Hi Joe, Foxy (I hope) Arjay and misanthropod

Assange's Life Strategist reveals all:

"Got to an even smaller country and rape..."

See the rest.

Julian is not stoned, often.

Assange is not in detention.

He needs to man up, come out and face
The courts in Sweden.
Given the somewhat ambiguous nature of the charges,
I doubt they'll get a conviction even if it is true.

America grabbing him is the biggest worry from his perspective I suppose.
But given the high profile of his case, every move the Americans
Make in regards to Julian Assange will be headlines around the world,
They may be content to leave him in exile.

He needs to just come out and face it all

Adian. Surely someone as obviously as smart as you hasn't swallowed all that BS, if he went to Sweden he'd be extradited.

Simply put, and given the US and Britain are and have been firm allies for some decades with pretty liberal and cooperative extradition treaties; and given extraditing anyone from Sweden to the US is downright difficult, mainly because they are not allies and have totally different attitudes to capital punishment.

Assange would therefore be far safer in neutral Sweden than in the UK. Assange is a criminal bail jumper who left some trusting friends in the lurch, And hardly the actions of a truly innocent man?

But one of a craven bed wetter unable to lie straight in bed, trying to avoid his day in a Swedish court?

The UN got it wrong! Julian was not taken and held against his will but entered the ecuadorian embassy of his own violation and of his own violation remains there, for one reason and one reason only; to pervert the course of justice!?

A truly innocent man would simply front up, allow some DNA samples to be collected, given they would exonerate a truly innocent man!

But no, this downright disingenuous narcissist comes up with these childish porkies and endless excuses just to try and avoid facing the Swedish justice system!?

As others have noted, had he gone and faced the music, done his time, he'd be out now and virtually free to go where he wanted.

Sunlight?

well he does have access to some rather well lit balconies And or windows which allow full sunlight during sunny days?

Moreover, there are some nice parks where a completely exonerated and not guilty man could go and walk!

No matter how long Assange skulks in the Embassy his eventual handover to the US is a cert.

The media will love it!

Can someone explain why Assange has not been
charged and why Sweden's Chief Prosecutor
has refused to go to London to interview
Assange when she said she would.
Why she does not give Assange's lawyers the full
information as required under Swedish law.
Why all the secrecy?

Hi Foxy, I watched Assange's lawyer being interviewed on TV last night, and it seems that his legal team and the British government aren't so concerned about the rape allegations as they are about the US getting their hands on him.

This lawyer seemed to think there wasn't much of a case for Assange to be charged in the rape case, and that Sweden and Britain are worried about upsetting the US, whereas Ecuador want to annoy the US!

It is all such a mess that has cost the UK millions of dollars for guarding the embassy.
I say just change the laws about being able to hide in embassies and send him to Sweden to face a trial.
With the world's media watching so closely, the US can hardly do much to him now.
