Assange speaks out

09/01/2010

Julian Assange has talked to Aftonbladet and Expressen about the rape accusations. He has not been questioned about the rape and sexual molestation accusations only about the lesser accusation of molestation. He thinks this is all about someone using the system for personal revenge and that this is a colossal waste of time and other resources as well as an abuse of the process. The accusations Assange finds to be baseless and disturbing. He has not been asked by the authorities to tell his side of the story. Assange continues that he has lost his confidence in the Swedish legal system as the police has not had to prove their accusations and that the whole matter has been transferred and even pushed from being under the rule of law to becoming a public matter. His comment to todays reopening of the rape accusations is that he was dumbfounded concerning the integrity of the Swedish judicial system.

Swedish women in doubt - go to the police today

09/01/2010

If Swedish law, Swedish police, Swedish prosecutors, as far as I can understand from all known facts in the case, consider having unprotected sex that you later on feel might have been risky, with someone you invited to you home, you bed, had sex with earlier. Women or men that now feel that they actually might have been victims of crimes such as rape or molestation, should immediately go to the nearest police station and ask for advice in the matter. Go today and tell the police your story. Who knows, maybe the police will have to put everything else aside and start looking for thousands of men arrested in their absence for rape.

Prosecutress excess

09/01/2010

Do we only have female prosecutors, or prosecutresses in Sweden. The fact that now four prosecutresses have had their say in this bizarre case makes me believe that this is not abour rape or sexual molestation or whatever the law calls it. It is about a feminist agenda where, at any cost, and there will be costs for the Swedish tax payers and all others involved, when this case including the radical feminist agenda is being pushed to its limits. I think Silbersky now need to step it up and stop complaining and do something about this absurd situation.

Third prosecutor decides that it is rape, after all.

09/01/2010

from aklagare.se today
Director of Public Prosecution Ms Marianne Ny has decided on the request for review in the Assange matter.The investigation concerning rape will be reopened.There is reason to believe that a crime has been committed. Considering information available at present, my judgement is that the classification of the crime is rape. The basis for further considerations is not sufficient at the moment. More investigations are neccessary before a final decision can be made.The investigation concerning molestation will be extended to include all allegations in the original police report.

- There is reason to believe that a crime has been committed. Based on the information available, the crimes in question come under the heading of sexual coercion and sexual molestation, respectively.Director of Public Prosecution Marianne Ny will be leading the further investigations. She will be assisted by Deputy Chief Prosecutor Ms Erika Lejnefors.

- Due to the investigation and the persons involved in the matter, I cannot give more information concerning details in the investigation.

Outsourcing hurts people and the USA - share your story on igotoutsourced.com

08/31/2010

Outsourcing is a race to the bottom. The US will assume the same living standards as countries we outsource to, rather than them raising to our level.
One of the largest accounting firms in the USA, with IT headquarters in Tampa,  has outsourced thousands of jobs to India and south America for the last few years. Yesterday another 500 employees got the dreaded phone call that they had been fired. Many of them will have to spend their last months training their outsourced replacement before having to pack their skills and go. Needless to say it will be difficult for the latest victims of outsourcing to find a new job in this economy. A new report released by InformationWeek draws the conclusion that one of the top three reasons to why the US will loose its position as global IT innovation leader.

Assange interrogated by the police yesterday

08/31/2010

Assange was heard by the police concerning the molestation charges yesterday. According to Aftonbladet the molestation charges are based on claims by Anna Ardin or Sofia Wilen that Assange damaged a condom on purpose. Assange's lawyer, Leif Silbersky, does not want to comment on the details of the interrogation but says that he finds the case absurd. The chief prosecutor has not published a verdict in the case, according to aklagare.se the preliminary investigation is still ongoing and therefore she cannot comment on the case. The lawyer representing Anna Ardin and Sofia Wilen has asked for a trial of the prosecutor's decision to not charge Assange for rape. The trial and investigation in this matter will be handled by Utvecklingscentrum in Gothenburg.
