"If law fails, CIA will assassinate Assange"

Judge Howard Riddle, the bane of Julian Assange's existence for the past three months, has granted Sweden's extradition request. The WikiLeaks founder has already repealed the ruling, but his worst fears have been cemented: the rape charges are going to follow him for the rest of his life, perhaps even after years of repeals. Former Reagan Administration Paul Craig Roberts says there is a concerted effort to shut Assange up. If the legal attempt fails, he'll be assassinated by a CIA assassination team.

The real criminals are trying to send an innocent person to death. Then what with the criminals? They're allowed to get back on TV and talk about the crimes they've committed. People applaud. They have fat juicy steaks with mashed potatoes and fine wine for dinner plus an apple turnover for dessert and a Wall St.-Stripper as a midnight snack. The real criminals are living the life while Julian Assange is fighting for his. What can I do about this fucked up world? I wanna puke but that wont help.

And I suppose you'd consider the Germans who fled their home country during the world war eras unpatriotic and disloyal civilians, right? There came a time when we were no longer willing to accept what our country has committed and if we choose to not pledge allegiance at all and completely sever our ties by fleeing, let it be so. You cannot determine what kind of an American I am when America itself lacks definition. I will do what's best for myself.

Enjoy your stay.

CIA assassination teams... in the 70s... Did McFly take us back to the 70s? God, what a douche who knows SQUAT on CIA, on actual methods. Too many movies, not enough reason.

Julian Assange is one man if they do succeed in eliminating him what does that achieve ? There are many more with the courage to replace him. The trend has been started there will be other organisations like Wikileaks. I think he was naive to trust the legal system, he should have disappeared when he had the chance. His enemies and ours i.e. Western governments are corrupt, they don't follow the rules and cannot be trusted.

bull shit

If Assange is assassinated there will be a Cyber world War just like world war 1 was sparked when Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated.

They better not assassinate Assange to blame on a Patzi.

4) Extradition law requires a "judicial authority" (e.g a judge or other independent body) to issue an extradition warrant, in order to keep the separation between the executive and the judiciary. It is an abuse to permit prosecutors, intelligence agents or other officials who are not independent to issue proceedings.

3) There are standard EU mechanisms (such as Mutual Legal Assistance) for Julian Assange to answer any questions the Swedish government may have. It is disproportionate, and an abuse, to use extradition proceedings in this manner.

Of the reasons for Julian Assange’s challenge to Sweden’s extradition order, relevant to this topic are:

1) Julian Assange has not been charged with any offense.

2) Sweden has a bilateral agreement with the United States which would allow it to surrender Julian Assange without going through the traditional tests and standards of regular, lengthy ’extradition’ procedures.

Americans do not know much about Assange still; other then what media was told to tell. He has a flawless record of toppling corruption. Mater of fact hes so famous in the world that they couldn't kill him. Now however im starting to worry. Your forefathers demanded this very behavior of Assange...Hes only a threat to those who have stolen power. Wake up people, your country is about to flip into red swastikas officially.
