British judge has denied ball for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who told a London court he intends to fight his extradition to Sweden on sex crime allegations. Judge Howard Riddle told Assange that he had “substantial grounds” to believe the 39-year-old Australian wouldn’t turn up for subsequent proceedings. He then put Assange into UK custody ahead of an extradition hearing. Mark Stephens, Assange’s British lawyer, has given a brief press conference after the hearing. Meanwhile, Visa has suspended all payments to WikiLeaks. The payment processor’s move leaves the website without its main source of revenue, as the whistleblower largely depends on online donations. Popular online payment company PayPal has already stopped its operations with WikiLeaks. Swiss authorities announced Monday that they closed the new Swiss bank account of the website’s founder Julian Assange, who was arrested Tuesday in London on charges of sexual assault.
The attack on Assange is an attack on core democratic rights. The latest WikiLeaks cables are helping to expose the daily intrigues of US imperialism and its allies…Julian Assange must be vigorously defended. The World Socialist Web Site calls on all working people—and all those seeking to oppose imperialism and the attack on democratic rights—to mobilize their collective strength to demand an immediate end to the persecution of Assange and WikiLeaks.

That´s bullshit. It´s a rumour started by Swedish communists who hate anybody who is against Castros paradise on earth. The woman was infact involved in a local human rigths group run by women whos husbands are in prisoned for propagating democracy, free labor unions and a free elections in Cuba. the swedish stalinists branded her CIA operative and Assange and his followers went for it.
Everyone’s favourite probable rapist. hmmmm
@WhiskyNorth No you are the one talking bullshit, with your FAKE ACCOUNT only started yesterday. Assange is 100% innocent, the problem is that parts of the swedish government like to suck the dick of Uncle Sam. That dirty little whore used to suck and fuck members of an anti-Castro CIA group. Oh her daddy must be really proud…
SUPPORT WIKILEAKS, EXPOSE GOVERNMENT CORRUPTION
The female who made allegations against Julian Assange has been exposed as a CIA linked operative – she was an intern for the Swedish Embassy in Havana Cuba and was expelled by the Cuban Government for CIA linked anti Cuban government activities – this is what we suspected all along – an accuser with an agenda – CIA backed who set up a honey trap.
i hope i can say the same about swedish prosecuters at some point in the future. who would have thought the land of palme and lind would come to this??? or see what happens when you allow political assassinations to succeed. du gamla, du fria, vart har det blivit av dig????

@welshrarebeats
You have no proof of what you say exept the claims meda by swedish comminists. I guess you are pro-Castro stalinist your self. You should remember that wikileaks will continue even without Assange.
One cruise missile through the french windows of that English mansion and Julian Assange is smoke. The Brits wouldn’t squeek because they’re too scared about their ‘special relationship’ with us. But we won’t do it, why… because our military are full of gays.
Opening governments
@AmerikanPatriot
wow, your comment sounds really immature. grow up.
GOD IS TRUTH…SATAN IS LIES…NEW WORLD ORDER…TO ALL DEVILS….YOUR ANTI-CHRIST WILL ONLY BE ALLOWED 3 THREE AND A HALF YEARS TO DO HIS EVIL….TREMBLE….JESUS COMES….JESUS THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD COMES WITH FULL VENGEANCE……REPENT OR BE THRUST INTO EVERLASTING BURNING HELL……
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: WIKILEAKS IS A FRAUD
If Assange was a threat to U.S. security, the CIA would have taken him out a long time ago.
If Wikileaks info was relevant, it would be NOT be published by the main stream media such as ‘New York Times’ & Spiegel.
If Wikileaks was truthfull, it would NOT say that Bin Laden is a alive NOR that Iraqi deathtoll is ‘only’ 66000.
Vote this comment up if you believe Assange is a fraud and ordinary Americans are ignorant, overweight, racist arseholes.
Speaking as one who lives in the UK, yes I’d aree, the British Government is far too obsequious in its dealngs with the US. Why anyone should want a ‘special relationship’ with a country populated with gungho wankers like AmerikanPatriot who seem to think’ ‘ Amerika’ has the sovereign right to be masters of the universe is beyond me.
Assange is a hero. His sexual escapades are his business and anyone who has a fling with a woman is in danger of being called a rapist nowadays. It is no longer a secret that the U.S. government is a gang of artificially educated idiots, who make vital decisions for the rest of us while they enjoy the fruits of their overpaid, so called labor. These armchair “warriors” are intoxicated with physical luxury and therefore incapable of empathizing with the common citizen.
How can a politician ever understand the frustration of working your fingers and ass off, just to stay off the street (never mind eating a decent meal) while they prance around in plush purple pampers on red carpets, pretending to be important because of money and status and attention? The proof you need that the government is most certainly behind most “terrorist” attacks is that these attacks are generally directed toward innocent citizens rather than the more deserving targets.
It is not possible to win against the beast. It is, however, quite possible to give the beast all sorts of ailments, thereby hindering its otherwise charmed life. This is the mission. The dedication. Do not seek to be a thorn in its side. Fire a missile in its mouth.
Oh, the underestimated hatred for those who live in careless ease at the expense of those who actually deserve it. Go ahead. Jail the one. Kill the other. Thousands will pop up at their martyrdom. The paradox is that in some strange way evil gives birth to justice. Why? Because the blood of the innocent demands retribution. No man need move a hand against them. They have braided their own rope with which to hang themselves. And they are “brilliant” enough to overlook that fact.
Frail minded people! Numbered paper and plastic, cameras, silk suits and fancy vehicles have blinded you to who the real elitists are. They are the solitary ones, who absorb all information, separating the wheat from the chaff. The truth from the rubbish. They are the ones who patiently wait for that hour when that bestial bitch whore who sayeth in her heart “Here I sit a queen. I shall never know widowhood or death” gets her just desserts.

@tardwhisperer You may find this interesting, especially on Wikileaks. Thank you. I also agree on your comments that the government is behind the “terror attacks”. I just discovered info on Julian Assange and now my opinion on him has changed.

@thefalloa–Material existence can be likened unto the antichrist because it claims to be the only reality.
Search for youtube video “Julian Assange kicks kittens” to see factual explanation of who and what is behind the allegations against Assange and how it all ties in with the “War on Terror”.
@ManMeatMusket yeah, just like in Fight Club
