A few underreported facts relating to the Assange arrest warrant:

[Jemmons]

The initial dismissal of the charge of rape by the chief prosecutor Eva Finné

After charges was made against Assange to the police on friday 20th august Maria Häljebo Kjellstrand, the Stockholm prosecutor decided that Julian Assange should be arrested on suspicion of rape and assault. The charges were: "Våldtäkt", i.e. rape and "Ofredande", which is a very broad term for anything from reckless behavior to stone throwing or shooting. Maximum sentence for ofrendande is 1 year in prison.

The decision was based on information given to the prosecutor on the phone by the police. Detailed information was not shared initially - this is according to laws about secrecy in cases of rape where there is a need to protect the involved from harm.

The decision was also influenced by the apparent fact that the accused was about to leave the country before being questioned by authorities.

Friday evening information about the arrest in absentia had reached a Swedish newspaper. They then got confirmation that Assange was the accused from the prosecution after detailing their information to the prosecution office.

When it was clear that this was a high profile case with worldwide media attention the case was refereed to chief prosecutor Eva Finné for a pre-trial investigation. Mrs. Finné started to look into the case immediately and around 16:30 on saturday she decided to lift the arrest order on Assange as she determined that he could not be suspected of rape. The basis for this determination was information that had not been available to the initial prosecutor. Precisely what that information was is not revealed by the prosecution.
The accusation of "ofredande" was not at that point dismissed.

Then on 18 nov. prosecutor Marinanne Ny issued another arrest order in absentia. The reason for this was the need to interrogate him about the accusations of rape, sexual assault (ofredande) and illegal force.

Since then the defending lawyer for Julian Assange, Björn Hurtig have asked the swedish police to interview two witnesses, who have seen parts of the encounter between Assange and the two accusing women "up close". Their statements are expected to be detrimental to the credibility of the charges made by the two women.


Motive: hinder Assange being wikileaks legal responsible editor
So why would anyone make false accusations against the information activist? Beside the obvious reason - damage control in the PR-nightmare the disclosed documents has turned out to be - there is a subtle and perhaps more urgent reason: In order to become "legally responsible editor" of the swedish hosted Wikileaks website Assange would have to obtain a permit of stay and work for Sweden. A pending rape or sexual assault will at least post phone the issuing this permit.

The permit was applied for on 18. Oct. two days before the accusations of rape.

Motive: DNA profiling of Assange
There is an additional motive for a false accusation: A DNA profiling of Assange would be useful for further surveillance of him or even further accusations.

Multiple benefits
The choice of (false) rape accusations has a number of benefits for the accuser: Beyond the obvious - that there is very little obvious difference between consensual sex and what constitutes rape in a legal sense and the relevance of DNA profiling - there is the added bonus of extra "protection" of the accuser. Another added bonus is the smear factor for a large subset of the population of just having sex outside marriage. In essence a false rape accusation can be fun to prepare the setup for, offer extra protection for the accuser and have multiple benefits even when it fails in an actual trial. In this particular case there is also the added bonus of Assange being portrayed as being "on the run" while just going on his own business in the UK.

1. Thinking about 'on the run'.

I think about a song, when I was in a bit of a bad situation, basically when in a moment I realized they were smearing me.

I did run.

I chose to run straight at them, went back and stood in their face every day, and found every person I could find that was part of same hierarchy and stood in their face. And kept running strait at them.

Most don't notice that in this song, sometimes running is running alright, right at them.


Silent Running.

And once again, for those that think in ideas of noble lines. This says the same thing as King Ralph Trailer, and Superman song. Although I don't believe in things like Genetic lines or monarchies.



And if you really want something to think about, that picture on the table is Kyle Reese, fighting the machines that have no feeling. Although I don't believe in temporal lore, and already explained that is about the difference between thinking and feeling people, and those that are machines doing what they are told without feeling. And also that Kyle Reese was a pure servant, and a protector in that metaphor. And you have his picture, like he had the picture of His wife, before he even met her.

2. It is also why trying to help the rich is so important.

And why base line standards that can help them stand up to the things going after them like greed, is so important.

If you make a law that stealing is wrong, and hold every person to account for those things, then the things in them trying to get them to be greedy and hurt without care, have another foe, justice, and then their own self thoughts can be used to help them stand up against other self thoughts.

When anarchy was installed, the help for Jobs fighting things like greed was removed, why Justice has been tried so hard to be removed from some groups. Although remember compassion, the greedy without feeling are losing more and more of themselves day by day, and I don't believe in leaving anyone behind.


Many wealthy people have fought many battles against greed, and help many people also, so there is that also.

3. Here are some other interesting underreported facts.

1. The original prosecutor in charge, Eva Finné, dropped the charges the same week they were made and stated they were groundless.

3. Eva Finné was removed from the case by Claes Borgström and a new prosecutor, Marianne Ny, was appointed. Her first act was to reinstate the charges.

4. Claes Borgström is a former politician. His law partner is Thomas Bodström. Thomas Bodström is Sweden’s former Minister of Justice.

5. Thomas Bodström is currently in the USA. One could assume he is communicating and coordinating things with his partner back in Sweden.

6. It is Swedish protocol not to release the names of people accused of rape until after a conviction. The Swedish prosecutors office claims they have “no idea” how Assange’s name was leaked.

7. Normally Swedish media will not publish an accused’s name until after a conviction. Swedish media is controlled by a single ruling class family named Bonnier who work closely with local politicians to protect their media monopoly.

8. Claes Borgström’s two sisters, Annette Kullenberg and Kerstin Vinterhed, both work for Bonnier family newspapers.

9. Anna Ardin and Thomas Bodström are high ranking members of the right wing Christian political organization “Socialdemokrat-Brödraskapet”.

10. Claes Borgström is a right wing politician whose push for larger big brother powers for the Swedish state were leaked by Wikileaks.
