There are many thousands of people imprisoned in Uzbekistan alone who should not be imprisoned and who suffer much worse conditions than even the genuine horrors of Wandsworth being visited on Julian Assange. But the Assange case has implications for ever deteriorating Western freedoms which should not be overlooked.
Then there are many war criminals who ought to be in jail and who are not. Most prominent of these are Bush, Blair, Cheney, Straw and their crew. A minor figurewho ought to be in jail is Anna Ardin. Here are two tweets she published after being “raped” by Julian Assange:
‘Julian wants to go to a crayfish party, anyone have a couple of available seats tonight or tomorrow? #fb’
‘Sitting outdoors at 02:00 and hardly freezing with the world’s coolest smartest people, it’s amazing! #fb’
She subsequently deleted and tried to expunge those. I doff my hat to Rixstep:

For another avowed feminist trying to bring Assange down, analyse the use of language in this article by the Guardian’s useless Helen Piddle. For a worm like her to use words like bizarre and raggle-taggle in relation to John Pilger really defies rationality.

You mean you didn’t like the British Council film about the 1948 Test match? I thought it was rather sweet. Oh well, back to the stew.

“What I fear most of all is that the Internet will not be a benign sentient being but a deeply confused paranoid and resentful entity – the sum of all the dark, fearful fantasies of its users.
I think we might need to prepare the Kill Switch!”
I have always credited you with some sense Angrysober, but that is the most pernicious statement I have seen from you on this board.
Angrysoba – ‘I’m joking.
The point is that the evil powers that be essentially created the Internet and now, in this time of unprecedented access to knowledge, there are people here who are convinced that their access to knowledge is under almost unprecedented suppression.’
I think you are confusing scientific knowledge and the knowledge of power and where it lies. which is only now beginning to spread, slowly but surely, within the general population. Their days are numbered you buffoon. What have they had to resort to? Oh yes, sending idiots like you, one example of many, to try and disrupt Craig Murray’s blog. Ha ha ha. You stick out like a sore thumb and are more of an asset than an enemy. You simply haven’t got what it takes i’m sorry to say. Toodles. 😉
P.S. Oh, and if you think it was the people at the top of the pyramid that ‘created the internet’, then you’re more deluded than I thought! You’re a right clown… :-0
Mark,
I always credited you with an enormous amount of sense, but never realised you were so naive.
With regards to the angry son of a bitch, I seem to recall that someone else had to explain to him what it meant.

Good thread on Medialens on the reporting of the incident last night involving the warmongering heir presumptive and his second wife, his former mistress.

Alright people, calm down 🙂
Best wishes to all well-meaning contributors.

and to be fair Bill Gates,(though I don’t like to admit it) the internet would have remained the preserve of the Military and geeks running Linux and an assortment of other operating systems.
But to be fair to the US Military, their design to maintain communications in the event of a nuclear war was excellent. They simply didn’t realise that such communication tools work both ways.
I can remember when they said they wanted me to work from home. I said O.K., but I want a desk, and I am not putting up with a bloody teletype.
The security was a lot better then.

Sure thing, but these military guys aren’t the powers that be. The powers that be are manipulative, sociopathic, deluded paedophiles who surf the wave of human enterprise and endeavour. The central bank controlling scumbags and secret society brats. I’m sure some of them might actually believe themselves to be important and useful. However, they are a complete waste of space and a scourge to our species if truth be told.

Presumably the hackers had to go back to their normal juggling and taking the dog for a walk activities.
Definitely something with the site this morning. Maybe Murdock flicked the switch.
“According to the WiseNews Chinese language publications database, a total of 40 news articles in mainland Chinese print media today include the keyword “Liu Xiaobo” (??”?).
“Of these, 39 are re-runs of the most recent official Xinhua News Agency release on the Nobel Peace Prize. In that release, China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs blasted a resolution from the U.S. House of Representatives congratulating Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo on his winning of the Nobel Peace Prize, saying it “toyed with the truth and confused black and white.”
“What was article number 40 dealing with Liu Xiaobo today?
“It was an editorial in Beijing Daily, the official Party mouthpiece of the Beijing city leadership, criticizing the Nobel Peace Prize as a “tool of Western values and ideology,” and snidely suggesting that this year’s prize be given instead to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.”

That’s not remotely what it says. No point in lying Alan.

Plus, I hadn’t known the bit at the bottom,
“In related news, Wikileaks looks set to have a rival as former staffers of the whistle-blowing website prepare to launch. Set up by Daniel Domscheit-Berg, Open Leaks is expected to launch in mid_December and will host and post information leaked to it.”
The more the merrier, if you ask me.
I agree, dreolin. Interesting name, though: Domscheit-Berg. It sounds like a MacDonalds recipe, a new Special:
“I’ll have a large domscheit-burg with chips, please.”
“A what…?”
” Domscheit-burg. Haven’t you heard, it’s the new Special.”
Sorry, couldn’t resist.
How to do education properly. Another victory for the Axis of Equal. This time those clever Finns:

In Dublin that would quickly become the ‘scheit-burg’.
Willetts has a good point.

What else do we learn from the attack on Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall? The pictures of an older couple ?” one of them a grandmother ?” being attacked in their car by a mob of angry young ‘students’ captures the generational divide that David Cameron presides over. Consider for a moment the position of the average intelligent 18 year old who has limited family resources to fall back on: he wants to go to university, but will have to borrow £30,000 to pay for it; he will want to buy a house, but property prices have been driven through the roof; he will want a mortgage, but first time buyers are screwed; he will hope for job security, but the workplace is now one of constant uncertainty; and he might dream of a pension, but will just have to dream on because they aren’t worth much and anyway he will have to retire at 75. How galling it must be to have tuition fees imposed by a rich bloke who went to unversity effectively for free. Especially if said rich bloke has made a song and dance of exempting the older generation from the pain of austerity. ‘”We’re all in this together,” says rich bloke, while ruling out any cuts to the winter fuel payments and free TV licences for pensioners.
It’s the point David Willetts made in his compelling book The Pinch: How the babyboomers took their childrens’ future ?” and why they should give it back. He must see the irony Those doing the legislating, and those from Charles and Camilla’s generation, enjoy economic advantages that today’s children will not. In his Budget George Osborne produced the distributional analysis showing how the pain was evenly spread across economic groups. What he didn’t give us was the generational distribution, which might show that the young are getting clobbered while the old escape with their pensions and mortgage-free houses intact. David Cameron has rightly said the the responsibility lies with the protestors and no one else. But he might have to think how he manages this war of the generations.
Nearly another Ian Tomlinson or Blair Peach yesterday.

apologies – couldn’t be arsed to read all the comments but:
Rather than slagging the woman for ‘radical feminism’ or whatever, how about some more CIA connections?
http://my.firedoglake.com/kirkmurphy/2010/12/04/assanges-chief-accuser-has-her-own-history-with-us-funded-anti-castro-groups-one-of-which-has-cia-ties/
I’ve largely discounted the CIA connections and her Embassy work and the fact that she is reported to be in Palestine now negotiating between the Jews and the Christians (I don’t think the Palestinians were mentioned)
Anyway, I can report that my wife is pissed off with the hackers. She tried to buy some fairy boots for our daughter online last night and couldn’t get her credit card authorised.
The Twats – what more could I say?
