An aboriginal passport won't void this Interpol arrest warrant.

It may not help him deal with British police, but WikiLeaks editor Julian Assange will soon have an aboriginal passport.

According to a joint news release issued today by the Indigenous Social Justice Association, the WikiLeaks Coalition, and the Australia-based Support Assange group, the whistle-blower's father, John Shipton, will accept an "Aboriginal Land Passport" at a ceremony on Saturday (September 15).

"The Passports are for use by Non-Aboriginal people only and can only be used to travel through the Aboriginal Nations," the groups stated. "This does not apply to Aborigines as we have our own cultural methods of travelling through Country."

The groups have called on the Australian government to negotiate with the U.K. to arrange for Assange's passage to Ecuador, where he has been granted asylum.

Assange remains in Ecuador's London embassy as Sweden continues to seek his extradition to answer questions concerning a rape investigation.

He is not only being framed by powerful ignorant and greed interests , but also by greedy and ignorant average citizen who feel sound bites , infotainment and self righteous indignation is a true source of informed thinking . There is such a lack of empirical skills in our extreme theistic society anything that give an individual power and righteous indignation is seen to be truth , this is the biggest lie of all .

This will not be resolved until after the US elections.

The Aboriginals know what time it is. Assange is a hero for freedom of speech. KiDDAA also was slapped in the face by BC Supreme Court re-Erwin Singh Braich started by KPMG. Media truth like Wikepedia is a dangerous game in this day and age. They lie, people go to war based on lies like Iraq. Now they are trying a rerun on Iran. Assange wanted freedom of the press. Its doubtful that he wont be prosecuted by the Yanks. The First Nations people are good for giving him this. It is more than honorary. An eagle has no border.

If the US wanted Mr. Assange you can rest assure that they will get him. Just like they did with Osama Bin Laden. Mr. Assange is scared of his own shadow and should just turn himself in to the Swedish authority and face those charges like a man!

Assange should have been content leaking secret military documents and information on right wing politicians.
Decided to tangle with the climate change religion and expose its corruption.
Very foolish, he didnt get that those you can not question are your true masters. Still must admire him, a very brave patriot he is.
