WikiLeaks founder told by Ecuadorian embassy to respect rules or lose diplomatic asylum<snip>
"Ecuador has laid out a stringent new set of house rules for Julian Assange, warning the whistleblower to avoid online comments about political issues and ordering him to clean his bathroom and take better care of his cat, or risk losing his pet.
Assange, who has been living in Ecuadors UK embassy since June 2012, must obtain approval for all visitors from diplomatic staff three days in advance. He is expressly banned from activities which could be considered as political or interfering with the internal affairs of other states, according to the memo seen by the Guardian."
<snip>
"Assange was told to take charge of the well-being, food, hygiene and proper care of his pet cat, in the memo written in Spanish and first published on the Ecuadorian Código Vidrio website.
It warned that if the WikiLeaks founder did not take care of the pet, it would be given to someone else or handed in to an animal refuge."

(297,415 posts)2. he has a cat and he needs to be told by
Ecuadorian Embassy to take better care of it? How many jobs does he have besides cleaning his bathroom?
Leaking asshole got leaked..
(Julian Assange, the head of WikiLeaks, has denied working with the Russian government, but he manifestly despises Clinton, and, in a leaked Twitter direct message, he said that in the 2016 election it would be much better for GOP to win.)

(58,785 posts)3. Boy, that poor cat. I've always thought there was
likely something wrong with him beyond his politics, the kinds of dysfunction so often found with these people when you get a look past what they put together for the cameras into their lives.
