WikiLeaks guy accused of rape
 

remember that wikileaks guy who started the site and posted a bunch of sensitive info about the US military/govt? well he's been hanging out in europe (no shit, he wouldnt be caught dead in the states) and recently was arrested for rape.

some speculate that it could be a set-up in the US govt's part, since this guy is doing some serious damage. the idea is, because the US gov't cant actually do anything to criminals outside their country, they could instigate a crime, like rape, to have the person arrested. then, once arrested, the two nations could negotiate extradition of the said criminal back into the US's hands.

here's a news release in case y'all aint hurdd
http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news...208-18ou6.html

this is ancient news.... the "rape" case

it was dismissed (the investigation) and then some other district after some prompting? reinstated the case and issued a warrant

him being arrested just happened though (He went to the British police himself for an interview where they arrested him)



its quite scary really whats going on not only has Paypal/Amazon/some web servers denied service

but so has Visa/Mastercard wtf?

feels like we're in Total Recall or something

He was "wanted on suspicion on rape, two counts of sexual assault, and one count of illegal coercion". None of which has been proven. Even the judge says he's still waiting for evidence. But that's been around for a long time...

The big news is that he was arrested today (he turned himself in).

Facebook still supports WikiLeaks though haha. Good shiet.

EDIT: lol same post time.

I HIGHLY doubt he would go rape someone when he is under a huge microscope like that. Sounds very much like a setup.

Do you work for Fox News? Because your title is a blatant LIE.

He is not being charged for anything, let alone rape. What Interpol is claiming is that two women who had consensual sex with him claim he would not use a condom.

Whats interesting is that he is not being charged for anything, yet there is a "international warrant" for him. The "warrant" claims that he is wanted for "questioning" by the Swedish yet Assange and his lawyers have repeatedly offered to be questioned by Swedish judges via video-conference.

This type of "warrant" by Interpol is extremely rare being that Assange has not been convicted of any crime, his lawyers are in communication with British authorities, and that they (the British) know the location of Assange. Yet the media is touting this story as a "international manhunt" when Assange presented himself to the authorities almost immediately after the British Gov't requested him to do so.

It is BLATANTLY OBVIOUS that this FARCE has has little, if anything to do with the alleged "sexual offences" but a SMEAR CAMPAIGN against the founder and director of Wikileaks. The US gov't wants to get Assange extradited to the US where they can lock him up in hopes to shut down wikileaks and any future dissidents.

have you, perhaps, been under a rock?

Are you 5 years old?

If you want to challenge someone's assertions, you kinda have to make a counter argument and not just spout out brain-dead comments like "have you been under rock" :rolleyes:

It's like spouting off to someone "You're Gay!" and think you've accomplished some great feat. Pathetic.

(I don't think he's talking to you)

:blushsmile:

Typically a response without any quotation or mention of another poster is directed towards the OP. You just think you're so important that everyone must be talking to you! Way to live up to your name.... Noob.

Soon were gonna hear the Wikileaks guy got shanked in jail and didn't make it ....

Berz out.

doubt they'll kill him but i wouldnt be surprised if his lawyers lose contact with him and he ends up somewhere in one of those US Rendition prisons

No shit hey, this world....I used to laugh at people who had those signs on their homes that said "I don't dial 9-1-1"....but lately I'm starting to see why

The whole case against him is clearly orchestrated. Now that he's in custody, he's done. I wonder what the soldier that leaked the classified material to WikiLeaks in the first place thinks of all this. It's ironic too, because Julian Assange's attempt to make information more available and governments more transparent will likely have the opposite effect by the time the sun sets on this.

Oh and noobz, I don't think RRxtar was talking to you LOL, I think his comment was towards the OP :D

Dude, you're gay.


my first post was to the OP

Pretty sure interpol / US government/ whomever is handling this very carefully. On one hand they want they guy crushed, wikileaks crushed, and his body sent through a meat grinder.

On the other hand, they realize if they do this, he will essentially become a modern day martyr of the interwebs. His influence is just crazy big. Probably will end time at Time's person of the year.

Don't forget we are only on cable 800 of 350,000. So they essentially have a lifetime of leaks. Paypal shutting his account down, his bank shutting his account down only to have their website DDOS'd, and piratebay telling all members to boycott Paypal, Razor1911 supporting wikileaks and hosting a mirror, US Gov't trying to DDOS' the shit out of wikileaks..... essentially almost cyber warfare is coming. hahaha.

One thing's for sure though, it proves that even powerful governments can almost never fully censor the internet.

Don't forget, Wikileaks is only an organizer of a group of websites including The Guardian and The NY Times that is leaking info. Even with Assange gone, the meat and potatoes of the operation will still be functional. Assange, in an interview with CNN described himself as a "lightning rod" in the sense that he gets a lot of credit for things that he hasn't personally done, but also take a lot of heat for the good of the organization. And that analogy has not been more poignant than now.

this seems like micheal jackson all over again, accusing innocent suspect of rape.... if you guys saw the documentary of jarome jackson talking to cnn you would know understand

hopefully all of this will have some sort of meaning in the future

oh shit i fucked up. well i been really busy since september, so technically, yeah i've been under a rock.

august 22nd.. ive been busy around the month of september, happy?

Aug 7th bro.

Why didnt the wikileak guy post something about CA govt? Really wana see what happen when the f*up canadian system go into deep shit..

This is ridiculous. according to the news he was having consensual sex and was wearing a condom. When the condom fell off during sex it turned into rape.

Only a small number of the cables have been released so far. What I've read about our own government so far hasn't been bad.

Like this:

U.S. diplomats made note of Canada's stand against Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi in the fall of 2009.

Gadhafi cancelled a planned stopover in St. John's after learning Cannon wanted to meet him at the airport and express Canada's displeasure over the hero's welcome Libya had given to the man convicted of the 1988 Lockerbie bombing.

There's apparently 2,648 cables concerning Canada though, so there'll be more stuff coming.
