Now hear this, the sexual assault charge comes because in Sweden it is illegal to have sex with any one other than a bona fide partner if not wearing a condom. That bit of useless information came from an interview here on the ABC, our version of Aunty beeb.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Two Standards
A letter from the general public in todays paper The West Australian.
Julian Assange was very eager to want people and countries to answer to his so called Wikileaks but when it comes to the reverse he cries foul and looks for sanctuary to avoid standing up to his own so called system of truth.
I am pleased to know that other members of the public are not taken in by all this propoganda put out by his followers. Cheers John Sabourn

When I was on the ESSO VLCCs in the 70s and 80s world wide, we always sent our position to an American organisation, I forget the name now, maybe someone knows, AMVER.... something.

If I was abetting man I would lay money on it .
If he is sent to Sweden he will be sent to USA. ASAP.
On american TV they agree with my thinking.
And as I said before "what about the human rights of the young soldier held without trial for 800 days. in a small cell alone.
The public in the usa are now wanting him freed. Will he be freed "no chance."
I have lived in the usa and they believe everything that the goverment tells them.Outside of their own state does not exsist.
The people in usa do not believe that there is camps in Cuba. Where there is people jailed without trial. Ah that never happened it was just other countrys picking on us.
We are loved all over the world. Get real !!
Bets will be taken.
I was once told by a lawyer in the states that IRA bombs never hurt children. Smart bombs then.I told him to go visit warrington and say that.

Thats ok Brian .
But in port and asked for all that info about the dock.
I know it was because a load of Russian engineers were there.
In Berbara the old man asked me to run a film (walport) for the russians.
I was in the bad books because I was showing " FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE". Funny the guest never arrivied.

As I have said before.
Lets all wait for the truth of the matter.
If he was a bad boy in Sweden jail him.
But to me it's all rumoers.
I just want the truth behind the whole thing.
Then I will make up my mind.
I don't think we will ever get that.
Until that I will keep my mind open.

Ron the only thing I can gather from the rumours via the press is that the 2 females accusing him are 2 employees of Wikileaks. Their names have not been given, but this is normal prior to any rape or attempted rape charges. Cheers John Sabourn.
