After Sweden: Assange to become Manning II?

June 15, 2012 10:27

Julian Assange’s extradition to Sweden has fueled fears he will be transferred to US jurisdiction. Political rhetoric branding Assange as a terrorist and reports of a secret indictment make a fair trial seem unlikely should he fall into US hands.

JA`s cover and mission is almost complete.It`s now time for him to leave the scene.
He will be allowed back in time possibly to fulfill his early dreams in journalism in recognition of his service.

No British newspaper or TV company mentioning JULIAN ASSANGE....this matter is now censored by all British media outlets with no comments allowed. Sometimes you get the idea that the Ministry of Truth is now running our lives. The truth is out there in RT....not the BBC.

IF Sweden was honest and JUST wanted to question Assange, then it would had been easyer to send two detectives to the UK to question him.... but they dont do that, so i am sure Sweden got some bad intentions.

If he is innocent, I don't understand why he would allow himself to be victimized.  Why walk into a trap unless it will serve your cause.

Why is Julian Assange "playing fair" by trusting an obviously CORRUPT justice system and attending court??? Does he think he willl have more freedom in jail as opposed to going on the run?---------------- -------------------- -------------------- -------------I think one of the Tolpuddle martyrs had it about right when asked whether he felt shamed by the chains he was wearing as he was paraded on his way to the ship bound for the penal colony in Australia."Why me Sir, not I, these chains shame the man who put them about me!"The real upstager would be for Assange to demand Habeas Corpus in England and demand to be tried here like Americans would do in the USA.You see there`s some real sport to be had with the slithering traitors in our Coalition spivs cabal.  What are the Cameroons and Murdochs and their cronies in the BBC.. in reality? A collection of unelected lying gypos and con merchants and arms peddlars for their crooked Jew masters...... like Rothschild (skulking here in a mansion) and the rest of the sordid Bilderberger Crew in the USA and Israel.Did you see the Cameron creature at the Leveson Inquiry?I suppose all that could be said in the creepy spivs favour was that he did look a little ashamed of what it disclosed about him....but to think we are reduced to having scum like Rothschild and Cameron and Fox and Haigh  running our banana republic. What a SHOWER!We should offer Vanunu and Manning and Assange the Nobel Peace Prize so they can go to the ceremony and wipe their backsides with it and throw it back at the judges!

This goes to show the demise of the so called civilised West is not just financial. I would not be surprised if Sweden handed him over to America and then split Nobel War Prize ( hooops,  I meant to say Peace Prize)between Julian and Bradley in a desparate attempt to prove to the world that they are not a puppet state!

No matter what your personal feelings are towards the man he has shown the way for others.... And making an example of him is only going to escalate matters when others stand up and take his place.

Why is Julian Assange "playing fair" by trusting an obviously CORRUPT justice system and attending court??? Does he think he willl have more freedom in jail as opposed to going on the run.Even morally he would not be doing anything wrong, by avoiding court, as he has been charged with NOTHING. Anyone should realize that if there are no charges, it is incumbent on the police to come to you for questioning,  NOT to extradite. Run Julian, it is your only hope.Better to be free and on the run than to be imprisoned with no place to go or even worse to be assassinated by an immoral system.

It is against Swedish law to conduct legal interviews by electronic means.  For someone calling himself an "attorney" to comment about doing the interview by Skype to show the extradition as extraordinary without knowing the law is poor.  When the warrant was issued, Assange was in hiding in the UK, whereabouts unknown by Swedish authorities.  The warrant was needed to follow Swedish and international laws.  As is correct.

The reason that George walker Bush is a war criminal today,is because of British white hall lies to US congress and MI6 dodgy dossier.Julian in US court,will be an opportunity for Bush,to blame the English for their warmongering lies,and crimes against humanity in Iraq and prove his own innocence.US military never really forgave Brits for involving them in a loosing war in Iraq,,, with their dirty tricks.

There will probably be another massive legal battle in sweden? Why didn't the English extradite him to the US in the first place? The man acted against the British Empire anyway.

Russia or Equador (or even Syria), Please give Julian ASSANGE REFUGE, he is a political prisoner of a very corrupt and murderous regime which includes many countries in it's fold.  His life is no longer safe he  is in danger, he needs help, and you can help him

Was it about this time of life that Rupert Murdoch was given such dissapointing ultimatum by the dissective nihilist historiographies that claimed all invective by laconic peer inclusion?  The time is right for the new mythology of the Flat Tax Rate of Russia to step out and rescue of the British Tradition what could not be rescued before.  Do me a favour and hide him by surreptitions of St Petersburg.
