The Assange case: The reason Julian wasn’t interviewed in England

Posted on by

Ever since August 2010, many people are convinced that the story of Julian Assange and sex crime allegations is a giant conspiracy between the Swedish political power elite and main stream media. The power elite  controls police, prosecutors and judges. Media smears Julian Assange and will do anything to prevent the truth to emerge. Everything is so simple if you have paranoia, isn’t it?

There is no doubt that police and prosecutors have made big mistakes in this case. Unfortunately, it is common in police investigations. Nothing unique. But just because police and prosecutors made ​​mistakes does not mean it is a conspiracy. Incompetence isn’t a conspiracy.

Something that I thought was strange until now is why Julian Assange wasn’t interviewed in England. It seemed like a quick and efficient way to complete the investigation. During the extradition hearings in London on 7-8 February 2011 expert witnesses Brita Sundberg-Weitman and Sven-Erik Alhem were asked about this. They were highly critical of superior prosecutor Marianne Ny for not interviewing Julian in England. Now it turns out that the English lawyers withheld important information for both Brita, Sven-Erik and the court. Information that almost certainly influenced their responses. Continue reading →

Professor Marcello Ferrada de Noli and honour-related violence

Posted on by

This article is a re-written version of my original article. Since it is the first time that I have re-written an article, let me mention the reasons for it. The original article contained many very nasty comments aimed at ridiculing Professor Marcello Ferrada de Noli. These comments are now removed. My opinion is that the professor’s articles on honor killings and honor related violence are grossly misleading. By presenting a false picture of honor related violence and honor killings professor Marcello Ferrada de Noli completely ignores all the young women who are victims of honor violence in Sweden and by doing so he actively supports the perpetrators of honor-related violence. Professor Marcello Ferrada de Noli states that his blog is about “Human Rights for All” His writings says something completely different.

Just because the professor is misleading his readers does not mean I have the right to insult him. It was mean and damn stupid of me. And something that I am very sorry for.

Göran Rudling, April 27 2012

 

In three posts on his blog Professor Marcello Ferrada the Noli gives voice to remarkable opinions on honor violence. Among other things, the professor states that the Swedish state-feminists along with Swedish media are exaggerating the prevalence of honor-related violence in Sweden in order to demonize “Muslims” to make it possible to send Swedish military forces to Afghanistan. Another one of the professor’s numerous conspiracy theories. But for the professor, the statement is important. He fully believes that Swedish state-feminists are conspiring with the Swedish political establishment to get Assange extradited to Sweden so that he can be extradited to the United States. And the reason for it is that Julian Assange has published secrets about the war in Afghanistan. A publication that has made the political establishment Julian Assange haters.

I can’t believe the professor is for real. His conspiracy theories are so many and so silly. But honor-related violence in Sweden is a serious issue. Not least for the approximately 70 000 young people between 16 and 25 (about 5% of all youths between 16-25) that know that their family wants to decide who they are going to marry. Out of these, 8 500 are worried that they will not be free to make a decision of who to marry. On top of that we have all the young immigrant girls who don’t look forward to the summer break because they fear that they will be forced to marry some relative when they go on vacation to the parents home country.

In this article I will demonstrate that professor Marcello Ferrada de Nolis studies of honor violence is nothing but unsupported arguments that he has created in order for them to fit into the preconceived conspiracy theories. Portions of this text was written as a comment on the professor’s articles. Comments that were not approved. Continue reading →

The Assange case: Thin men in la-la land, part 1

Because something is happening here,
But you don’t know what it is,
Do you, Mister Jones?

The first time Bob Dylan performed with an electric band was at the Newport Folk Festival on 25 July 1965. “Ballad of a Thin Man” was written  shortly afterwards. The song was recorded on 2 August and the album “Highway 61 Revisited” was released on 25 August 1965.

It is said that the song is about a journalist, Jeffrey Owen Jones, who interviewed Dylan in connection with his first electric concert. Mr. Jones, who was an intern at Times Magazine, wrote after the interview an article about the harmonicas increasing popularity in American folk music. Mr. Jones missed the whole controversy about Dylan going electric.

In 1990 Dylan was asked if it could be a single journalist who gave him inspiration for the song, he replied: “There were a lot of Mister Joneses at that time. Obviously there must have been a tremendous amount of them for me to write that particular song . It was like, ‘Oh man, here’s the thousandth Mister Jones.”

I’ve always loved the song. Over the years it has given me an enormous amount of energy  when I encountered “Mister Jones” in reality. In the Assange case, there are lots of “Mister Joneses”. Who talks and writes a lot. Who understand that something is happening but just don’t know what it is. The aim of this article is to point out some of the thin men. But because there are so many, there will be several parts.

For a start, let’s have a look at the thinnest ones. The ones with “male panic syndrome”. One version of anti-feminism that has become much more common and loud since 11 September 2001. Rick “©®™” Downes, Israel Shamir, Marcello Ferrada the Noli and the Flashback Community. To make it easier for you to understand how thin they are, I will use their own words.

The Assange case: Rick Downes at Rixstep cooks information

Posted on by

The Assange case starts when Julian does not answer his phone when a female he had sex with calls him. The female, Sofia Wilén, then calls Anna Ardin, another recent sex partner of Julian’s, which eventually leads to a police report. And the whole story gets started. When Julian’s lawyer tries to get hold of him, he continues not to answer his phone, which over time leads to a European Arrest Warrant, EAW, and finally the case ends up in England’s Supreme Court.

Of course, none of the people involved will ever admit that the case may be all about over-use of Caller ID. They’d rather talk about corrupt authorities, political interference, conspiracies, onward extradition to the U.S., CIA, Pentagon, State Feminism, lay jurors, Jewish media conspiracies, dark forces, openness and transparency versus secrecy, evil prosecutors, honey-traps, Karl Rove, Mutual Legal Assistance, proportionality, secret talks between Swedish and US authorities, etc.

Much of what has been written in the Assange case is based on fallacies, misconceptions and fictional information. In this article I will show that a source that Julian Assange, WikiLeaks, Justice for Assange and WikiLeaks Central regard as credible, Rixstep, invents facts and writes bizarre articles based on these made ​​up facts.

The Assange case: Information Jesus on the cross or just fingers crossed

For those of you who are familiar with the Julian Assange case, portions of this long post is repetition. I’ve felt that is crucial that a complete time-line of events is posted so that you can get an idea of ​​what has really happened. Much of what has been written about the Assange case is fictional information. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish between fictional and real information. In future posts I will take a closer look at some of the people that are inventing and misrepresenting facts. But first lets look at the issue, Julian’s availability for interrogation.

A “truth” among those who support Julian Assange is that he has been available to the police for questioning. And he has not “fled Sweden” to escape questioning. In the extradition hearing on 7-8 February 2010 Julian’s English lawyers attempted to convince the court that Julian had been available for questioning for five weeks and that the police and the prosecutors had not showed interest in interviewing him. Something that Sweden’s representative, Clare Montgomery, showed was totally incorrect. The purpose of this article is to give you all the facts so you can make  up your own mind whether Julian Assange was available for questioning or if he tried to escape. Continue reading →

The Assange case: The condom speaks out or talk-about-condoms

A common  adage is “A picture is worth a thousand words”. I don’t know if that is generally true. If you look at the picture below. What does is say? Is it talking to us? Or does it need a thousand words in order for it to speak out?

Is this the condom used by Anna Ardin and Julian Assange?

I have written extensively about the Julian Assange case, mostly in Swedish. The reason for this is that it is a very important case. Though not in the way most people think. What is important is that this case proves that the Swedish police and Swedish prosecutors are unable to distinguish between a real and a false accusation. And if the police cannot do that it is obvious that the real criminals may walk free and innocent people can end up in jail. And that the victims for sex crimes will not get justice.  The Assange case reveals a systematic failing in how sex crimes are investigated. And what is extremely frightening, the investigation in the Assange case is made by Sweden’s top prosecutor for sex crimes, superior prosecutor Marianne Ny. The Assange case poses one serious question; how are sex crime investigations conducted by less qualified prosecutors in Sweden? Continue reading →

Weird accusation or proof of lies? More about the Assange case

Victim or story teller?

In the Detention Memorandum (Häktningspromemorian) there is an attachment, “Bilaga – Skäligen misstänkt”, that lists all the sex crimes that Julian Assange is suspected of. It is a long list. It is one rape, one sexual coercion and five sexual molestations. Sofia Wilén is the the alleged victim of rape. According to the police investigation Anna Ardin is supposed to be the victim of six sex crimes.

In this article, that will be short, I will look closer at the alleged sexual molestation, the one that is supposed to have occured on Wednesday August 18. But before that, just a comment. The interview with Anna Ardin was on August 21. The interview was conducted over the phone and lasted for 49 minutes. During this time the police took Anna’s story and they also read back to her the contents of the interview. The interview is what is called “konceptförhör”. It is just a summary of what the interviewing officer thinks is important and is the officer’s interpretation of what is said. When I read the interview I have a very hard time finding five descriptions of sexual molestations. One must be the alleged destruction of a condom. And the other one Julian’s rubbing of his naked body against Anna. But I can’t find the other three. If anyone that reads this can help me to find three more sexual molestations I will be thankful.

Sex, lies, no videotape and more lies. False accusations in the Assange case

“If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands.”

A “ducktest” is a method to try to figure out the true nature of an entity by studying its identifiable character traits. A simple method to reveal that a subject is not what it purports to be.

Allegations of sexual abuse that bear all the signs of being fake and lacking credibility is almost certainly false.

In the Assange case it is obvious that a “ducktest” has not yet been made by police and prosecutors. It is easy to see. For had it been done it could be seen that one of the plaintiff’s, charges, Anna Ardin’s, against Julian Assange are almost certainly false.

The Assange case was handled strangely from the beginning. The lack of quality in the investigation is evident. What is perhaps most disturbing is that since September 1, 2010 the matter was handled by a “highly qualified investigative unit” under the direction of the superior prosecutor Marianne Ny. If this is the best that Sweden has to offer with regard to investigations of sexual abuse, we have a huge problem with getting justice for victims of sexual abuse. If police and prosecutors cannot distinguish between true and false reports, it becomes very difficult to prosecute the real perpetrators.

An aide to false allegations?

Claes Borgström

The Assange case brings another important issue into focus. What is the complainant’s counsel (“målsägarbiträde”, non prosecution lawyer representing and supporting complainants) task during the process? If a complainant’s counsel reasonably assumes that the plaintiff’s allegations of sexual abuse are false, what is that counsel supposed to do? It cannot be that a complainant’s counsel’s mission is to support a plaintiff’s false accusations and to help ensure that an innocent person is tried and possibly convicted. If the complainant’s counsel helps a plaintiff to make false accusations what is the responsibility of that counsel? Abetting false accusation is what it is. And it should of course be punished. But what does the law say? Is it a crime? And what does the Bar’s disciplinary body say? Claes Borgström’s conduct in the Assange case must be thoroughly examined. Continue reading →

What happened on August 20 at a Swedish police station

At about 14.00 in the warm afternoon of August 20 two women walked into a police station in central Stockholm wanting “to talk and get some advice regarding two prior incidents and would like to get recommendations on how to proceed since they were insecure. From the start the crime rape was mentioned and it was stated that both women were victims.” From the memorandum of the police inspector in charge.

After talking to the women separately, making some phone calls to family-violence unit and the station commander, the female police inspector issued a police report at 16.11. The prosecutor on call was informed about the contents of the report and an order for arrest was issued at 17.00. The person wanted was Julian Assange, of Wikileaks’ fame. And he was wanted for the crime of rape and “ofredande”, abuse. So far, none of accusers had been interviewed by the police.

At this time nobody would ever think that the conversations in this small police station in central Stockholm within 24 hours would result in a world-wide media frenzy.

At this time very few people knew about the story. It was only the accusers, the police and the prosecutors. Someone leaked details of the police report and the order of arrest to Niklas Svensson, a journalist at the tabloid magazine Expressen. Expressen managed to get the story confirmed by the prosecutor on call and they published the news late in the evening, 23.18. And soon the story appeared inte media all around the world.

Why there is an English version of this blog

This blog was started in May 2010 with the specific aim to work for a change of the present sex crime laws in Sweden. The reason why the laws have to be changed is because they are discriminating against women. For many years I have listened to politicians talking about sexual violence as one of our society’s biggest problems. Everybody wants to put an end to it, but nobody seems to know what to do. To me, it is not that difficult. It starts with finding out what the situation really is without any pre-conceived political ideas.

Why an English version of this blog
In the middle of August Julian Assange, of Wikileaks fame, came to Sweden to apply for a residence- and workpermit. He slept with a few Swedish women and on August the 20th he was arrested in absentia for rape and abuse. This incident caught the attention of world media and the story has become one of the greatest stories in 2010. And as it looks, it will be of interest in the media for a long time in the coming year.

To me the story is simple. Two women accuse Julian Assange of sexual misconduct. And the police is gets on with an investigation. It is a private matter. For Julian Assange it is not that simple. He sees the accusations as part of a great “smear-campaign” of him and Wikileaks . Because his reaction the story quickly develops into something a lot bigger than what it really is.
