Thread: Julian Assange - Almost Locked Up.

    Default Julian Assange - Almost Locked Up.

    Time is ticking away for Julian Assange and he only has a few days of freedom left before he is sent to Sweden to face trial for two alleged sex assaults. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18261670
    And when Sweden is done with him, it looks like he will get a free one-way ticket to the USA, with all accomodation provided for at least a decade, probably more.

    Love him or hate him, JA has the courage of his convictions and has made the world a more open place. He has conceded that his future is looking bleak. An interesting article from the Rolling Stone earlier this year: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics...rview-20120118

    Assange is soon to discover, as Bobby Fisher did, that Uncle Sam is not kind to people who question the status quo. Whilst Fisher was borderline schizophrenic, Assange cannot claim that defence. Serious jail time awaits him and the world will be poorer for it. There is nowhere to hide. The smartest thing he can do now is to skip bail and flee to Russia or to some other country that will not extradite him.

    His debut on Russia TV here: http://www.rt.com/news/wikileaks-rev...nge-interview/

    Run Julian Run!

    Doesn't he have some very nasty poison pills set up for these contingencies? Seriously, all things considered if I was in his position I would be holding back something impeachable, something that would incriminate Obama and his cabinet in something really damning.

    Uncle Sam's justice........

    Another whistleblower, Chris Boyce, served 24 years of a 40 year jail sentence before being released. Two years into his sentence Boyce broke out of jail. He started to rob banks and took flying lessons with a view to escaping to the USSR. A fascinating story: http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/t...yce_lee/1.html

    Some say Boyce was a KGB agent. The same cannot be said of JA who is nothing more than an idealist. I'm guessing he will get a 30 year sentence. Which will make him 70 when he is released.

    Run Julian Run!

    Actually he does. There is a password protected file on the Internet. If he goes to jail the password will be made public. I ave the file btw. Maybe I should start making some copies just in case. Hehe

    If this was the one with all the Bank of America documents, rumor had it that the password was "lost".

    Also, Assange is no hero; he wasn't trying to make the world more "open", he was pushing his own agenda, which was to damage the U.S. as much as possible. At least one of the videos he "leaked" was edited to remove the context of why those poor helpless nice guys (who were jihadists) were being shot at.

    There is no doubt that he has anti-American tendencies and opinions that are clearly left of centre. But throwing him in the slammer with no possibility of parole for 30 years does seem extreme.

    Federal prisoners do not get parole, the law was changed in 1987. They serve their entire sentences.

    Surely he is no more a criminal than President WMD Bush?

    Fabulous!

    If I never see another uncomfortable mumbled interview with some journalist telling him he is a "hero" - I shall be happy.

    I would be very uncomfortable were he transported to the US (how can a foreigner be treasonous???), but he should certainly face the music in Sweden.

    Leaking secret information is childish, but hardly illegal (the secretives shouldn't be letting out their secrets, non!?). Rape is no laughing matter.

    Unless somebody is threatening RainbooTokyo with the barbed broomstick.........................

    At the very least, he sounds about as sympathetic a character as that fat fascist Paul Watson, of WhalesRUs.

    You attempt to appear noble fails badly Ronnie. Everyone here remembers your nasty remarks on this forum about wanting to rape babies, and what about that time you spoke of wanting to boink pre-pubescent girls? You may have forgotten that. And the mods may even delete this post on your request. But the truth remains.

    And now veiled remarks about wanting to sodomize me. You are a class act old boy.

    Maybe you should get a good decryption program and put the files out there yourself.

    I really love your kneejerk reaction to Kurogane. It makes you sound just like the postman.

    And, according to Japanese law his sodomizing you is entirely legal. The boinking prepubescent girls in return paying them large sums of money and the raping babies is sometimes frowned upon by the authorities but that's as far as it goes. Those problems are usually solved by throwing large sums of money at them. You should try it sometime.

    Yeah, but the really funny part is that he's a known Paedo.

    Normally, no.

    What he's being charged with would not be called rape in Japan, in your country (Canada), my country (Britain), or Assange's country (Australia), or in many others.. I appreciate that in Sweden the law is different, but still. He may not have studied it before he went there.

    Additionally, it'll be impossible to prove satisfactorily (that's not to say that he won't be found guilty) even under Swedish law, because it'll just be the word of two people against Assange. This was not a f.uck-and-run.

    If there's a lesson here, it's don't go anywhere near Swedish women, though under Swedish law, that too may be classified as rape.

    There is a lot of things you reveal with this statement. One of the many obvious ones is that you pay tribute to the culture and background you come from (NA) where any male who lusts after ama female three or more years his junior is labeled a Paedo. Thats just the way it is. Therefore all males of any age who have the means and wherewithall to take care of a female 20 or even 30 years his junior MUST be labeled a Paedo.

    You of all people with your Anthropological PhD. wannabe background should know better. The male and female are different and it is natural that males desire to mate with females of more probable fertility vs those of less fertility. Its in the DNA of males and even females of all species. Only in the West do males subjigate their natural desires for the socialy acceptable YOU MUST DESIRE FEMALES OF YOUR OWN AGE GROUP propaganda or you will be castrated.

    The Phillipines will always be a safe haven for frustrated older males from first and second world countries not willing to give up on their basic human right to be sexually active at any age. A slap in the face of the grandma's who have nothing to offer. Just ask Ed.

    The only thing in Japan that is harder than being a foreigner in Japan, is being Japanese in Japan.

    You are right. I should have said 'as long as they are desperately poor, the females of the Phils will be a safe haven for frustrated males from any country AS LONG AS THEY HAVE THE MOOLA.

    Actually that applies to males and females anywhere.

    All of the above, and it looks like another relative "Newbie" has added himself to the list:

    Guyjeen is a Paedo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Guyjeen is a Paedo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Guyjeen is a Paedo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





    Not to mention he has the reading skills and intelligence of a Special Olympics waterboy.

    I was doing that to incite RainbummerTokyo, not suggest it seriously, you earnest alias dolt.

    Are they different from regular waterboys?? Huh.

    Speaking of Special Olympics, couldn't they just combine it with the Paralympics so that I can not watch both at the same time?
    Timing has an awful lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance.

    lost credibility when you mention the Philippines.


    there are other SE Asian countries where its far far more prevalent.


    the claim of rape is absolutely bloody rediculous if you read the reports of what went on.

    what a slapper - she should get locked up for wasting courts time and defamation

    i read all the reports and for the life of me cant work out what hes supposed to have done wrong....

    is not wanting to wear a condom rape now? she could have said no (just a crazy idea she is an adult)

    is it that she woke (in bed with the guy shes been shagging) to find him shagging her? if so why didnt she continue screwing him after she woke?

    thats all f_cked up, _____ should fry!
