Facts vs. Fiction: Assange Never Raped Anyone

As a victim of sexual abuse when young, where no one would listen to me and those I trusted with the details called me "punk" (in the most demeaning way) I'm well versed on the side of the vex upon victims. One can even argue that it's worse for a boy to talk about being raped - than it is for a girl by a guy.

Too often, unrequited sexual abuse sagas leads to cases of suicide (see Tree Climbers - here).

That being said, nothing gets in the craw of victims of sexual abuse, more than someone making up fabrications of being abused, in order to gain some selfish advantage. Where there are cases of people making up crap against rich guys, just to get over. Or a team of players at a school. And the girl who stayed out all night long and blamed her bo (who didn't satisfy her) or someone not even involved, so she wouldn't be punished.

All falsehoods make it harder for REAL victims to achieve justice and closure!

[br][hr][br]
IF You really want to see the facts in print and such compared to the propaganda, then the best place is the website "EXTRADITING ASSANGE".

This particular website can be labeled bias, if you so choose to say, as it details the falsities by David Allen Green and the political prosecution of Julian Assange - in Detail.

At the very bottom of the Justice for Julian Assange - EXTRADITING web page (lengthy) - it has a fact by fiction comparison that should put to rest all the manure out there.

That is, of course, unless you're hell bent to condemn a man!

The 2 Swedish Girls in Question[/font]
-[font size=6 color=burnt] NEVER[/font] -
[font size=6 color=navy]accused Julian Assange of Rape
[/font][/center]

That's right, ladies and gentlemen, most of U.S. (and the world actually) are being duped by main stream (lame) media; chiefly propagandized by David Allen Green. For it is a fact that this whole case was started, when one of the girls went to the police and asked if she could compel Julian Assange to give a blood test (to check for STD's).

You can, if you care about the facts, even if you, arguendo, ignore the glaring Rove issues and that the U.S. Government is after Julian Assange in connection with Private Manning (or have you totally bought into the B.S. that big gov doesn't desire to nail Assange - being totally obtuse to what has happened to Manning) - simply look at the Swedish public records (that our main stream never reports).

PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT;

The original prosecutor closed the Julian Assange case and a politico (Claes Borgström) and others took the case away from the original prosecutor and launched a campaign to "Q U E S T I O N" Julian Assange.

That's right, this whole case is about "questioning" - Assange is NOT charged any crime!

Asked on various occasions how an investigation could be restarted even though the complainants did not allege rape, Claes Borgström stated that neither woman is a lawyer, therefore neither woman can tell whether she was raped or not.

REALLY!

I don't know about you - but I sure as hell know when I've been violated!

Here's the verbatim from (this) Swedish source;


Interviewer: But [the complainant] did not at first say that she had been raped.

Borgström: Yes, but she is not a lawyer.



Despite Assange's efforts to comply with the inquiry, the prosecutor delayed the progression of the investigation. Then many strange things began to occur, including the stealing of Julian Assange's personal computers = AFTER = Sweden granted Assange permission to leave the country.

THAT's RIGHT - Julian didn't RUN away - he was granted permission!

Then - this event took place;

Assange's discussion on the phone (which happened in my presence): "They could not do this before? I have been in Sweden for six weeks. " In the journey to Berlin, Assange took four computers and his own personal baggage. The baggage and three of his computers disappeared, although his was a direct flight. Assange arrived to meet with Espresso in Berlin in the late evening (around 11 pm) without luggage, and with only one computer: a laptop which he never parts from and which travels with him on his shoulders. The episode made Assange suspicious. The three computers were never recovered. Twenty days after these events, WikiLeaks released documents on the war in Iraq (Iraq War Logs). Meanwhile, the Swedish case went on.

[br]
About Wikileaks purportedly exposing the girls

EEEEAAANNNNTTTT! - Buzz a big NO on that one too....


On the 23rd of August, at 16:40, the police released the casefile for AA's report under Freedom of Information on the Assange case. AA's name was supposed to be redacted throughout the document, and it was, throughout the body of the document. But the police failed to redact her name from the title of the document. The police are therefore the sole and effective reason that AA's privacy as an alleged victim was breached, and that her identity is known publicly.

[br]

AA gave an interview to the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, in which she stated that Assange is not violent, and that neither she nor SW are afraid of him. She gave this interview anonymously, and yet, when the interview was reproduced in The New York Times her full name was given out. The New York Times is therefore the effective reason that AA's name became known all over the world. From Aftonbladet:

It is completely false that we are afraid of Assange and therefore didn’t want to file a complaint. He is not violent and I do not feel threatened by him.

[br][hr][br]

[center][font size=6 color=burnt]SUMMING IT ALL UP[/font][/center]

We know our country went to war in Iraq based upon GWB's Administration lying out their butts - massively. We also know that the tapes given out by Private Manning, through Julian Assange's Wikileaks organization, deeply embarrassed the American warring machine - Greatly!

To say that big gov and the corporate military industrial complex doesn't have an axe to grind against Julian Assange - is just plain Bull C H I T!

Of the 2 Swedish girls in question, Julian Assange was never accused of rape. One girl went to the police to ask for a blood test issue and they went "AH HAH - we got him"!

Since then, there has been mass millions of dollars (over 3 million alone, for British police to surround the Embassy) to go after Julian Assange and Wikileaks; because bad faith acts do not like being exposed...

especially by an outsider!

Here's a link with the vast, Chronological details of the Julian Assange case. Including the issues of what he reported with Wikileaks hacking and how the rape case has been a fabrication from the start.

[center] Justice for Julian Assange [/center]

If you care about the facts and justice, you will see that this website has links upon links backing up each and every remark. This case is a fabrication by the powers that be - who are going after the person - who points out they are "corrupt" powers that be.

It is easy to get the world all in a tizzy - as is remarked/noted by the facts - that;

But the original privacy blunder by the police had happened much earlier: a matter of hours after the women visited the police on the 20th of August. Within two hours of the issuance of the arrest warrant, a reporter at the tabloid Expressen had been tipped off by SMS. The duty prosecutor, Maria Kjellstrand, was called, who illegally confirmed that there was an arrest warrant out for Julian Assange. Expressen then ran the story, and Kjellstrand was quoted in it. Within a matter of hours, the news had travelled around the world, was reported by every major English-language news outlet, and had associated Julian Assange's name with the word "rape" in over 3 million Google search results.

The arrest warrant had been issued by Kjellstrand during the interview with SW. The Chief Prosecutor Eva Finne was on holiday at the time. When she read SW's interview the next day, she canceled the arrest warrant, saying "I don't think there is reason to suspect that he has committed rape." It has been reported by Aftonbladet that, internally, Finne has been extremely critical of the police conduct in the issuance of the warrant.

[center][font size=6]"Imagine Peace"[/font][/center]


[br]

The 2 girls are a victim, of being caught up in the wheels of injustice that thrust them into a losing position. No matter how this case turns out, they will always have to hide from the public's scrutiny.

And that's a Dam Shame!

Believe what you want to believe. As for me, being a real victim of sexual abuse who fights such and other bad faith acts (including big gov and Mitt Romney), I know how justice REALLY works in this country...

I'm just sayin....

1. Lets look at what the women actually told the police as seen in Assange's arrest warrant
Tue May 12, 2015, 12:10 PM
May 2015

This is what Assange is accused of.

1. Unlawful coercion

On 13-14 August 2010, in the home of the injured party [AA] in Stockholm. Assange, by using violence. forced the injured party to endure his restricting her freedom of movement. The violence consisted in a firm hold of the injured party's arms and a forceful spreading of her legs whilst lying on top of her and with his body weight preventing her from moving or shifting.

2. Sexual molestation

On 13-14 August 2010, in the home of the injured party [AA] in Stockholm, Assange deliberately molested the injured party by acting in a manner designed to violate her sexual integrity. Assange, who was aware that it was the expressed wish of the injured party and a prerequisite of sexual intercourse that a condom be used, consummated unprotected sexual intercourse with her without her knowledge.

3. Sexual molestation

On 18 August 2010 or on any of the days before or after that date, in the home of the injured party [AA] in Stockholm, Assange deliberately molested the injured party by acting in a manner designed to violate her sexual integrity i.e. lying next to her and pressing his naked, erect penis to her body.

4. Rape

On 17 August 2010, in the home of the injured party [SW] in Enkoping, Assange deliberately consummated sexual intercourse with her by improperly exploiting that she, due to sleep. was in a helpless state.

It is an aggravating circumstance that Assange. who was aware that it was the expressed wish of the injured party and a prerequisite of sexual intercourse that a condom be used. still consummated unprotected sexual intercourse with her. The sexual act was designed to violate the injured party's sexual integrity."


http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Admin/2011/2849.html

Until the women specifically retract their statements (which they haven't - they still want their day in court) I am going to believe the victims.

Being told that a specific condition was required required for sex, ignoring said condition and proceeding when you know consent has not only not been given, but was in in fact expressly denied,means there's enough enough to enough to be investigated for rape.

Also the fact that the website is relying on the fact that Assange hasn't been charged when that is a difference in the American and Swedish system makes me disbelieve what they have to say.

We can take the remarks from the report linked above - omit words - and Viola.. a Crime. Such as the excerpt from the "AA" remark (just above my "Summing it all up&quot .

It states;

It is completely false that we are afraid of Assange and therefore didn’t want to file a complaint. He is not violent and I do not feel threatened by him.

You consistently refer to the women as "girls". You're somehow justifying that by saying you "just learned their actual age". Did you think they were under 18?

You are the one's making something unintended - into a mountain volcano

Girls/Boys - men/women - the dictionary says;

a female child.

Or is it just you - trying to imply they aren't "young" women

but old!

And many in the Swedish government says this pandering to American powers is an embarrassment to their country.

A POLITICO re-opened it a month before the election.

Give this crap of making stuff up - a BREAK...

Of course I want cops to do their job - all the back to 50 years ago when my ass and lips were abused. I was so naive that when my mom went to spank me and I asked her why...

it seemed to me I was accused of offering a nickel to have a kid kiss my belly button

When I told the "Goodings" about that (ain't that name irony for ya) - that's when they showed me what it REALLY meant.

And no one can tell people that you were punked by church going Goodings.

So YES, if it has any chance of being rape - than let the party go through the ringer.

BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT HAS OCCURRED HERE!

The original rush by the police to seek glory at witch hunting (which is what many of you are doing here right now) - was tossed out by the head prosecutor - at that time!

Then politicians got involved in a world wide Google smear

Have the U.S. give an international statement they won't arrest or seek extradition

and he'd be in court tomorrow.

You putting words in my mouth and accusing me of being a rapist sympathizer is what makes you a hater. Argue on points of fact, instead of fiction and name calling.

and you'll get respect - in kind.

weaseling out of rape charges, and those supporting him. that would be you....

People who are 'certain' they know one way or another aren't going to be swayed, and most of the rest of us simply are going to wait and see what a court says, since we weren't there, and don't know what actually happened, just what various people say happened.

On your books,

The girls never said anything about rape - and the prosecutor closed the case. A frggn politico (Rove pal) and former prosecutor who yanked 2 of his own countrymen to Egypt to be tortured - are involved here.

Do you really think Yoko Ono would give a rapist a reward?

REALLY!

I have great sympathy for what the parties are going through and won't be bullied into a corner by the fact you have a group of haters who are hell bent to destroy the facts.

The original prosecutor ended the case and a political one made the story into a monster for personal gain. This gives the parties NO choice but to go along and seek benefit

for their futures are destroyed - No matter how this comes out

and you don't seem to give a flying frk about such - as long as you can bait/ hate

It does seem convenient, though, that right after the Collateral Murder video on Wikileaks became a media circus Assange was all of a sudden charged with sexual assault.

It's possible that someone found out he raped these two women and took advantage of that and are using it as a way to get to him.

I wonder about this because rape isn't always taken this seriously by authorities.

Tue May 12, 2015, 01:55 PM

and it is also "possible" that they are using a "real skeleton in the closet"

But the evidence doesn't bode that way;
because the original prosecutor dropped the case.

And a politico (Rover) made it into international news
(which goes right back to the fact that Wiki LEAKED)

I'm more pissed that Brady gets game suspended;
and the abuser with evidence galore - gets what!

The women were Wikikeaks supporters.

Assange did something many find admirable, but that doesn't mean he couldn't have committed these acts as well.

Before I thought he was a silly nut, now he just comes across as super jerk, which is the nicest way possible way to say what I really think of him.

I guess since his Romney/Bain lawsuits went predictably no where, he can expand his repertoire into a rape apologist and a Mr. Nice Guy.

But, he should go back to Sweden and face the authorities like a man. If the women did not accuse him of rape, then what does he have to fear? The US has said that they did not ask for extradition.
