Latin America Revolted like Never Before against the US and its European Allies

The support offered to President Rafael Correa by practically all the Latin American countries – in the face of threats of assault on the diplomatic headquarters of Ecuador in London – is evidence that Latin America is revolting like never before against the United States and its imperial European allies.

Correa’s sovereign decision to grant asylum to the founder of Wikileaks, Julian Assange, and to respond firmly to the continued intimidation of the immediate support that he received from his neighbors, demonstrated that Latin America has definitively decided to leave Washington’s backyard and at the same time energetically retort the danger of the White House on the so-called Old Continent.

The United States and its allies in Europe received a diplomatic slap without precedent and were obligated to retract from venturing into violent aggression against the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.

On Sunday, Asange acknowledged the nations of Latin America for their swift action and support for President Correa that prevented British authorities – on the order expressed of Washington – from using force on the Ecuadorian legislation in order to kidnap him.

Assange added that if the Executive of London did not throw the Vienna Conventions and the international laws overboard, it was because the world was watching, thanks to the opportune denunciations of Latin American countries.

The Australian citizen accused the North American regime as a witch hunter of Wikileaks and called on Barack Obama – the existing occupant of the White House – to respect freedom of expression and not to persecute journalists.

The so-called campaigners of the free press, the United States and Europe, harass Assange about revealing confidential information to the media – information that implies empires of aggression and subversive action against the Third World nations.

The determination of the Ecuadorian president to grant asylum to the creator of Wikileaks has some very worried – especially Washington – about the possible secret information that is left in the possession of the Australian and could be revealed to the public.

Although the UK does not discard the idea of capturing Assange, a possible assault on the diplomatic headquarters of Ecuador might have stakeholders thinking twice about such a move, as Latin America’s reaction could include closing the North American and London embassies.

Washington, although stubborn as usual, should understand that times have changed – Latin American power will prevail today in the defense of independence and sovereignty and will continue regional integration contrary to the historical dominance of Uncle Sam.
