange is not inside the embassy.

I think they dialed back the surveillance at some point

Wish I could be there for this :/ sadly, I live an hour out side of Chicago in America haha

If thats the case, shouldn't you have a friend/s in england to go for you?

Question: How often did Assange show himself in the past?

I sure would like to hear about what happens. Maybe if enough people show up he will come out and speak (if he is there). But I have a bad feeling something has gone terribly wrong.

I think it is a dangerous idea, for him that is. A sniper could easily take him out.

So he should post a fucking video?

Any update ok this?

Shit, probably would have gone. Only just saw it. If there's another one being organised, PM me and I'll go for sure.

American here, just landed at Heathrow. Where y'all at?

So how did this go?

@JohnPilger twittered last night that his interview was filmed inside the embassy on October 30th. So it's only been 20 days?

Pilger was probably blackmailed to say these things and promote the idea Assange is still alive. Given the video, it is blatantly obvious Assange wasn't in the same room.

And please nobody share the video of the put words in Bush's mouth again, I know it exists, I saw it at least a year ago, and it would't be a very good quality comment, "Well they can do this now..."

Assange will appear, but it will be a body double!

If he took a dump on your chest you wouldn't believe proof of life.

I swear, if I lived nearby Id join you guys.

Good luck chaps, I pray he pops out for a moment, I have been so damn concerned about his well being and fear for his life at this point.

Get it bros! Photos if he comes out.

Just saw this... shame I was so late... :(

More fake news. It's actually hilarious, considering WikiLeaks' twitter linked to a 4chan post by an anonymous person (this sub loves anon 4channers) who claimed to be a former member of WikiLeaks and that WikiLeaks is compromised. WikiLeaks, in their tweet, called this "black PR" to discredit future releases by them.

In essence, you have thousands of low-IQ, irrational people thinking Assange is gone and on the other side, you have WikiLeaks claiming this is a government black propaganda campaign.

Of course, both are wrong. The reality is that this sub has seen several viral hoaxes (like WikiLeaks' tweet spell out HELP or that weird Adobe software effect on Assange's eye) that the irrational people here believe.

You wanna tone down the dismissiveness a bit? People have real reasons to be worried and many of the people associated with WL have actually died, some under mysterious circumstances. I agree the paranoia is tiring, but not necessarily misplaced.

In essence, you have thousands of low-IQ, irrational people thinking Assange is gone and on the other side, you have WikiLeaks claiming this is a government black propaganda campaign.

And meanwhile, we have photographic proof of a newly-created London "counter-terrorist" cop sitting in his car supposedly right outside the Ecuador Embassy, playing with the stock of his brand new Sig Sauer MCX rifle, because who else buys those particular weapons when the AR-15 is so prevalent.

It's not hard to see the conspiracy going down, after all.

If he was ok, he would post fucking evidence he was ok so everyone can stop worrying about him.

Fuck off with the bullshit.

The interview with Pilger is evidence enough. He doesn't have time to waste with anti-government useful idiots online, who lack the ability to think rationally.

90% of his supporters are questioning whether he is alive, so quite clearly that was not proof enough.

90% of his supporters

His fan base isn't just composed of /r/conspiracy theorists.

Nerds!

Assange?

We will demand to see Assange

That'll make it easy for the snipers.

Ecuador could always make him an ambassador - diplomatic immunity after all.

anybody want to clue me in as to the point of this? serious question

r/WhereIsAssange

I am in london organize another one please

How did it go? I assume nothing happened?

Outside 3 Hans Crescent 20.11.16 http://iob.imgur.com/uYGg/zEDQHt9Gsy

This a screenshot from the crap video I took earlier just to evidence her presence from my perspective. Not a fan of filming strangers. I'm shit at reddit, posting from phone, so please excuse this mess. Just confused really what she is up to in all this..

Brief summary of today's highly uninteresting events from the time while I was there...

  • Arrived at the embassy around 1430
  • No sign of people there really
  • Hung around for a bit noticing one chap that was clearly loitering in the area for the same reason
  • Went over to talk with him
  • Both us there for this
  • He was not British, works in IT, won't say more as not necessary
  • Talked for a while
  • He started telling me about everything that had happened so far since he been there
  • From many big Green trucks, aka Harrods delivery vehicles going around the back of the embassy to the store, to random official looking men walking the road (not related I think)
  • Most interesting though was him saying an important looking lady came out of the embassy at one point, a car was waiting for her, she told car to wait, "im going for a coffee"
  • Whilst still talking with him he suddenly says that's the lady there, now we're both looking at a smart lady dressed in all white, walking from Harrods area to the embassy where she got in a car out front. Saying goodbye to two friends it seemed
  • It was straight away obviously Pamela Anderson
  • I took video soon as I realised it was her, seemed peculiar
  • Found it very interesting, o_Õ why was she there again...

My personal assumption is she is a red herring there to intentionally mislead us into thinking he is still inside. But that's only because I presume John Kerry's visit last month changed the situation seriously.

Either way she was there for whatever reason.

Sharing this as y'all are better at exploring the depths of connections.

WTF has Pamela Anderson got to with all.this...

Edit: spellings

Edit 2: Outside Ecuadorian Embassy 20.11.16 http://iob.imgur.com/uYGg/G9FB3UXIsy

I know the language is an utter mess in places, it was quick notes copy and paste.

Why did she visit the embassy again today is the point though...?

Your link isn't working.

I really wish I could of gone tbh. But the train ticket from Carlisle to London at last minute would of cost me £400.

Could have*, would have*

Yes because I can pull out £400 out of my arse whenever.

Not everyone is rich. Some people only have £60 to live on a week.

Please, don't assume because it makes you sound like a pompus ass.

He's telling you that you shouldn't have said could of or would of. Those aren't proper phrasings. It's could've and would've.

You're the only one that sounds like an ass here

You're the only one that sounds like an ass here

LOL. No. Anyone that spell checks people on the internet are pretty dumb. Just my two cents.

Thanks I kinda agree!

I mean yeah, I got the grammar wrong, thats a fair point. But just commenting just to correct my grammar.

Sorry, I have a feeling my comment would have come across better if I had said something like this --

Not meaning to be rude, but it's actually 'could have' and 'would have' :)

The simple truth is that small nuances in written/typed text do matter -- that fact is evident, seeing how my comment was misconstrued as being rude when I was really just trying to help out. Similarly, if you're corresponding with someone who knows that it's "could have" or "would have" instead of "could of" or "would of", you will be more positively regarded if you use the correct phrase. That small detail can make a bigger difference than most people think. It's just a useful thing to know, especially in cover letters, resumes, and even more trivial things like Tinder chats. Even if people say they don't judge others on these things, if they notice the mistake, they are making an evaluation on a subconscious level at the very least.

Anyway, I'm sorry my correction came across as me being a "pompous ass"! That was absolutely not my intention. I was just thinking your communication would be more effective if you knew the correct phrase (i.e. "could have" instead of "could of") -- which I thought would be good since you seem to have valuable things to say, and I wouldn't want people to discount your opinions just because of a grammar error. I hope you enjoy your week.

No, please It was my fault too for misunderstanding and getting my back up.

And this reply is amazing!!

I should have said, "Not meaning to be rude, but it's actually 'could have' and 'would have' :)".

OK, sorry. As there was no context to his post I thought he was being a pompus ass. As in he was being arsey in the sense that I could of gone down to London if I tried. You know the phrase "could'a, would'a, should'a" ... as it was my fault that I have no money to pay for an over priced train ticket to London.

There was no context that it was a grammatical issue.

Maybe expanding on his comment, instead of being a grammar nazi. Personally, even as I was duly wrong to assume his stance, the fact he was just correcting my grammar ... still makes him sound like a pompus ass.

That escalated quickly.

he was correcting your grammar not criticizing you

That wasn't apparent, and i have already apologised!

He's in GitMo, not the embassy.

He probably wont show for fear of being stoned.

I highly doubt Assange is getting stoned inside the Ecuadorian Embassy

Well, what else is there to do when you've been locked in a building for that long?

/s

Ecuador has the best weed, I would.

I honestly hope he's dead, hahahahaha

What about the time wasted writing that condescending comment? And it must have taken you quite a lot of time to learn to be that much of an ass... seems like that time might have been better spent working with the needy.

Why do you get to decide what is important in this world and what is not important? I think Wikileaks is pretty important and Assange's treatment should be highlighted to the public.

You must be a real blast to chat to in social situations.

"Gah, why are we talking when we could be saving the world?!"

You are spiteful, your attainable goal should be to not be a spiteful, ignorant shit.

Cool story shill.

You run a charity that pays your bills. Good job.

"Nor will it actually work and anyone see Assange." If he is there, you never know. They might make enough noise to draw his attention and to make him poke his head out for a moment. I don't think anyone has tried that yet, and it's worth a shot, to give us all peace of mind.

Well, you certainly have a negative view of it, seeing it as a "waste of time." But for many of those going, it's a great opportunity to socialize, to support one another and to experience a feeling of solidarity... To come together and to exchange thoughts, feelings and ideas. Who knows where it could lead to, and what the benefits will be from this gathering?

Furthermore, it's only a couple of hours. There's no need to judge them so harshly and assume that they don't already make positive contributions to society. Not everyone is interested in or cares about the exact same things, and that is okay. Just because you don't believe in this cause doesn't mean you need to belittle, degrade and act dismissive towards those that do.

It's about raising awareness. Something a charitable person would appreciate.

One honest voice is also louder than a crowd.

Band together. Be a truth seeker. Continue what JA started by standing upto them without hate or violence but awareness and conciousness. That their attempts at distracting us don't work anymore. Give them no choice but to cover it. Good luck!

You mean we should all run from crimes we're accused us and hide in another country until the Statute of Limitations has passed?

Well shit, if I'd known that was an option I'd have gone on that fabulous bender years ago.

Talking about not wasting time in a reddit sub...... The absolute madman

To be honest, you sound like a self centered asshole who happened upon doing a little good in the world,and now feel like you can call out others. Why don't you pat yourself on the back a little more you lame-ass. Absolutely no one here gives a fuck what popped into your head when you read the title, and your 'altruistic' pleading ffor others to perform acts of charity is nothing but self-serving narcissism. You have a long way to go before you are able to dole out the kind of effective change you wish to see in the world. And yes, this is important. Finding out if Julian Assange is alive, it even showing that there are folks wondering about him is far more important than scooping ladels of soup for a grungy vet in a soup kitchen

I wouldn't report on 20 protesters either.

We need news coverage from someone here. Streaming live or recording is easier than ever. Get enough people to see it and the news is forced to pick it up at least locally or higher

Someone else can film it and post it here.

that's what they want you to think...

Julian could fake being lured in to the open and assasinated to create an opprotunity to mail himself to equador in a diplomatic pouch.

Maybe you

Why the fuck would MSM cover a dozen or so neckbeards rallying outside an embassy. At any given time in London there's protests going over something, and by OPs own admission, it was cold, windy, rainy, and not that many people there.

Unless it got violent and a commotion started, this is less newsworthy than the crowds that gather on Speakers Corner.

Fill the street, have an extended protest focused around a single decisive and clear message, and maybe you'd get a one-line summary.

I'm not trying to be snarky, but given that nothing has changed with his situation in the last week, there's no news here.

Most people don't.

Thank you MSM!

Fashion sense.

I know the language is an utter mess in places, it was quick notes copy and paste.

Why did she visit the embassy again today is the point though...?

Nah, I dont have any more diapers. Would be too much work

A wee bit of jocularity to ease the tension. I appreciated it.

The comment implies, via the joke's subtext, that identifying agent-provocateurs by their footwear may be a less-than-foolproof system.

Now that you know the purpose of the comment, feel free to reply to it in a more meaningful way. Perhaps you have a counterargument to offer. Perhaps you feel that people wearing work boots are always agent-provocateurs. Perhaps you are aware of a little-known London byelaw, requiring that undercover law enforcement officers wear a particular style of shoe while on the job.

Or perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of an embassy?

Can I do this?

No u

a foolproof masterplan,

baby got purple hair,

baby got a secret lair,

baby got an army there,

i ain't ever seen baby scared.

baby got a nobel prize,

given for the perfect crime,

baby got an alibi,

baby got eight more lives,

baby got a crystal ball,

baby doesn't care at all,

baby's having too much fun,

she's got a shit kickin' mother fuckin' atom bomb

Short & petite female metropolitan police officers dressed as raver girls were making the rounds at various London music festivals too.

Your link isn't working.

I hear Comet Ping Pong Pizza is delicious despite the 'eccentric' staff.
