Wikileaks

[ShiftyPowers]

Wikileaks serves an essential purpose in modern democracy. There was a time when that statement would not be controversial but apparently the "War on Terrorism" is the super duperist scariest war ever and it changes everything.

MaestroZidane; you're a bit late since paypal closed the donation account to wikileaks, the official reason is "the donated money used in illegal activities".. amazon closed servers, paypal cancelled donation account, site traffic sometimes exceeds 1GB/sec.. good job, but I cant help thinking is that the best USA could do?

ah! Damn!.. guess once that info is out, there will be no more need for me to make a donation.

I too hope that one day the War on Terrorism becomes nothing more than a lampooned theme-park ride.

Damnit, Assange turned himself in! I wanna know what's in the "doomsday file"!

 

[Theodorakis]

Assange is being charged for raping two woman; Anna Ardin, and Sophie Wilen.. Anna Ardin is a feminist and an activist working for a social organization named Brotherhood Movement.. Brotherhood Movement invited Assange for a speech in August 2009; Assange was moving undercover those days and Anna Ardin proposed Assange to stay at her home for one night while she were away, which he accepted.. She was supposed to be away from home for at least until the day after Assange's speech; but she came in early, they had dinner and spent the night together..

After the speech Assange met with Sophie, they had lunch and then... you know .. Sophie later tried to contact Assange via Ardin but failed to do so.. Both women said they had sex with Assange and both were suggesting that he refused to use condoms (what kind of a rape victim asks from her rapist to use condoms BTW?).. Anna Ardin's whereabouts is now unknown..

Assange never denied that he had sex with these two women, but he suggests that it was a mutual agreement to have sex, not a rape..

he says he's got his ass covered and if something happens to him, files will be flooded..

he also received appreciation from some hacker organizations, they've made an DDoS attack and caused some serious problems to amazon's, paypal's and some swiss bank's servers..

seriously; things have never been this entertaining to follow..

Those rape charges are ridiculous, is that the best law enforcement can come up with? After losing the wars on drugs and terror, governments are setting up for a cyber war with hackers that they can't win either and with possibly even more dire consequences.

I love the way how democracy and freedom of speech motto's fail for USA.. and the way they play double standarts to cover up their asses is just disgusting..

I'm gonna leak all over shinji as if he was a poorly constructed pakistani viilage and I was the monsoon.

Well, it fails in the eyes of the retard public, the retard Congress, and the retard Executive Branch. If he was ever actually charged the Supreme Court would almost certainly have his back. He literally hasn't violated any of our laws.

The rape charges are idiotic. This is what happens when you loosen up rape laws. You know some feminists believe that you can withdraw consent AFTER the act and that should still be considered rape? That in some states in the United States it's considered rape if the woman is drunk (regardless if you're also drunk)? It's ******* ridiculous and my beloved liberal policies can REALLLLY **** up society if they are taken too far ("hate speech" as unprotected in most of Europe is an example of this as well). Anyway, it wouldn't surprise me if Sweden has some absolutely ridiculous standard for sexual assault that Assange has technically violated, but wouldn't actually be considered rape by any rational person.

 

[Theodorakis]

I've talked to my friend in sweden and he said they had ludicrously strict standarts for sexual assaults.. law is your job so I assume you already know that; he said these two women could make assange spend years in jail..

and for your first line; I cant help thinking what if USA hadnt made a single move against wikileaks.. press will be a pain in the ass so it might fail as well, but not on this level.. now it seems assange has the upper hand and what USA can only do is declaring him irresponsible and placing some stupid rape charges..

and I cant help thinking what if it happened to Russia

 

[::shinji::]

Assange should worry too hard, at least his cell will be furnished by Ikea. This photo of a Swedish prison cell looks better than where I live now.

Chicken wings and IKEA

I really don't know anything about Swedish law, but I know feminists are insane about what they think should be standard for sexual assault (I think they want you to literally ask "do you want me to penetrate you with my penis now?" and get a "yes", but even consent can be revoked AFTER THE ACT) and Sweden is one of the most "liberal" societies in the world. With that information I assume that they've bent their law to the feminists much more than most nations.

 

[emmer]

I think the “problem” is the (lack of) condoms. In Sweden, no condoms = some kind of rape. (Not exactly, but it’s something along those lines...)

 

[ShiftyPowers]

What a ******* joke. I guess by the laws of Sweden I am a serial rapist.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

This is literally one of the most ironic and hilarious things I've read in a long time

[Theodorakis]

last week Hillary Clinton was in Kazakhstan and Bahrein, and a Secretary of State from one of these countries supposedly told her "-Dont you worry about your leaked cables.. You should see our cables about your country.." .. epic

 

[Help?]

LMAO at the swedish prison. PLEASE DO leak those UFO documents!

I think scientifically it's pretty much impossible for us to come into contact with other intelligent life. There's definitely other life out there 100% definitely, and there's almost assuredly intelligent life out there, but the distance between stars is so extraordinarily vast that it's unlikely we could ever come into contact with aliens.
