The Declining West: Tragedy or Comedy?

Canadian FM John Baird
Paul Craig Roberts, Contributor

During the Vietnam War, Sweden was an independent country with a moral conscience, and Sweden gave sanctuary to US war protesters who refused the draft. Washington realized the cost to itself and purchased the Swedish government in order to prevent a recurrence of moral conscience on the part of any Western government.

In the aftermath of World War II and during the subsequent decades of the Cold War with the Soviet Union, the Western nations presented themselves as the moral conscience of the world. It turns out that this was largely a hoax.

The “Western nations” are merely pawns complicit in Washington’s crimes as Washington attempts to shut down all information in its pursuit of world hegemony.

Ecuador President Rafael “We Are Not A Colony” Correa Stands Up To The Jackbooted British Gestapo

A coward dies many deaths; a brave man dies but once.

The once proud British government, now reduced to Washington’s servile whore, put on its Gestapo Jackboots and declared that if the Ecuadorean Embassy in London did not hand over WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange, British storm troopers would invade the embassy with military force and drag Assange out. Ecuador stood its ground.

“We want to be very clear, we are not a British colony,” declared Ecuador’s Foreign Minister. Far from being intimidated the President of Ecuador, Rafael Correa, replied to the threat by granting Assange political asylum. (Source)

The once law-abiding British government had no shame in announcing that it would violate the Vienna Convention and assault the Ecuadorean Embassy, just as the Islamic students in the 1979 Khomeini Revolution in Iran took over the US Embassy and held the diplomatic staff captive. Pushed by their Washington overlords, the Brits have resorted to the tactics of a pariah state. Maybe we should be worried about British nuclear weapons.

How the So-Called Guardians of Free Speech Are Silencing the Messenger

John Pilger
Truthout 

As the United States and Britain look for an excuse to invade another oil-rich Arab country, the hypocrisy is familiar. Colonel Gaddafi is "delusional" and "blood-drenched" while the authors of an invasion that killed a million Iraqis, who have kidnapped and tortured in our name, are entirely sane, never blood-drenched and once again the arbiters of "stability."

But something has changed. Reality is no longer what the powerful say it is. Of all the spectacular revolts across the world, the most exciting is the insurrection of knowledge sparked by WikiLeaks. This is not a new idea. In 1792, the revolutionary Tom Paine warned his readers in England that their government believed that "people must be hoodwinked and held in superstitious ignorance by some bugbear or other." Paine's "The Rights of Man" was considered such a threat to elite control that a secret grand jury was ordered to charge him with "a dangerous and treasonable conspiracy." Wisely, he sought refuge in France.

The ordeal and courage of Paine is cited by the Sydney Peace Foundation in its award of Australia's human rights gold medal to Julian Assange. Like Paine, Assange is a maverick who serves no system and is threatened by a secret grand jury, a malicious device long abandoned in England, but not in the United States. If extradited to the US, he is likely to disappear into the Kafkaesque world that produced the Guantanamo Bay nightmare and now accuses Bradley Manning, WikiLeaks' alleged whistleblower, of a capital crime.

Confirmed: Wikileaks is Government Disinfo Operation

Kurt Nimmo
Infowars

It is now obvious Wikileaks is an intelligence operation and its frontman Julian Assange is a useful idiot.

The corporate media today is chock full of stories about the latest round of supposed diplomatic documents purloined by a low level Army intelligence analyst. According to the documents, the CIA asset al-Qaeda has managed to acquire “workable and efficient” biological and chemical weapons and the West stands on the brink of a “nuclear 9/11.” It is said the documents detail a 2009 NATO meeting where security chiefs briefed member states that al-CIA-duh was readying “dirty radioactive IEDs” to be used against British troops in Afghanistan.



Dirty bombs were debunked years ago and it is surprising the folks behind the fake diplomatic cables are attempting to pawn this fantasy off on us again as they did in 2002 when former Chicago gangbanger Jose Padilla was arrested and paraded in the corporate media as the face of al-Qaeda in America.



Once again, Pakistan figures prominently in this scary fairy tale. “Senior British defense officials have raised ‘deep concerns’ that a rogue scientist in the Pakistani nuclear program ‘could gradually smuggle enough material out to make a weapon,” according to a document detailing official talks in London in February 2009,” the Daily Telegraphreported yesterday.

Left out of the equation is the fact Pakistan would not have nuclear weapons if not for the United States.

Back in 1979, as the CIA was in the process of cobbling together the Afghan Mujahideen that would later become al-Qaeda, the globalist and Rockefeller minion Zbigniew Brzezinski forged a new policy toward the formerly pariah Islamic state. Brzezinski said “that our security policy toward Pakistan cannot be dictated by our nonproliferation policy.” Reagan also didn’t see a problem. “I just don’t think it’s any of our business,” he remarked when quizzed about Pakistan’s nuclear ambitions.
Moreover, the supposed smuggling of nuclear material out of Pakistan would face difficulty due to the fact the country’s nukes are locked down.

“Over the past six years, the Bush administration has spent almost $100 million on a highly classified program to help Gen. Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan’s president, secure his country’s nuclear weapons, according to current and former senior administration officials,” the New York Times reported on November 17, 2007. “The secret program was designed by the Energy Department and the State Department, and it drew heavily from the effort over the past decade to secure nuclear weapons, stockpiles and materials in Russia and other former Soviet states. Much of the money for Pakistan was spent on physical security, like fencing and surveillance systems, and equipment for tracking nuclear material if it left secure areas.”

In addition to dirty bombs, terrorists are planning to blow up commercial airliners with teddy bears, according to the Wikileaks documents. “Airport security staff are being urged to examine ‘children’s articles’ after US intelligence concluded that terrorists were plotting to fill them with explosive chemicals,” reports the Daily Telegraph.
Terrorists are attempting to manufacture nitrocellulose, a chemical which can become highly explosive if tightly packed. Details of how to prepare the chemical, which cannot be detected by airport X-ray machines, have been found in al-Qaeda training manuals.
You may remember the original al-Qaeda training manual. It was located in Manchester, England, and brought to our attention with much absurd fanfare. It was later revealed that the document was penned in the 1980s around the same time the CIA and Pakistan’s ISI were collaborating in Afghanistan, well before the CIA decided to create al-Qaeda from a database of Mujahideen warriors.

In short, more sexual molestation and naked body porno scanners will be required at airports if we are going to stop al-CIA-duh as it continues to plan sensationalistic terror events that either never occur or are executed by mentally impaired operatives and dim-witted patsies.

The Wikileaks documents are also designed to rekindle the hysteria manufactured by the government after September 11, 2001. According to the documents, a group of Qataris conducted surveillance on the targets of 9/11 and provided support for the phantom hijackers who were trained at U.S. military bases. “Details of the unknown 9/11 alleged plotters has never previously been disclosed,” reports the Daily Telegraph.

Here is a detail that has been previously disclosed (although assiduously ignored by the corporate media) – Osama bin Laden and the Taliban shared “intimate relations” with the Pentagon and U.S. intelligence right up until the morning of September 11, 2001, according to the most gagged woman in America, former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds.

The CIA groomed manufactured enemies from China to Chechnya, Albania, and Kosovo, Edmonds revealed, but you won’t find that in Assange’s mass of documents.

For all its dutiful work in the service of the globalist empire, Wikileaks has been nominated for the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize by Norwegian politician Snorre Valen, who said the shady outfit played an instrumental role in freedom of speech.

“WikiLeaks is one of this century’s most important contributors to freedom of speech and transparency,” the NTB news agency quoted Valen as saying today.

It also played a role in perpetuating cover stories used by government as pretexts to further erode our liberties and engage in wanton mass murder around the world.

US press should fear being targeted: Assange

AFP 

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assangesaid Wednesday that a US government effort to prosecute him should serve as a warning to journalists in the United States.

Assange, in an interview with the MSNBC television network, said there has been a "quite deliberate attempt to split off our organization from the First Amendment protections that are afforded to all publishers."

The WikiLeaks founder said he considers himself a journalist and "we all have to stick together to resist this sort of reinterpretation of the First Amendment," which guarantees the right to free speech.

"We have seen these statements, that The New York Times is, you know, also being looked at in terms of whether they have engaged in what they call 'conspiracy to commit espionage,'" he said.

"If they want to push the line that when a newspaperman talks to someone in the government about looking for things relating to potential abuses, that that is a conspiracy to commit espionage, then that's going to take out all the good government journalism that occurs in the United States," he said.

Assange added that if the "Washington authorities target us and destroy us" other journalists should be worried because "they're going to be next."

Julian Assange, Tariq Aziz, a Death Sentence and the United Nations Day of International Human Rights

by Felicity Arbuthnot
Global Research



" ... the high praise of God in their mouth, and a two edged sword in their hand ..." (Psalms : 149.5)
The avalanche of proof provided by Wikileaks that the U.S., and U.K., governments have been indulging in what millions have been convinced of for a very long time: just about every kind of underhand, lying, cheating, muderous skulduggery, with quite an enlightening amount of sneering and back biting towards their "allies." Predictably, they are now moving heaven and earth to shoot the messenger.
If every government Minister who had allegedly indulged in a frolic with a couple of ladies had an international arrest warrant issued against him, as in the case of Julian Assange, there would be some pretty empty parliaments. In Canada, Professor Tom Flanagan, a former advisor to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, went further, proposing that assassination was appropriate. Speaking on CBC., he suggested that President "Nobel" Obama should: “put out a contract and maybe use a drone or something.” When the programme's anchor suggested this was :"... pretty harsh stuff", Flanagan responded that he was: "... feeling very manly today." Is there a doctor out there?
In the U.S., former Presidential candidate, Mike Huckabee and ex-Pentagon official Kathleen McFarland, called for the execution of those responsible. McFarland, comes from the Reagan, Weinberger, Kissinger stable of "manly" stallions, having worked in a key position for the former, been a speech writer for the second and a key member of the latter's National Security Council staff. Huckabee is former Governor of Arkansas, now host on Fox News and a Baptist Minister - clearly of Old Testament, hellfire and damnation persuasion.
For Afghanistan and Iraq watchers, many Wiki revelations will be less than surprising, as indeed for those warily watching U.S., threats towards Iran, Pakistan, North Korea, Yemen, Somalia and elsewhere. What is gratifying is that there is now the substance to the lethal lies. The informed can no longer be dismissed as "conspiracy theorists", "fantasists" and the endless other dismissives that knowledgeable realists have been designated. The truth is there, in the the cables - to continue with equestrian metaphors - from the horses' mouths, so to speak.
Interestingly, countless words and inestimable time have been wasted on Assanage's and Wikileaks motives.Who cares? An invaluable light has been shone on untruths and deceptions. Such as have led to the destruction of two countries in the name of redemption from despotic rule and human rights violations. Now, in the name of this U.S., U.K., led carnage, is despotism and human rights violations of towering proportions.
Since it is still not known how many are in Iraq's prisons and indeed, even how many secret prisons and concentration camps (i) there are under U.S., continued occupation (by another name) another reminder of the invasion's lawless world. Just one of the uncounted, incarcerated in Iraq, either untried, or tried on lies and unsubstantiated charges, in what is now a western established rogue state, complete with "disappeared", in their thousands, kangaroo courts at best, or of a standard, woefully, even lower.
Early on after the coup, USA Today (3rd May 2003) ran a piece headed: "Aziz still doesn't know how to tell the truth." Speaking in Crawford, Texas: "President Bush expressed unshakable confidence Saturday about finding banned weapons in Iraq and complained that Tariq Aziz, one of Saddam Hussein's closest deputies, is not cooperating with U.S. forces who have him in custody. Bush said the deputy Prime Minister, the most visible face of the former Iraqi government, other than Saddam, 'still doesn't know how to tell the truth.' "
Aziz had repeated that Iraq had no chemical, biological or nuclear weapons - a truth that had been delivered in 12,200 pages to the United Nations weapons inspectors the previous December and hi-jacked by U.S., officials. Tareq Aziz, said Bush: " ... didn't know how to tell the truth when he was in office, he doesn't know how to tell the truth as a captive." We have long known who was telling the truth.
As the eighth Christmas of his incarceration approaches, with the latest death penalty - handed down on 26th October - stalking his every hour, the liars responsible for the Iraq pogroms walk free and appeals to Aziz's fellow Christians, in high places, including Archbishops, the Pope and politicians, have been met with deafening silence. "Thou shat not kill", seems to be very selective in Christianity. An ailing, indomitable man, who travelled to Rome, to ask for help once before, of the last Pope, believing that perhaps unity in faith, would persuade Vatican intervention to prevent the destruction of Iraq and its people, the country where believers acknowledge Abraham fathered Christianity, Judaism and Islam at Ur. The church was as silent and unresponsive, then as now.
Tareq Aziz faces the death penalty for one reason, he knows the truth about the liars and lies. He knows the details of the countless pages that were also removed from the back of the 12,200 pages, listing the countries and companies which sold weapons to Iraq, before facilities were destroyed by bombing in 1991, the subsequent halting by Saddam Hussein of a weapons production programme (ii) and the destruction of any residual remaining, by the weapons inspectors.
There are parallels in the West's fundamentalist fatwa's against Tariq Aziz and Julian Assange, though worlds apart : both have spoken the truth.
Supremely ironically, the original 2006 "trial", which resulted in the shameful, unforgettable lynching of Saddam Hussein and his colleagues, at which Aziz was also first condemned, was judged "fundamentally flawed", in a damning, ninety seven page Report (iii) by Human Rights Watch, who had consistently called for the trial, related to the deaths of those who attempted to assassinate Hussein and Aziz, in Dujail, south Iraq, in 1982. The verdict was "unsound", with the Court: "failing to meet basic fair trial standards. Unless the Iraqi government allows experienced international judges and lawyers to participate directly, it is unlikely the Court can fairly conduct other trials", it concluded, pointing out that the death penalty was "an inherently inhumane punishment."
In the light of this perhaps the United Nations might step in? Iraq was one of the earliest signatories to the United Nations Declaration, signing the day after the document was drafted and signed by President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill, Maxim Litvinov of the USSR., and T.V. Soong of China, on New Year's Day 1942. Iraq was the fourth signature of the twenty two nations who endorsed the document the following day. But Iraq has long been betrayed by the U.N., and its fine words. Thirteen years of a crippling siege in its name, under near-mute Secretary Generals. The last one, Kofi Annan (yet another utterly unworthy Nobel Peace Prize winner) then took seven months to finally say, after some pressure from the interviewer, that the Iraq invasion was "illegal." South Korea's Ban, has done nothing to redress a woefully discredited body, so far removed from its towering stated aims.
In the U.K., others who have been appealed to for clemency for Tareq Aziz, his colleagues and the nameless, uncounted disappeared in Iraq, include Middle East "Peace Envoy" aka illegal invasion enjoiner, fellow very publicly professed Christian, Tony Blair. On the 21st February 1994, when Shadow Home Secretary, Blair told Parliament he was adamantly against the death penalty. He is currently adamantly silent.
William Hague, now Foreign Secretary, has been approached by a number of people, a minion answers letters weeks late, on a matter of life and death and says Iraq is a "sovereign state." International lawyers disagree, one commenting succinctly: "Basically, Iraq is an occupied country, with the U.S., in actual control." Britain is thus in a position, as partner in the illegal invasion, to demand, publicly, that the executions are halted. Worth a try, but on 21st March 2001, Hague, then Conservative Leader, stated that he supported the death penalty, had always been in favour and had voted for it every time it was debated in Parliament.
Slightly at odds with his address at Lincoln's Inn, the core of the UK's legal establishment, on 15th September this year, where he stated: "Our standing is directly linked to the belief of others that we will do what we say and that we will not apply double standards." Further: "Where problems have arisen that have affected the UK's moral standing we will deal with them patiently and clearly."
Three years earlier, at the launch of the Conservative Party Human Rights Commission's Annual Report on 10th December 2007, International Human Rights Day, he stated: “I have pledged several times that the next Conservative Government will put human rights at the heart of foreign policy. As I have said before, I believe we must conduct our foreign policy in a way that does not deviate from our values; central to which is a deeply-held belief in the primacy and inviolability of individual human rights. And on this International Human Rights Day, I hope that we can all work for the day when human rights are regarded by everyone as truly universal.” Work out all those contradictions, dear reader.
Another approached has been Archbishop Vincent Nichols, Catholic Archbishop of Westminster. On 26th., November, he held a special Mass at Westminster Cathedral for all killed or injured in Iraq in recent weeks, especially those who suffered and died during the bombing of Our Lady of Salvation Church, in Baghdad on 31st., October. It also provided an opportunity for the Christian community in Britain to show their solidarity with, and to pray for, their brothers and sisters who are currently being persecuted and threatened by Islamists in Iraq, stated the Cathedral website. The "Islamists" in Iraq of the extreme persuasion, came in to a secular country with the invasion, are entirely U.S.,-U.K., planted and are now in "government" and the "security" services. Many are of the same fundamentalist Dawa Party who attempted assassination of Hussein and Aziz, in 1982.
Ironically, the Mass was: " ... attended by the Iraqi Chargé d'Affaires to the UK ...", part of the Vichy regime which has brought such unimaginable tragedy to Iraq. Archbishop Nichols, seemingly, does services and crocodile tears, for fellow Christians, tragically dead, but does not answer letters about them, when alive and facing impending death. (Westminster Cathedral is also where the man who bears so much responsibility for Iraq's dead, Tony Blair, was welcomed in to the Catholic fold in 2007.)
Another who has been approached is Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, leader of the seventy million strong Anglican Church. As Archbishop of Wales, on the 57th Anniversary of Hiroshima (6th., August 2002) he was one of three thousand signatories on a document handed in to Downing Street, condemning the detailed war plans to remove Saddam Hussein as : "immoral and illegal." It also called for the U.S., and U.K., to open their nuclear, biological and chemical weapons facilities to U.N., weapons inspectors. In January 2002, he had called the attack on Afghanistan: "morally tainted" and "embarrassing."
Since gaining an Office heading a vast church body which preaches peace, forgiveness and sanctity of life, he has joined the deaf, mute, and become unable to write, it would seem.
A further woeful representative of the same Church, went to Baghdad in 1991, at the personal invitation of Tareq Aziz. He returned with the invaders' tanks. Canon Andrew White, former Middle East envoy to the previous Archbishop of Canterbury, has now dubbed himself the "Vicar of Baghdad." His bio makes interesting reading, with a host of honours from Israel and the U.S., Government Cross of Valour.
In a recent interview, this man of God who travels Iraq, he says with 120 armed guards in armour plated vehicles, commented of his fellow Christians: "There is no comparison between Iraq (under Saddam Hussein) then and now. Things are more difficult than they have ever been before. Probably ever in history. They've never known it like now." Indeed, nether have Iraqis of all faiths, or none. Nevertheless, his intervention on behalf of one Christian, who welcomed him and introduced him to Iraq, is notable by its absence. Heaven forbid the funding, the bulk of which, he jokes, comes from the Pentagon, has come between him and his Christian conscience.
A poignant plea for Tareq Aziz and his colleagues to a Papal envoy was made by a Muslim, with deeply held beliefs. At a recent international human rights conference, he approached the Pope's representative: "Father", he asked, where is the Pope, the Catholic Church? "You are the shepherds, he is one of your flock, lost and alone ..." The reply was less than a commitment.
The tireless Paris based Committee for the Liberation of Political Prisoners in Iraq point out a glaring illegality in their petition for clemency (iv):

"The capital punishement meted out, last October, to Tariq Aziz, Saadoun Shaker, Abed Hammoud, Sabawi Ibrahim and Abdel Ghani Abdel Ghaffour is illegal because this punishment (was) suspended by the Provisional Authority of the Coalition, between June 2003 and August 2004. The 'High Penal Court' of Iraq must therefore apply to their case the most favorable provision provided by the Iraqi Criminal Code as stipulated by International Law.

The 'High Penal Court' must as well abide by an Iraqi Law that rules that people aged over 70 – as is the present affair- cannot be executed or are pardonned after their sentencing."
Today is the United Nations Day of International Human Rights. Will they mark it by demanding adherence to Articles in their fine Declaration of Human Rights, for Julian Assange and the incarcerated of an invasion called "illegal" by their former Secretary General? Article 3: "Everyone has the right to life, liberty and the security of person"; Article 5: "No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, degrading treatment or punishment." No hope.
So as Christmas approaches, with God's representatives on earth preparing their messages of goodwill and celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace, a frail man, awaits his fate.
At the beginning of November he wrote to his son, Ziad, asking that it be ensured that he be buried in Jordan, lest his body and grave be desecrated - and that his body be returned to his country: "after Iraq is liberated."
A poignant irony from one who told me, in an interview before the looming invasion: "When I was ten years old, I was putting leaflets through doors, handing them out on the streets, to stop (western companies) taking over our oil. I will not give up on Iraq now." He never did. Except from beyond the grave.
It will not have escaped him that Saddam Hussein was executed on 31st December.

Wikileaks Hacktivists Heavily Arm Themselves with Spam Cannons

WikiLeaks supporters download ‘Low Orbit Ion Cannon’ software en masse


Associated Press

Security experts see surge in downloads of spam used to attack sites hostile to WikiLeaks

WikiLeaks supporters on Friday downloaded increasing amounts of the spam-shooting software used to attack companies seen as hostile — a development that could challenge even Internet giants such as PayPal and Amazon.com during the crucial Christmas shopping season.

U.S. data security company Imperva says downloads of the attack program used to bombard websites with bogus requests for data have jumped to over 40,000, with thousands of new downloads reported overnight.

"It's definitely increasing," Imperva Web researcher Tal Be'ery said in a telephone interview from Israel.

The freely available software is a critical part of the campaign by "hacktivists" seeking to take revenge on sites they believe have betrayed WikiLeaks, the group that has outraged American officials by publishing hundreds of thousands of classified U.S. diplomatic cables and military intelligence reports.

CIA “Honeytrap” Ardin Deleted Twitter Posts Praising Assange

Kurt Nimmo
Infowars.com
December 10, 2010
Anna Ardin.
Anna Ardin, described in court documents as “Miss A,” had deleted Twitter messages speaking highly of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, the man she would later accuse of rape, according to Göran Rudling, the editor Consensus Now, a website arguing that laws based on sexual activities need to be consensual to not be considered criminal.
Assange was in Stockholm, Sweden, in August to speak at the invitation of Sweden’s Social Democratic Party. The event was organized by Ardin, who was the press secretary of the Brotherhood Movement, which is an adjunct of the Social Democratic Party.
The 31 year old woman is described as a feminist, leftist and animal rights activist who previously worked at the Uppsala University where she handled equality issues for the students’ union.
Earlier this week, the Cuban news agencies Granma and Prensa Latina stated that Ardin is a Cuban CIA collaborator who works with Miami-based, U.S. government paid intelligence agencies. They say Ardin is linked to the anti-Cuban terrorist Carlos Aberto Montaner.
In newspapers and blogs, the blond Swede has been called a “honey trap” — see herehere, andhere — a word that describes intelligence agencies using women to lure in male targets.
Between Saturday and Sunday, August 14-15, Ardin wrote the following about Assange on her Twitter account:
‘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’
“When Anna Ardin files a police complaint against Julian Assange on 20 August these tweets are removed,” Rudling notes. “Why? As far as I can tell, it’s not common for victims of crime to delete blogs, clean up their cellphones, and try to get witnesses to attest to things that aren’t true. Why is it so important to remove these particular tweets?”
Rudling wrote about his discovery on the Radsoft website on September 30.
James Catlin, also writing for Radsoft, reports that Ardin and Swedish associate Sofia Wilén invented the rape scenario in order to entrap Assange. “They went to the police station asking for advice, knowing the police would turn it into an accusation of rape. They’re also the ones who leaked the story to the tabloid Expressen,” writes Catlin.
Catlin claims Ardin’s SMS history proves she made the story up and plotted with Wilén “to leak the story to notorious Swedish tabloid Expressen.”
It was reported that Ardin moved to the Palestinian West Bank to work with an outreach group called the Ecumenical Accompaniment Program in Palestine and Israel, but this was later debunked. The group’s program coordinator, Pauline Nunu, said Ardin had canceled her trip and did not know where she was.
On Thursday, December 9, Rundle reported that Ardin may have ceased actively co-operating with the Swedish prosecution service and her own lawyer.
“The move comes amid a growing campaign by leading Western feminists to question the investigation, and renewed confusion as to whether Sweden has actually issued charges against Assange. Naomi Klein, Naomi Wolf, and the European group Women Against Rape, have all made statements questioning the nature and purpose of the prosecution,” Rundle wrote for Crikey.
A growing number of observers believe Ardin works for the CIA and was employed to set-up Assange. “After leaving Cuba, Ardin worked with web sites financed by USAID and controlled by the CIA,” writes the Australia-Cuba Friendship Society.
One of these sites was ‘Miscelánea de Cuba’, run by the Cuban Alexis Gainza. Through Gainza she became linked to Swedish agencies, including Dagens Nyheter and SVT, and entered the Swedish Social Democrat party.
Gainza is linked to the German Internationale Gesellschaft für Menschenrechte(International Human Rights Society), a group linked to German and U.S. intelligence and has some former Nazis (such as Ludwig Martin) and ex military figures (Dieter von Glahn) in its ranks.
The current president of the IGFM, Martin Lessenthin, works closely with the Venezuelan opposition party Primero Justicia, led by the anti-Chavez terrorist Alejandro Peña.
Primero Justicia, in turn is the main partner of the International republican Institute, and extreme right wing group funded by the US Government’s National Endowment for Democracy.
Both USAID and the National Endowment for Democracy are linked to the CIA. In 2009, a high ranking CIA official admitted that USAID is a cover for the agency. “A lot of what we [NED] do today was done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA,” Allen Weinstein, one of the founders of NED, admitted.
Julian Assange, who appears to be a dupe for a concerted government effort to shut down whistleblowers and criminalize the release of government information, may or may not be extradited from Britain to Sweden to face what now appears to be wholly invented rape charges.
A number of politicians and officials want Assange sent to the United States to face espionage charges. Assange’s lawyer, however, said that she did not believe the Espionage Act applied to Assange, who is she added currently in solitary confinement in Wandsworth prison in London, according to The Telegraph.
The 1917 law was used against American citizens such as the socialist Kate Richards O’Hare and Eugene V. Debs, Socialist Party presidential candidate in 1904, 1908, and 1912.
Julian Assange is Australian.

Assange Rape Accuser Flees to West Bank, Claims to be a CIA Agent

Crikey reports Ardin's last Tweet reads "CIA agent, rabid feminist / Muslim lover, a Christian fundamentalist, frigid & fatally in love with a man, can you be all that at the same time ..."


Julian Assange rape accuser Anna Ardin
