Oh look, there's Carl Bildt, of Lund Petroleum, involved with those mysterious massacres of the Sudanese who were conveniently living on those oil fields they wanted.
Oh look, there's that bald-headed guy with Madeleine Albright's firm (am I the only one who knows Albright is related to George Soros????).
Will Hillary party hardy when Wikileaks' Assange is kidnapped to America by RambObama? And will the same thing be done to him as they did to Padilla and Moussaoui (solitary confinement, extreme lockdown with sensory deprivation --- rendering them both incoherent)???
Bradley Manning is one touch guy --- he was subject to sleep deprivation for around 8 months --- I couldn't have lasted half that long.
He has my deepest respect and sympathy --- a real hero.
Yes, they do think that people are that dumb.
Be afraid. When Hillary (or any politician) and the U.N. talk about "internet freedom," it is code for exactly the opposite--internet control.
PS: Who will opt out or vote against Reinfeldt if Sweden sends Assange to the USA?
"The two countries are currently working on a number of initiatives to support internet activists involved in pro-democracy movements around the world."
No where is there a mention of Julian Assange in this article or from this new "alliance".
pro-democracy = pro-american, anybody else are terrorists.
But did the doors then close for a round of discussions on internet violations, where maybe Hillary produced an ultimatum to hand over Assange on a silver platter?
