Assange Rape Case Reopened

eldavojohn writes "Wikileaks' Julian Assange had a warrant issued for his arrest in Sweden on the charges of rape. But it was withdrawn shortly thereafter. Now the case has been reopened to investigate 'molestation charges.' On top of that, a new site (parody?) called wikileakileaks.org has been launched by the chief editor of Gawker to give Wikileaks a taste of its own medicine. You can find links to details on the molestation charges there."

    In Sweden everything that a woman can find offensive is a molestation charge. And if they have consentual sex while mutually pissing drunk, then it's rape.

    This is more or less the consequences of senior socialist politicians getting too much power, enabling them to take their reality-detached feminist education pet projects too far.
    The swedish political system is similar to the US. In the us you either chose between the elephant right wing or the donkey right wing. In sweden you chose between the blue socialists or the red socialists, though of course, the red socialists have had two decades in power so they've been able to entrench the country with their north korean style indoctrination for a while now so things are even more stagnated.

    Wikileaks attacks nasty governments all over the world

    So what? So does Al Qaeda. Attacking nasty governments is not inherently a good thing.

    In the case of Wikileaks, the short-term political goal of discrediting the United States is being pushed forward without consideration for the long-term effects on the state of the world. I mean, come on. The US isn't going to pull out of Iraq or Afghanistan (or avoid its next military confrontation, for that matter) just because of Wikileaks. Making the US mission more difficult through leaks of classified information only increases the cost in blood of these military actions. It's the same preposterous logic that Iraqi anti-US insurgents have held, that continuing to blow people up will somehow make the US leave sooner rather than later. Just accept that the US is doing these things, and it will be over a lot sooner and with a lot less pain.

    There's a huge difference between Al Qaeda and Wikileaks -- one is blowing people up, while the other is making sure the government is transparent.

    And which one do you think Obama fears more? One is a convenient foil that will never hurt him while the other is an obvious threat.

    Oh fuck off you anonymous coward. The women consented to fuck him, there is NO such thing as safe sex so let's not muddy the waters with that bullshit. Next you'll be telling me that the consent was based only on missionary position.

    Don't want to feel like a whore? Then don't be one.

    Don't want to have "unsafe sex"? Then don't fuck someone you just met hours ago.

    Take responsibility for your decisions and close your legs and you'll find both of these issues disappear.

    To all the conspiracy theorists out there on this - do you really think the CIA/NSA/Pentagon Special (because their mommy says so) Activities Group couldn't come up with something a little more watertight and less ... rubbish than this? Do you really think they would have any difficulty coming up with an *actual* rape victim if they were behind this? Someone who had a black eye, bruises on their wrists and arms, signs of forced entry, high emotional distress rather than a case that hinges on whether a condom was worn or not?

    This is exactly the type of amateurish crap the three-letter agencies get up to all the time.

    They wouldn't bother going to all the trouble you describe unless they were trying to overthrow a foreign government. Wikileaks is hardly worth the effort.

    For more information on the type of buffoons employed by these agencies, see the documentary film Burn After Reading . Seriously, that movie is closer to real life than most of the audience realizes.
