Karma's a bitch: The Swedish case against Julian Assange is leaked.

[MovingTarget]

Don't get me wrong, I am a supporter of Wikileaks. However, my inner troll can't help but think: HA HA!

 

[nublikescake]

How did I reach this conclusion? How about your whole guilty until proven innocent thing?

It doesn't apply in this case cuz Assange is a liberal terrrrarist who hates America! Ignore the fact that his organization is the single best thing to happen to investigative journalism in decades.

Having a debate with you is the equivalent of wrestling with a greased pig. I end up getting dirty and you (the pig) just enjoy yourself.

Unfortunately YOU are the gubment in this country. If you don't like tyranny (as you call it) then vote the tyrants out. If you want to know what tyranny is go watch a documentary on Nazi Germany.

That didn't take too long....invoking Godwin's law that is. Let me ask you a question: is there no "tyranny" between the extremes of Nazi Germany and a utopia?

 

[nublikescake]

air all of his dirty laundry.

You think that's gonna change something? The cat's out of the bag. No amount of character assassination can change the fact that the dirty laundry of the bully of the world is out and he's fighting tooth and nail to punish the messenger.

I don't know or give a shit about the current charges in Sweden. He MAY have committed rape...or it could just be "rape when the check bounced. "He said, she said," is all we have at this time.

Personally I hope he's released from jail...then either turns up floating face down in the Thames, or is found in bits and pieces...scattered all over London.

As for the "leaker," Pvt. Manning should be tried for espionage and either sentenced to death...or sentenced to serve the rest of his life in Leavenworth. (I'd have preferred Portsmouth...but it's been closed for quite a while.) The son-of-a-bitch should never see the light of day again, except through prison bars.

 

[nublikescake]

How does that get our troops killed?

It doesn't but these guys don't let facts get in the way of repeating the same discredited bullshit that was debunked shortly after it came out.

Do you wish the same for Daniel Ellsberg? You know the guy who played an important role in bringing an end to the Vietnam war and as a consequence prevented more AMERICAN lives from being lost?

 

[Hammer]

this is a sad state of affairs. back in the day, this guy and his cohorts would disappear in a series of highly improbable accidents.

 

[nublikescake]

I try to vote them out. Hasn't worked yet, because people like yourself keep voting the idiots back in.

Well then you have no choice left other than to leave the country and go to North Korea or Iran.

 

[911paramedic]

I wanted to comment about the story but it seems this thread is another "us vs. them" thread.

:shrug:

Too bad today is not "back in the day" and even if this guy and his "cohorts" would disappear, it's not really the people that are significant to this kind of an operation, it's the technology. What's to prevent another Julian Assange from creating a website and carrying on the work?

 

[eits]

I sincerely hope this guy get what he truly deserves ...

lol, you've got to be kidding me. that sounds like an average one-night stand. seriously, not a big deal.

rape? molestation? lololol...

 

[Narmer]

Our intelligence agencies should have drugged and had pictures taken of this guy fucking a farm animal years ago. Blackmail works wonders. With luck he could have committed suicide. Problem over.

 

[bfdd]

assange had the opportunity not to release it. while it was stolen by someone else, it was let loose by assange. he's not a journalist, so technically he was leaking it to the actual press by proxy.

He was the delivery boy, the messenger. You don't shoot the messenger. How hard is that to understand? Just because he's an idiot douche bag with a God complex doesn't change the fact he is nothing more than a messenger.

So if I give you illegal insider information do you think you are allowed to tell the press and/or tell the general public?

I'd rather get the truth.

 

[OBLAMA2009]

none of that sounds like rape. those women didnt even go to the cops to report rape, they went because they realized he was playing both of them and probably 50 other beaches at the same time and wanted him to get a disease test.

It probably isn't, but what would I be guilty of besides giving the package you gave me away to the press? As far as I'm concerned you committed all the treason stealing the shit, not I.

 

[cyclistca]

I agree. People who live in glass house should not throw stones.

Unless they have a machine gun mounted on the top of them.

 

[OBLAMA2009]

seriously this case is ridiculous. have you ever seen a case where a reporter couldnt even have a bank account because of his reporting? whats going to happen from now on. any time the government doesnt like someone reporting on a certain subject or doesnt like the tone of someones reporting they get charged with spying or terrorism? this whole case sounds more like a pretext for the gov to monitor everything we do on the internet to protect itself from "spies".

I don't know the laws when it comes to aiding and abetting (in) a criminal enterprise but I'm sure your ass would be on the line as well. lol, if reporters go to jail for not naming their source (that would be YOU), do you think you get off free? You're not doing some saintly work simply because you give illegal information to the press.

 

[dwell]

If non-consensual, unprotected sex ain't rape, what is?

Wow. You must be some law abiding citizen. I'm curious. Have you ever smoked weed before? I'm sure that's illegal too. Lots of things are illegal such as speeding. Depends on how severe the infraction is.
IMO not revealing the contents would be the bigger evil.

Narmer, nothing you are saying changes the fact Assange is the messenger everyone is attacking him for such.

We had servicemen commit treason, pieces of shit from our own country who did the actual damage of stealing the information and giving it to Assange to leak. Those are the pieces of shit that should burn at the stake.

The only non-consenual thing I can see out of any of it is the having sex with a sleeping chick and even that is probably a he said she said with no actual evidence. All he has to say is "she woke up and agreed so I thought we were on" and she will say "but I don't remember that!" well of course she wouldn't fucking remember it she fell back asleep or was half a sleep in the first place. There really is no case if this is all they have imo.
