Revealed: Assange ‘rape’ accuser linked to notorious CIA operative
By David EdwardsMonday, December 6th, 2010 -- 3:43 pm
"One of the women that is accusing WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange of sex crimes appears to have worked with a group that has connections to the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
In August, Assange told Al-Jazeera that the accusations were "clearly a smear campaign."
"We have been warned that, for example, the Pentagon is planning on using dirty tricks to destroy our work," Assange told the Swedish daily newspaper Aftonbladet.
The WikiLeaks founder said he was told to be careful of "sex traps." Had Assange fallen for one of those traps? "Maybe. Maybe not," he said.
Catlin observed that both Ardin and Sofia Wilén, the second accuser, sent SMS messages and tweets boasting of their conquests following the alleged "rapes."
"In the case of Ardin it is clear that she has thrown a party in Assange's honour at her flat after the 'crime' and tweeted to her followers that she is with the 'the world’s coolest smartest people, it’s amazing!'" he wrote.
"The exact content of Wilén’s mobile phone texts is not yet known but their bragging and exculpatory character has been confirmed by Swedish prosecutors. Niether Wilén’s nor Ardin’s texts complain of rape," Catlin said."

Making a Mockery of the Real Crime of Rape
Assange Beseiged
By ISRAEL SHAMIR and PAUL BENNETT
"The plot thickens as our favorite hero of the Matrix; our own “Captain Neo” Julian Assange, faces danger yet again. When we last parted company with the legendary founder of WikiLeaks, he was breathing a sigh of relief after dodging spurious double-rape charges. The complaints were dropped, and our hero was free to roam the globe once again. But soap opera plots are repetitive; the story was quickly recycled and now our brave captain is again under threat of being castrated on Stockholm’s Stora Torget, or whatever the latest craven penalty is for molesting sacred Nordic virgins in a land where Vikings once ruled.
In other words, the farcical rape charges have once again been leveled against the Pentagon’s Public Enemy Number One. Julian Assange now stands accused of: (1) not calling a young woman the day after he had enjoyed a night with her, (2) asking her to pay for his bus ticket, (3) having unsafe sex, and (4) participating in two brief affairs in the course of one week. These four minor charges, worthy of Leopold Bloom’s mock trial in the Nightown chapter in Ulysses, have been shaken and fermented until they were able to cook up a half-baked rape case! Step down Iran; Sweden takes the cake! While Iran is notorious for unyielding conservative sentences against adulterers, Sweden shows us what the liberal side of the coin looks like as she invents criminal charges for failing to telephone and for careless use of preservatives in consensual acts of affection. Worse, they are purposely conflating consensual sex with rape for political purposes. In this, Sweden makes a mockery of the very real crime of violent rape.
An American Tea Party website the RightwingNews.com suggested that “a CIA agent with a sniper rifle rattle a bullet around [Assange’s] skull the next time he appears in public as a warning”. Rest assured that the CIA is wiser than the Tea Party. They at least have learned the lesson of Che Guevara. Nowadays they ruin a rebel’s reputation instead of wasting a bullet. They won’t raise Assange up to become a martyr, they simply use his own erstwhile allies to reduce him to a laughing stock. They stain him with opprobrium. It is much more certain and final than the marksman’s shot. History is witness to their growing efficiency in using this tactic. In the 70’s, they could only bring themselves to say that Philip Agee was a womanizer and a drunkard. Nowadays they do not stint at charges of pedophilia, for example to humiliate Scott Ritter for failing to go along with George W Bush’s charade of Iraqi WMD. As you might expect, the rape campaign against Assange might be just an initial volley. Perhaps they will decide he is a pedophile too. The unspoken threat is enough to send some faint-hearted supporters of WikiLeaks scurrying for cover."

"Rape is a horrible crime, and it should not be stretched to encompass minor misdemeanors and moral failings (like the failure to give an encouraging phone call the next day). Tellingly, when the complainant’s advocate was asked why the young women were unsure whether they were raped, he replied: “They are not lawyers”. Rape (like murder) is a crime that one needs no lawyers to understand. Rape is a capital crime: if the rape charges are proved false, then certainly the complainant should be charged with criminal defamation.
As for Julian Assange, we need him. We need our captain Neo, whether chaste or womanizer, in order to uncover the secret doings of our governments behind the Matrix. For our own sakes, we must all do our part to protect him from castrating feminists and secret services alike."

Never trust the CIA to have their hands in all manner of perfidy.
"Even when "clear-cut" evidence of the nuclear test preparations was recorded by a satellite at midnight on Sunday, six hours before the tests, no CIA warning was issued because the U.S. analysts responsible for tracking the Indian nuclear program had not expected the tests. They were asleep at their homes and did not see the pictures until they arrived at work in the morning. As a result, the U.S. did not learn of the preparations until after the blasts had occurred, when news services carried accounts of a public acknowledgment by India's Prime Minister. When the White House asked the CIA for details, the agency's top officials had none."

Thanks for stopping by and saying more in one word than others say in masturbatory hateful diatribes.
What I do best is research, and when I heard some here suggesting that Assange was a rapist, I found numerous sources, not just the ones cited in the post, that surely showed that this was a frame-up, while others on OS started to propagate the FACT that he was a rapist; no regard for innocent 'til proven guilty.
I hate when others attack the messenger to obcure the message.
Thanks, again, for stopping by.
RW, these guys had lost their standards so far before the rest of america lost theirs - now the entire country will go down rapidly, with these guys leading the way telling lies as they try to explain away their culpability.
"US Attorney General Eric Holder announced today that he has authorized “significant actions” by the Justice Department related to the investigation of WikiLeaks for possible criminal charges.
“National security of the United States has been put at risk,” insisted Holder, adding “The American people themselves have been put at risk by these actions that I believe are arrogant, misguided and ultimately not helpful in any way.”"
This is the administration that promised to have the most transparency of any administration.
Maybe they should appoint Julian as an asst. attorney general.
Many people are going to demonize him until he's viewed as, not simply a criminal, but as someone who should never see the light of day, OR history, which my guess would be a tough thing to take to the grave with you after so much effort to expose such shameless manipulations. And the infuriating thing is, those same people will piss and moan, whine and bitch and say "Where is the law? Where is justice" when they find themselves in a bind with the same.
Personally, a bullet to the head would be much kinder than what I envision the future for Assange when the Clintons and the CIA get finished with him.
So many people are going to demonize Assange until he's viewed as not simply a criminal, but as someone who should be seen as a monster of historical magnitude and my guess is that would be the toughest thing ever, to take to the grave with you after so much effort to expose such shameless manipulations by those who should truly be buried faceless and nameless. And the infuriating thing is, those same people who blindly accept the spoon-fed bullshit from the real shameless pigs will piss and moan, whine and bitch saying; "where is the law, where is justice?” when they find themselves in a bind NOT of such fallacious origins.
Personally, a bullet to the head would be much kinder than what I envision the future for Assange if the Clintons and the CIA get close to Assange, they’ll be destroying his life then tearing him inside-out, to be bronzed and hung from a bridge in DC in honor of some a not so subtle show for others with such thoughts running around in their pitiful minds against anyone who dares mess with the powers of the elite and their mercenaries.
The neocons aren’t out for blood, they’re out for dark ages torture techniques to maximize pain, after all, retribution for embarrassing our holy grail, the feds and the witch lady Clinton herself, deserves the most pain possible.
america #1 in hot dog eating, #1 in war making, #1 in armament sales
(often to both sides in conflict), and #1 in "defense" spending:
"US spending is more than the next top 14 countries at least . . ."
http://www.globalissues.org/article/75/world-military-spending
Wasn't reducing the military budget ANOTHER one of the lies obama told to get elected (asked rhetorically)?
And for those who think defense spending will decrease, I know a guy who claims to be Santa Claus, and he accuses the Easter bunny of being a fraud!
Thanks for stopping by.
I promised You a blog on the "Good War," and it should be coming shortly.
He will be made into a laughing stock and all who dare to think he did something good by exposing the back room deals of our gov't should pay close attention to what happens to him.
More secrecy is not the answer. Demonising more and more people who say daylight needs to be seen is not the answer either.
Declaring him a terrorist is the height of absurbity.
ALWAYS happy to hear from You.
Rated. I just wrote my take on the whole thing, back in my college days, I downloaded files that told how to...well...make atomic bombs!! WAAAAAA!! :D
Oh well, I didn't repost them though, just printed them out and read them, oh my, still a traitor I guess!! Pout!
I'd love to be Your cellmate.
I'm glad you found some somewhat expanding commentary about the nature of the actual 'incidents' in question because the mainstream media around here is far more interested in stumbling ahead of their own feet and wanting the fucking showdown at the OK Corral.
Rated.
Sedona Leigh (what a lovely name).
I'm VERY surprised and dismayed to hear Your comments about the newspapers, there.
I thought this kind of cr*p was confined solely to america, israel, and japan.
I guess this is the shape of things to come.
Please DO come back often, until at least, Tink and I are imprisoned for being subversives.
Can we be arrested by Swiss bikini models though?
Brits just don't have that 'Ooohlaaalaaaa' factor that will sell our movie!! ;D
Crap, I should have put a stat counter on my newest article. Bet I get a hit by some government agencies on that one!! :D
We should all watch this and keep on posting what happens. I applaud you Mark for finding this and posting it.
Crude profanity laced raves at the liar-in-chief. I, always, check the box where it asks if you'd like a reply.
I wonder why they NEVER reply to me???
This quote really made my day!

Something smelled rotten in Denmark from the moment I first heard of these spurious allegations.
Thanks for stopping by - You've just made my day (night here) a bit more pleasant to, and brought good dreams to the fore.

The multinational corporations are the enemy here not the right wing. Right Wing News, Blaze and Drudge no more speak for them than the “Democratic” Underground, the Huffington Post and Salon speak for us. Plenty of people on the right wing admire Assange. You have no further to look than your own comment section. rwnutjob is about as radically right wing as you can go without burning a cross yet he is supporting Assange with the same zeal you do.
Teeheehee!!
Strangely, GW Bush was a lot quicker to respond than Obama.
Wait, what? ;)
I've already called the police on you dear friend, beating me in the Rating wars like that!! Boohoohoo!! ;D
Thanks for the encouragement, Jack. You would cringe at the vituperative, profanity laced words left on white.gov and to eric holder, today.
I, also wrote a strong endorsement letter to Bernie Sanders.
Always good to see You here, Jack
Fine, be like that, Tink - I demand the upper cell bunk.
Failing that, I'll take the adjoining cell, and ask for conjugal visits with YOU.
Well, Rick, WE are not surprised, but there are amongst us those who are so deranged in their vendetta against men, that they have even abandoned the concept of innocent until proven guilty.
The cognitive dissonance of their misfiring neurons is such that they SELECTIVELY choose to ignore the FACT that the three consecutive prosecutors from Sweden, who can't seem to find a plausible reason to prosecute are ALL women.
Here in this part of the world we are very attentive to the wikileaks revelations (really just affirmations) especially since it has been clear for several years that the US has been laying the groundwork for possible ( I would say probable) agressions in this hemisphere.
Thanks for stopping by.
Our Puritan Calviist insticts tell US that sex was the cause of Adam and Eve being evicted from the Garden. And that if we pretend that it is something evil, we can regain entrance. All Bull.
Justice, integrity and honesty are DEAD, its all about VOTES now.

Good compilation of information.
the cia could be involved, through swedish politicians and government sympathizers, or it could be just groupies scorned.
julian was a fool to get in bed with anything but a blow-up doll, but he probably figured, what's the use of being the scarlet pimpernel if you don't score a few groupies now and then? hands up, any man that wouldn't be tempted.
If he were a truly dedicated and politically correct hero of the left he would have demonstrated respectful solidarity with feminist views by utilizing say, the classier and more upscale Hellman's.
Contrary to US propaganda, Wikileaks has been very careful about the nature of the information that it's released, as it has edited raw material and presented selected pieces of diplomatic cables, emails, etc. Then this "raw" material was turned over to mom and pop operations like Der Speigel and Al Jazeera, who went through their own winnowing process.
As to Sweden, it remains to be seen what will be done about the whole thing, since it was a closed matter previously. The thing you need to know about Sweden is lawyers there joke that before you have sex with a girl, you have to have her sign a contract with all of the stipulations. Swedish law is like that.
And whether Sweden would actually extradite Assange when member of the US Congress and others are calling for him to receive the death penalty is at least questionable.
Lastly, from one who knows only too well from personal experience. If you actually write something that the intel agencies don't know on the internet, they will capture your message and very strange things will happen not only to your computer but to your entire network. Your computer may suddenly give you an error message or freeze. You may have to reboot, and in extra special cases, you'll see your entire email history race on the machine race before your eyes backward. Just thought that you all should know. :)
there is no such agency, and you are clearly delusional for believing that there are intelligence agencies in the world who poison people with radiation in london for talking about the fsb, put people to sleep in qatar or blow up their houses in iran, or support somali pirates in beijing markinjapan.
there is no such thing as the central intelligence agency markinjapan, and never has been, as they do not exist except in movies.
c i a stands for culinary institute of america, and there has long been much urban legend style confusion about this, so please, try and get a grip and remember that the cia is the culinary institute of america, and that intelligence agencies only are in the movies.
Ever note that the cretins hardly ever annotate their blog posts, let alone comments?
Thanks, again, Mary, for all that You contribute to me, my further knowledge, and motivation to continue on with the struggle.
holder is a sh*tbag and i write to him with my real name and tell him that and much worse.
Thanks for stopping by.
Anyway, you're not supposed to be here for whatever purpose.
Some of the idiots who supported Ellsberg are now bashing Assange, but Assange's releases are even more cogent and important; and he's risking his life, not just his reputation.
Ellsberg calls Assange a true hero.
Thanks for stopping by, Al.
Always honored to have You stop by, and I HAVE been reading all of Your fact-filled posts.
It hurts to read of the pain and suffering there, as my wife says that of the students she teaches Japanese as a Foreign Language to, those from Sri Lanka are not only the most gentle, but also amongst the most ardent workers of all her students.
Either that or You'll occupy the same cell with me, Tink and Sheila, and likely a whole bunch more.
Let's bring nakie LadyMiko, and make it a real party.
We Old Timers must stick together.
Thanks for all that You are and all that You contribute.
You'll definitely be jailed.
Thanks for stopping by and thanks for adding me to Your favorites list.
We may not always agree, but I always find Your posts thought provoking.
The CIA stands for the Culinary Institute of America.
There is no American intelligence complex saying
"If Asange wanted to discredit himself, the right thing for him to have done was not rape someone, as that is too heavy, but to have admitted his shame over ties to Russia and China and his drinking and cocaine problem and have crashed himself into a bridge."
