1. Still no charges from Sweden?? If they have a case, file it.
It's over 9 months now and they still are not confident enough in their 'case' to go ahead and charge him. This should scare people, he is right. That based only on accusations, a person can lose their freedom to this extend, not even actual charges where the case is laid out in some form.

And the excuse that they need to interview him couldn't be more false. They have an Embassy in Britain, he has offered over and over again to speak to them.

Looks more and more like they do not want to speak to him, they just want to keep this going for as long as possible since they have no case but get traction from using the legal system.

He just won two prizes over the past month. Both presigious awards for his work.

These are truly dark times which will be looked back on in horror by future generations.

5. "What does the United States have to do with the Swedish extradition process?"...
Yep! No doubt in my mind that that is driving all this. Why not, since the US leaned on the Spanish legal system to drop the case against the BFEE.

Disgusting!

6. Yes, one thing the Wikileaks cables made clear, the US
is involved in every country in the world, influencing elections, and to such an extent it is truly disturbing. I hope those revelations will make people in other countries aware that this may be why they got leaders they don't really like, like Harper, Sarkozy and Blair, the current Australian PM. I used to wonder how come the whole world seems to have turned right, but now I don't think it did, I think not just our elections are being manipulated.

And that is why they are so angry at Julian Assange. Because thanks to him, we so know so much more about what they are up to and that could lead to the people taking back their power.

7. A Blog I found, totally frivolous and hilarious:
Julian Assange is Gorgeous:

the problem is that he is a whole lot smarter than the governmental bastards that are going after him.
