Breaking on BBC - judge denies bail to Julian |
|
The railroading of Julian Assange is making it difficult for me to separate the so called Western governments from the Russians and Chinese - democracy my ass - this is fascism plain and simple.
Corporate governance by secrecy - fuck it.

2. Well, it's really out in the open now, that is for those that are willing to see. |

Sorry if my lack of punctuation skills...
Fascism indeed and our government didn't waste much time trying to hide its role.

10. He turned himself in and the Judge said |
|
he was a at risk of flight..... after he turned himself in voluntarily at the police station.
Fascism is hidden behind the world ruling system.

29. Yes and the Mafia had better Italian Silk Suits and ties |
|
My eldest brother told me when I got out of college to buy a dark blue suit with a power tie..... red, white and blue.
It was one of the major things that counted in the interview.
BTW... only a white shirt and not the light blue one that I perfered.
LOL

JOHN LENNON "Crippled Inside"
you can shine you're shoes and wear a suit you can comb your hair and look quite cute
you can hide your face behind a smile one thing you can't hide is when you're crippled inside
you wear a mask and paint your face
you can call yourself the human race
you can wear a collar and a tie
but the one thing you can't hide is when you're crippled inside
well now you know that your cat has nine lives babe nine loves to itself but you only got one and a dog life ain't no fun
mamma take a look outside.
you can go to church and sing a hymn judge me by the color of my skin
you can live a lie until you die one thing you can't hide is when you're crippled inside.
Thanks my Sweetie great recording at 256K

11. He walked into a police station |
|
in Central London this morning.
No word from all the defenders of freedom of information. They will regret this day - expect massive protests in London and elsewhere.
Free Julian Assange.

I'd hope there is a list of those who come out and support Julian.
More than ever I understand the major importance of Net Neutrality.

a) there's nothing interesting in the info bomb. Assange is discredited. b) there's interesting but not destabilizing info there - the stuff that's been released so far. Assange goes to jail having played his trump card, a four of clubs. c) there are massive revelations which upset the apple cart, such as the names of the people who shorted AAL in 2000. Carlyle group?

15. Release the Kracken!! Maybe not yet. I suspect assange will play ball for a while and see if the |
|
trumped up charges will stick. I think "rape" is an exaggeration and what he's actually charged with is just a misdemeanor sex crime as severe as, say, solicitation would be here in teh States...
