Sweden Drops Phony Assange Rape Case

Since June 2012, he’s been holed up in Ecuador’s London embassy, granted political asylum by its government weeks later in response to phony Swedish rape charges.

Britain conspired with Washington to get Assange to Sweden, once there extradited to Washington where a reported sealed indictment charges him with spying under the WW I relic Espionage Act.

Neocon Attorney General Jeff Sessions calls arresting him “a priority…(W)e will seek to put some people in jail” for whistleblowing, he blustered. CIA head Mike Pompeo said he deserves the death penalty.

He lied saying “(i)t’s time to call out WikiLeaks for what it really is: a non-state hostile intelligence service often abetted by state actors like Russia.”

“Julian Assange has no first amendment freedoms. He’s sitting in an embassy in London. He’s not a US citizen.”

Anyone exposing US high crimes and other wrongdoing is vulnerable to police state arrest, prosecution, conviction and imprisonment for the crime of doing the right thing.

Swedish Public Prosecution director Marianne Ny saying she’ll no longer pursue rape charges against Assange, her arrest warrant dropped, doesn’t mean his ordeal is now over. Far from it.

His lawyer was way premature calling the decision a “total victory,” adding “(t)he preliminary investigation has been dropped and the detention order has been withdrawn, and from Sweden’s point of view this is now over.”

That’s the good news. What’s bad is if he returns to Sweden (voluntarily or involuntarily) before the statute of limitations expires in 2020, the rape case could be reopened.

More serious is US authorities wanting him extradited to America. Britain almost certainly will help get him there if he leaves Ecuador’s embassy.

London’s Metropolitan Police said a warrant for his arrest remains for failing to surrender to the courts on 29 June 2012. If he leaves Ecuador’s embassy, it’ll be executed.

Virtual certain extradition to America will follow unless his lawyers can get the London arrest warrant dropped.

On Friday, WikiLeaks tweeted “UK states it will arrest Assange regardless & refuses to confirm or deny whether it has already received an extradition request from the US.”

In February 2016, citing the findings of the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, human rights expert Alfred de Zayas said Assange’s detention violated provisions of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR).

He called on UK and Swedish authorities to assure his safety, physical integrity, and right of free movement, along with paying damages for his long, unjustifiable ordeal – first as a political prisoner under house arrest, then refugee in Ecuador’s embassy to avoid unjust extradition to Sweden, then America.

He stressed whistleblowers are vital human rights defenders, deserving high praise, not prosecution.

Assange’s ordeal is far from over, subject to UK arrest, extradition to America, or CIA assassination if he leaves Ecuador’s embassy.

Major Swedish Newspaper Calls For Ban On Vehicles to Fight Terrorism

One of Sweden’s biggest newspapers has called for new regulations on motor vehicles in Stockholm after Friday’s massacre involving a terrorist who stole a delivery truck and drove it over the bodies of innocent victims on the city’s busy sidewalks.

While there have been many morbid jokes about the need to “ban assault trucks” as jihadists have chosen vehicular people-slaughter as their favored method for mass murder, Eva Franchell of Aftonbladet has penned an article that brings the meme to life, and highlights the depths to which the socialist-globalist Swedish establishment are willing to force their society in dhimmitude to the Islamic invasion.

“Cars have turned into deadly weapons. They have been easy to steal and then nothing has been able to stop their advance,” she writes in Swedish. “In Nice, Berlin, Jerusalem, London and Stockholm they have been used as effective murder machines for terrorists who wanted to kill many people.”

“If people in the future will be protected, cars must simply removed from the collection sites and city centers.”

“It is not reasonable that a big truck can be driven right into Stockholm’s popular walking street on a Friday afternoon just before Easter,” she continues. “Politicians have been good at protecting themselves, but now they must also ensure citizens’ needs for secure environments.”

Nowhere in her piece does Ms. Franchell discuss Europe’s unfolding open borders disaster and its direct correlation to an escalation in terrorist attacks on European soil – she blames inanimate objects instead.

She also failed to mention the jihad component involved in each of the incidents she cites.

She made no mention of the fact that Friday’s killer was an illegal alien from Uzbekistan with ties to terrorist organizations who had been evading deportation after his application for asylum was rejected last year.

An additional layer of twisted irony can be found in the fact that a heroic security used his own vehicle to prevent Friday’s attack from being far worse – a classic “good guy with a gun stops bad guy with a gun” type of scenario.

“Hundreds of lives were saved by a quick-thinking security van driver who drove his van directly into the path of the rampaging lorry, forcing the terrorist to lose control and crash,” reports the Daily Mail. “He said that his first thought was to protect the Swedish parliament, which was just 500 metres down the road from the scene of the attack.”

Franchell demands that barriers be erected in Stockholm’s streets and the flow of traffic be more heavily regulated – but when it comes to her nation’s borders, those same policies apparently do not fit her agenda.

“There are stops for unwanted cars that can also be folded down for any significant transport… the technology is there,” Franchell says. “The cars have dominated our cities for decades, now it is the people who need space.”

“Now it is cars that must be regulated.”

Aftonbladet took great pleasure in roundly mocking President Trump after he expressed his concern with the escalation of violence and crime in Sweden due to the massive influx of illegal aliens and asylum seekers.

In response to Friday’s bloody terrorist attack, more than 20,000 Swedes threw a “Lovefest” and the future is bright and safe again.
