What is it Lear said about the sting of an ungrateful child?
The very liberties which permits dumb clowns on this site to air their ignorant inanities
were won by the courage of misguided Assanges in our history.

How exactly is assange any more guilty then the ny times, the guardian, de speigel?
Indeed all th papers and websites which clamoured over themselves to print mannings revelations.

The posters on this site become increasingly psychotic with each passing day. Someone even had the bright idea to label assange a narcissist! He is a publisher of political secrets. His not a politician, a billionaire, an over paid actor or sportsperson.
Our whole culture is narcissistic - what else are we but self centered diabetic, lazy fat depressed and dumb bored dicks? That is our entire stupid culture. Someone comes along and shows you how screwed up our foreign policy is and we call him narcissistic?
We want to throw awAy our entire judicial system to shut him up so we can go and eat another chocolate bar.

Foxy I am not sure where you got your information but one of Assange's victims is still wanting his charging with rape? I confess I think he really is a little mummy's boy who thinks his charm is overwhelming. Only matched by his solicitors who lurve him lol.
When he ends up in gaol I can imagine the tantrums and tears from his mum and him.
It is all OUR fault of course lol.

From the gormless Foxy on Friday:

"The facts have now emerged:

Both women have finally now admitted that the
sex was consensual. That Julian Assange was framed.
And that in each case the women even let Assange stay
an entire extra week in their homes sleeping with
him without any problems whatsoever.

From The Guardian yesterday:

"Elisabeth Massi Fritz, the lawyer for the Swedish woman whom Assange is accused of raping, said the UN panel had 'a lack of understanding' that rape 'is one of the most serious abuses and violations of human rights'.

"It was 'insulting and offensive', she said, to her client to suggest a rape suspect should be compensated for withholding himself from justice for more than five years."

Apparently one of the victims has a lawyer who doesn't have access to Foxy's up-to-the-minute and highly reliable sources of information.

YEBIGA,

You might be thinking of a different person: Assange hasn't been charged yet with revealing state secrets. But he has been charged with rape, and quite reasonably he should face up to those charges.

As for his narcissism: "Our whole culture is narcissistic - what else are we but self centered diabetic, lazy fat depressed and dumb bored dicks?"

I wouldn't have thought of Assange as fat ? But I'll bet that he's had his fair share of chocolate bars.

Rape is a serious offence. Let him face up to those charges, do his time and fly off to his beloved Ecuador. End of.

The media we rely on
No longer is capable of reporting to us anything resembling the facts
Assange was interviewed regarding the interviews with the young ladies
Those interviews are available on the net
The first prosecutor in Sweden decided he had no case to answer
The Swedish authorities gave him permission to leave the country

The worst he could face is a charge of breaking a condom with one of the girls
And sex whilst they were both asleep with the other
The visit by the women to the police station was not to press charges but to ask whether he assange could be forced to take a venereal disease test.

Both women had slept and had intercourse with assange previously and after the incidents in question.

The very charge of rape - which he is not charged with but only required for questioning is itself an insult to women thru out the world who are victims of rape. The prosecutors handling of the "case" belies her interest in protecting g either the women or the law

There are - for those genuinely interested - emails and tweets which from the women which entirely exonerate assange as they prove that after the incidents both women continue to fawn for his attention.

Now with this UN decision even those who refuse to concede the entirely political nature of this matter cannot avoid the already obvious that Australia, Sweden and the U.K. Are no longer sovereign states but mere vassals of USA hegemony.

That all of these governments have criminally transgressed their own legal systems. At a minimum they could have publicly guaranteed that he would never be transferred to the USA

Hi YEBIGA,

The US hasn't laid charges against Assange yet. So perhaps it's a bit paranoid, certainly premature, to suggest that all those governments are lickspittles of the US.

Speaking of lickspittles, your case for Assange's acquittal is wasted here on OLO. Let him face the charges. End of.

By the way, surely, with all that we have heard during the Royal Commission into Child Abuse, the huge power differential between 'carer/abuser' and child has, again and again, been obvious, and again and again, it has been enough to silence many victims of abuse until they were much older.

So, perhaps, given Assange's high profile at the time of the WikiLeaks releases of state secrets, it's no surprise that the women did not speak out immediately. Remember the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas case of 1991 ? It happens.
