He looks much older now. He has aged terribly.  Assange was being forced out of the Ecuadorian Embassy and put in a van and taken to England to a prison to await extradition to the USA. 

Excerpt From the Independent Newspaper: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/julian-assange-arrest-ecuador-embassy-police-wikileaks-latest-a8864791.html

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is facing extradition to the US after being arrested by British police and forcibly removed from the Ecuadorian embassy in London.


From the Guardian Newspaper:
Julian Assange removed from Ecuadorian Embassy in London - video

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/video/2019/apr/11/julian-assange-removed-from-ecuadorian-embassy-in-london-video
In a statement the Metropolitan police said: 'The MPS had a duty to execute the warrant, on behalf of Westminster magistrates court, and was invited into the embassy by the ambassador, following the Ecuadorian government’s withdrawal of asylum.

This is a link to all of the Wikileaks Files that got Julian into so much trouble.. it was shared on Facebook so I am just continuing the sharing of these because the entire world should know what is going on with this instead of being told lies.

WIKILEAKS FILES

For Example:  This is the Australian Defence Planning Manuel

https://file.wikileaks.org/file/aus-io-panning-manual-2001.pdf

Introduction: Introduction 1.1 Information underpins all operational and management functions, and capabilities within the defence organisations. It is a fundamental resource critical in commander’s decision-making processes. Increasingly military decision-making is becoming dependent on information systems (IS) 1 for moving, sorting, manipulating and exploiting available information. With the spread of communication systems, information is also attaining a national and global dimension. Exploitation of this dependence on information as a critical component of commander’s decision-making processes is achieved through a concept called ‘Information Operations’ (IO).

There are many documents in the Wikileaks file list... Some don't open and some do

Syria and those White Helmets.

The worlds media is staged.  Nothing they print or say can be trusted!  In fact its clear we have not been able to trust them ever it seems in hindsight.

THE WHITE HELMETS of the US and UK is who is responsible for chemical weapons not Assad. The various countries involved in this mess want you o believe that Assad did this. He did not do this.  People there on the ground know the truth about this set up.  Lots of children were stolen a few days before the said attack happened. Where did the children go to?  Dead children were kept from parents and were unable to be prepared for burial.

The worlds leaders are naught but filthy lowlife liars as this all unfolds in a march to war in the Middle East.  There is some evidence of  the white helmets using children, drugging children and pre-burying anesthetized children and used as a staged rescue mission from chemical weapons.

Please do not forget 2015 and the staged events under the Obama administration and let us not forget the 'Weapons of Mass Destruction'  that were never found in Iraq. 

The common denominator is Oil and Gas reserves that are on the homelands of these continually  oppressed people.

Check out Chatham House (think tanks)  Britain is a lawless state attacking another nation state.
Brooks Newmark conducted policy with General Idris.  Why is he so unwell now?  BBC is uncouth advertising itself as a victim.  They are no victim - they are up there with the organizers of doom.

SYRIA: New Details Emerge White Helmets Staging Alleged ‘Chemical Attack’

Watch 21 Wire TV video...... Listen as the UK Column hosts Brian Gerrish and Mike Robinson are joined on the ground in Damascus by 21WIRE associate editor Vanessa Beeley, along with Alex Thomson uncovering more explosive information which begins to dismantle the West's shaky narrative for war against Syria and Russia.

Sacrifice Day - ANZAC 2016

Our Wreath

I am a Wonnarua woman born on Geyan land. I live and stand proud at Talgumbuun / Deepwater NSW on Ngarabul lands with their permission. 

Today we talk about my Father who was a sailor in the Royal Navy.  After all it is ANZAC Day again in 2016.   My Dad, William Henry Peters was a Gunner on the ship HMAS Arunta.  When I visited my Daddy he used to tell me stories about how it was absolutely frightening when there were bombs  dropping all around him while he was afloat on the ocean.  My father saw active duty in Korea. 

He used to say to me that if any ever tells you they were not scared, they are liars because we were all terrified.  I am glad he survived that war.  If he hadn't he would not have created me.  I was born approximately eleven years after he returned from the war.

Billy Peters

I am proud of my father because the war wasn't where it stopped. His struggles multiplied.   He lost the use of his legs just weeks before I was born and then he was a paraplegic.   He left this world at the age of 47.  I was 12 years old and I was in shock and I am quite certain I still am. 

One thing after another ..  I remember the fact he survived the war part today.  I celebrate the fact that his ship was named after a proud people of the Northern Territory.  I know a few of those people from up there.  Vince Forrester is a Luritja / Arrernte man, he is my friend and spirit brother.

More importantly, today I laid a wreath in what has become known as the classic three colours of the 1970's Aboriginal flag to honour those who lost their lives in the war on home soil (to use a war term). 

This is an ongoing war, now known as the Frontier Wars because it has been fought all over this land.  Today solemn and reflective, I proudly honoured the ancestors in front of a very unsuspecting crowd of people. 

It would be wonderful if this could happen everywhere across the various Anzac ceremonies, otherwise ANZAC Day is a joke.

Queen Boudicca - The courageous warrior queen who fought for freedom from oppression, for herself, and all Celtic tribes.

QUEEN of the ICENI TRIBE
"I am descended from mighty men! But I am not fighting for my kingdom and wealth now. I am fighting as an ordinary person, for my lost freedom, my bruised body and my outraged daughters ....consider how many you are fighting . . .and why!  The you will win this battle, or perish.   That is what I, a woman plan to do! - Let the men live in slavery if they will."

Let the religiturds,  all the ones who love their pig, live in slavery for all time and perish accordingly. Gaze upon those you think are the cavalry, and know --- they are your beloved controlled opposition.   The very ones who aid are your real enemy!  If I said nothing I would be as they are, a cog in the wheel of the most determined enemy!
Choose wisely..  see things for what they really are not what you want them to be. This is the secret.

I will not go quietly.  I will not go along with what I know is wrong.

Its not quite Queen Boudicca, and I don't have a very sharp steel sword in my right hand.  What I do have is a sharp pen in my right hand and I use the principal that the pen is mightier than the sword. 

I write about the truth as much as I can.  I would love this to be my legacy.  I would posthumously love it if my daughters read the wisdom I have chronicled here on the pages from On the Hill.  Wouldn't that be special if they read this and thought - she did know what she was talking about, perhaps we could have tried to listen.

This Piscerian age has been an age of War and warring.  It is nearly over.  At the end of this year we swing into an totally new age.  The age of Aquarius will finally be here and the warring age of Pisces will finally be over.  However it does not seem to want to go without a fight, excuse the pun there.  Syria has now announced it is in full civil war again.  This is daunting.  The Zionism and the fight over installing extreme Islam is the reason for this.

Hillary Rodham Clinton (Wellesley College) (Photo credit: Wikipedia) Hillary Clinton said the Russian move - sending helicopters to Syria - would escalate the conflict in Syria dramatically. She said the US had confronted Russia about its arms shipment to Syria but Moscow insisted that the arms were not being used internally against people.  But can you trust Hillary Clinton or the USA government?

 You can bet you're last rarzoo that the USA is concerned because Syria won't compete with their money handouts and because there is oil there.  I do not want to hear of more war.

Our children have had enough and so have all of the children of the world.  I think the children of the world should unite to fight against WAR ever being a possibility.  I vote for children to take us out of this mess.  I vote we think out of the box.  Children have no concept of war when they are born.  This is the most outrageous thing to keep inflicting upon innocent people who cannot defend themselves.

It is Wednesday here and I hope that we can change the united consciousness of this planet to a place of peace.  I will continue to go before the sun with an expectant heart in the mornings and bring my plea to the ancestral beings high up and hope they here my hearts call.

When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.

This  morning, a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse occurs. Lunar Eclipses are about relationships and polarities. With the Gemini-Sagittarius axis involved, this Lunar Eclipse presses us to look more closely at our needs, lacks, and wants in our lives concerning the balance between Gemini-ruled and Sagittarius ruled areas of life.
It occurred to me that it is paramount to stop these wars.  War is so childish and immature.   People are so brutal to each other.   I just don't understand the anomaly of not bullying at school but it is alright for our so called leaders to participate in bully activities in front of us and our children.

Sometimes you gotta live like and Indian but at other times you have to fight like a palestinian!

These are very true words... and words of the Luminaries.

Those words reminded me of a biblical story when Jesus was full of righteous anger and he overturned the money changers tables in the temples at Jerusalem.  Apparently, that was cool.

Well these days we are to be meek and mild like sheep but somehow we have to be tough and clever and sneaky to survive this strange world we live in.  Yesterday I heard of a man hurting a woman who was shopping and putting her groceries into her car and the man used a knife and stole her groceries!

I don't know what I would do now given the laws here in this country and if I was faced  with this situation!  The police and courts of Australia are locking up people who defend themselves against this kind of unsolicited violence and the true attackers are getting away with it.  If someone attacked me like this and I could get the knife off them, then I would definatley  use it on them if I could.  However it is deemed that you are then attacking and soyour jailed for this instead of your attacker! HUH can someone tell me what is wrong here! This cannot go on in our country.  How can we defend ourselves? 

This traumatizes me no end because I do not feel safe now that I know I cannot physically protect myself legally!  I have to let them stab me or I may go to jail if someone is hurt during my protecting myself.

The world is an awfully mixed up and severely confused place within which  we live  today.  Occupy movements have sprung up all over the planet.  GOOD ... we need to stand together against all of the government greed and ridiculousness of society  and the attitudes of the leaders of the world in general.  Who is behind this?    Who is pushing for life to be this way?  Not me.  I cannot understand what is happening anymore!  I know I am suffereing and so are my children and the families who come along now are going to be serious HAVES and HAVE NOTS!

Nothing More desperate than a desperate politician - GERALD CELENTE

Each day I wake very early and with an increasing sense of doom . I have become concerned about the state of the world and the trouble brewing within the governments of our planet. The greed and the rampant consumerism is rife.  I am weary of being dictated to.  I want to take back the power into my own hands and be responsible more for myself and not live by government stipulations about seeds and food and eating.  It is the eating that has made everyone sick.  Why would I want to take their poison.  I don't.

Local trading must get back on the agenda and we need to have sovereignty over our food in our own shires, areas etc etc. That would mean we could purchase foods ie. Vegetables cheeses Milk and meats etc etc from local farmers at the gate.   We would do this with common sense and at our own risk.  You for example would not purchase milk from a filthy dairy.  Your own common sense will be necessary to look out for your own health etc.  You take back the responsibility to think again for yourself. 

Word of mouth is powerful advertising. With the aid of social media this is a time like no other and a WINDOW like no other to take back the power from these power hungry soldiers in the HUMAN GROCERY STORE ( Guns and Roses lyric).. Computer usage is increasing our brain power, our grey matter is growing and isn't it curious that all computers were grey when they started.  To me it was like a silent symbol of where we were going with this.

We need to stop importing the gigantic amount of junk from overseas at cheap prices. It is junk.  Why spend your hard earned on junk?  Everyone does better if we trade locally in our own country!  We need to STOP.  Otherwise the manufacturing and retail industries are going to lose more jobs.  We have to stop looking at the bottom line and start looking back at what is good for us as the nation we live in.   For myself I should buy real Gold and hang onto the gold I already have.  Including my ex's wedding ring he gave me back. ( he now wants back again)   Gold may come in handy in this upcoming depression that will inevitably happen and its happening fast.  Growing your own food in some capacity, either in a co op or in your back yard or balcony.  Growing anything that will help you survive will be an advantage.

The photographic image above to me represents the empty street where no one buying anything in the retail outlets. Why?   Because we just cannot do it anymore!

Please watch the Gerald Celente interview with Australia's own ABC interview with him recently this week.

Understanding how this all has occurred one must understand how the agenda's  of governments and greedy capitalist nations.   Please watch the following video regarding chem trail's and globalization etc etc etc and the horrible results from thereof.  If you think this stuff isn't real.  You are in for a shock aren't you.

On a slightly and I mean only slightly I would love it if you also then watched 4o years of history .. a song to make you think and so much more has happened since  then.

LAW BREAKERS.. Late Wakers.. NO just Japanese Wankers.. COME ON JULIA - Relese the Hounds!

Early this morning the Japanese harpoon ship Yushin Maru III was holding fast in Australia’s World Heritage Area and territorial waters off Macquarie Island.  This is despite a call from Australia to have the ship exit our territory.

The ship is breaking Australian law which prohibits the entry of such vessels into our exclusive economic zone as well as territorial waters.
“At this stage a naval vessel should be dispatched to the Macquarie Island World Heritage Area to assert Australian law,” Senator Brown said.

Sergeant Matthew Locke- Killed in action on October 25, 2007 - aged 33 - The War is over for some..

The convoy’s departure came three days after the American military folded its flag in a ceremony to celebrate the end of its mission and marked the end of the nearly nine year war.    

The war launched in March 2003 with missiles striking Baghdad to oust President Saddam Hussein.. and then the the American military slipped out of the country last week, the world hardly noticed at all.

Sergeant Matthew Locke- Killed in action on October 25, 2007 - aged 33

He was a Special Air Service Regiment, the 3rd Australian soldier killed in Afghanistan.

He was also killed by Taliban fighters in Oruzgan Province.

 On 25 October 2007, Locke, who was serving a second tour of duty in Afghanistan, was engaged in a firefight with members of the Taliban militia, when he was injured in the chest by small arms fire. Other soldiers in his unit provided first-aid care prior to and during evacuation to a medical facility, where he died a short time later. Gurkha Lance Corporal Agnish Thapa, serving in the 1st Royal Gurkha Rifles, British Army was awarded the Military Cross for running 100 metres (110 yd) through enemy machine gun and RPG fire and extracted Locke by physically dragging him back to cover. Locke was killed while serving in Orūzgān Province. During his first tour of duty, Locke had been awarded the Medal for Gallantry.
