lol, well he is a Dr.

Not quite up there with “sex by surprise,” but still interesting:

WikiLeaks cables: Jihad? Sorry, I don’t want to miss Desperate Housewives | World news | guardian.co.uk

Great. Now I’m imagining Dr. B. making this clear in a Dr. Pepper commercial.

Their paypal yanked.
Their Swiss bank account shut down.
Assange is suddenly a sexual predator (attack the person if you can’t combat his evidence against you).

Hmmm… it’s probably just a coincidence.

Also, this:

The situation just gets even more ridiculous:

Mastercard.com Down Due To DDOS From Wikileaks Supporters

looks like assange is going to be facing espionage charges

Assange could face espionage trial in US - Crime, UK - The Independent

I think the rape charges are just a way to keep him in custody until they can bring the charges against him. I don’t really like this as he’s more of the messenger (even if he’s being reckless with the information), charging the data analyst with espionage would make more sense imo.

I don’t think you people are giving are government enough credit, the rape charges are legit. Theres no way we would use something so outlandish to keep him in jail, theres so many other things that are more reasonable and less suspicious looking that we could have charged him with if we wanted to fake something to keep him their.

This is the same government that 1/3 of americans beleive pulled off the the 9/11 conspiracy ( but didnt manage to kill off all the people making videos pointing it out ).

I’ve never even heard of Wikileaks until this thread.

Well now you know!

If you stumble on classified documents, it’s not your business to post it to the world. Sure, the injustices down by Governments is fine and sheds some light one shadiness, but when you start releasing shit that hurts people and puts lives in danger, you need to face a firing squad…

I hear the US government is going to claim they’re the one that leaked confidential information about Wikileaks.

That’s what I’d do if I was delusional and desperate to save face.

Back on topic, as I’ve no doubt the above went over some heads:

If Assange or whatever the fuck his name is really is killed, and it blows over, I’ll be way more disturbed about that than I will these relatively ho-hum cables.

Dr. B doesn’t comprehend the notion of confidential. It’s not like anyone can stop him from doing whatever the fuck he wants.

I could care less if Assanage died, and I believe a lot of people could give a shit if he died as well… The guy is a cyber terrorist.

I agree. He should be killed for causing the jack shit that may ultimately result from this. Those who were not hurt and those who were not killed by these leaks must be avenged before they are.

You mean like Jobe when he became the Lawnmower Man and was one with cyberspace? Shit man, that’s serious. We need whoever played the guy who saved the day in Lawnmower Man 2 to get in there and stop him before it’s too late.

ummm, depends on the classified documents. Should Deep Throat (the 2nd in command of the FBI) have not published any of his classified documents, detailing how the president (Nixon) had been doing illegal shit for years?

Wake up dumbass. If somebody does something illegal, I damn aint gonna be biting the hand of the dude who delivers the news, rather than the morons who did shit.

Wow, some dude in Yemen is probably a little more fucked than usual, and the rest of teh world officially knows that America thinks they’re stupid. OMG we should crucify Assange for letting us know about the crooked governments/businesses in the world.

Oh and gays, blacks and mexicans will destroy the world.

And Catchafire wasn’t born legally retarded

YOUR COMPARING THIS TO NIXON?!?! GTFO. Nixon shit was real. This shit right here is garbage.

Soviet, you might as well agree with every spy/terrorist that was ever born. You’re way too extreme left for my tastes dude.

soviet is hoping the release of this information will finally allow his dream of a proletariat revolution to come into fruition.

lol communism jokes and catchacold gets so salty he needs to double post
i win

Man, most people who shit on communism couldn’t tell you three things about Marx. Best thing about Marx is how on the money he was on so many things but niggas gotta tie it all up with Cuba, Mao and the USSR (really, this shit was so far from actual communism is hilarious).

The government knows more about you than you know about yourself, you can claim they’re not supposed to have the means to know everything about you because you have a right to privacy, but be realistic here…

The criminal charges on Assange are very real, but since the charges seemed relatively minor, they weren’t pursued. But when he started this wikileaks thing and started leaking confidential information, they dug up any information they had on him and they found a rape charge. Probably had other crimes attached to his name(I personally think all people do) but this one in particular gives the government an excuse to denounce his actions, portray him negatively, and hold him in custody until they can get an espionage trial going.

They have to be careful about this though, SRK=/= the rest of the world and not everyone believes that “he got what was coming to him” and it is “Julian is a scumbag who spied on this great nation”…

EDIT: Communism in Marx’s eyes is not the communism we have today imo.

Also one thing I found interesting in the leaked documents, was that China doesn’t like the NK at all, so if they go to war, China is not backing their asses up with firepower. I doubt they know what to do with all of the current NK refugees they have now.
