Assange Counts Down To Sweden
Julian Assange has worn an electronic manacle for 454 days. Every day for 454 days he has signed in at a police station. Every night for 454 nights Serco has ensured he is home by 10pm, monitoring him in a fixed location for a required 10 hours, an equivalent of 225 days in prison. These bail conditions are maintained in the absence of any charge being laid against him — or even a decision to prosecute. They were set after an Interpol Red Notice was issued for Assange’s arrest. Gaddafi attracted an orange notice around the same time.

The emails about Assange and Wikileaks are vicious; one little charmer refers to "switching him off", that is, murder. Others lament when Assange is not killed in a car accident and joke, "Screw the terrorist. He’ll be eating cat food forever … Assange is going to make a nice bride in prison".
Their language and suggestions are sadistic and their strategy reads like spooky prophecy because Stratfor’s advice is being taken. Whether that advice was commissioned or offered for free to friends may be revealed in future releases. As the email chain gets longer, their plans have greater substance and justification.
First, "Take down the money. Go after his infrastructure". The strategy to bankrupt Wikileaks is going rather well, largely through the cartel action banking blockade by MasterCard, Visa and others, and also through incessant litigation against Assange himself.

Whatever anyone's opinion on the rights and wrongs of Wikileaks, there is one mind-boggling fact that is the key to what's going on - according to Interpol, Julian Assange poses a greater threat to humanity than Ghaddafi did. By extension, he's probably worse than Assad as well.
Unfortunately for Assange, as far as the Australian government is concerned, he's on his own. Forelock-tugging is alive and well in Canberra.
