We MUST stand behind Assange
I'm 120% in support of this:

Open letter: To Julia Gillard, re Julian Assange

Editor's note: There’s no doubt that WikiLeaks and its figurehead-on-the-run Julian Assange are among the hottest items for discussion on the planet right now.

Feelings are running high, and many in this country take the view that the Australian Government ought do more to assist its vilified, beleaguered citizen.

Assange has become a cause celebre, as evidenced by the signatories to this open letter, a who’s who of sorts, from Noam Chomsky to Helen Garner...


We wrote the letter below because we believe that Julian Assange is entitled to all the protections enshrined in the rule of law – and that the Australian Government has an obligation to ensure he receives them.

The signatures here have been collected in the course of a day-and-a-half, primarily from people in publishing, law and politics. The signatories hold divergent views about WikiLeaks and its operations. But they are united in a determination to see Mr Assange treated fairly.

We know that many others would have liked to sign. But given the urgency of the situation, we though it expedient to publish now rather than collect more names.

If, however, you agree with the sentiments expressed, we encourage you to leave your name in the comments section.

Letter [and comments section] at:

Something doesn't pass the smell test with all this.
It seems like it's a choreographed media event.
Nothing new released. Just patented disinfo that continues the PTB party line anyway.

It is likely to be a trojan horse, so we need to wait to see who benefits besides the media circus who will could rein in control of alternative news, the well worn hype of bin Laden and war rationale, and Israel.

I can't think of a a more serious subject regarding deadly implications.

That alone makes it imperative to speak up when, to attack a citizen, our own laws are impinged, ignored and potentially broken.

Re: We MUST stand behind Assange
Open letter calls for Gillard to defend Assange
[link to www.abc.net.au]

A group of almost 200 prominent names have appealed to Prime Minister Julia Gillard to defend WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

Many prominent US figures have called for Mr Assange's death since his whistleblower organisation began releasing hundreds of US diplomatic cables last month.

And Ms Gillard has been accused by Mr Assange's lawyers of prejudicing any case against him by claiming he is "guilty of illegality" for leaking the documents.

But in the open letter posted on the ABC's Drum website, figures such as writer Noam Chomsky, former Family Court chief justice Alastair Nicholson, retired intelligence officer Lance Collins and actor Max Gillies call on Ms Gillard to ensure Mr Assange's safety in light of the inflammatory rhetoric surrounding WikiLeaks.

"We therefore call upon you to condemn, on behalf of the Australian Government, calls for physical harm to be inflicted upon Mr Assange and to state publicly that you will ensure Mr Assange receives the rights and protections to which he is entitled, irrespective of whether the unlawful threats against him come from individuals or states," they write.

Former Wikileaks board member John Young resigned in protest of it becoming a CIA CONduit.

And don't forget about the CIA's "Operation Paperclip" or the original globalization cult that ultimately sponsored both it and the Fascist's earlier rise to power. Particularly whenever it is stated that Wikileaks is a traitorous terrorist front, which is accurate.

Excuse me OP, but since when does anybody who is being charged with crimes get to negotiate how and when they will turn themselves in? That to me is a dead giveaway that this is all a staged media event by someone who in all probability is an intelligence operative playing a role.

That there is an open question about whether or not Wikileaks is a CIA or MI6 front. How else get that access, the sophisticated encryption system used by governments?

If this were a face value event and he had really been accused of rape or selling secrets he would not be treated with such kid gloves.

Just my observations.

That's pretty common when the police don't know where the accused person is, but they are in contact with the accused person's lawyers. The police and the lawyers negotiate a surrender.

lol

Yeah - most of our prisons look like that though - so they didn't have to look to far!

What gets me is, they usually only dis-allow bail for 'suspects' who are determined flight risk (they could easily make him surrender his passport - He's not UK citizen and is fairly famous so where could he go?) or threat to the public or would be endangered by the public reaction.

I don't think he fits any of those so why NO BAIL?

Also they have closed down Wikileaks' bank account (although "he has not been arrested in connection to Wikileaks") thus removing an obvious source of money for him to defend himself.

And Paypal, Visa, Mastercard etc. have STOPPED processing any donations to Wikileaks - stifling his income.

Exactly. And for this alone, people should stand up for Julian Assange. Under no circumstances should a bank have the authority to seize your funds without a court order, and certainly not with no criminal charges against you.

Choreographed media event smells like Israel to me Mossad to be specific rehashing stuff that everybody already knew but hyping it with lies or disinfo and why do I say This you ask ?simple, the media is controlled by Jews and the total absence of any so called classified material that would impact Israel in a bad way. And every other country in a negative way I know I live in America Jews run this country into the dirt you eventually get a second sense about how they perpetuate their lies.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1155273

Well, He didn't negotiate how and when to turn himself in, he did so voluntarily when he was aware that a valid order for his extradition existed.
As for the allegations of sexual misconduct, Assange seems prepared to let Swedish Jurisprudence resolve the matter.
Selling secrets? They were passed to him, and he did what any Journalist worth their salt would do, he published and be damned(with the consequenses)

WikiLeaks ‘Struck A Deal With Israel’ Over Diplomatic Cable Leaks

“Assange met with Israeli officials in Geneva earlier this year and struck the secret deal. The Israel government, it seems, had somehow found out or expected that the documents to be leaked contained a large number of documents about the Israeli attacks on Lebanon and Gaza in 2006 and 2008-9 respectively. These documents, which are said to have originated mainly from the Israeli embassies in Tel Aviv and Beirut, where removed and possibly destroyed by Assange, who is the only person who knows the password that can open these documents, the sources added.”
