WikiLeaks
Have they arrested the wikileaks guy yet? I can't be bothered to google.
|
Under what charges?
|
Communist ideology.
|
He raped a couple girls in Sweden.
|
I thought that was just hearsay.
|
The CIA is back on the job!
|
Might be. But it's formal charges, now.
He was charged with that sex by surprise nonsense earlier - I wonder if these are the same girls from that and they were pressured by the government into charging with rape. |
he was arrested in london, refused bail and he's currently fighting extradition to sweden for sexual molestation charges :(

He definitely didn't rape those girls. That whole affair is just extremely embarrassing for Sweden and our judicial system.
And it's probably just the beginning of all the smear campaigns, setups and dirty business facing Assange. I admire him immensely, and I think if there were more people like him, the world would be a better place. Tear. Edit: Here's the op-ed Assange authored for The Australian yesterday. |

get this- he's not actually being charged with raping those girls, at least not the sort of "rape" we think of. for case one he's being charged with coercion which is considered rape under swedish law. in case two he is being charged with sexual molestation because the condom broke and in sweden unprotected sex = illegal.
so..even if he is guilty all he's done is talk one girl into boning him and had unprotected sex with another? where's finland when you need clarification :( |
Sex by surprise. Yeah, shit's crazy. What's better - http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2010/12/152465.htm
Get a load of this horseshit. |

The whole thing is a bloody disgrace, as usual. I'm looking forward to more leaks of this sort, and hopefully it will start something of a trend in journalism. Assange said that a major US bank is the next target to have it's shit brought out into the public.
WIKILEAKED: US diplomats 'bargained' with Slovenia and Kiribati to take Guantanamo Bay captives in exchange for a visit from Obama (maybe it was Oprah?) or million dollar economic deals. Russian government has ties with organised crime and mafia. US ambassador in Sri Lanka admits that the government has closed all investigations into war crimes against Tamils. US Embassy found Afghanistan's vice president carrying $52 million in cash during a trip to Dubai in 2009. Left well alone. US diplomats in Sth America told to concentrate on isolating and undermining Venezuela. Other left wing governments targeted for 'information collection'. US ambassador to Honduras describes violent military coup there to be "clearly illegal" and "illegitimate". Left well alone. Israel, Saudi Arabia and Jordan pressure US to attack Iran. Saudi nationals biggest donors to Al-Qaeda. Left well alone. Israel and US chats about preemptive strikes on Iran; what to do, what not to do. |

I got news for you, there are more people in te world like him, people who have no respect for privacy rights, people who are at their heart anarchists, and they are stealing identities right and left. Maybe if you were a victim of these people, or had any empathy whatsoever for those who have been, your viewpoint would be different. These sorts of people are leeches and have no value to society, they are not heroes, they are criminals. Of course there will be a smear campaign against him, and he will be fought by any means necessary. He has already proven he cannot be trusted. This isn't the first time someone dangerous has been stopped by alternate means. Al Capone was a horrible man who dodged justice as well. In the end they could not pin the crimes he was responsible for on him, so they stopped him by getting him for tax evasion. |

"Lives are at stake" is something that I have heard several times on the news; but I haven't heard how they are a stake, whose lives and why. Weigh it up: which is more likely, that your government doesn't want people knowing about human rights abuses and shady political bullshit.... or that they are concerned people will get hurt as a result of people finding out about Israel bombing people with phosphorus artillery....? It's not terrorism to break the news to the world that there is sort of shit going on. Don't shoot the messenger. Oh, and I've read nothing about him that would suggest he is an anarchist. If he was then I would have more respect for him than now. Quote:
I think Assange was charged with some cyber hacking in his yoof, which you may be referring to, but that's not what he is doing now. He's not hacking government websites to steal info, he is offering a medium for whistle-blowers to get their stuff out there. Isn't some US private still being held in prison without trial over being a whistle-blower on Abu-Gahrib prisoner abuses, or something along those lines? You punish the person that speaks up about abuse and torture, but not the torturers. Nice. Quote:

Am I the only one who thinks of Bond villains every time I look at that guy? Something about him just screams Bond villain.

I thought those guys lived in hollowed-out secret volcano lairs, not couch-surfing in Europe.
Pentagarn, are you trolling? Goddamn. Anarchy != chaos, go to college and/or wikipedia to learn things I thought the "lives at stake" thing sprung from how he released a billion thousand Afghanistan Black Ops dox, which terrorists could peruse at their leisure for info on how the military works, and find weaknesses to exploit. To someone who's only been arsed to read about ten of the leaked documents, this sounds credible, I guess? What I saw was more like police reports than disclosure of vital combat stratagems. Like, "We recieved tips that these guys were cultivating poppies to pay for terroristy shit, so we went and checked them out. They had a shit ton of opium, so we took them into custody." Of course, with the new stuff, it's like America's diary has been photocopied and mailed to everyone else at school, and we've done nothing in it but talk shit about everyone while also making plans to exploit them for fun and profit. Anyone with enough balls to release something like that has my vote, because that is hilarious. |

For one, I'd like to see a few more leaks targeting, for example, secret documents out of Beijing, Moscow, or - dare I say it - al-Qaeda. But I realize it's more cachet to embarrass the "ugly Americans".
Kit - he's no Blofeld, but I definitely see the connection. |
You wouldn't get leaks out of Beijing or Moscow because anyone like Pfc. Bradley Manning who did something like that in those places would suddenly disappear. :x
|
I thought some of what they released was from Moscow. Didnt they link Putin to knowledge of the Litvinenko murder?
|
I'M SHOCKED THAT THE U.S. ACTS IN SUCH A WAY!
Also I think every country knows the U.S. is doing all this. What shocks me is that any country would be all NO WE WOULD NEVER ACT LIKE THAT IF WE WERE GIVEN THE CHANCE. |
