You mean like one that could cajole(hah, more like strong arm, blackmail and slap around), the Swiss to abandon their long history of banking anonymity?

Ha! I have no proof...but tell me what organizations around the world have influence to get the Swiss, Sweden, Amazon, Mastercard, Paypal and Interpol to act against the same person in coordination? regards, -Lance On Dec 9, 2010, at 5:41 PM, Karl wrote: Still waiting for you to display some proof the US is behind this… From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lance McLain Sent: Thursday, December 09, 2010 3:36 PM To: DADL (off topic) Subject: Re: [DADL-OT] Clay Shirky's nuanced position on Wikileaks The Swiss authorities confiscate a $37k bank account because he used the wrong address when opening the account?

This is definitely a coordinated attempt to shut someone down over political issues. I would imagine that all independent reporters around the world are rethinking their stories right about now. Meanwhile on the same day the US announces it is hosting the World Press Freedom Day next year! this is surreal regards, -Lance On Dec 9, 2010, at 5:18 PM, Lance McLain wrote: I guess it doesn't matter that one of the women's job was as a "campus sexual equity officer" and had a blog post up for months on how to legally entrap a man to get revenge for these types of matters. Nor does her actions (twitter posts and getting and serving Assange breakfast afterwards, etc..) after the evenings in question that seem to not sound like they were coming from an assualted woman. But I guess all of that will get sorted out in the courts now (right). Sounds like a he said/she said to me and judging from her background, I think she seems to know exactly what she is doing. Denied bail on the grounds he would fail to surrender? He turned himself in voluntarily. That doesn't make sense. This guy could be scum of the earth, but this has all the appearances of a man being railroaded for political reasons. regards, -Lance On Dec 9, 2010, at 4:47 PM, [email protected] wrote: >they were?

The 39-year-old Australian is wanted by prosecutors in Sweden over claims he sexually assaulted two women. District Judge Howard Riddle refused bail on the grounds there was a risk he would fail to surrender. Assange was ordered to appear again before City of Westminster Magistrates' Court on December 14. Jemima Khan, the sister of Tory MP Zac Goldsmith, film director Ken Loach and veteran journalist John Pilger all offered to stand as surety for Assange. Gemma Lindfield, for the Swedish authorities, told the court Assange was wanted in connection with four allegations. She said the first complainant, Miss A, said she was victim of "unlawful coercion" on the night of August 14 in Stockholm. The court heard Assange is accused of using his body weight to hold her down in a sexual manner. The second charge alleged Assange "sexually molested" Miss A by having sex with her without a condom when it was her "express wish" one should be used. The third charge claimed Assange "deliberately molested" Miss A on August 18 "in a way designed to violate her sexual integrity". The fourth charge accused Assange of having sex with a second woman, Miss W, on August 17 without a condom *while she was asleep* at her Stockholm home. Assange, who appeared pale but calm in the dock, confirmed his name and date of birth at the request of the court clerk. Downing Street said that Mr Assange's arrest was "a matter for the police". Asked what ministerial involvement there had been in the extradition request, a spokeswoman replied: "None."
