Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

It is only a matter of time until Assange pisses off the wrong folks and has a serious accident. Putin would be one of them. Obama obviously is not.
If Assange is in England they are unlikely to do anything, unless Assange spews some hate speech against a minority or gets caught with a sharp object in his hand.
Like I said before, the Russians used up all the polonium 210 isotope…
The KGB (Kind Good Boys) were replaced by the FSB (Freakin Serious Boys)…
This guy is going to get Assange-inated and served up like potatoes Julienne.
This man has a serious death wish, maybe he should consult with Litvenenko’s widow…
Cheers
Hans-Christian Georg Rupprecht, Commander in Chief
1st Saint Nicolaas Army
Army Group “True North”
@oz: If Assange is in England they are unlikely to do anything…
.
From the Kate’s link: …former FSB agent Alexander Litvinenko, …was poisoned with a rare and highly radioactive polonium isotope while living in London in 2006…
.
Being in England won’t save Assange’s, errhh, @ss if the Russian’s take offense, me thinks?
.
he’ll get a job with The Guardian
Assange might end up getting the same treatment as those Somali pirates.
Putin will do it himself. On Russian TV.
martywd, I meant the UK authorities.
They got to Alexander Litvinenko because he trusted someone from the old country.
Vladimir Bogdanovich Rezun(Viktor Suvorov), a GRU defector(foreign military intelligence directorate of the Soviet Army General Staff of the Soviet Union), still lives and writes in the UK.
Some say Assange is an idiot, some say Assange is a martyr, but we can all agree that this guy has some giant balls.

Until someone removes them?
“Has died.” Yeah, that particular passive locution keeps popping into my mind whenever I think “Assange”. Why, despite my libertarianness, do I somehow admire that pr*ck Putin? Diagnosers of right-wing mental illness step up; bleety, where art thou?
Indy – he’s pleased you’re thinking about his b@lls. You know he is 🙂
My hypothesis for the reason that Assange is hiding in Britain is that he feels safest in Britain, certain that no matter what, the US will not have somebody eliminated on British soil.
I don’t think that Pres. Zero has the moral fiber to order any specific enemy eliminated anywhere, much less in Britain, however deserving and needful. However, Russian dictator ex-KGB Colonel Putin and his Famiglia have traditionally shown no such squeamishness. (e.g. Alexander Litvenenko; those Somali pirates; going back further in history, the attempted, nearly successful assassination of Pope John Paul VI). So, as far as spilling all the beans on Russia, Assange ought to rethink what is too far. That is the act most likely to see him end up “sleeping with the fishes”.
From the article:
“The unidentified high-ranking Defense Ministry official did not elaborate on how the pirates died, deepening a mystery…”
Hahaha, yes, it certainly is a mystery.
Assange fools with Russia, Assange is dead meat.
Hmmm..massive dosage of polonium-210 in ASSange future? Alexander Litvinenko unavailable for comment….
@oz: martywd, I meant the UK authorities
.
Read the following and then tell me the ‘UK authorities’ are not interested? I still think, like many others that Assange is now between a rock and a very hard place?
.
From the comments.
***************************************
So this was about a month before this latest release. I wonder, will all the indignant “bububu why won’t that chicken Assange go after Russia?” bedwetters now shut up?
Oops, wait I forgot. There’s absolutely nothing to see here in these cables and Assange must be assassinated so we can be sure such non-revelations never happen again. Ah, that’s better. Doublethink, when properly controlled, can be quite soothing.
***************************************
Our governments lie to us, more and more. And they will keep on lying to us until they are exposed as lying to us.
Enjoying Wikileaks…
The Russians poisoned them with Lead, not Polonium.
Lead is much “faster acting”
And who knew . . Lead makes fish food too!
Y’all need to understand that NOTHING he has done is of any concern to Obama. Any direct damage to The One is minimal and peripheral, and easily remedied with further slobbering from ABCNNBCBS and their dead-tree fellow travelers. And the damage to the United States is perfectly in line with the Head Nagger’s policies.
Okay…I’m thinking about something else now.
“Why, despite my libertarianness, do I somehow admire that pr*ck Putin? Diagnosers of right-wing mental illness step up..”
OK, I’ll bite, but I am not a “diagnoser of right wing mental illness” and I am definitely not bleety.
As a libertarian (as opposed to an anarchist) you believe that government has a limited role, and unlike all the other crap governments try to do, protecting citizens and assuring law and justice are actually essential. Western governments are tending more and more to expand the non-essential while defaulting on their essential roles.
Vlad Putin, whatever his other defects, at least knows he has to perform the essential.
I don’t think you are the only citizen of a western country who has at least grudging admiration for Vlad.
How did I do?
Andrey Konstantinovich Lugovoy former KGB bodyguard and acquaintance of Alexander Litvinenko(former KGB) put the polonium-210 in Litvinenko’s food or drink.
Lugovoy met with Litvinenko on the day Litvinenko fell ill (November 1, 2006). Litvinenko died later in November from radiation poisoning caused by polonium-210, and on May 22, 2007 British officials charged Lugovoy with Litvinenko’s murder, announcing they would seek his extradition from Russia. Russia declined to extradite Lugovoy, citing that extradition of citizens is not allowed under the Russian constitution.
IF Assange knows any FSB or former KGB agents and meets with them then yes it’s a possibility that they could assassinate him.
Otherwise, Assange is pretty safe.
As I said earlier above, Vladimir Bogdanovich Rezun(Viktor Suvorov) is still alive.
He knew better than to meet with old GRU acquaintances, or people from the old country.
Assange is Australian.
Australia isn’t known for assassinating people.
martywd, the UK courts are sticklers for the law.
If Sweden doesn’t present adequate proof to the UK authorities that there are solid grounds for arrest and extradition them there won’t be any arrest or extradition.
Fantasies aside, it’s. just. that. simple.
Did great felis.
However we do not need the “Head N****’s” comment. Remember Mark Matis, that is the domain of the left.
“Why, despite my libertarianness, do I somehow admire that pr*ck Putin?”
I get it Mamba; this guy is sort of the white version of this guy:

I guess you’ll have to lick him to know for sure eh?

As far as obamma (funny, if you spell check obamma, Mohammad is one of the more correct choices) is concerned, nothing that has been leaked has really affected him personally.
http://hillbuzz.org/2010/12/03/question-why-cant-wikileaks-release-obamas-many-missing-documents/#comments
I am totally surprised Assange is alive today.
,
This is what Assange is accused of in Sweden:
http://tinyurl.com/2c4wjom
I don’t think that the UK will arrest and extradite Assange for something as iffy as this and isn’t a part of the criminal code in the UK.
I saw Putin being interviewed by Larry King the other day, and he did not sound amused about the Batman and Robin stuff (although at least he was Batman, now imagine if this diplomat had gone the other way which on looks alone would be more appropriate).
He also launched into about five minutes of Brezhnev-speak when questioned about those spies recently arrested and expelled from the U.S. — something along the lines of “nobody was harmed” and “we need these people in case order breaks down.”
I think this guy wants to be a commie and a capitalist at the same time, so we could call his ideology Putinism. Well, now they have the chance to screw up both the Winter Olympics and the World Cup of soccer, and I’m sure they will do the usual bang-up Russian job on both of them.
Can’t wait to see where Germany gets to play their games — probably Vorkuta, it’s a part of Russia with which many of their grandfathers will be familiar.
To paraphrase Chevy Chase:
Generalissimo Julian (Pain in the) Assange is still not dead enough yet.
If, let me fix his name first, AssHanged systematically releases documents country by country, we may eventually see who is pulling his strings, or gets pissed off the most. As he will eventually run out of countries to piss off or hide in; or heartbeats. I’m betting on the latter occurring sooner.
Assange is accused of “Sex by Surprise” in Sweden, punishable by a SKR5000 fine. And that’s what an Interpol warrant was issued for? Don’t think so.
Here’s a theory….
As the Swedish leak shows, Sweden has been participating “secretly” in the war against terror. This Swedish warrant is a ruse to get him into custody; once he’s arrested he’s on a plane to Guantanamo.
@Oz
England & Sweden, both members of the EU, there is likely some reciprocity on extraditions built into EU rules.
“Well, now they have the chance to screw up both the Winter Olympics and the World Cup of soccer,”
worse than South Africa
If one admires Putin, libertarianness is sleeping.
@ Al the fish,
Extradition treaties usually exempt extradition for offences that don’t contravene the laws of the host country or are based on political offences in the nation asking for extradition.
Beyond that, the nation asking for extradition has to provide reasonable proof that an offence has actually taken place.
@Oz, as I said since are both EU countries- there may be provisions within the EU framework that override your arguement.
@ Al the fish,
Cite the provisions or shut up.
“May be” can take a hike.
About Putin,
If you believe the media, what they say Putin says, remeber, they filter and omit as much as any other “news” they manufacture.
If you know things first hand, good. Otherwise be weary what you read.
Have hard time to put Putin on any scale so far.

Assange tripped on his ego and died?
busy little murderous conservatists still at it:
http://www.cbc.ca/politics/story/2010/12/03/wikileaks-assange-flanagan.html
what’s that you say? we don’t have tilted justice? ok to incite murder if you’re in steve-o harpoons gubbamint?
ah, I see, only if someone embarrasses the bigshots by plastering their secret communications all over the school cafeteria bulletin board.
@OZ
Per your obnoxious form of a request, I did the research, and yes I was wrong.
Here you go:
http://europa.eu/legislation_summaries/justice_freedom_security/judicial_cooperation_in_criminal_matters/l14015b_en.htm
And:

ters/l33167_en.htm
In brief, if a charge in an EU country can result in a period of confinement of at least 12 months minimum, the other EU country must comply even if it has no equivalent law.
But as you provided the link to the actual charge, since there is no jail term involved, Assange avoids extradition.
But you were also wrong in assuming the country where the accused is hiding has to have an equivalent law on its books, if we are talking England and Sweden.
@oz
FYI, I have provided a response that is awaiting clearance by our hostess Kate, as it includes links.
So hold on to your horses for a little while please.
Al the fish,
Why don’t you cut and paste a small salient paragraph from one of your links here and I’ll put it into Bing.
An alternate method would be to post single links as they are more likely to get through the spam filter.
Also, it helps to convert those single links to TinyURL.
felis corpulentis @1:23 – that seems about right. Of course the Eastern Europeans always go far too far in one direction. They want a Strong Man, a Tsar, an Uncle Joe!
But yeah, I basically want a government that does very little, very ruthlessly and very well. I guess Putin embodies the ruthless part.
Indy – hmmm, dunno. Maybe it’s just a bad boy thing. I mean, Putin never baked me a gourmet cake in the dream kitchen he built me…
Ken @1:36 – I agree; but it is actually a South Park reference, and Indy started it.

Tomorrows news: Assange dies in tragic accident: dies from massive blood loss from tragic fall on scissors that pierce him in throat. The nation morns…Next story please.
Still bad though. Ugly, unnecessary, juvenile, and it plays into the lefty stereotypes of the right. Stop it, Mark Matis. Stop playing to the lefties’ stereotypes and trying to make us (by which I mean me) look bad.
In fact, are you a stealth-troll?
Orlin – I recken the stress will get to him. He’ll commit suicide by shooting himself repeatedly in the back of the head.
Russia is awfully good at making people disappear.
And making Faberge eggs.
I wonder why Assange wasn’t (ahem) dealt with before. Who can absorb a hit if it means someone else can’t? Just asking.
they tuk er jerbbs!
