Probably every nation in the world would deny that its actions were influenced by, or ordered by, any other nation.  It’s called “national pride” and the flack over the “leaks” reeks with that.  Truth be damned as long as we can keep our “reputation” and our “honor” unscathed. What WikiLeaks has done is to expose that phoney “honor” and “pride” for what it is—dishonest posturing and pretense in the name of “diplomacy” rather than honest dealing and mutual concern and open agreements.
  The rotten core of the entire apple is the universal acceptance of the idea that “they are dishonest, so we have to be dishonest, too.” The slightest move toward openess and honesty is construed as “betrayal” and “posing a risk to national security.”
  But—the fact is that, the dishonesty is the cause of much of the resulting INsecurity.

OK, Sweden produces some great hockey players and is pretty good when it comes to human rights and gender equality. When it comes to gutsy politicians, however, I don’t see them near the top of the list when it comes to standing up to intergovernmental bullying. After all, weren’t they were the only non-allied Scandinavian country not invaded by Germany in 1940?

The simple fact is we don’t know what kind of deal America has done with Sweden. We don’t know what they’ve been promised for delivering Assange to the corporatocracy and their bought and paid for legal system. And we never will know unless someone leaks it to Wikileaks, the only information source that comes anywhere near telling the truth about anything.

RE: The Swedes are puppets.

quite so - but then so is every player…

WIKILEAKS AS AN ENTERTAINMENT COMMODITY

There is little doubt that the primary purpose of Wikileaks has always been to
clear the way for an attack on Iran.  If one ignores what Zbigniew Brzezniski
calls “seeding” with “pointed intelligence,” what he says is proof Wikileaks is an
intelligence operation, the Wikileaks saga can be appreciated for drama alone. 
Would anyone be surprised to see Assange on Skating with the Stars? After all,
Bristol Palin had a very successful season on Dancing with the Stars and
Assange may actually be a less controversial figure.

Has anyone witnessed a faster international arrest warrant (without charges being framed) and extradition proceedings in a rape case? The Swedes have been sat upon by other governments so please spare us the holier than thou indignation. The Swedes are puppets.

“As far as I know”

Sound f***ing authoritative doesn’t he?

This is all starting to read like one of those Swedish Novels I have been reading. 

How about those coinkydinks….A..!

Geeze, wish I was a politician…. so I could bone up on getting egg on my face!

If they worked this hard to get Osma Bin Laddy, maybe things could have been this keystone copish so we could be laughing about the wars instead of crying.

next act, legend grows:

Revealed: Assange ‘rape’ accuser linked to notorious CIA operative

One of the women accusing WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange of sex crimes
appears to have worked with a group that has connections to the US Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA).

Professor Michael Seltzer pointed out that the group is led by Carlos Alberto
Montaner who is reportedly connected to the CIA.

Sounds like a load of Svenska Shutbullah

Nobody believes this.  Nobody.

Interpol is recruited to post a Red Notice for a man who hasn’t been charged
with one thing, who is wanted for questioning.

He voluntarily turns himself in as soon as there is an arrest warrant—although
Interpol knew his location and could have come got him.

For being cooperative, even asking Swedish authorities for permission to leave
the country, he is denied bail—despite the number of resourceful people
available to post for him.

Right. No U.S. involvement.  This is all because 2 women wanted to screw him
and he obliged them…according to their tweets which they tried to delete (not
understanding how caches work).

Right. No U.S. involvement at all.  If the U.S. is not able to find a legitimate
charge for him, Sweden will treat him worse than Roman Polanski. 

Good thing Bill Clinton wasn’t sexually active in Sweden, isn’t it Hillary?

If you search around a bit you find a lot of uncertainty about the charges of rape, the circumstances, the timing, the refusal to prosecute, the fact that Assange requested time to answer questions in Sweden before he left, but was not given opportunity, the statement that the women “did not want to ” prosecute, and the fact that he was given legal permission to leave Sweded before he went to Britain, etc. etc.

Lögnare, lögnare, byxor brinner!

“Jonas Björk..said the idea that the original rape allegations
were a part of a conspiracy to attack the WikiLeaks founder
stretched credibility.”

Oh bollocks!

Cuban dissidents?  Jeeeez, the CIA hasn’t changed their effing
playbook since 1963, when are the ancient spooks going to
knock off their sh*t?

Oh, probably not if they think they can stop the release of
BANK documents.

I think Sweden will give him a fair shake.

They are not intimidated as easily, diplomatically, financially or militarily as some of other U.S. allies are.

I hope he makes it to trial and beyond.

Complicated? Au contraire mon ami. When the truth about this comes out -AND IT WILL- Mr. Bjork will not just be tipping his hat, he will be sh*tting in it.
