Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is currently en route to Australia after boarding a charter flight 5 pm UK time Monday, having finally been granted bail after spending five years in a Belmarsh prison.
Prior to that, Assange spent several years taking refuge in Ecuador’s embassy in London, after seeking asylum to avoid being extradited to Sweden on a rape allegation, to which he has always denied. Initially granted asylum by then president, Rafael Correa, Assange’s asylum then came to an abrupt end in 2017, when the preceding president, Lenín Moreno, reached his limit with Assange’s “discourteous and aggressive behaviour.
During his stay in London, Assange is alleged to have both owned a cat and had access to the internet, which he used to watch ‘a lot of television’ – with HBO’s flagship fantasy and boobies show, Game of Thrones, being his alleged favourite.
However, Assange was jailed just as the last episode premiered, leaving him completely unaware of the fate of Winterfell after all this time.
Procuring a live stream voice recording of his flight from a source we can’t reveal, The Advocate has learned that Assange is also very, very disappointed in the season finale.

JA: “Really, BRAN!?”
[Unknown voice] “Yeah, I know right.”
JA: “But he did fuck all, right? Am I remembering that correctly?”
[Unknown voice] “Yeah mate, we were all pretty mad about it.”
JA: And he knows the future, so he kind of orchestrated all of it?”
[Unknown] “Yeah.”
JA: “So Tyrion’s whole speech about how the king should ‘be someone who doesn’t want power’ doesn’t really make sense, because Bran could have been pulling the strings the entire time?”
[Unknown] “Aha.”
JA: “Well that’s disappointing..”

JA: “I might get cracking on this new Sex and The City then. Love me some Samantha Jones.”
More to come.
