(Updated) Assange Arrested

LONDON (The Blaze/AP) — WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange surrendered to London police Tuesday at about 9:30 am (GMT) as part of a Swedish sex-crimes investigation, the latest blow to an organization that faces legal, financial and technological challenges after releasing hundreds of secret U.S. diplomatic cables.
Assange was due at Westminster Magistrate’s Court later Tuesday. If he challenges his extradition to Sweden, he will likely be remanded into U.K. custody or released on bail until another judge rules on whether to extradite him, a spokeswoman for the extradition department said on customary condition of anonymity.
Since beginning to release the diplomatic cables last week, WikiLeaks has seen its bank accounts canceled and its web sites attacked. The U.S. government has launched a criminal investigation, saying the group has jeopardized U.S. national security and diplomatic efforts around the world.
WikiLeaks has also seen an online army of supporters come to its aid, sending donations, fighting off computer attacks and setting up over 500 mirror sites around the world to make sure that the secret documents are published regardless of what happens to Assange.
The legal troubles for Assange, a 39-year-old Australian, stem from allegations leveled against him by two women he met in Sweden over the summer. Assange is accused of rape and sexual molestation in one case and of sexual molestation and unlawful coercion in another.
Assange denies the allegations, which his British attorney Mark Stephens says stem from a “dispute over consensual but unprotected sex.”
Assange and Stephens have suggested the prosecution is being manipulated for political reasons – a claim that Swedish prosecutor Marianne Ny has rejected. Ny was not commenting on the Assange arrest until later Tuesday.
A spokesman for WikiLeaks called Assange‘s arrest an attack on media freedom and said it won’t prevent the organization from releasing more secret documents.
“This will not change our operation,” Kristinn Hrafnsson told The Associated Press.
But Hrafnsson also said the group had no plans at the moment to release the key to a heavily encrypted version of some of its most important documents – an “insurance” file that has been distributed to supporters in case of an emergency. Hrafnsson said that will only come into play if “grave matters” involving Wikileaks staff occur – but did not elaborate on what those would be.
Beginning in July, WikiLeaks angered the U.S. government by releasing tens of thousands of secret U.S. military documents. That was followed by the ongoing release of what WikiLeaks says will eventually be a quarter-million cables from U.S. diplomatic posts around the world. The group provided those documents to five major newspapers, which have been working with WikiLeaks to edit the cables for publication.
The campaign against WikiLeaks began with an effort to jam the website as the cables were being released. U.S. Internet companies Amazon.com, Inc., EveryDNS and PayPal, Inc. then severed their links with WikiLeaks in quick succession, forcing it to jump to new servers and adopt a new primary Web address – wikileaks.ch – in Switzerland.
Swiss authorities closed Assange’s new Swiss bank account Monday, and MasterCard has pulled the plug on payments to WikiLeaks, according to technology news website CNET. A European representative for the credit card company didn’t immediately return a call seeking comment.
The attacks appeared to have been at least partially successful in stanching the flow of secrets: WikiLeaks has not published any new cables in more than 24 hours, although stories about them have continued to appear in The New York Times and Britain’s The Guardian, two of the newspapers given advance access to the cables.
WikiLeaks’ Twitter feed, generally packed with updates, appeals and pithy comments, has been silent since Monday night, when the group warned that Assange’s arrest was imminent.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE.

Posted on December 7, 2010 at 11:03amNo, in fact, I don’t see why anything at all needs to be “done”. The “charges” were trumped up during his first major leak, then dropped with it looked like he was going to be quiet. He chose not to be quiet and suddenly new “charges” pop up out of thin air. Who in their right minds could ever think that this was coincidental? He’s being taken down, and “they” only need a sliver of a legal dressing to make it seem legit.

Posted on December 7, 2010 at 8:56amSee/Say, Jobless recovery, Bailout without Oversight, Stimulus {1 and 2} resulting in more government but no private sector jobs, Quantitative Easing part 2 {QE 2}, TSA abuses, FDA split into FDDA and FSA {but the news isn’t telling us that, is it?}, and this is only scratching the surface.
Governments are instituted by the people to serve the needs of the people, and remain only at the tolerance and allowance of the people. When government turns away from these ends and serves its own, that government is guilty of treason against the people, and should be treated as such.
Some may disagree with the above paragraph, but surely the government education system hasn’t deprived all of autonomous, independent thought. I don’t condone the actions that Julian Assange is accused of, but I do believe that everyone is innocent until proven guilty {a quickly fading perspective it seems}. I also do not condone the actions of the US government, and others around the world, that Julian Assange has brought to light, but these governments can only be tried in the court of public opinion, as no other exists with the authority to punish these offenders.
Is it “Rape” to have consensual sex, and a few days later one changes her mind and calls it rape?
Is it “Rape” to have consensual sex, and a few days later, due to conspiring with the first, decide that it too is rape?
Is it “Rape” to molest, exploit, grope, and in other ways degrade people, even if they don’t understand it themselves?
Who is the offender, and who is the victim in this? I suggest careful consideration, and perhaps a review of the Declaration of Independence before you settle on an answer.

What happened to compartmentalization. And he got them when he was in IRAQ. Ordinarily, I wouldnt believe it but I think the Obama Administration and all the communists/socialist/facists around him are trying to cause the destruction of America from within. It has been the goal of the people around Obama, all his life. I believe this is an attempt to get noone in the world to trust us. Remember, evil is what evil does.

You’re correct. Nobody at the levels being spoken of, either some possibly fictional PFC nor a snide little unconnected Australian, would ever have access to that level of information, let alone the quantity.
As I’ve been saying for a while, with very few listening, this is a setup to get us to cheer for the laws to be put in place to censor us. You cannot wield power over masses of people without their sanction, and if they can convince us to sanction our own silencing, our goose is cooked.

Posted on December 7, 2010 at 8:13amThis story smells to the highest. Like Fort Hood, political correctness has taken hold and powers behind the scenes are controlling the narrative. The real story is that an openly gay PFC serving in the military in violation of the current law, was able to download and leak 250,000 documents without being detected. But with DADT hanging in the lurch, the media has instead chosen to focus on a website operator who isn’t even American.
This provides an opening for the left to claim we need UN control of the Internet.
But when you look at the actual data leaked, which of it actually damages the US? Iran is finding out they have no friends in the Muslim world and are now seeking talks. North Korea is finding out China is ready to sell them out to the South and want new talks. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and other Muslim countries that fund terrorism have been exposed and will likely tighten up on finances.
Which of these leaks are unfavorable to Obama? Was the leak intentional?

Posted on December 7, 2010 at 7:52amSince Assange turned himself in, I highly doubt he is going to dump all that data. It makes no sense that he turned himself in, just yesterday he was threatening to release bankster docs if he was arrested. What caused his change of heart? I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he “died” during his stay with Brit Police.

Posted on December 7, 2010 at 8:10amIt’s very simple. The remaining documents that he has are all stored in the same vault that B.O.’s birth certificate and school records are. Wouldn’t that be a rip if he released B.O.’s records???!!!
At this point, he’s probably safer in police custody than in hiding because I am sure that several people have a number of small “gifts” with his name on them that they would like to deliver at a high velocity with pinpoint accuracy.
One of the things that he did do was take a deep strike at global warming and I am sure that Albore has a cream pie ready to deliver. He also took a swipe at our Secretary of State and that particular family has a habit of not overlooking things like that. Their response may have a bit more impact than just a pie in the face.

“As Simon Jenkins put it recently in the Guardian, “Disclosure is messy and tests moral and legal boundaries. It is often irresponsible and usually embarrassing. But it is all that is left when regulation does nothing, politicians are cowed, lawyers fall silent and audit is polluted. Accountability can only default to disclosure.” What we are hearing from the enraged officialdom of our democracies is mostly the petulant screaming of emperors whose clothes have been shredded by the net.”

GAYS leaked the documents because they are angry at Obama. It is very likely that Manning had other GAY accomplices. If that traitor had been right-wing, HE would be the villan, not Assange. The NYT is just as guilty, but they too get a pass because they are lamestream media.
