“The Government of Ecuador respects the principle of non-intervention in the internal affairs of other states

It does not interfere in external electoral processes, nor does it favor any particular candidate.”

The actions taken “temporarily restrict access to some of its private communications network within its Embassy in the United Kingdom,” the Ecuadorian government stated, adding, “This temporary restriction does not prevent the WikiLeaks organization from carrying out its journalistic activities.”

“Ecuador’s foreign policy responds to sovereign decisions alone and does not yield to pressure from other states,” the statement concluded.

However it still raises questions about the timing and convenient meeting by John Kerry with Ecuadorian officials recently alleged by Wikileaks.

John Kerry was in Colombia on September 26 to attend the signing of a peace deal between the Colombian government and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), a terrorist group.

The U.S. State Dept denied the allegations saying, “While our concerns about Wikileaks are longstanding any suggestion that Secretary Kerry or the State Department were involved in shutting down Wikileaks is false.” Also adding that the “reports that Secretary Of State John Kerry had a meeting with Ecuadorian Officials about shutting down Assange’s internet were also false” State Dept, spokesperson John Kirby, said.

Immediately following the outage of Assange’s internet in one of the three hash’s that Wikileaks posted included John Kerry’s name. Suggesting that the International whistle-blower organization may have some dirt on the current Secretary of state. Who has recently been bombarded with claims that he took one out of the Clinton handbook and was running pay to play schemes as Secretary Of State funneling money to his daughters charity.

What could Julian Assange and Wikileaks have on Secretary Of State John Kerry what more do they have on Hillary Clinton? Stay tuned to We Are Change where we will cover all this and more as it happens. Assange still has 30,000 some emails to release and he promises that they will all be released before the election on Nov 8th.

The John Kerry private meeting with Ecuador was made on the sidelines of the negotiations which took place pricipally on Sep 26 in Colombia.
