True, I don't say any country is "without sin", but the fact is the US has been choreographing world events since WW2, with Australia as its obsequious mate. The way the Asian century is unravelling, they better both make sure they can dance.
As for "democracy".. It'd be funny if it wasn't such a tired old joke.
I think it's important we all reflect that our governments "represent" us, for my money, faithfully.

Assange wrote this editorial for the Australian hours before his arrest.

it seems clear...the usa didnt like mr rudd
and thanks to treason by mark habribe..got the julia they wanted

this should be a matter of grave concern

it also reveals much of the reasoning..of why julia moved so fast..in getting rid of the issues..pre her rush to election

i note the media complicioty in talking up talking points ..thus avoiding analisis of the infomartion being revealed..there is so much not being talked about...like not using a condom isnt rape..

the links to sweden are also particularilly of concern
this is a neutral party..historiclly..but clearly now has thrown its hand in with the globalists...who didnt want rudd..but did want julia

im writing this on an old computa..because my new lap top was killed for the bad crime of making a donation to wikileaks...its just how the globalist monoploly does its work..[your with them..[like mark hab-bribe..[ie the power brokers..killing the workers..from within]..

or your with the tar-baby

i cant even be botherd to explain that one

ditto i cant be botherd explaining the linkage between a julian
or the joke of a julia

Thanks for the heads-up, Poirot.

It's good to hear it from the horse's mouth,
so to speak. I think Julian Assange is fast
approaching "Aussie hero" status, if the comments
on his article are anything to go by.

A danger with all this stuff, you are believing it all as if it could not be corrupted, It is just more media BS, and has not been scrutinized for its truth.

I’m just throwing the below in here because I don’t understand three points. First was he slept with a feminist, I don’t get what is implied there. And the second is fatherless Aussies grow up here distrusting authority…? Third is what is a “gender lawyer”?

The Daily Mail's fine piece on the allegations claimed Assange slept with a feminist who had lent him her apartment when he was in Stockholm for a seminar.

They reportedly went out for dinner and then home to her flat and had sex, during which a condom broke. They remained on friendly terms, with the woman throwing him a party the next night.

By the following day, however, he had already met another admirer, in the seminar audience, with whom he was "intimate" after lunch.

A couple of days later Assange and his new girl slept together at her house using a condom. The next morning they had sex again, without a condom. She later complained that she was upset about his refusal to wear a condom. Nevertheless they went for breakfast together and he promised to stay in touch.

Then she phoned the woman in whose flat Assange was staying and learned he'd been sleeping with both of them. "The sex had been consensual from the start but had eventually turned into abuse," they told a reporter.

The women went to the police and the media and hired a "gender lawyer" to go after Assange using Sweden's complex sex laws.

His mother Christine, who runs a puppet theatre in Queensland, has denied to The Sunshine Coast Daily that she was ever a hippie. But she brought up her son with a distrust of authority, common to fatherless boys.
