Secretary of State John Kerry Demanded Julian Assange’s Internet Be Cut Off
Our belief that it was US pressure behind the cutoff has turned out to be true; and it is our further belief that this had nothing to do with the alleged “sensitive negotiations” in Colombia — and everything to do with protecting the War Hag from further exposure of her crimes.

Wikileaks tweeted the development on Tuesday.
McClatchy reported:
Wikileaks said Tuesday that Secretary of State John Kerry asked Ecuador to stop WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, from publishing leaked emails that could disrupt peace negotiations with a guerrilla group in Colombia.
Assange, who has been in refuge in Ecuador’s embassy in London for more than four years, saw his access to the internet cut over the weekend.

WikiLeaks blamed the U.S. government, saying Secretary of State John Kerry had requested the move.
“The John Kerry private meeting with Ecuador was made on the sidelines of the negotiations which took place pricipally on Sep 26 in Colombia,” WikiLeaks tweeted. But the State Department rejected the allegation.
“While our concerns about WikiLeaks are longstanding, any suggestion that Secretary Kerry or the State Department were involved in shutting down WikiLeaks is false. Reports that Secretary Kerry had conversations with Ecuadorian officials about this are simply untrue. Period,” spokesman John Kirby said in a statement.
The John Kerry private meeting with Ecuador was made on the sidelines of the negotiations which took place principally on Sep 26 in Colombia.
