-BREAKING NEWS: Julian Assange released on bail
As we all know, Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange, handed himself over to London police last week to answer a European arrest warrant from Sweden, who wants to question him about alleged sex crimes. He was granted bail on Tuesday (14-Dec-2010) but remained behind bars due to the Swiss prosecutor`s immediate appeal against the decision.
Meanwhile, Wikileaks` release of thousands of secret U.S. diplomatic and military documents is under criminal review in the United States. The website angered U.S. authorities last month by publishing the first of some 250,000 confidential U.S. diplomatic cables and the website continues to publish more and more cables daily. Amazon, PayPal, Mastercard and other companies and banks have ceased their relations with Wikileaks and Julian Assange, which gave way to computer hacker groups who are are targeting those same companies. The groups are thought to be supporters of Wikileaks and Julian Assange.
The whole ordeal with Julian Assange begs the question and thought, is this an ongoing conspiracy against exposing or uncovering the truth? Whenever there is government opposition to anything, those who voice their concerns, those who advocate and bring forth the truth against the government - they are targeted, and targeted in a specific way to demoralize them, discredit their reputation and eventually wreck their lives - by essentially blasting them with sex charges. Its always a sex charge when you think about it, which not only will it tarnish a person`s reputation but ties them up in legal limbo for as long it takes.
For example, remember Scott Ritter, former chief U.N. weapons inspector in Iraq, who was a very outspoken vocal critic of the Iraq war and the U.S. goverment, whose voiced his opposition to the 2003 Iraq war invasion and publicly said many times that Iraq did not have WMD`s and did not pose a threat. Immediately there after, sex charges against Scott Ritter appeared. Since 2001, Ritter has been arrested and subsequently released twice on charges related to sexual exploitation of minors.
Another comes to mind - Eliot Spitzer, former NY attorney general and governor who went up to challenge the big banks and Wall Street and said, "hey I`m going to stop your crimes, fraud and insider trading...etc". All of a sudden, sex charges against Spitzer coming from a bank - "oh he spent this amount of money, maybe the federal government should look into it - oh well will you look at that, its for a hooker".
And now a day after Julian Assange released the first leaks of the diplomatic cables, sex charges against him were announced. Surely, this can all be a wonderful coincidence but really it can`t be. All of a sudden, now there`s a great "interest" in pursuing these sex charges by the Swiss government?
Time will tell if the truth is truly free, till then it seems the truth comes at a heavy cost.
