The Ballad of Julian Assange

Emmaus Children: The Ballad of Julian Assange (2010)
www.lasinenherne.net

I heard the news just yesterday that they've taken you away
to be extradited to the USA
They say that it's to Sweden that they're gonna take you first
but the Yankees are pressing hard - for revenge is what they thirst

They persecute your website and they kill your funding too
There simply isn't anything they'd hesitate to do
They've used bullets, napalm, bombers to get rid of who they hate
and they're willing to use all these things to seal up your fate

They'll be doing all they can to lock truth up in jail
but what their efforts will come down to is one big epic fail

They claim that you're a rapist but we all know it's not true
Instead the cause for all this is what you and others do
to spread the word 'bout nasty deals, to spill their beans big time
to tear the veil of secrecy that's covering up their crime

If you lived in China we all know what that would mean
you would get a Nobel prize and your own limousine
and lots of good publicity for doing the right thing
but you've taken on Amerikkka - and that's the biggest sin

They say that you're a menace to society for delivering them a blow
revealing what the ruling class don't want us to know

These Huckabees and Palins they all wish that you were dead
but even if they succeeded in cutting off your head
they couldn't turn the tide, their system's cracking at the seams
you can always kill a man but you can never kill our dreams

The "rape" accusations are trumped up by the US, just for excuse and defaming, and Sweden is their lapdog. Thus US can get him. And Julian doesn't want to answer, because he knows the charges are trumped up and he don't want, nor should, step right into honeytrap.

Free Bradley Manning !!!!!!

Long live Wikileaks !

Long live all the brave whistle blowers the world over.

I am a woman, and I agree. At least in this case, imho, it's a matter of how he didn't turn out to be as charming as these women probably hoped he'd be, and the fact that the second girl actually contacted the authorities AFTER she contacted the other woman and discussed, in detail, what happened between her and Assange.

Also, if I don't want to have sex with someone, I would say it out loud because people can't usually read your mind.

@ Nukespoon I feel sorry for you (and the 22 others that liked ure comment) If you really believe the Hype.... Mr. Assange has not been charged with anything!!!! And if u care to research the details ull find that the sex was consensual.... We should HONOUR THIS MAN .... If u want to live like a sheeple with your eyes closed to the coruption in this world go for it...
