Jewely on 11/11 month WW1 ended in an armistice in 1918.
They hung Ned Kelly on that day.
And in 1975 on that day a GG Governor General removed a PRIME MINISTER
Tipping point?.
Weekend is coming sport cricket test starts today.
New girl Friend/boy Friend have to clean the car politics?
Who cares man what is it any way.
But if tax goes up, lets riot.
See many Aussies know nothing of GG 11/11 and do not wish to.
How its done?
If I can be found, and I was here in OLO by one very bright poster America and every country who wanted too could do it.
TBC as a green you know you would be on file as I am.

Hey Belly, yeah on another very international site I spend a lot of time in chat mode with American and British soldiers sitting in deserts. They talk about the heat, strange bugs, you get a lot of slang for weapons and various things. Mostly in good spirits but at least now stuff has appeared online where they feel they might be believed – people didn’t really believe their stories before. But yep I’ve seen them track someone to their home address and phone number on the other side of the world.

I’ve also seen my computer taken over remotely, sat back and watched the mouse move and it connect to sites in front of me without me touching anything. Anyone really hiding would just do everything through someone elses machine anyway.

So in reality there is no tipping point? We wait for politicians to tell us if something is a big deal?

General opinion out in the world is that we’re all a bit simple down here. Julian is pretty much being portrayed as not your average Aussie bloke. But we weren’t viewed as woosy before and now I see talk from people all over the world who are saying we aren’t even trying to protect one of our own. From the yanks is an emerging opinion that we are all anti-american and taught to be in our schools. Not sure where they are getting it.

Does the below mean it is the British keeping him in jail and nothing to do with the Swedes? But then the Swedes appealed right?

Lawyers for Assange reacted to the news with shock and said CPS officials had told them this week it was Sweden which had asked them to ensure he was kept in prison.

Karin Rosander, director of communications for Sweden's prosecutor's office, told the Guardian: "The decision was made by the British prosecutor. I got it confirmed by the CPS this morning that the decision to appeal the granting of bail was entirely a matter for the CPS. The Swedish prosecutors are not entitled to make decisions within Britain. It is entirely up to the British authorities to handle it."

As a result, she said, Sweden will not be submitting any new evidence or arguments to the high court hearing tomorrow morning. "The Swedish authorities are not involved in these proceedings. We have not got a view at all on bail."

After the Swedish statement was put to the CPS, it confirmed that all decisions concerning the opposing of bail being granted to Assange had been taken by its lawyers. It said: "In all extradition cases, decisions on bail issues are always taken by the domestic prosecuting authority. It would not be practical for prosecutors in a foreign jurisdiction … to make such decisions."

jewely first in a thread I will no longer visit you ask about an advertisement.
Every such site runs adds,not cheap to provide a service like this.
Not going to be able to agree with that about Aussies being regarded as a bit dumb.
Could throw in a few lines get a laugh but not my style.
It is true however, that leadership in every country, many times in much more than government, hide the truth from us.
We are just dots in their Castles, remember once elected politicians some times forget we exist.
Julian is being held because the Swedish government says it wants him on sex charges, one charge infers a condom broke while consensual sex was in progress!

“Julian is being held because the Swedish government says it wants him on sex charges, one charge infers a condom broke while consensual sex was in progress!”

Hey I will admit that can give you one hell of a fright Belly but who knew the Swedes were so sensitive.

Simple not dumb – like we just cruise along living life with no major leanings towards anything. Actually they may have got that right on the whole.

Yeah the adverts... I get they pick up on key phrases in posts... not sure if the ones here do. But through the immigration thread was this “freerefugee” link I had a quick gander at. Just kind of amused me at the time but how come you wont go back?

The thing I couldn’t work out was we all thought the Swedes were the key in holding Julian in a British jail but now they are denying that they had anything to do with the bail issue and it was the British prosecutors call, then I saw it was the Swedes who appealed it when he did get bail.

And then facebook dude who was voted like number 10 with Time Mag readers gets the Time Person of the Year when Julian was top of the list. Why bother with the voting?

Why vote anywhere really.

Dude just died playing golf in a lightning storm. Hmm…

Jewely,

I came upon the Guardian's report also - then noticed you'd already posted it. This just keeps getting stranger. The Swedish authorities say they were not involved in the latest proceedings and that it was all down to the British Crown Prosecuting Service.

And, yes, I took note that Assange was way out in front for Time's person of the year...what happened there?
