Julian Assange is being smeared and framed by the 1%.

There is no case.

Even if these allegations were true, the alleged assault would be totally impossible to successfully prosecute, given that the forces of justice were applied with complete integrity.

This entire drama is a staged event by a vindictive 1% who are determined to punish Julian for exposing them for the monsters that they are. Using false allegations of sexual assault is the simplest way for the 1% to ruin a person's reputation, and to neutralize their post-allegation actions, without having to have any tangible evidence to do this with. They are using this case, which is already moot, in order to insure that Julian can no longer threaten the status quo of their dictatorial control over world affairs.

Assange already won. It was clear from the day Wikileaks posted the CIA memo sabrina 1 Apr 2013 #55

All they have to do is guarantee not to extradite him. bemildred Apr 2013 #6
Maybe they should question him in a location other than Sweden. JVS Apr 2013 #9
Hey, that could work too! nt bemildred Apr 2013 #10
Only if he agrees to be taken into custody if the Swedes decide to arrest him. hack89 Apr 2013 #11
Arrest him for having sex without a condom without consent? JDPriestly Apr 2013 #19
It might be baseless - that's why we have judicial systems to sort such things out. hack89 Apr 2013 #20

Well, the STD test is moot now... ReRe Apr 2013 #29
It's my understanding that he gave the evidence required for the STD JDPriestly Apr 2013 #31
Untrue. The investigation into the rape complaint was reopened on the appeal of the complainant struggle4progress Apr 2013 #79
True. As much as you seem to wish it were not. Matariki Apr 2013 #88

Seriously, if you're not being PAID to make anti-Assange posts in such bulk Matariki Apr 2013 #99
Which of the links I've provided do you find questionable? struggle4progress Apr 2013 #100
I'd rather understand your obsession. Why do you post so much negative stuff about Assange? Matariki Apr 2013 #102
I simply disproved your claim: "neither of the women accused Assange of rape" struggle4progress Apr 2013 #103

As I understand it, he already submitted biological samples JDPriestly Apr 2013 #30
I didn't know he submitted to tests... ReRe Apr 2013 #32

The presence of semen would prove that there was unprotected sex, JDPriestly Apr 2013 #45
That would make for a quick resolution, unless it really *is* about a sex crime. freshwest Apr 2013 #13
Well, if nothing else it would expose his dissembling, if that's what it is. bemildred Apr 2013 #14
Lindskog, in his speech, suggests forward extradition is highly unlikely struggle4progress Apr 2013 #56
Yeah, I read that. nt bemildred Apr 2013 #58
You can watch the speech if interested: I posted a link downthread struggle4progress Apr 2013 #60
I'm not interested. bemildred Apr 2013 #62
Lindskog's speech is actually directed towards law and policy wonks: struggle4progress Apr 2013 #66
Exactly, that's the stuff I'm not interested in. bemildred Apr 2013 #67
To be clear: if they ever get him back to Sweden, such issues might be relevant. bemildred Apr 2013 #69
"his past experience" means what, exactly? struggle4progress Apr 2013 #70
Don't play stupid with me, or I'll go back to ignoring you. bemildred Apr 2013 #74
I suppose he IS unhappy: UK courts have ordered his extradition based on a rape complaint struggle4progress Apr 2013 #75
Yeah, I expect he is not happy with the UK justice system either. bemildred Apr 2013 #77
Authorities usually don't negotiate conditions for extradition with persons who have been ordered struggle4progress Apr 2013 #80
Yeah, I know that. They already extradited him to Sweden, that's why he is in the embassy. bemildred Apr 2013 #82
The so-called centrists among us will not be happy. They support the suppression by the 1%. nm rhett o rick Apr 2013 #7

All criminal process in Sweden should cease until Cheney is behind bars? struggle4progress Apr 2013 #59
That's a silly suggestion. nm rhett o rick Apr 2013 #63
I agree. Cheney's crimes have no connection whatsoever to the Swedish sexual complaints struggle4progress Apr 2013 #65
Cheney is protected by the 1% and Assange is persecuted by the 1%. rhett o rick Apr 2013 #71
