Thanks Assange -
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange confirmed Friday that his internet access at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London has been restored.
Speaking with Repubblica.it, Assange revealed new details on his current situation as well as the state of WikiLeaks.
“The internet has been returned,” Assange said.
Assange’s internet was “intentionally severed” on October 17 by the Ecuadorian government amid the publication of thousands of emails from Clinton Campaign Chairman John Podesta.
We can confirm Ecuador cut off Assange's internet access Saturday, 5pm GMT, shortly after publication of Clinton's Goldman Sachs speechs.
WikiLeaks accused US Secretary of State John Kerry of pressuring Ecuador to derail their publishing schedule during September’s FARC peace negotiations in Colombia.

The Ecuadorian government confirmed the following day that it had cut Assange’s internet over fears it would be seen as aiding WikiLeaks’ influence on the US election.

During the interview Assange also commented on Hillary Clinton’s presidential loss and Donald Trump’s burgeoning administration.
“Hillary Clinton’s election would have been a consolidation of power in the existing ruling class of the United States,” Assange said. “Donald Trump is not a DC insider, he is part of the wealthy ruling elite of the United States, and he is gathering around him a spectrum of other rich people and several idiosyncratic personalities.”
“They do not by themselves form an existing structure, so it is a weak structure which is displacing and destabilizing the pre-existing central power network within DC. It is a new patronage structure which will evolve rapidly, but at the moment its looseness means there are opportunities for change in the United States: change for the worse and change for the better.”
Looking back on 10 years of publishing, Assange highlighted WikiLeaks’ ability to shed light on what he called the establishment’s “illusion of power.”
“Power is mostly the illusion of power. The Pentagon demanded we destroy our publications. We kept publishing,” Assange said. “Clinton denounced us and said we were an attack on the entire ‘international community.’ We kept publishing.”
“I was put in prison and under house arrest. We kept publishing. We went head to head with the NSA getting Edward Snowden out of Hong Kong, we won and got him asylum. Clinton tried to destroy us and was herself destroyed. Elephants, it seems, can be brought down with string. Perhaps there are no elephants”.

so k marx was something like fat papa the pope who lives behind a wall in the vatican with the best chefs in Rome and proclaims himself the Boss of bosses and everything he says is the gospel truth?
marxist 'theory' that's a hoot-communual living/sharing responsibilities together etc.(like an ashram) versus using marxist 'theory' to run a competitive business that require many hours and efficiency-if you read the restaurant article you would have seen that people were waiting 40 minutes for a grilled cheese ha ha
marxist 'theory' written by a guy-k marx-in a london flat, that tiny little book and other non sense-that engels paid for .engels received a check from his father every month-engels' family owned a prosperous capitalistc company-and marx didn't work becuase he too was from an upper class family who's own wealth had dwindled and in the elite classes you don't 'work' only the peasants worked-what a hoot an obsolete 'theory' that has been used to brow beat earners and grab money. taxes, businesses thta all fail because of political coorectness-ha ha
let;s just call the nwo 'progressives' which is another hoot of a name
