If I were free media, I would by now monitor all private jets and transport aircrafts or passenger planes arriving Arlanda Stockholm. The tail numbers will disclose what of those planes that is a CIA front. To jail Assange for these accusations can only mean one thing. Extradition. This has happened before and it will happen again. CIA was allowed into Sweden kidnapping Egyptian refugees 2007. These refugees were transported to Egypt were they were tortured and imprisoned. The dark figure of crimes of this type is of course considerable. I would not be surprised if a CIA front owned plane is already parked at Arlanda. The main motor in this is Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt a known Bilderberger member that this year sent Swedish representatives to Westfield Marriot in Chantilly Virginia, Jonas Bonnier President and CEO, Bonnier AB, Gunilla Carlsson Minister for International Development Cooperation,  Jacob Wallenberg Chairman, Investor AB.  Assange was probably along with the situation in Syria and Iran the main topics of that secretive meeting, the meetings involving the crème de la crème of this worlds financial giants, mega corporations, oil giants, media tycoons, pre-selected and elected world politicians. This international cabal of criminals rule the day, and has done so since 1954, this is the global clandestine “protective parent group” of the world involving member nations and non member nations, that make sure that all global events play out after their design and their agendas. Their method of controlling global events is problem, reaction, solution, and they are the mother of all special interest groups out there, lobbying for their cause, WLeaks opened up for a dangerous rift between US and European Clandestine Organizations, of course they want Assange extradited to the US, of course they arrest Bradley Manning for showing the truth, the rift made by WLeaks and Manning documents has not been easy to repair as confidence is severely damaged.

Aldous...1984 is the NORM....it`s how things are always going to be .....regardless of which crooked gangster runs the world.
What infuriates me about the ridiculous Jews and their monarch Lord Rothschild and his  Israeli global Gestapo the CIA.. is that they were within a whisker of freeing us ALL!
If only all their BBCs and Madoffs and Blankfeins and Netanyahus and Murdochs had really BELIEVED in and introduced those wonderful Enlightenment concepts (they cynically misused to enslave us for Baal)  the whole of mankind could have been entering a better Brave New World!

And who gets the blame? JULIAN ASSANGE.  Don`t be such a drama queen Aldous.....it`s time we realised that if we deposed "truthful" ikons like the Clintons and Bliars our dear friends (and patrons) Lord Rothschild and the Pope would just find us some more equally crooked Catholic,Jewish or Zionist overlords to carry on totally ignoring the democratic wishes of the public and running all the same rackets they did before.What are you worrying about ? These financial wizards have sensibly disorganised a much needed (population reducing) world war... and handed power back to the sensibly "Communist" Chinese....so very soon now the architects of this ridiculous Zionist George Soros "open society" New World will be swept from the face of the Earth by the work of their own hands!  It`s poetic justice.

It would have been so much easier, faster and cheaper for Sweden to send some inspectors to the UK to question Assange...

It would have been so much easier faster and cheaper for the US to send a Predator Drone to toast his neighbourhood preferably with Julian at home. Thats what the beast`s salivate over doing.

Keep a few juicy ones for later Jools......it will make an interesting backdrop  to your extradition or trial.  And beware,,,,someone at RT has already taken down this post when I posted it last night!Why not see if you can get funding from George Soros.....he believes in Open Societies?

Dear Mr.Vladamir Putin. As a great  leader of the great Russia, please organise the refuge of Julian Assange in your country, as I fear for his life when he is extradited to the U.S.Julian Assange is clever, honest and he   has tremendous knowledge in internet communications and would be an asset to Russia,and not a liability.His own country has turned it's back on him because Australia is one of America's puppet nations.The US is the master of the UK, and other United Nation countries so there can be no help from the puppets of the UN. Only Russia and China are capable of doing something. Julian Assange is strong, he  does not bow down to anyone which is a quality that you yourself will appreciate.  That is to say, like you, Mr Putin. he has unwavering courage,  the truth is his master and he  is a very brave man.Only a leader of a country like you is capable of  setting into motion the necessary steps to save this man  from being extradited to the US as individuals cannot do much without the backing of a political leader who isnot afraid of the US  and its cancerous war machinery. Yours sincerely on behalf of all right thinking individuals, we are all Julian Assange..

It is simply wrong. and wrong and wrong. Julien Assange as a journalist simply  exposed and so acted as  a witness to  crininal activity.The criminal activity being the  murder of innocent  civilian s in an illegal war which was carried out  by the American Military which makes the US Govt directly  responsible. Bloo d is on the hands of the American Govt, and not on the hands of Julien Assange and unless I'm from another planet, the murderer  of innocent people is  guilty of the crime and not the reporter of the crime. A question with any answers please,  what can be done practically to help Julien Assange,  he needs our help?

And so Julian sent to Sweden and then Guantanamo Bay or given the death sentence as a traitor....as advocated by an American politician. If you ever wanted proof that we live in a world of injustice and double standards just remember this case of rough justice. We never need to be told the truth about anything important. MURDOCH and his media empire in total control of our thoughts and opinions. The British government just lost its nerve. Our national stock dow ngraded to junk status in the court of international opinion and honour. Speaking the truth now banned in Britain....its all rather unpleasant but not unexpected. Daniel Ellsberg PENTAGON PAPERS by comparison was treated as a hero in America because he was American.

I think it's a shame what they are doing to this great man.  I call him great cause he's intentionally activated the hornets nest(s) and they are trying their best to "sting him."  If anyone saw the giant hornets in japan take over a bee colony, that is what's happening now.  All of us aren't woker bees however.  We're pest control.  Great show by the way.  Travel Light.

And Russia is going to stand there and do nothing? At the least offer Assange political asylum. America do it all the time with political prisoners in China, Assange is clearly a POLITICAL target for America who want to get their hands on him anyway they can, even (as in this case) flouting international law. Why don't Russia start using its brain and challenge America? America is like a rotten wall, you just need one good kick and it will all crumble.
What are you scared of Russia? During the Cold War you were isolated and America was rich and strong, yet you acted all aggressive. Now, you are no longer isolated, Europe looks towards you for its energy needs, does not fear you anymore and America is weak and corrupt to the core (and bankrupt) and now you SAY NOTHING???
It is unbelievable. If you, Russia, don't make a stand against this colonial tyranny coming from the USA...then there is no hope for any of us or humanity as a whole.
This reminds me a lot of how you read in the history books in the 1930s where everyone ignored aggressive Germany until it was too late. I suppose we never learn from history, hey?

It is not enough that injustice be done, injustice needs to be seen to be done.

POMEs need to be honest with themselves… the old bailey has never been the best legal system in the world.
