I can't stand the fact that America and Australia, so-called 'democracies' promoting freedom of speech, seem to think that this kind of behavior is okay - just pulling a host offline, or getting them to pull a website offline despite the fact that it has no morally or publicly harmful content! (I guess governments with image problems would disagree about the 'harmful' content... Lol, did you see Putin's emergency patch-me-up interview with Larry King, after Assange's leak about what the American diplomats said about Russia? LOL. Everyone in politics is working on overdrive to repair the damage caused by Assange's leaks! Heheheh...)
I also can't believe that stupid, trumped-up sex crime charge they're trying to use as an excuse to order Interpol to hunt Mr. Assange down with,
EVEN THOUGH THE CHARGES HAVE ALREADY BEEN DROPPED, BECAUSE THEY WERE TOTALLY BOGUS. As
this newspaper reveals (there are others, just Google it), the apparent 'crime' Mr. Assange has committed is having consensual sex with an adult woman... without a condom. OMG, NO CONDOM! OFF TO JAIL WITH YOU! Sheesh. Plus, it's not like someone already on the run and someone with an IQ as high as Assange's would be stupid enough to risk exposure by engaging in potentially criminal behavior. The timing of the accusations is also way too convenient... You can pay anyone to 'accuse' someone else! And it's not even a 'crime' that you sleep with women that
want to sleep with you. WHICH IS WHY THE CHARGES WERE DROPPED.
Does it not even
matter if a man is innocent before you get Interpol to chase him down? Then again, given the website hosting issue,
obviously, constitutional laws regarding free speech are meaningless, too. Who cares about the law or about truth when you're hunting down an innocent man who is only trying to expose corrupt governments? Obviously, it doesn't matter
to the corrupt governments. Because they're corrupt. You know.
Sigh...
Stay safe and stay well, Mr. Assange. I can only imagine how many governments, intelligence agencies and assassins are after you... I guess that's the sacrifice a hero is willing to make, but please, keep yourself safe, sir. For all our sakes.
