seeder Posted May 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted May 19, 2017 I did a quick search since posting this earlier as a status update, didnt find anything similar..... Quote Julian Assange: Sweden drops rape investigation Sweden has decided to drop the rape investigation into Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. Top prosecutor Marianne Ny said his arrest warrant was being revoked as it was impossible to serve him notice. Mr Assange, 45, has lived in the Ecuadorean embassy in London since 2012. He fears extradition to Sweden would lead to extradition to the US where he is wanted over leaks. Ecuador has called on the UK to allow him safe passage out of the country. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-39973864 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftermath Posted May 19, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Fascinating development in his saga ... I wonder though if this just isn't a ploy to get him out of the embassy where U.S. operatives can nab him. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I feel his focus and agenda has always been to expose and undermine the US...as it's no secret that he is totally anti-American. It's clear that his motive wasn’t just publication of whistle-blown data, as it was to glorify Assange himself. I think he is an arrogant and less than honourable little man...who thought he could elevate his sense of celebrity and influence with the release of disruptive and illegally hacked information. Frankly, he is nothing but a snitch and a coward to me, who is not above the law...and it's about time that he mans up and faces the consequences of his passed deeds, rather than hide like the little pathetic mouse that he is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Americans have shown no interest in him all through this saga. The UK really has been left carrying a large bag of poo, damned if we do, damned if we don't. Assange and conspiracy cretins point the finger at the UK. The Swedes have got away Scot free. Stick him on the next flight to Ecuador.

bee Posted May 22, 2017 #13 Share Posted May 22, 2017 . Julian Assange heads the journalist group Wkileaks that serves as a conduit for whistle blowers to get information out into the public arena - I don't have a problem with that - I think his appearances on the balcony of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London are brilliant examples of modern maverick political theatre - Not many people would have the tenacity or courage of Assange to keep on keeping on - although he hasn't got much choice if he wants to survive all this - IMO individuals like Assange help to stop the drift towards society becoming thoroughly Mind Controlled by the political elite and super rich - I think some organisations in the US would definitely like to get their hands on him - like they would Edward Snowden - so he will still have to be very careful - the drama continues - 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon you think he's enjoying being in the Embassy I'm sure he'd love to be able to go to Ecuador - How safe he'd be there or anywhere now.... even if he could travel without being nabbed, is debatable though - .

That video above, he wants everyone to feel sorry for him, he seeks attention and as done all his life, the man is an irrelevance. If he believed in his cause, and that he was on the right side of the law he would've held his head up high and had his day in court with the best lawyers provided by crowd funding from his follows around the world the, conspiracy theorist. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithisco Posted May 22, 2017 #16 Share Posted May 22, 2017 I never quite know how to perceive Assange... the work of WikiLeaks can, in part only, be lauded; other times it is downright dangerous. As a person I find him extraordinarily "slimy" and unpleasant 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, and I also think that the British authorities have every right to arrest him for skipping bail. I mean really, who on earth does he think he is, by continuing to flounce the law in other countries. Apparently, it's not known for sure if US officials are seeking his arrest because of a possible sealed indictment. He needs to stop being a martyr to garnish sympathy... grow a backbone, and finally face up to things that he has brought upon himself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
