Wikileaks Founder Arrested In London

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the that-didn't-take-long dept.

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."

    Assange is a piece of shit anyway. Its long since passed that Wikileaks was generically 'good'. And most of its work is damaging free democracy, serving soldiers, and important national and international information that has little to do with information and moch more to do with Assange's ever present hatred of the US, and anything he can dig up to further that political belief.

    Contrary to this, The US and the WEST in general remain the beacon of hope and freedom despite their many failings, and this war on them does not further things like freedom, liberty, freedom of speech. And it certainly provides those who do not believe in those things with information, and intel and I am sick of it.
