Says Saudi Arabia is not our friend.

By Senator Rand Paul (Kent.)

WASHINGTON (PNN) - October 16, 2018 - It’s time to rethink Amerika’s relationship with the Saudi Kingdom.

It is no surprise to most Amerikans that we help arm, train, equip, and otherwise prop up the government of Saudi Arabia. The Saudis have long bought and paid for many politicians, and for an image of moderate pro-Amerikanism as part of the face they show the world.

But the face presented simply is not reality. It is time to use our leverage to force change in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. We can start by cutting off our military aid and weapons sales to the kingdom.

ECUADOREAN EMBASSY, England (PNN) - October 15, 2018 - Ecuador has partially restored Julian Assange's communications in their London Embassy after UN officials met with Ecuador's president, Lenin Moreno, on Friday.

His visitor access was also limited to members of his legal team.

"Ecuador has told WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange that it will remove the isolation regime imposed on him following meetings between two senior UN officials and Ecuador’s President Lenin Moreno on Friday," WikiLeaks said in a statement.
