Julian Assange May Surrender To British Police On Friday (twitter.com)

bestweasel writes: As reported by The Guardian and others, Julian Assange has announced via Wikileaks that: "Should the UN announce tomorrow that I have lost my case against the United Kingdom and Sweden, I shall exit the embassy at noon on Friday to accept arrest by British police as there is no meaningful prospect of further appeal. ... However, should I prevail and the state parties be found to have acted unlawfully, I expect the immediate return of my passport and the termination of further attempts to arrest me."

Assange went about this all wrong.

1) Claim asylum in Russia.

2) Menage a trois with Snowden and his lover.

3) Pressure from conservative Russians to have them imprisoned for being bum-boys.

4) Putin knows they're too good a fuck-you to the West to bring to harm.

5) Putin, bareback, rides horse, bareback, into Snowden+Assange love shack, figuring that if you can't beat 'em, beat 'em off.

6) Homosexuality in Russia decriminalised.

7) Oligarchs no longer have blackmailable closet secrets on Putin, so he purges them and renationalises the commanding heights of the economy.

8) Putin is more popular than ever.

9) Putin renationalises everything else and rebuilds Soviet command structures.

10) Finland figures it won't get lucky a second time and finally applies to join NATO.

11) Putin pre-emptively overruns Finland and founds a new Union of Soviert Socialist Republics comprising Russia and Finland.

12) Stallman is invited to visit Putin, who is keen to implement a single People's Licence for all Soviet intellectual property, and ends up choosing GPL 3.0. Putin makes Stallman an honorary Russian bear, sealing the deal in his Kremlin bedroom.

13) Torvalds is kidnapped and repatriated to Finland, where he is forced to direct a Russian musical based on Stallman's "The Free Software Song".

Eh my cat's just jumped on my lap I'm tired now.

wikileaks is biased though. Wikileaks has been shown to edit documents and footage to alter their meaning. hiding the originals as they do so.

or did you forget the footage from the iraq they posted a number of years back. the original and the wikileaks version were very different

So she has ties to two anti-Castro groups that get CIA money.

Are there any anti-Castro groups that DON'T get CIA money? I'm pretty sure that I could move to Miami and get some anti-Castro letterhead printed up and get some CIA money.
