VIDEO [2:40]
IS JULIAN ASSANGE A RAPIST?
------------------------------------------
Chris Anderson from Ted Talks said WikiLeaks in just a few years have released more classified information than all the media in the world.  And even once it was released, the other media didn't report these documented facts. 
But, yet, as soon as there was dubious, unfounded allegations of a sexual nature about Julian Assange - Pfffffffft - all over the internet:  Raping Julian Assange; Is Julian Assange a rapist?

So since these guys failed, refused and neglected to report the truth before, obviously, you can't take their view without looking into it.  So, I looked into it. 

He had sex with two women and the condom broke in both case. [FALSE - x1 broken condom]
[  P A U S E  ]

Woman-A contacted Woman-B and said:
Hey, the condom broke and I'm worried I might have an STD, and I can't contact Julian Assange.  Will you come to the police station with me?

Woman-A brings Woman-B across Stockholm, passes many police stations on the way, meets her friend (who is personal policeman), and the policeman breaks protocol by not recording the conversation.
[POLICEWOMAN friend & associate of said woman]

I'd love to have seen how it went: 
Hey, when I was making sweet, consensual love to Julain Assange, the condom broke and I can't contact him.  Maybe he's just being a male prick, or maybe he's busy saving the world.  But maybe you can help me contact him?

What I'm hearing here is: 
"The founder of WikiLeaks, enemy of the most powerful people of governments in the world raped you?"

"That's not what I said.  I specifically did not say that."

She refused to sign the statement.
She text her friends, saying the policeman made up the charges, and even put on twitter:
"I was not raped by Julian Assange."

"It's like you're not listening to me."

"What, there's a black man. Where?  I'll shoot him in the back!" 

[LAUGHTER]

The prosecutor dropped the case in 24 hours, saying there is no case.  They brought in the condom to check for DNA.  There was no DNA in it.

But, hey, Sweden, what the f*ck would science know?

[LAUGHTER]

So, anyway, if there's any  crime broken here - if there's any crime committed here - it's the crime of having a pointy penis.

[LAUGHTER]

I'm pretty sure it's not illegal to have a sharp shaft or [we'd be ?] rounding up the needle-knobs.

Hey, what are you in for?

"Errr ... 7 years armed robbery.
How about yourself?"

"Errr ... I've got a case of the pyramid pecker."

Anyway, of course the condom broke, it's Julian Assange; he's the best in the world at breaking through all forms of protection.

[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]

VIDEO [2:40]:  IS JULIAN ASSANGE A RAPIST?

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKc_4SMc-HToDEQuPEuJ--A

Published on 6 Aug 2015
"This clip is taken from Aidan Killian's "Holy Trinity of Whistleblowers," A comedy show about whisteblowers. This clip shares the facts about the dubious allegations of a sexual nature against Julian Assange.

To this day there are no charges and yet Sweden and the UK have conspired to break human rights and have Assange surrounded by armed guards in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London where Julian continues to show his unwavering journalistic integrity while under house arrest."
------------------------------------------

COMMENT
Noticed attention-grabbing title of this video:  Is Julian Assange A Rapist?

Surprised to find humour in the material, as I was prepared to be outraged by yet another smear Assange offering.

Did notice some inaccuracies:

1.  "... the other media didn't report these documented facts."
My understanding is that the WikiLeaks pre Sweden police allegation releases were a widely reported media sensation. However, I guess it is likely that the orchestrated global media circus surrounding the take-down of Julian Assange, WikiLeaks publisher, may have eclipsed the attention given to whilstleblower releases. 
Key 2010 WikiLeaks releases:

  • the Collateral Murder video on 5th April 2010 (depicting US war crimes); and
  • the Afghan War Logs: 2004-2010 (comprising 91,000 US reports), on 25 July 2010); 
---- above, prior Sweden police allegations ----

    • the Iraq War Logs (comprising 391,832 US reports) that same year:  October, 2010.
    ----------------------   ꕤ   ----------------------

    THE TIMELINE 

    August 25
    Flimsy police allegations in Sweden were dismissed by Prosecutor Eva Finne.
    September 1
    Prosecutor Marianne Ny, the 3rd prosecutor to lead the case over the course of 10 days, resurrects the investigation into ’lesser rape’ after politician Claes Borgstrom, who was running under a Social Democrat ticket for Justice Minister position becomes the legal representative for the two women.

    October 22
    Iraq War Logs published.

    November 20

    Sweden issues Red Notice which Interpol posts on its front page.

    December 6

    UK authorities acknowledge European Arrest Warrant from Sweden.

    December 7

    Assange goes to police station, is put in prison until 16 December 2010. Then released on bail. He is placed under house arrest.

    2010-2015
    Prosecutor refuses to take Assange statement.
    The investigation has been frozen since 2010.

    2015, March
    (the statute of limitations on some of the alleged crimes will become effective in August 2015 - source)
    Prosecutor now, at the last moment, agrees to interview Assange in London.

    OFFICIAL NEUTRALISATION

    Theatre props & star performers:
    • Sweden police allegations of 'sexual misconduct' against, publisher, Assange, US proclaimed 'enemy combatant', 'cyber terrorist'  -  who not only released the 'Collateral Murder' video and Afghanistan War Logs, but had also just freshly released the Iraq War Logs, exposing further US war crimes ... leading to US foaming at the mouth and calls for his assassination;
    • a European Arrest Warrant (EAW), rubber-stamped;
    • an Interpol Red Notice, rubber-stamped;
    • Sweden authorities leaking to the press, what at this stage is merely an investigation (an intended breach);
    • Sweden Prime Minister Frederik Reinfeldt (and Australia's PM, Julia Gillard) making highly prejudicial press statements;
    were the props, actors and effective agents of an performance and exercise in intentional and prejudicial smear, isolation and discredit.  Much like the .

    GCHQ - online sabotage:
    'The Art of Deception: Training for Online Covert Operations' 
    One of the many pressing stories that remains to be told from the Snowden archive is how western intelligence agencies are attempting to manipulate and control online discourse with extreme tactics of deception and reputation-destruction. It’s time to tell a chunk of that story, complete with the relevant documents.

    Over the last several weeks, I worked with NBC News to publish a series of articles about “dirty trick” tactics used by GCHQ’s previously secret unit, JTRIG (Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group). These were based on four classified GCHQ documents presented to the NSA and the other three partners in the English-speaking “Five Eyes” alliance. Today, we at the Intercept are publishing another new JTRIG document, in full, entitled “The Art of Deception: Training for Online Covert Operations.”
    [ ... ]

    ... key, discrete revelations: the monitoring of YouTube and Blogger, the targeting of Anonymous with the very same DDoS attacks they accuse “hacktivists” of using, the use of “honey traps” (luring people into compromising situations using sex) and destructive viruses. But, here, I want to focus and elaborate on the overarching point revealed by all of these documents: namely, that these agencies are attempting to control, infiltrate, manipulate, and warp online discourse, and in doing so, are compromising the integrity of the internet itself.

    US Foaming at the Mouth
    American politicians and political pundits made media calls for the kidnap and illegal transfer of Julian Assange for trial in the US, as an 'enemy combatant' - and called for his assassination.

    US Demands to Assassinate Assange

    ----------------------   ꕤ   ----------------------


    US PRESSURE
    Imagine the potential US pressure that could be brought to bear on the governments of Sweden, Australia and Britain, leading up to (and following) the December 7, 2010 arrest of Julian Assange.

    Not that the politicians in these colluding states would require a great deal of arm twisting in order to oblige their US counterparts.

    Were it possible to even imagine any resistance to US demands for Assange, it's even easier to imagine that any such notion would be met with brutal opposition and illegality from the US.
    Take a look at what happened to the Bolivian president's plane during the Snowden US manhunt.  It was grounded because European authorities obliged their US masters.  And take a look at FBI flying into Iceland WITHOUT PERMISSION.

    Assange on the Untold Story of the Grounding of Evo Morales’ Plane During Edward Snowden Manhunt

    EXTRACT ONLY
    AMY GOODMAN: Were you shocked when the U.S. forced down President Evo Morales’s plane?
    JULIAN ASSANGE: Yes and no. I didn’t—we didn’t expect that they would do that. But we had seen from what they—Snowden was shocked—that we had seen in our battles over the past few years that similarly illegal conduct occurred. For example, they flew a private jet with six FBI agents and two prosecutors illegally into Iceland to interrogate people and commission them to try and steal information from us. So, we had seen this type of illegality before.
    AMY GOODMAN: On that point, very quickly, on Iceland, the FBI flew into Iceland without asking the government’s permission?
    JULIAN ASSANGE: The U.S. flew a private jet with six FBI officers and two prosecutors—one from New York and the other one, we believe, from Alexandria, Virginia, where the ongoing WikiLeaks grand jury is taking place—into Iceland under false pretenses, pretending that they were investigating a hacking threat to the Icelandic government. Once there, they then started interrogating an informant. Now, this informant had approached the U.S. Embassy with information. Now, it’s interesting to speculate exactly why the approach was made, whether it was because of a fear of threatened prosecution or a desire for financial reward, but then started interrogating them, taking them around hotel rooms in Iceland.

    The public statements made by Australia's Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, proved untrue
    .

    Gillard red-faced after calling WikiLeaks 'illegal'

    Prime Minister Julia Gillard has been left floundering after she labelled the actions of the WikiLeaks 'illegal', but couldn't say how. 
    7 Dec 2010 - 2:05 PM  UPDATED 24 Feb 2015 - 5:02 PM
    Prime Minister Julia Gillard has been slammed for labelling the actions of the WikiLeaks website and its founder Julian Assange 'illegal', as the slow but steady publication of classified documents continues.

    Ms Gillard has described the website as "illegal" but when directly asked what Australian laws it was breaking, she was unable to identify any.
    "The foundation stone of it is an illegal act," Ms Gillard told reporters on Tuesday.

    The "foundation stone" was the leaking of the documents to the website, not the publishing of the cables.

    "It would not happen, information would not be on WikiLeaks, if there had not been an illegal act undertaken," Ms Gillard said.

    It has been widely reported the man behind previous leaks of classified documents, Private Bradley Manning, is likely responsible for this latest leak of more than 250,000 classified documents from the United States State Department.

    Opposition legal affairs spokesman George Brandis chastised Ms Gillard for her "clumsy" language on the issue.

    "As far as I can see he (Mr Assange) hasn't broken any Australian law," he told Sky News.

    "Nor does it appear he has broken any American laws."

    Open letter: To Julia Gillard, re Julian Assange

    EXTRACTS ONLY 
    Dear Prime Minister,

    We note with concern the increasingly violent rhetoric directed towards Julian Assange of WikiLeaks. “We should treat Mr Assange the same way as other high-value terrorist targets: Kill him,” writes conservative columnist Jeffrey T Kuhner in the Washington Times.

    Such calls cannot be dismissed as bluster. Over the last decade, we have seen the normalisation of extrajudicial measures once unthinkable, from ‘extraordinary rendition’ (kidnapping) to ‘enhanced interrogation’ (torture).

    In that context, we now have grave concerns for Mr Assange’s wellbeing.

    Irrespective of the political controversies surrounding WikiLeaks, Mr Assange remains entitled to conduct his affairs in safety, and to receive procedural fairness in any legal proceedings against him.

    As is well known, Mr Assange is an Australian citizen.

    We therefore call upon you to condemn, on behalf of the Australian Government, calls for physical harm to be inflicted upon Mr Assange, and to state publicly that you will ensure Mr Assange receives the rights and protections to which he is entitled, irrespective of whether the unlawful threats against him come from individuals or states.

    We urge you to confirm publicly Australia’s commitment to freedom of political communication; to refrain from cancelling Mr Assange's passport, in the absence of clear proof that such a step is warranted; to provide assistance and advocacy to Mr Assange; and do everything in your power to ensure that any legal proceedings taken against him comply fully with the principles of law and procedural fairness.

    THE THEATRE OF NEUTRALISATION 
    Elsewhere, a writer referred to the treatment of Julian Assange as theatre.
    Considered the:
    • dramatic Sweden government leak to press, the European Arrest Warrant, Interpol Red Notice, dramatic British arrest earlier calls for assassination (Nov 2010); and
    • prejudicial statements of heads of government;
    and see for yourself that this was, indeed, a perverse form of theatre. 
    Considering that this was played out on the world stage, on the basis of nothing more than some flimsy and dubious Sweden police 'allegations' (not also irregularities concerning the Sweden 'investigation').
    Not also that this drama was played out, regarding previously legally dismissed and subsequently publicly denied and contradicted 'allegations', coming from Sweden authorities.
    Sweden allegations against Julian Assange and the media circus are pure theatre.
    Theatre such as this - a theatre where global powers are players on the stage - does evolve by accident.

    "In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way."

    This is the spectacle of a high-powered coterie of allied states, participating in a staged, deliberate, determined, concerted, and single-minded assault with the sole aim of:  neutralising Julian Assange (and WikiLeaks), 'enemy combatants', 'cyber terrorists'.
    Assange just happens to be publisher of WikiLeaks, who published whistleblower material, revealing evidence of US war crimes.
    In a sense, US war crimes are also allied war crimes.
    The coterie of Western allied states are all responsible for supporting US foreign policy, invasions, and military aggression around the world. Remember, these are closely allied, predator states.  Ruling Western Mafia states.  A gang of aligned, imperialist, Mafia states, who have acted (and continue to act) cooperatively and globally, on behalf of the interests of their ruling corporate masters (rather than in public interest) - and have historically done so, without a conscience.
    These states long history of exploiting countries, governments and people abroad, for resources and regional strategic aims. These are the powers who have a long history of bringing down democratically elected governments, that often involve orchestrated smear campaigns and have involved both MI6 and CIA arranged, cooperative coups

    Mossadegh had sought to:

    • AIOC is was British corporation (it's now known as BP).
    • alter the terms of AIOC's access to Iranian petroleum reserves.
    • ie - exploited Iran wanted a better deal for its nation.
    • Anglo-Iranian Oil Co refused to co-operate.
      Iran govt voted to:
      1. NATIONALISE the assets of AIOC.
      2. expel company representatives from Iran.
      Britain's MI6- and the CIA simply arranged a coup - on behalf of AIOC (now BP)  & and installed a puppet government that would act in the interests of the imperialists.
      This is not 'conspiracy theory' - this is admitted history.

      Anyone, who cannot connect the dots and see the machinations at work, of bringing down a whistleblower publisher with bogus allegations of 'sexual misconduct,' with intense media smear, with the misuse of European law, with the denial of political asylum (and violation of international law conventions) by way of Ecuador Embassy siege, to neutralise such a 'troublesome' publisher, is either an idiot or a liar.
      Above are the very same global powers that aim to take down Julian Assange and WikiLeaks.

      2.  "... the condom broke in both cases."
      This is incorrect.  There is only ONE broken condom.
      So there's no serial, sharp, condom-breaking 'needle' or 'pyramid' prick (to borrow some of the comedian's terminology) ... lol.
      3.  "... personal policeman."
      The police contact - was both friend and political party associate of Assange's hostess (press secretary for the Sweden Social Democratic Party adjunct, Brotherhood Movement. In that sense, I guess one could say the police contact could, indeed, be construed as 'personal policeman'.  But the police officer in question is actually female.  [more info:  FAQ]
      One final point regarding the comedy video.  I'm really uncomfortable with the title, even in a comedy video.  Assange is not a rapist; he's a politically persecuted journalist/publisher, who was granted political asylum by Ecuador in 2012. 
      Assange is the target of a Sweden, US and UK campaign to decommission him and WikiLeaks, by locking him up for the rest of his life, after extraditing him to the US.  If they're not going for the death penalty ... which is unknown because the US won't say.  The US investigation remains classified.

      Please support Julian Assange

      Well done, whoever wrote that detail rich story in Times of India.
      As this post is getting massively long, will most likely comment on the Times of India article elsewhere. 
      It's an article worth noting, I think, as there are some important details in the article.  And as far as I can see from a quick skim, it looks accurate.

      PINOCHET

      Julian Assange and America's vendetta against WikiLeaks 

      EXTRACT 
      As the contrast with the extradition case of Augusto Pinochet shows, it's one law for whistleblowers, another for war criminals 
      Assange has not been charged with any crime, yet he has been under house arrest in England for close to two years, ever since a European arrest warrant was issued by Sweden (importantly, by a prosecutor, not by a judge). Assange and his supporters allege that the warrant is part of an attempt by the US government to imprison him, or even execute him, and to shut down WikiLeaks. In April 2010, WikiLeaks released a US military video under the title Collateral Murder, with graphic images showing an Apache helicopter unit killing at least 12 Iraqi civilians, including a Reuters cameraman and his driver. In July 2010, WikiLeaks released the Afghan war diary, tens of thousands of secret US military communications that laid out the official record of the violent occupation of Afghanistan, the scale of civilian deaths and likely war crimes. The Swedish arrest warrant followed just weeks later. Chilean dictator Pinochet for torture committed under his rule from 1973 to 1990. Based on Garzon's indictment, Pinochet was arrested in 1998 while travelling in London. After 16 months of hearings, the British courts finally decided that Pinochet could be extradited to Spain. The British government intervened, overruling the court, and allowed him to return to Chile.

      CORRUPTION AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS


      British government intervening on behalf of dictator, torturer and murderer Pinochet, while its police footsoldiers have stood guard inside and outside the Ecuador embassy these last 3 years, holding Assange hostage, pending intended extradition of Assange to the US, to face a life sentence or death penalty, is an absolute outrage and it is perverse beyond belief:  Assange exposed war crimes, while Pinochet committed them with US blessing.
