The strange tale of a dating site’s attacks on WikiLeaks founder Assange

October 27, 2016 5:43 PM

By Tim Johnson

tjohnson@mcclatchydc.com


WASHINGTON

For an online dating site, toddandclare.com seems really good at cloak-and-dagger stuff. Disconnected phones. Mystery websites. Actions that ricochet around the globe.

But the attention grabber is the Houston-based company’s target: Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, whose steady dumps of leaked emails from Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign have given supporters of Donald Trump the only cheering news of the last few weeks.

[Read the latest update on this story.]

[RELATED: Internet cutoff is just the latest trouble for WikiLeaks’ Assange]

In some ways, toddandclare.com’s campaign against Assange is as revelatory as the leaked emails themselves, illustrating the powerful, sometimes unseen, forces that oppose WikiLeaks.

Whoever is behind the dating site has marshaled significant resources to target Assange, enough to gain entry into a United Nations body, operate in countries in Europe, North America and the Caribbean, conduct surveillance on Assange’s lawyer in London, obtain the fax number of Canada’s prime minister and seek to prod a police inquiry in the Bahamas.

And they’ve done it at a time when WikiLeaks has become a routine target of Democratic politicians who portray Assange as a stooge of Russian President Vladimir Putin and his reported efforts to disrupt the U.S. election.

TISA - IMPOSING CORPORATE WISH LISTS by UNDEMOCRATIC MEANS





ministry of tokyo








TISA
IMPOSING
CORPORATE WISH LISTS
by UNDEMOCRATIC MEANS







SUMMARY


SUMMARY from SOURCE
https://systemicdisorder.wordpress.com/2017/02/08/TiSA-worse-than-tpp/

TITLE


TPP is not dead: 

It’s now called the Trade In Services Agreement (TiSA)


Trans-Pacific Partnership
or the so-called “free trade” regime

is NOT buried

countries involved in negotiating the TPP
ARE seeking to find ways to RESURRECT it in NEW FORM

TPP 
remains alive in a NEW FORM
with EVEN WORSE RULES

Trade In Services Agreement
even more secret than the Trans-Pacific Partnership
And more dangerous

Trade In Services Agreement (TiSA)
being negotiated among 50 countries
to:
-- prohibit regulations on the financial industry
-- eliminate laws to safeguard online or digital privacy
-- render illegal any “buy local” rules at any level of government
-- effectively dismantle public advantages derived from state-owned enterprises
-- eliminate net neutrality

TiSA negotiations began in April 2013
 / gone through 21 rounds

we only know what’s in it because of leaks:

1. earlier ones published by WikiLeaks
2. new cache published January 29 by Bilaterals.org

Earlier draft versions of TiSA’s language would PROHIBIT any restrictions on:

-- the size, expansion (or entry) of FINANCIAL companies
-- ban on new REGULATIONS
-- incl. a specific ban on any law that separates COMMERCIAL and INVESTMENT banking
-- ie. equivalent of the U.S. Glass-Steagall Act

it would BAN restrictions on:

-- transfer of any data collected (incl. across borders);
-- placing social security systems at risk of privatization or elimination;
-- ending Internet privacy and net neutrality;

TiSA is the backup plan in event of failure to implement:
--  Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP)
-- Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP)

Parties to reconvene 2017, according to Australian govt statement
however:
governmental trade offices negotiating TiSA have not announced the next negotiating date
~ potentially as a precaution [circumvention], in effort to avoid the spotlight on FREE TRADE that derailed TPP

Cover story for why TiSA is being negotiated is that it would uphold the right to hire the accountant or engineer of your choice
- in reality is intended to enable:
- the FINANCIAL industry
- and INTERNET companies
- to run roughshod over countries around the WORLD


LIBERALISATION 'PROFESSIONAL SERVICES' > MANUFACTURING

“liberalization” of PROFESSIONAL services is being promoted
-- DEFINITION of “services” is being EXPANDED in order to stretch the category to encompass MANUFACTURING


Deborah James
Centre for Economy and Policy Research
re: scope of this proposal:

“Corporations no longer consider setting up a plant and producing goods to be simply ‘manufacturing goods.’ 

activity is now is BROKEN DOWN into:

-- research and development services
-- design services
-- legal services
-- real estate services
-- architecture services
-- engineering services
-- construction services
-- energy services
-- employment contracting services
-- consulting services
-- manufacturing services
-- adult education services
-- payroll services
-- maintenance services
-- refuse disposal services
-- warehousing services
-- data management services
-- telecommunications services
-- audiovisual services
-- banking services
-- accounting services
-- insurance services
-- transportation services
-- distribution services
-- marketing services
-- retail services
-- postal and expedited delivery services
-- and after-sales servicing
-- [plus more]


WORLD'S governments,
on behalf of multi-national CAPITAL
are DENYING the public INFORMATION

-- many have neglected to update their official pages re TiSA in MONTHS

Following are negotiating TiSA:

-- European Union (on behalf of its 28 member countries)
-- United States
-- Canada
-- Mexico
-- Australia
-- New Zealand
-- Japan
-- South Korea
-- Taiwan
-- Chile
-- Colombia
-- Peru
-- Norway
-- Switzerland
-- Pakistan and Turkey


New TRUMP admin is SILENT re TiSA


USA - Office of the U.S. Trade Representative web site still says:



TiSA is part of 

the Obama Administration’s ongoing effort


to create economic opportunity for U.S. workers and businesses by expanding trade opportunities.”


President Donald Trump
is NOT against “free trade” deals
Trump: claims he can do it better
-- issued blustery calls for “fair deals”
-- braggadocio puffing up Donald Trump’s supposed negotiating prowess

typical White House passage:


To carry out his strategy, the President is appointing the toughest and smartest to his trade team, ensuring that Americans have the best negotiators possible. For too long, trade deals have been negotiated by, and for, members of the Washington establishment.”


DENIAL of INFORMATION typical of the TiSA negotiators

-- made good progress in working towards ...
-- finding pathways towards solving ... outstanding issues
-- conducted a stocktaking session to assess ... progress
-- agreed to a comprehensive stocktake of the negotiations

in addition to:

discredited, boilerplate public-relations puffery, offered by various government trade offices


one hint that TiSA negotiations are experiencing difficulty

U.S. Congressional Research Service report (January 3, 2017)


" ... U.S. position
under a new administration is unclear, 

the parties canceled the planned December 2016 meeting ...

but ... meeting to determine ... to move forward in 2017"




M.U.B.A. 
MAKE UNRESTRICTED BANKING AGAIN

TRUMP admin 
moving quickly to ELIMINATE:

Tepid 
DODD-FRANK ACT financial-industry reforms





TiSA’s provisions to dismantle financial regulation globally would not be a problem at all


THAT talks are not progressing at the present
-- does not mean the world can relax
-- it took years of cross-border organizing & popular education to stop the TPP
-- this effort will have to replicated if TiSA is to be HALTED

Bilaterals.org
COMMENTARY accompanying publication of several TiSA chapters stresses
-- Trans-Pacific Partnership, despite its apparent defeat
-- is being used as the MODEL for the: Trade In Services Agreement
-- thus risk of the TPP becoming the “new norm”

“Several proposed texts from the failed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement have been transferred to TiSA — incl. ...

-- STATE-owned enterprises
-- rights to hold data OFFSHORE (incl. financial data)
-- e-commerce
-- prohibitions on PERFORMANCE requirements for foreign investors

TiSA
-- texts originated with the United States
-- supported by other parties to the TPP / even governments
-- reluctant to agree to same in the TPP
-- no longer bound by TPP
suggests the TPP may become the new norm
DESPITE only having been ratified in two of the 12 countries
-- done on the basis of U.S. participation that no longer applies
-- TPP cannot be allowed to become
-- the new ‘default’ position for these flawed agreements”

1. most extreme measures have been dropped (at least for now)
2. much of the text is not agreed

Bilaterals.org reports:

-- effectiveness of opposition to TiSA
-- has led governments to conclude they CANNOT SELL
   some of the more extreme proposals
-- thus dropped from previous leaked texts

BUT
-- fetters on the rights and responsibilities of governments
   to REGULATE in the INTERESTS of citizens
-- would still go FURTHER than ANY single other agreement
-- no improvements on:

-- inadequate protections for HEALTH
-- inadequate protections for ENVIRONMENT
-- inadequate protections for PRIVACY
-- inadequate protections for WORKERS
-- inadequate protections for HUMAN RIGHTS
-- inadequate protections for ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

NOTHING to prevent DEVELOPING countries
-- becoming even more vulnerable and dependent
-- in an already unequal and unfair global economy

TiSA
would PROHIBIT developing countries
-- from adopting MEASURES that countries like the United States
-- used to facilitate industrial development (19th century)

Sanya Reid Smith
Third World Network
international coalition specializing in development issues
in an analysis for WikiLeaks:

“[T]he proposals in this text RESTRICT the ability of developing countries to USE the development paths taken by many of the developed TiSA countries ...

-- developed countries ‘kicking away the ladder’ after they have climbed up
-- to prevent developing countries from developing the same way

-- in TiSA, the USA is proposing restrictions on host countries
-- being able to require senior managers be CITIZENS of the host country
-- BUT as capital importer, the USA had the OPPOSITE law:
-- 1885 USA contract labour law PROHIBITED the import of foreign workers
-- USA required senior managers (and all other staff) be Americans
-- ie. increasing the chances of skills being passed to locals


TiSA
-- proposals are more extreme than language in existing bilateral trade agreements
-- many of TiSA’s provisions are lifted from TPP
-- some go beyond TiSA’s already extreme proposals
-- eg. the ENTIRE ELIMINATION of REGULATIONS of ANY kind against the FINANCIAL INDUSTRY
- Article 14 of TiSA’s annex on financial services:
- had contained the most explicit language prohibiting regulation (removed)
- Article 9 of TiSA’s annex on financial services:
- still contains language requiring NO LIMITATIONS beyond those applying to DOMESTIC financial firms
- a smaller country
-- would be required to allow a giant bank from a bigger country
-- to TAKE OVER ITS ENTIRE BANKING SYSTEM

REGULATIONS against financial derivatives YET to be invented would be ILLEGAL

Public Citizen
analysis:

“TiSA would require governments to allow any new financial products and services — including ones not yet invented — to be sold within their territories.

The TiSA Annex on Financial Services clearly states that TiSA governments ‘shall permit’ foreign-owned firms to introduce any new financial product or service, so long as it does not require a new law or a change to an existing law.”

- Article 21 of TiSA’s annex on financial services:
- requires that any government that offers financial products through its postal service
- LESSEN the QUALITY of its products
- so that those are NO better than what PRIVATE CORPORATIONS offer


CAUSE FOR ALARM
Article 1 of the financial-services annex states:

-- activities forming part of a statutory system of social security or public retirement plans
-- are specifically covered by TiSA
-- as are
- activities conducted by a CENTRAL BANK or monetary authority
- or by ANY OTHER PUBLIC ENTITY in pursuit of monetary or exchange-rate policies

CAUSE FOR ALARM
-- social security or other public retirement systems are covered
-- & could be judged to be “illegally competing” with PRIVATE financial enterprises

CAUSE FOR ALARM
-- central banks could be CONSTRAINED from actions to shore up economies (during a future financial crisis)
-- if banks decide such measures “constrain” their massive PROFITEERING off the crisis

CAUSE FOR ALARM
Article 10 of the annex:
-- continues to explicitly ban restrictions on the transfer of information
-- in “electronic or other form”
-- of any “financial service supplier”

ie.

DATA TRANSFER OFF-SHORE / PRIVACY LAWS NULL & VOID
-- EU laws guarding privacy
-- that stop US-based Internet companies from taking data outside the EU
-- to circumvent such privacy laws would be null and void

-- laws instituting privacy protections > would be PROHIBITED BEFORE they could be enacted


CAUSE FOR ALARM
-- if enacted, could also provide a boon to companies like Uber
-- whose MO is to CIRCUMVENT LOCAL LAWS

Bilaterals.org analysis:

“The main thrust of TiSA comes through ...

-- e-commerce
-- telecommunications
-- financial services
-- localisation rules
-- commitments to allow UNFETTERED cross-border supply of services

COLLECTIVELY WOULD EMPOWER
-- global platforms who hold big data, like Google, without effective privacy protections
-- tech companies like Uber
who have become notorious for evading national regulation
- paying minimal tax
- exploiting so-called self-employed workers

TiSA simply fuel to the bonfire re: backlash against global deals for global corporations


language of TiSA, like all “free trade” agreements
-- dry and legalistic
-- HOW these rules are interpreted is what ultimately matters
-- TiSA requires:
- arbitration by judges possessing “requisite knowledge”

ie. the usual lineup of corporate lawyers
WHO REPRESENT CORPORATIONS in these TRIBUNALS
will switch hats to sit in JUDGEMENT

TRIBUNALS used to settle these “investor-state disputes”
-- are held in SECRET
-- with no ACCOUNTABILITY
-- wiht no APPEAL

INTENTION of “free trade” agreements is to elevate corporations to the level of governments
however, they raise corporations ABOVE the level of governments
1. only INVESTORS can sue
2. governments CANNOT sue
3. individuals/public CANNOT sue

4. INVESTORS can sue governments to overturn any law or regulation / they claim will hurt PROFITS
5. INVESTORS can sue governments to overturn any law or regulation / they claim will hurt POTENTIAL FUTURE PROFITS

6. government (TAXPAYERS)
- ordinarily has to pay MILLIONS of dollars in COSTS
- even in rare instances when they win one of these cases

each “free trade” agreement has a key provision elevating corporations above governments
-- codifies the “equal treatment” of business interests in accordance with INTERNATIONAL LAW
-- enables corporations to SUE over ANY regulation or other government act that violates “investor rights”
-- ie. any REGULATION or LAW that may PREVENT the corporation from extracting the MAXIMUM possible PROFIT

thus:

-- taxation and regulation constitute “indirect expropriation”

!! mandating COMPENSATION !!

-- reduction in the VALUE of an asset is sufficient to establish EXPROPRIATION
(rather than a physical taking of property as required under customary law)

!! mandating COMPENSATION !!


TRIBUNAL DECISIONS
-- become PRECEDENTS for further EXPANSIONS of INVESTOR “rights”
-- thus constitute the “evolving standard of investor rights”
-- required under “free trade” agreements
-- TiSA contains the usual passages requiring “equal treatment”




I M P O S I N G


CORPORATE WISH LISTS

by:  UNDEMOCRATIC MEANS


!! “free trade” deals ... much to do with IMPOSING CORPORATE WISH LISTS through UNDEMOCRATIC means !!

-- elimination of any meaningful regulations for:
-- labour
-- safety
-- health
-- environment

TiSA is another route to imposing MORE of this agenda


Working people around the world scored a major victory in stopping the TPP, at least in its current form.

Capital never rests; nor can we.

Here we have class warfare in naked fashion ...

THERE IS NO DOUBT on which side the capitalist world’s governments lie

FAKE NEWS

The Guardian caught with its Fake News pants down

> engaged in contemptible attempt to DISCREDIT  brave truth-teller, award-winning Aussie journalist and publisher, JULIAN ASSANGE


SOURCE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNPUewpOWJs


Mark Crispin Miller
prof. Media Studies - NYU

teaches students to think critically about the media

The Guardian
flagship outlet of 'liberal' media, Britain & USA
ran piece highlighting two bald-faced lies:

That Julian Assange:

1. praised Trump, expressed optimism re Trump presidency

2. described Russia as marketplace of ideas with tremendous amount of free expression


THE GUARDIAN CLAIMS BORE NO RELATION to interview that THE GUARDIAN was purporting to paraphrase
interview - Assange with Italian journalist, STEFANIA MAURIZI

STEFANIA MAURIZI tweeted / outraged
>  message was almost completely ignored

meanwhile, THE GUARDIAN article, has been tweeted & reprinted

& basically heralded the world over

*hundreds of thousands of unsuspecting members of the public THE WORLD OVER now have picked up the PROPAGANDA from THE GUARDIAN

& are convinced that Assange said these things, which were calculated to defame Assange, according to Prof. Mark Crispin Miller

> so as to discredit truth-telling Aussie journalist, JULIAN ASSANGE

LATEST PROPAGANDA salvo to demonise Assange & to punish him for his truth-telling

RT reporter:  We are hearing term 'fake news' is this to help us distinguish or other reasons?


Mark Crispin Miller
prof. Media Studies - NYU

'Fake News' is a serious problem
> not b/c there is fringe outlets that post falsehoods

Fake News is a problem b/c the CORPORATE PRESS itself pumps out so much of it [ie. WESTERN CORPORATE PRESS/MEDIA FAKE NEWS]

these claims in THE GUARDIAN are just one example of FAKE NEWS that has been propagated as  truth

Mark Crispin Miller
prof. Media Studies - NYU
>  cannot begin to even catalogue all the nuggets of FAKE NEWS that have been used to keep the war in Syria going

RT reporter:

STEFANIA MAURIZI, who did interview with Assange, has protested that THE GUARDIAN deliberately distorted her interview with Assange
>  like you said, it was a bald-faced LIE

BUT why has the press chosen to IGNORE this Italian journalist's protest, even as they re-tweet the false claims in THE GUARDIAN?


Mark Crispin Miller
prof. Media Studies - NYU

Why would they pay attention to her attempt to set the record straight, since what we're talking about here is clearly a DELIBERATE PROPAGANDA EFFORT to DEFAME JULIAN ASSANGE and with no concern for accuracy, truth or any of that old fashioned stuff.

Why would they mention the actual objections of the journalist that did the interview with him:  it would defeat the whole purpose of this FAKE NEWS EFFORT TO ATTACK ASSANGE and to add to the long list of attacks on him, over the last few years.

American Capitalist Oligarchy's War on Yemen






WikiLeaks




YEMEN FILES RELEASE



25 November 2016
https://wikileaks.org/yemen-files/releases/


Hillary Rodham Clinton
Sec State - 2009-2013


DISPLACED:  3.15 million persons internally in YEMEN

USG provided most bombs & is involved in conduct of war in Yemen

strategic value:  Yemen controls choke point to Red Sea + Suez canal
(world 11% petroleum shipments daily)

Yemen access to ARABIAN SEA
another 20% of world's petroleum shipments
from:  Strait of Hormuz
incl. oil of SAUDI ARABIA and IRAN

(bordering countries:  Saudi Arabia & Oman)

SAUDI ARABIA attempts to control a port in YEMEN
as means of avoiding potential of IRAN being capable of restricting oil shipments
in future along STRAIT OF HORMUZ
(or by countries that can control SAUDI ARABIA oil shipments along Red Sea)

YEMEN FILES - show documentary EVIDENCE of:
USA:  arming, training & funding Yemen - years ahead of war
USA sold:
*aircraft
*vessels
*vehicles
*US biometric systems

2015 - US closed its embassy  / continuing unrest between different factions

war broke out in Yemen within a month


25 November 2016
https://wikileaks.org/yemen-files/releases/



https://www.rt.com/usa/368205-yemen-us-military-wikileaks/


YEMEN FILES - 2009-2015
WikiLeasks release docs:  US embassy in Sana’a, Yemen
cover Hillary Rodham Clinton & John Kerry (2 years) - terms as as US Sec. of State

2010 - Aug. Defence Dept. presentation
lays out a detailed plan for equipping the Yemeni government with arms
> by:
US FOREIGN MILITARY FINANCING (FMF) PROGRAM
> + other “security assistance programs”

RISK:   mounting costs for the US (ie already burdened US taxpayer)

NOTE:  increasing expenses on the training, maintenance and upgrades required to use them
follows:   initial US taxpayer funded non-refundable $147-MILLION 'donation' outlay for weapons to Yemen

CLAIMED AIM:

Yemen “a stable state where violent extremists cannot operate”
   + “to limit the regional impacts of terrorism, trafficking and piracy”
COMMENT:  in my view this is really about gaining and maintaining power/ DOMINANCE:
ie. Prevent internal and external armed & other opposition to US oligarchy & allied interests (Saudi, Gulf Arab, Israeli, British & EU) in the region and internally in Yemen

ESTIMATED COST of US military supplies to Yemen:  $147 million

RISK:  arms could potentially be used “for other purposes counter to US interests”  eg.

1.  against Houthi rebels in northern Yemen
2.  against secessionists in south of Yemen

YEMEN ECONOMY is in such poor stated, US govt funds are:  NON-REPAYABLE LOANS
COMMENT
& ordinary US taxpayers are therefore the wage-slaves that are lumbered with the costs of this arms funding - while the arms manufacturing oligarchs profit, and the oil industry oligarchs profit from this taxpayer-funded investment
US taxpayer enslavement pays for this, however long it takes, in an America that is TRILLIONS in debt to private bankers
Meanwhile, Yemen, with a really poor economy is being flooded with weapons instead of the US using some of those same resources in helping Yemen increase agricultural and other production, as needed to improve living contentions in the country.

Almost all money spent 'helping' is spent on arming the Yemen military
GIVEN by USA in non-repayable loans from US government funds (ie. US taxpayer resources)

2002 to 2008:  US gave the Yemeni government over $105m worth of weapons
  • via  non-repayable grants and donations

program: International Military Education and Training (IMET)
sends 20-25 Yemeni military students to various military schools in the US
funded to the tune of about $1 million p.a.
>  very effective return on investment “for advancing US diplomatic or policy goals
>  ie.  advancing US CAPITALIST RULING OLIGARCHY GOALS

TRUE TO FORM
WESTERN PRESS is largely silent re the US & ALLIED CAPITALIST RULING OLIGARCHY war on Yemen

UNDEMOCRATIC SWEDEN RULING ELITE CORRUPT SCUMBAGS & LIARS DETAIN AUSTRALIAN JOURNALIST-PUBLISHER

Australia, ABC


Sweden should promise Julian Assange will not be extradited if he faces justice, Ecuador's FM says
http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-11-18/ecuador-says-sweden-should-promise-assange-wont-be-extradited/8036170

"Ecuador's Foreign Minister says WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange should receive guarantees that he will not be extradited to the US ..."

"if he faces justice"  > Faces trumped up CORRUPT Swedish police & state allegations & a kangaroo court behind closed doors 'trial' +  US extradition with no guarantee of safety from  FURTHER POLITICAL PERSECUTION, as an Australian whistleblower journalist-publisher of WikiLeaks

"four years of living in"  > UNDEMOCRATIC DETENTION OF WESTERN JOURNALIST-PUBLISHER, ASSANGE:  DEPRIVATION OF LIBERTY, VARIOUS LOSS - INCLUDING DETRIMENT TO HEALTH / + TORTURE CONDITIONS, BY BRITISH & SWEDISH CORRUPT STATES

"fled to embassy" > SOUGHT & GRANTED POLITICAL ASYLUM FROM:  UNDEMOCRATIC POLITICAL PERSECUTION & THREAT TO SAFETY, LIBERTY ETC. / TARGET OF CORRUPT, WAR CRIMINAL US-UK WAR CRIMINAL CAPITALIST EMPIRE

"where he could face prison for leaking US secrets" > AUSSIE JOURNALIST, ASSANGE, PUBLISHED WHISTELBOWER MATERIAL ... HE DID NOT 'LEAK'

"it would not be possible to offer Mr Assange or Ecuador a guarantee"  >  LOOK AT HOW THESE LAWLESS SCUMBAGS MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO MANIFEST CONTRAVENTION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW, TO UNDEMOCRATICALLY DETAIN FOR 6 YEARS WITHOUT CHARGE, AN AUSTRALIAN JOURNALIST-PUBLISHER ON LUDICROUS TRUMPED UP 'ALLEGATIONS' OF SWEDISH AUTHORITIES BY CORRUPT SWEDISH, BRITISH, AUSTRALIAN & USA POWERS, WHILE THE SAME CONSPIRATORS IGNORE THE UN PANEL DECISION THAT PROCLAIMS THEIR DETENTION OF THIS AUSTRALIAN JOURNALIST UNLAWFUL

"Sweden has not been asked by the United States to extradite him"  >  WERE THIS TRUE, WHICH I DO NOT BELIEVE, SO WHAT?  REQUEST FOR GUARANTEE IS A REASONABLE REQUEST MADE TO ENSURE SAFETY OF THIS JOURNALIST TARGET OF POLITICAL PERSECUTION & SHOULD NOT BE PREDICATED UPON OFFICIAL NARRATIVE CONCERNING THE ULTIMATE PERSECUTOR:  U.S. GOVERNMENT - THE AGENT OF CAPITALIST OLIGARCHY'S EMPIRE

"It would actually breach the constitution ..." [guarantee in advance]
- Cecilia Riddselius of the Swedish Ministry of INJUSTICE
SWEDEN IS FULL OF CRAP ... before, their story was:


Former Foreign Minister Carl Bildt declared to Human-Rights lawyer Jennifer Robinson that Sweden “couldn’t give that guarantee; that it’s a judicial process.”
Analysis shows that Sweden’s stance on the ‘legal impossibility of giving non-extradition guarantees’ is fallacious.

http://theindicter.com/swedens-argument-for-refusing-to-issue-non-extradition-guarantees-to-mr-assange-is-fallacious-and-hides-real-commitment-to-the-u-s-analysis/

Sweden’s extradition treaty with the United States explicitly prohibits political and military extraditions.
https://justice4assange.com/US-Extradition.html
I'M NOT ABOUT TO WASTE MY TIME READING SWEDISH CONSTITUTIONAL LAW ... WITH THE CHANGING NARRATIVE OF SWEDEN, THE DELAY OF SWEDEN (IE. 6 YEARS SO FAR ETC) AND WITH THE EVIDENCE AGAINST ALL SWEDISH AUTHORITY CLAIMS AND COMMON SENSE FACTORS THAT POINT TO POLITICAL PERSECUTION OF THIS JOURNALIST
MY MONEY IS ON:  SWEDISH LEOPARD DOES NOT CHANGE ITS SPOTS. 
THIS IS JUST MORE OF THE CORRUPT SWEDISH SHUFFLE, THAT HAS THIS JOURNALIST ILLEGALLY AND UNDEMOCRATICALLY DETAINED ON BEHALF OF POLITICAL PERSECUTOR & SWEDEN PARTNER IN CRIME, US-ANGLO CAPITALIST OLIGARCHY.
THE CORRUPT STATE CAN AFFORD TO PREVARICATE FOR AS LONG AS IT TAKES TO BREAK ASSANGE, WHILE HIS PHYSICAL AND MENTAL HEALTH DETERIORATES UNDER PRESSURE OF 24/7 POLICE GUARD & SURVEILLANCE COSTING MANY MILLIONS OF POUNDS, RISK EXTRADITION AND DENIAL OF MEDICAL TREATMENT AND FRESH AIR, SUNLIGHT ETC., IN WHAT HAS BEEN A 6-YEAR IMPRISONMENT OF THIS JOURNALIST (OVER 4 IN CLOSE CONFINEMENT, RESEMBLING HIGH SECURITY CONFINEMENT THAT HAS BEEN SHOWN TO IMPACT DETRIMENTALLY ON DETAINEES IN A NUMBER OF RESPECTS).

THE GOVERNMENT OF SWEDEN AND ITS JUDICIARY ARE CRIMINALS, AS ARE THAT OF UNITED KINGDOM.

WE ARE WITNESSING POLITICAL PERSECUTION OF AN AUSTRALIAN JOURNALIST.  IT IS A GROSS, CRIMINAL ABUSE OF CIVIL LIBERTIES WE TAKE FOR GRANTED, AN ABUSE OF JUSTICE AND OF DEMOCRACY. IT IS POLITICAL OPPRESSION.
P.S.  -  JERUSALEM POST POINTS OUT THAT SWEDEN GOVERNMENT HAS LIKELY BREACHED ITS CONSTITUTION BY TAKING THE UNUSUAL STEP  OF HAVING KING INTERVENE ON BEHALF OF THE GOVERNMENT, IN ATTEMPT TO SMOOTH OVER RELATIONS WITH SAUDI ARABIA, BY LETTER, AFTER THE 'FEMINIST FOREIGN POLICY' BLUNDER, THAT PROBABLY NETTED THEIR ALLY AND FELLOW ARMS DEALER, USA, A NICE PROFIT IN SAUDI ARMS SALES.
