Assange Reneges on Extradition Promise

https://www.yahoo.com/news/lawyers-...tradition-us-not-met-185144483--politics.html

Julian Assange has gone back on his promise to turn himself over to the United States, after he asserted that he would do so last week, if the US were to pardon Chelsea Manning. He has made several excuses to why he will break his pledge, siting the fact, that Manning was not immediately released, though he never asked for her release to be immediate.

"If Obama grants Manning clemency Assange will agree to US extradition despite clear unconstitutionality of DoJ case."

Never thought he would he would anyway

 

In exchange for telling the truth about what our government is doing (NSA spying), we want to throw you in prison for life.

 

Well I don't put much into what rapists say

 

Or the guy who made YouTube video that incited an uprising in Benghazi.

I don't know why you'd trust governments that trump up charges (SIC) against civilians to cover up the government lies and failures.

 

Maybe he will after Trump is in office.

 

Oh my.

On 5 February 2016, it was announced by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights that the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention had found that Assange is effectively being held in arbitrary detention by the UK and Swedish governments in an opinion written by two members of the five-member panel (another dissented, one had to recuse themselves because they - like Assange - was Australian, while the fifth spot was not filled).[76]High Commissioner Zeid Ra'ad al Hussein stated later the same month that the opinion is based on binding international law, but is not itself binding.[77]

Neither woman ever claimed, initially, that she was “raped” by Mr. Assange—rape being våldtäkt in Swedish, but both spoke of the sex being unpleasant. They both concealed their distaste for how it had transpired—that’s usually what women do. In the case of Ms. Ardin, she kept him as a houseguest for six nights after the incident, and even threw a crayfish party for him. In the case of Ms. Wilen, she and Mr. Assange, after a night of sex, joked about the broken condom, and his promise that if she got pregnant he would move to Sweden, pay off her student loans, and they “could name the baby Afghanistan.”

She then went out and bought the two of them breakfast oats and orange juice. (Ian Fleming would never have allowed any of this.)

When Ms. Ardin learned Mr. Assange had also slept with Ms. Wilen, and when he failed the golden rule of elemental post-coital communications, they locked arms and went to the police—not to charge him with rape, but to see if he could be compelled to take an HIV test, on a Saturday, in Stockholm.

The report contains several testimonies—Ms. Ardin, Ms. Wilen, two Swedish male journalists, Ms. Wilen’s ex boyfriend, brother, and several friends and colleagues of the two women. Finally, Mr. Assange himself. It closes with grainy photographs of a broken condom, as well as a condom tip—and the forensic analysis of experts from “Staten’s Kriminaltekniska Laboratorium” (The State’s Criminal Technological Laboratory)—offering forensic results about the exact conditions along the broken edge of the condom. (Ruled not to have been broken by an “instrument,” but to have failed by natural means.)

After the incidents for which he is wanted for questioning took place, in mid-August 2010, Mr. Assange remained in Sweden for five weeks, until September 27, during which time Swedish prosecutors once dropped the case altogether, only to re-open it days later. Prosecutor Marianne Ny was quoted in the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter as having said: “Even if I’m wrong, I won’t give up.”

 

Some of us are happy both times.
