[Merged] Julian Assange: rapist or not? - Part 2 / Assange arrested - Page 8

Assange Rape Charge - a convenient charge at a convenient time which shut down one of America's and Europe's biggest critics.

Too convenient. Too Timely.

I mean, this is just asking for rape...and this woman either knew it, or was too delusional to know it. Anyways...she got raped and maybe this will help her grow the hell up and quit getting drunk in public - and maybe it will be a lesson for a lot of other young, stupid girls who get drunk in public.

Listen...many guys have no respect for girls who willingly get drunk in public and they consider them dirty, filthy sluts. I know I do and there is no way I would ever run to the protection of such a drunken woman. Seriously, I got better things to do with my life than to fight off the rapists that she invited by her behavior. Hey...if I go to combat and get my arse beat on for protecting a woman, it's going to be for a woman that really "wasn't asking for it".

Where do you live, Jules? I'm curious exactly where this line of thinking is considered a legitimate argument.

Because as we know Assange has been incommunicado for the past few years, and unable to, I don't know, just off the top of my head, come up with any "October surprises"...

In other words...bollocks.

Yeah, Jules is really all over the place with this one: The girl is a filthy slut who was asking for it. Assange deserves to be punished for raping her (note he hasn't even been to trial yet!). The whole thing is a set up by the US to silence Assange (who hasn't actually been silenced).

And of course Jules hasn't actually read the thread.

Assange, a don quixote of modern times
He should have not helped the stupid majority learn the hard facts that the stupid majority was cheated upon

He should have instead spied on the US and sold secrets to China
He would have accelerated the already fast collapse of the empire and made money all the way

This appears on the Daily Kos but it seems a bit suspect to me. The only report seems to be a from a low traffic dating site.

Just looked into this, and as much as I hate Assange, it's almost certainly ********. The "dating site" filing this report was registered just a year ago, is full of almost certainly fake profiles of women, yet claims to be responsible for 3000 marriages. Their mailing address is an international mail forwarding service. Searching the name of the site on Google turns up nothing but spam and (a surprising amount of porn), and a couple references to this story. I have zero confidence this is an actual dating site anyone's using. Looks like a scam.
They were also de-listed from the UN Global Compact as a result of their complaint for a "reason related to the Integrity Measures"
It seems like a creepy publicity stunt by the company.
That said, it's possible Ecuador did get word of the story and decided to turn his Internet off in response, but I'll wait to hear from the Bamahas before giving any credence to the allegations.

I actually appreciated a preliminary debunk of this.

And it's not third hand drivel, it's from the dating-company itself it seems. So maybe first hand-drivel

The story is all over twitter, wikileaks twitter account (e.g Assange) even adressed it and denied it. Can't find it now, I might be mistaken. Or the tweet I saw was a fabrication.

Even if untrue, which seems likely, the story might explain the internet connection issue. Assange explicitly accused Ecuador of responsibility in a tweet today. Might be a reaction to the story. https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/788099178832420865

Why can't he get internet access? That area should get good 4G according to Ofcom's postcode check.

As regards the accusation the key "evidence" seems to be a cached document. Anyone know how reliable that is? I don't know unglobalcompact's setup but it's possible that they were in fact the ones who posted that while they were still members. With 9000 companies and 4000 "non-business" members I suspect their initial membership check is none too rigorous. Possibly they spotted these people planting a document, checked on them and decided a rather dubious looking dating site may not be for them. Their project Katia claims to have been written by a NotreDame mathematician, it was a guy who graduated in maths from ND so a bit of a stretch.
My gut feeling is that if there was a shred of plausible support certain parties would be all over it.

You used to be able to buy cell phone and wifi jamming devices for about $30 on eBay, would render devices unusable (even for emergency calls) within a short radius.

And an embassy sounds like exactly the type of facility that would bake EM jamming capacity into their security plan from day one.

I'd say that cutting off his internet is going to do more to get him to surrender to the police than any government pressure.

Just imagine it. No communicating to the world how innocent and misunderstood he is. No adoring fans commenting on his posts. And worst of all, no internet porn.

Illegal in the US too, but the Ecuadorian Embassy is Ecuadorian soil. As blutoski noted, the Embassy likely had the technology hard-wired into it's security system.

Assage should have worked FOR the riches not against them

Maybe selling the Chinese one of the few remaining tech secrets of the US or something like that

Very unlikely as it would block all signals not just those for Assange, which would make the normal day to day work of the embassy more difficult. More likely they disabled his logon credentials either to their Wifi or LAN, whichever he used. Given the nature of Wikileaks, I doubt someone like Assange would use anything other than a wired connection for sensitive communications.

Right, but I was responding to Wudang's question about how Assange didn't have internet access in a good 4G reception area. The technology to locally knock out devices in a short radius is cheap and simple. A few years back a buddy of mine bought one on eBay to stop his daughter from using the phone while driving; we found it's effective radius to be about 10-15 feet. And I would assume security protocols would monitor hard line communications on the Embassy's network.

Wikileaks mission is to foster openness and transparency in governments and corporations worldwide. They rely on donations for support and are not really trying to get rich off their activities, but are trying to wake people up regarding what goes on away from the headlines.

Assange is a publisher. People send him information so that he will publish it. People who want to send secrets to China send them to China, not to Wikileaks. If Assange started selling secrets to China instead of publishing them, he would lose credibility as a publisher. People would stop sending him secrets.

Besides, the Chinese already have plenty of people to send them tech secrets. These are people who have the qualifications and credentials to work in aerospace and other industries where they will be exposed to tech advances. They are also people who are American citizens that can pass a background check and get a security clearance, so that they will have access to the kinds of tech secrets China is looking for.

Assange has none of these qualities. The people that do, who are interested in selling secrets to China, don't need Assange's help to do it.

All in all, if you want Assange to work in opposition to the US, his continued work publishing through Wikileaks is probably his best contribution. Earning money by selling tech secrets to China isn't really an option for him.

ETA: Anyway, what do you think Assange's anti-American efforts have to do with the topic of this thread?

-- Accusations of rape against Assange in Sweden.
-- The Swedish government's attempt to investigate these accusations.
-- Assange's ongoing efforts to prevent the progress of the Swedish investigation.

Also, this thread has been going on for a while. A lot of anti-US ideas have been expressed and discussed already. If you read through it, you might find some good arguments have already been made. You will also see many examples of how to express anti-US views without being sanctioned by the moderators.

Assange, a don quixote of modern times ... sold secrets to China He would have accelerated the already fast collapse of the empire and made money all the way You call Assange mad, like insane. Time to reread and comprehend Don Quixote? Why do you keep repeating Russian propaganda?

eirik Muse Join Date: Jan 2008 Posts: 706	Originally Posted by theprestige Why even post such third hand drivel? There's plenty not to like about Assange, that's actually substantiated. You don't have to repeat every stray bit of gossip. I actually appreciated a preliminary debunk of this. And it's not third hand drivel, it's from the dating-company itself it seems. So maybe first hand-drivel The story is all over twitter, wikileaks twitter account (e.g Assange) even adressed it and denied it. Can't find it now, I might be mistaken. Or the tweet I saw was a fabrication. Even if untrue, which seems likely, the story might explain the internet connection issue. Assange explicitly accused Ecuador of responsibility in a tweet today. Might be a reaction to the story. https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/788099178832420865

As regards the accusation the key "evidence" seems to be a cached document. Anyone know how reliable that is? I don't know unglobalcompact's setup but it's possible that they were in fact the ones who posted that while they were still members. With 9000 companies and 4000 "non-business" members I suspect their initial membership check is none too rigorous. Possibly they spotted these people planting a document, checked on them and decided a rather dubious looking dating site may not be for them. Their project Katia claims to have been written by a NotreDame mathematician, it was a guy who graduated in maths from ND so a bit of a stretch. My gut feeling is that if there was a shred of plausible support certain parties would be all over it.

Assange deserves to be punished for raping her (note he hasn't even been to trial yet!). The whole thing is a set up by the US to silence Assange (who hasn't actually been silenced). And of course Jules hasn't actually read the thread. Blah Blah Blah. And these women...they probably need to be raped and sodomized just to shot their big, fat mouths. Nothing like a good, hard rape to shut up a yappity woman.

You used to be able to buy cell phone and wifi jamming devices for about $30 on eBay, would render devices unusable (even for emergency calls) within a short radius.

I guess they don't want to be culpable in a possible Trump win.

Must be killing his ego I'd say that cutting off his internet is going to do more to get him to surrender to the police than any government pressure. Just imagine it. No communicating to the world how innocent and misunderstood he is. No adoring fans commenting on his posts. And worst of all, no internet porn.

Assage should have worked FOR the riches not against them Would have made some money, poor guy Maybe selling the Chinese one of the few remaining tech secrets of the US or something like that

Very unlikely as it would block all signals not just those for Assange, which would make the normal day to day work of the embassy more difficult. More likely they disabled his logon credentials either to their Wifi or LAN, whichever he used. Given the nature of Wikileaks, I doubt someone like Assange would use anything other than a wired connection for sensitive communications.

Given the nature of Wikileaks, I doubt someone like Assange would use anything other than a wired connection for sensitive communications. Right, but I was responding to Wudang's question about how Assange didn't have internet access in a good 4G reception area. The technology to locally knock out devices in a short radius is cheap and simple. A few years back a buddy of mine bought one on eBay to stop his daughter from using the phone while driving; we found it's effective radius to be about 10-15 feet. And I would assume security protocols would monitor hard line communications on the Embassy's network.
