In reply to the discussion: No charges ever pressed: Assange marks three years of UK detention [View all]treestar
(82,383 posts)Julian published stolen documents, which is always good. The US is Evil, and anything it classifies is obviously classified only to hide bad behavior of its employees.
So they decided to persecute Poor Julian. They hired a couple of women to charge him with sexual misconduct in Sweden, even though their ultimate aim is the death penalty in the U.S. But then the plan went awry, and they let him get away to the UK.
So they had to start extradition proceedings and get Sweden to do it. Sweden is a bad place, because they once did something that can be considered a Bad Thing. The US is of course the Evil of All Evil.
So the UK said it was OK to extradite Julian to Sweden, even in appeals! But the UK courts failed to pin down a corrupt Chilean dictator once, so now, nothing they do counts at all. Anyway the US is making them do it, like a puppet, along with Sweden.
The big bad Evil US even says it will not press any charges against Julian. That can't be true. It just can't be true. The US must be lying, in order to lull Julian into going to Sweden to clear up with false charges. Once in Sweden, the US will press charges, file for extradition and bingo, Julian will be in Washington tried for Espionage and get the death penalty! This intent is a clear as mud.
