Holy coincidence batman! Interpol warrat issued for Assange

[Hayabusa Rider]

Release documents, get a warrant for rape. They don't even try to make it look reasonable.

 

[CanOWorms]

I don't think that reasonable is the word to describe European justice.

 

[Throckmorton]

There's nothing reasonable about Julian Assange.

 

[NoStateofMind]

Link? Don't doubt its true though.

Funny how its the end of the world when it comes to government privacy but everything is fine when snooping on millions of Americans.

WikiLeaks founder Assange suspected of sex crimes

Interpol has issued an international warrant at the request of a Swedish court for the arrest of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in connection with alleged sex crimes.

The Stockholm Criminal Court last week issued an international arrest warrant for Assange on probable cause, saying he is suspected of rape, sexual molestation and illegal use of force. Sweden asked Interpol to post a "Red Notice" after a judge approved a motion to bring him into custody.

The arrest warrant stems from allegations made against Assange, who is Australian, in August. In a November, Assange's lawyer said the sex-crime charges stem from consensual sexual relationships his client had with two women.

This reeks of the kind of thing that happens when you make powerful enemies. I don't know if he's guilty of anything or not, but it sure seems like a very convenient trumped up set of charges.

 

[Argo]

Or maybe, just maybe he did rape somebody?

 

[sunzt]

Or maybe, just maybe he did rape somebody?

Doubt it. One of the women first said it was consensual and then met with the other and now they both say it's rape. It's likely they are being paid, threatened, or one of them is an agent.

Some animals are more equal than others. Didn't you get that memo? I'll go ahead and send you another copy before one of the more equal animals sends you to the knackers.

Huh? He seems quite reasonable.

 

[Lemon law]

Meanwhile, back at the ranch as every government in the world realizes all the anti-espionage laws they have written do not apply to an organization like Wikileaks in any way. Yet no one but no one of these governments with secrets to hide get the bright idea that they need to come together, revise these laws, and make a future wikileaks a clearly illegal organization.

Oh well, its far more easy and politically correct to pretend to lock the barn door after the horses got out. And better yet tee hee hee, they can find out about how rascally other governments are while busily ignoring their government got outed too.

Everyone likes the taste of the sour grapes of wrath.

 

[JSt0rm]

The best thing about the whole ordeal are the neocons who dont trust government are enraged that government secrets are out. lololololol. It just highlights the stupidity in such a large way.

 

[Craig234]

Some people can't keep track that the leaker is sitting in jail, and Wikileaks is the recipient of a leak, who published it - just like the NY Times published the Pentagon Papers. The NY Times didn't go to jail for doing so. If Wikileaks didn't exist, he'd have leaked to someone else.

Early next year, Julian Assange says, a major American bank will suddenly find itself turned inside out. Tens of thousands of its internal documents will be exposed on Wikileaks.org with no polite requests for executives’ response or other forewarnings. The data dump will lay bare the finance firm’s secrets on the Web for every customer, every competitor, every regulator to examine and pass judgment on.

No my friend when a neocon sees "big government tyranny" he see's things like Social Security, improvements in wages and working conditions and education, etc basically working for the people. He as no problem with old fashioned uses of government, prisons, executions, domestic surveillance, and of course war.

 

[101mpg]

So uhh are Obama and Hillary and pretty much every other democrat neocons too? I haven't seen any democrats too happy about this?

You do realize that two of those four things are duties of any government (i.e. enforcing the law and defending the citizenry), right? A bit ridiculous to lump those in, and downright idiotic to say that those are less legitimate concerns than social security. While I agree that the neocons as you describe them are hopeless, foaming at the mouth and losing track of reality is hardly a good way to defeat them.

 

[OBLAMA2009]

so the guy gets laid for 39 years and then, all of the sudden, as soon as he decides to leak top secrets, he starts raping one woman after the other? i wouldnt be surprised if he decides to become a serial killer any day now as well.

how come if you rape women interpol goes after you but if you are a serial killer who starts wars and slaughters hundreds of thousands of people you get a us gov pension and bodyguards for the rest of your life?

 

[JSt0rm]

they will just kill this guy at some point. Watch. Motorcycles and magnetized explosives done. Message sent.

WTF are you talking about?

Zebo didnt list enforcing the law and defending the citizenry. He said prisons, executions, domestic surveillance and war.

Only in your warped little mind do those translate into what you wrote. Are you insane?

i doubt it, governments would never use sex to achieve their goals

Mr. Assange is an enemy of freedom.

Sure all four are necessary sometimes and enumerated powers. My point was neocons never consider how to reduce the need for them. It's always just build more prisons etc. To wit in OT We are having an interesting about school shootings which did not occur in the 1960s and prior while exploding to 10 a year clip in the 1990s despite guys like my dad leaving loaded guns around house, no back ground checks etc back then. Why? What has changed?
