Breaking on BBC - judge denies bail to Julian
The railroading of Julian Assange is making it difficult for me to separate the so called Western governments from the Russians and Chinese - democracy my ass - this is fascism plain and simple.

Corporate governance by secrecy - fuck it.

2. Well, it's really out in the open now, that is for those that are willing to see.

Sorry if my lack of punctuation skills...

Fascism indeed and our government didn't waste much time trying to hide its role.

3. Much less bail on a trumped up non-felony charge.

10. He turned himself in and the Judge said
he was a at risk of flight..... after he turned himself in voluntarily at the police station.

Fascism is hidden behind the world ruling system.

13. Was it you who was talking about Pilger this week? Pilger tried to post Julian's bail
He was refused bail despite five wealthy supporters, including heiress Jemima Khan and writer John Pilger, offering £100,000 ($150,000) in assurance.

that supposedly legitimizes them like
the YES men.

29. Yes and the Mafia had better Italian Silk Suits and ties

My eldest brother told me when I got out of college to buy a dark blue suit
with a power tie..... red, white and blue.

It was one of the major things that counted in the interview.

BTW... only a white shirt and not the light blue one that I perfered.

LOL

32. Lyrics
JOHN LENNON
"Crippled Inside"

you can shine you're shoes
and wear a suit
you can comb your hair
and look quite cute

you can hide your face
behind a smile
one thing you can't hide
is when you're crippled inside

you wear a mask
and paint your face

you can call yourself
the human race

you can wear a collar
and a tie

but the one thing you
can't hide is when you're
crippled inside

well now you know that your
cat has nine lives babe
nine loves to itself
but you only got one
and a dog life ain't no fun

mamma take a look outside.

you can go to church
and sing a hymn
judge me by the color
of my skin

you can live a lie until you die
one thing you can't hide
is when you're crippled inside.


Thanks my Sweetie great recording at 256K

11. He walked into a police station
in Central London this morning.

No word from all the defenders of freedom of information.
They will regret this day - expect massive protests in London and elsewhere.

Free Julian Assange.

but usually reserved for former madams. You know he isn't safe. He is one of the bravest people I've seen in a long while.

12. John Pilger is on GEM$NBC defending
Julian - any journalist who supports truth should be supporting him.

I can't wait for the releases later today.

I'd hope there is a list of those who come out and support Julian.

More than ever I understand the major importance of Net Neutrality.

16. High stakes game.
a) there's nothing interesting in the info bomb. Assange is discredited.
b) there's interesting but not destabilizing info there - the stuff that's been released so far. Assange goes to jail having played his trump card, a four of clubs.
c) there are massive revelations which upset the apple cart, such as the names of the people who shorted AAL in 2000. Carlyle group?

15. Release the Kracken!! Maybe not yet. I suspect assange will play ball for a while and see if the

trumped up charges will stick. I think "rape" is an exaggeration and what he's actually charged with is just a misdemeanor sex crime as severe as, say, solicitation would be here in teh States...
