Julian Assange
The arrest warrant issued in Sweden, against
the 44-year-old Wikileaks website founder, Julian Assange,
has been upheld. Assange is currently holed up in the
Ecuadorian embassy in London, England and risks arrest if he
leaves the property. The Australian whistleblower, ran afoul
of the U.S. government, after leaking documents revealing
widespread criminal conduct emanating from the White House.
CNN reports Assange's attorney stated, "In
defiance of the U.N.'s order to release Mr. Assange,
Sweden's lowest court is keeping him detained. We are
appealing and are confident Sweden's higher courts will
finally put an end to this terrible injustice, which has
seen Mr. Assange held without charge, for the last five and
half years."
The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
engaged a woman in Sweden to make false rape charges against
Assange, as a means of "neutralizing" him regarding the
document and video leaks that revealed criminal misconduct
by the U.S. government under former president, George W.
Bush and incumbent, Barack Obama. The two women in question
sensationally went to police, on the CIA's orders and
claimed Assange raped them two days apart in separate
incidences. They claim they initially willingly had sex with
him separately, but he was rough and AFTERWARD they wanted
him to stop. The cases are pure garbage.
There are cases where a woman told a man no
before sexual penetration, but he raped her anyway. That is
a crime. It is even being stated some women have told a man
no during penetration having changed their mind, which in
itself is somewhat suspect, but if a woman tells a man to
stop midstream, he should do so. However, to tell a man stop
penetrating you AFTER sex is crazy. It makes no sense. You
willingly and consensually engage in sex with a man,
complete the act, then afterwards change your mind. That's
complete rubbish. That is not rape.
While Wikileaks took a massive risk in
making document dumps, as it had no legal authority to leak
documents belonging to others, it is considered whistle
blowing, as it revealed criminal conduct by the government.
If the U.S. government sought to prosecute Assange, they
should have done so through the proper channels, rather than
resort to criminally framing someone for rape.

Swedish court upholds Julian Assange arrest warrant
Updated 1302 GMT (2102 HKT) May 25, 2016 -
(CNN) A Swedish court on Wednesday upheld the arrest warrant
of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, with a Swedish
prosecutor saying there's still probable cause to prosecute
him on a rape allegation and that "the risk of him evading
justice is still large." Assange's legal team immediately
issued its own statement, saying it will appeal to a higher
court.
While the legal back-and-forth continues,
Assange apparently will remain in the Ecuadorian Embassy in
London, which granted him political asylum in June 2012.
He's wanted in Sweden on rape allegations, and the United
Kingdom arrested him in 2010. He has said he's afraid that
if he leaves the embassy, he could end up being extradited
and facing the death penalty in the United States over
allegations of revealing government secrets through his
site, WikiLeaks...
WikiLeaks rose to fame posting confidential
items such as the U.S. military manual on handling prisoners
at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, documents from the Church of
Scientology, emails from Sarah Palin and pager messages in
New York from 9/11. But the website gained worldwide
attention in 2010 when it published hundreds of thousands of
pages of classified documents related to U.S. wars in
Afghanistan and Iraq.
