Tark, why don't you lay out your conspiracy theory for us

This stuff almost certainly adversely impacts the interests of Canada, you do realize this, right?

 

the conspiracy against Assange and wikileaks. Interpol issued a "red notice" just days after Wikileaks released the cables? This is the second attempt to pursue sex crimes accusations... the first being dismissed by a senior prosecutor. For allegations of sexual misconduct? Or as some media is saying forcing the girls to have unprotected sex with him. So girl calls guy over. Pays for his train ticket, has sex that night with a condom. the next morning they have sex again... this time bareback. guy is accused of a sex crime with a international warrant for his arrest with no bail and extradition to a country that has very murky sexual crime laws?

All major companies dropping wikileaks as a client at the same time, with no real justification apart from saying the generic "Terms and Conditions". Amazon doesn't ban "Ku Klux Klan Sheet Music" but drop WikiLeaks? Mastercard, Visa, paypal all dropped it as a client at the same time? Paypal was used by the taliban for fund raising for fucks sakes!

How the DDoS attacks on these companies are being seriously looked into however when Wikileaks was a couple of days before releasing the info nothing was done?

 

They are hitting Paypal the hardest today. Paypal is having performance issues and it is a matter of time before it crashes and lost $millions an hour.
I give props to Paypal for surviving this long. Paypal and Amazon are huge.

 

Been on PP all morning, and I see no slowness of any sort. They will not be taken down from these "attacks".

 

they arrested some kid in connection with the attacks. I bet they lost a lot of computers that were attacking because of it.

 

good. couldn't have happened to a nicer kid. god forbid a business chooses who they wnt to do business with. they are making it scary if a company refuses to do wikileaks. lame.

 

Why do I constantly click on defused's goddamn signature box thing?

So you are dubious about the charges against Mr Assange, and the subsequent adverse action by the financial institutions. Did they drop him for the sex stuff, the leak thing or does it matter?

Who has done this? Is it the US? Maybe a "coalition of the willing," so to speak. The Yanks, the Brits and the Swedes; probably the Israelis too, for my money.

Avez-vous la preuve?

Now don't take this as me yelling "conspiracy theory!" and putting on a tinfoil hat, but this is just is me looking at the situation.

The charges against him are rather bogus, he had consensual sex with two separate women. Both pursued him and made the advances. The second one had sex with him twice, the second time without a condom. The first accuser says one time they were having sex, the condom broke. They both just want an STD test. Lead prosecutor wanted to throw the case out, but was not allowed. Ironically enough - the US has a nice extradition treaty with Sweden, so when he is in custody there - he can be extradited to GITMO or another American based prison.

Based on all publicly available evidence (which is all any of us can base our opinions on) there was no rape... so if there was no rape - and the victims admit this - why is he facing rape charges and the potential of extradition?

It very well could be just their way of forcing him back to Sweden and ensuring he has an STD test - but it does seem to be ramping up to a whole lot more than that.

And for all those who say a company should be able to refuse to service to those who they choose - I don't disagree. But why refuse service to wikileaks, but allow service to terrorist organizations?

Once again - not crying "the Americans are all out to get us OMG!" cus that really could be as far away from the truth as possible - just pointing out some odd facts.
