The Secret Diary of Julian Assange

Thursday, December 2, 2010

It's troubling that an article like this even had to be written.  Whatever Julian Assange is or isn't has nothing to do with the documents being leaked on Wikileaks.

We are getting to see how the people controllin­g our government go about their dirty deeds, by their pressuring foreign government­s to ignore their own laws and pass on prosecutin­g Americans who have broken both their laws and internatio­nal laws.  

We're seeing that repeated, not only in the documents being released on WIkileaks, but in real time, with our government officials pressuring Sweden and Interpol, et al, to trump up a case against Assange in order to rendition him.  

For those who don't know the facts, no charges have been filed against Assange for anything.  The alleged victims have publicly stated that no r@pe took place.   

There are all of these secondary filings of paperwork (like a 'red notice' by Interpol) that have no force of law on their own without any actual criminal charges being filed against Assange and what you would typically do AFTER someone is charged with a crime in order to arrest and extradite the person back to the country where the alleged crimes occurred.  

These secondary filings really show the authoritie­s in a frenzy, salivating in their anxiety to do something about Assange.  

And from what I understand­, even if Assange were arrested and extradicte­d, or 'disappear­ed', "the show would go on"; Wikileaks would continue to publish these documents.  

So all of this drama around Assange is distractio­n.
