David Guyatt Wrote:Home Secretary, Theresa May, has ordered a "security review" as the Conservative Grovelment denounce Wikileaks latest revelations. The European arrest warrant for Assenge has been received by Scotland Yard.
And the US Attorney General is seeking laws to use against Assange:
Quote:5.20pm: Here we go: the US attorney-general says he has unspecified "significant" actions in the works against WikiLeaks regarding a criminal investigation, although won't say what they are exactly they may be:
Attorney General Eric Holder said Monday that he has authorized "significant" actions related to the criminal investigation of WikiLeaks as the website faces increasing pressure worldwide for publishing sensitive US diplomatic cables.
"National security of the United States has been put at risk," Holder said. "The lives of people who work for the American people have been put at risk. 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. We are doing everything that we can."
Holder, speaking at a news conference on financial fraud, declined to answer questions about the possibility of the US government shutting WikiLeaks down, saying he does not want to talk about capabilities and techniques at the government's disposal.
And earlier this:
Quote:The Swiss Bank Post Finance today issues a press release stating that it had frozen Julian Assange's defense fund and personal assets (€31,000) after reviewing him as a "high profile" individual.
The technicality used to seize the defense fund was that Mr Assange, as a homeless refugee attempting to gain residency in Switzerland, had used his lawyers address in Geneva for the bank's correspondence.
Late last week, the internet payment giant PayPal, froze €60,000 of donations to the German charity the Wau Holland Foundation, which were targeted to promote the sharing of knowledge via WikiLeaks.
WikiLeaks and Julian have lost €100,000 in assets this week.
One of the most fascinating aspects of the Cablegate exposure is how it is throwing into relief the power dynamics between supposedly independent states like Switzerland, Sweden and Australia.
WikiLeaks also has public bank accounts in Iceland (preferred) and Germany.
Please help cover our expenditures while we fight to get our assets back.
Compare these actions on behalf of the western grovelments to this:
Quote:4.31am: Time magazine is running its annual poll of readers for its Person of the Year award – and Julian Assange is currently number one in the ratings, with more than 200,000 votes.
This is shaping up as a people versus elite/entrenched power battle.
Sit back and watch laws being broken, ignored and retrospectively changed to nail Assenge. If he has any sense he'd bugger off from Blighty where the ConLib grovelment will bend over forwards and grin in oder to appease American demands.
Amazing, given the middle of the road nature of most Time Readers!!!! And who do 'they' think will get the 100,000 Euro confiscated. Assange is in deep shit if he can't pay lawyers for his defense. Even the better lawyers [minus a handful worldwide] won't work for promises or free! It is as though the whole Western and part of the non-Western World were controlled by one puppet master and that evil master is now out after Assange and Wikileaks - even making clear threats to kill his children!
