UPDATE: JULIAN ASSANGE Freed!

Same warrant. One was terminally ill, the other isn't. You can'tput terminally ill people in prison, and it's a waste of time sentencing them to capital punishment because they are going to die anyway. What do you not get about that?

I heard it for the first time the other day. First Chromatom kept calling me it, then I heard Larry david using it in the latest woody allen film whatever works. I think it might be a jewish insult. It is a new word to me and I was just trying it out, don't take it personally.

 

Well it's nice or not nice (however) to see what's wrong. I mean yeah there's a lot of wrong, and damn crooked perspectives running the show. I am mad, and dissapointed. I am not sure what I can do. I do as much as I can. By your school of thinking, I'm doing all that I should, being in control of my own views. It's just I don't think it's worth it to point to be driven by the frustration with the system, and anger yourself by the idea of people laughing issues off, when they're not necessarily.

The straight ignorance of people in whole will have to make its slow crawl towards social awareness on its own, while I just watch, and vote for it by holding my views. But I've always been voting in that manner, and the results have been very hard to pick out.

 

That's a really mature stance and I agree.

I do feel though that anger has it's place. Perhaps it's just me, but I'd much rather have people get fed up and pissed off than have them laugh and shrug it off. Of course not everyone who enjoys those shows does that. Frustration fuels change more than lightheartedness and comedy.

People can respond however they like, I just wish all of our problems didn't become one big fucking joke.

Last night I watched David Letterman (my first mistake) and he made fun of Assange and wikileaks by creating a 'Stars on Ice' type of skit. The audience ate it up. I suppose I might be overly sensitive but that type of thing I find very disheartening and it pisses me off. It's very easy to lose faith in people when you see large numbers of them respond in that way. I either need to quit expecting more from people in general, or quit watching late night comedy shows. Probably both.

I don't take freedom and human rights lightly, and I don't appreciate these issues being turned into jokes to earn more ratings for mediocre comedians.

 

Car bombs going off in Stockholm tonight.

but threatening some television assholes with violence will have the FBI at your door.. Freedom of speech isnt FREE..
It would make a funnier skit to see Lettermans head blown off with a 30.06...

 

Do you think they read every one of the 350,000+ Iraq logs before releasing them, welcome though many of them are.

 

Also true

 

Way to prove my point...

The 391,832 reports came to about 200,000 pages... the Pentagon Papers was about 10,000 pages.

As for if they read every one of them...

Anything else you would like the truth on rather then the fables you have been told?

 

Update:

The price of freedom- Some students of Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs received emails last week threatening that any student who shared or discussed the cables on social sites like Twitter could potentially kiss their chances of getting a government job with security clearance goodbye.

Here's an excerpt from that email and part of the article-

"The documents released during the past few months through Wikileaks are still considered classified documents," the email read. "He recommends that you DO NOT post links to these documents nor make comments on social media sites such as Facebook or through Twitter."

How ominous!

It's a longer article, the rest is here;

Update:

The US is trying to change existing laws in order to build a better case against Assange as extraditing him could prove difficult. In the past the US government tried to charge The New York times for publishing Pentagon papers in the 1970's under the 1917 Espionage Act and they failed. It's likely they'll try to use this act to build a case against Assange but it seems they're worried it won't hold up, which is why they're "expanding" the current act/laws.

 

Perhaps the proceedings can be aired on Kangaroo Court TV

 

That or they'll hand the case over to Judge Judy...

 

I have this idea that after Julian sues the crap out of these "things" (I cannot stomach calling them women, as mny women truly are good people and by labeling the "things" as women then insults the positive image the good women have) for such crimes as these "things" allege had been committed to them, those same acts SHOULD be committed to them.

Rape is such a God-awful act to even imagine. When it is forced upon another person (not just women get raped, FYI), it is a billion times worse. To murder the victims is really not as crime of violence, but instead a crime of mercy. Because as they live they will relive the rape.

And the residents of Crawford Colorado just might concur with that statement.

 

Because of the source I'm incline to take this with a grain of salt bu there is some noise out there about the "things" being plants by US (I think) intelligence. The way that the industrialized world acted seemingly in unison only after Assange told of upcoming documents relating to big banks and BP among other corporations with a coordinated response including possible CIA involvement is deeply unsettling and rather ominous in light of all that has transpired economically and politically over the past couple decades or so.

It is boiling down to a question of who decides what we have the "right" to know and whether or not we have a "right" to speak up about it. The words in the constitution say something very different from policies-- and actions speak FAR louder than words.

 

You're a scary person, Logan.

 

Update: JULIAN Assange's Swedish lawyer has expressed confidence that he can blow away the sexual misconduct allegations against the Australian.

Assange's lawyer Bjorn Hurtig wants to appear at an extradition hearing in London this week as he feels that he can stop the case from going to Sweden. Hurtig says that the police documents, "prove that the two women who made the allegations were driven by their own "hidden agendas"."

Hurtig also went on to stay that the women pressed charges because they were motivated by jealousy and disappointment, not some big international government conspiracy like many would believe.

"I can prove that at least one of them had very big expectations for something to happen with Julian," he told Britain's Mail on Sunday.

Mr Hurtig said he wanted to fly to London for Mr Assange's extradition hearing on Wednesday morning, Australian eastern time.

"If I am able to reveal what I know everyone will realise this is all a charade," he said.

"If I could tell the British courts I suspect it would make extradition a moot point.

"But at the moment I'm bound by the rules of the Swedish legal system, which says the information can only be used as evidence in this country.

"For me to do otherwise would lead to me being disbarred."

Hopefully Assange's lawyer comes through for him! I suppose we'll find out Wednesday.

 

There's another article out this morning from some place in Washington that claims Assange's threats about secret, unreleased information might be empty. Apparently the US isn't sweating as much now. Not good news for Assange.

That or she wanted a relationship with a wealthy man and he didn't want one...

 

Later this morning Julian Assange will be in a British court seeking bail for the second time...


...good luck Julian

 

I often wonder what exactly will be written in history books under the time frame 2000-2010 a few generations from now...
