Wikileaks Founder Arrested In London

CuteSteveJobs writes "The founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, has been arrested by London police on behalf of Swedish authorities on allegation of rape. Assange has admitted that he is exhausted by the ongoing battle against authorities. The Swiss Government has confiscated $37K in his Swiss Bank account. PayPal and Mastercard have frozen Wikileak's accounts, hampering Wikileaks from raising any more funds."

    Millions of people in the West lead sexually promiscuous appalling lives, and government does not give a flying arrest warrant (or let them free, as Polanski, for example), yet, in the case of the whistle blower, they go all Taliban on his ass.

    Don't get me wrong, J.A. would be rightfully stoned in the Shariah state (in shaa'a Allah, one day it will come here, to US), but in this case much more important that the Western hypocrisy is revealed itself in it's naked promiscuous ugly truth.

    thats what its all about. whores. 'activists' for a long time, 'feminist warriors' .... ending up to be the whores who have given the powers that be, the VERY sources that propagate the male-dominant society, the means to end an effort for truth.

    im calling them whores in front of the public. there are a lot of men who would stomach a rape in the ass so that these kind of filth came out, and truth be known, but these bitches werent able to handle a single man's infidelity.

    curse on their souls, in both sides of this reality. i hope they get treated like whores they are, in this life.

    From the provided link: Earlier this year, Sarah is reported to have posted a telling entry on her website, which she has since removed. But a copy has been retrieved and widely circulated on the internet. Entitled ‘7 Steps to Legal Revenge’, it explains how women can use courts to get their own back on unfaithful lovers. Step 7 says: ‘Go to it and keep your goal in sight. Make sure your victim suffers just as you did.’ (The highlighting of text is Sarah’s own.)

    First, I agree that those are stupid laws you referenced.

    But what I do have to tell you is this. "The problem with the Texas law is that it requires "the average person" to apply their own "standards" (read: right wing christians dictate what's decent; Clearly a loophole bypassing Church/State separation)."

    There is NO law on separation of Church and State, it was in a letter AND it is often used far out of context. The original intent was ONLY to keep the government OUT of church business and NOT the other way around.
