In before Julian Assange...

I'm guessing Bridget's post claims to be in before Julian is assassinated. If so...I agree. It's one thing to screw with the US. Right now I think the response the US will offer up to such things is a joke. It's quite another to threaten Russia. I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that Russia will turn him into fertilizer.

Wait... maybe you read a different article than I did.... but where did he threaten Russia?

The Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee has called for whoever leaked the 250,000 US diplomatic cables to be executed.

Huckabee, who ran unsuccessfully for the Republican nomination at the last election but is one of the favourites for 2012, joined a growing number of people demanding the severest punishment possible for those behind the leak, which has prompted a global diplomatic crisis.

His fellow potential Republican nominee Sarah Palin had already called for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to be "hunted down", and an adviser to the Canadian prime minister has echoed her comments.

Huckabee said: "Whoever in our government leaked that information is guilty of treason, and I think anything less than execution is too kind a penalty."

EVERYONE IS FUCKING INSANE.

Google for "Julian Assange Russia" and the Time.com article from Nov 1 will be in the top 3 links. There's plenty of hits out there to get you up to date on this...

I didn't see anything in that article, but by coincidence, there was just something about it on the news, literally a minute ago. Guy must have a death wish.

In the time between when I posted the keywords and you checked...it moved in ranking. Go figure...it's a hot topic. Here's the link

In an interview published on Tuesday, Oct. 26, in Russia's leading daily newspaper, Kommersant, WikiLeaks spokesman Kristinn Hrafnsson said that "Russian readers will learn a lot about their country" after one of the site's upcoming document dumps. "We want to tell people the truth about the actions of their governments."

So far Russia has had no official response. But on Wednesday, an official at the Center for Information Security of the FSB, Russia's secret police, gave a warning to WikiLeaks that showed none of the tact of the U.S. reply to the Iraq revelations. "It's essential to remember that given the will and the relevant orders, [WikiLeaks] can be made inaccessible forever," the anonymous official told the independent Russian news website LifeNews.

When reached by TIME, the FSB, which is the main successor to the Soviet KGB, declined to elaborate on the comment or say whether it was the agency's official position. But history has shown that the FSB readily steps in to shut down Internet tattlers.

Deathwish? That was my thought as well.

Hillary Clinton- "Hello, is this the President(or whatever) of Sweden?"
Swedish President- "Yes, it is. What may I do for you, Mrs. Clinton?"
Hillary- "The United States needs a favor, can you help us out?"
Swedish Pres- "Of course, Mrs. Clinton. Anything for one of our largest clients! What can we do for you?"
Hillary- "You know that guy who is leaking all of those sensative documents about the US on that website?"
Swede- "Oh, yes. I'm sure your government doesn't REALLY feel that way about me."
Hillary- "Of course not. Much of that was made up. But here's our problem: People are believing his lies. Could you possibly come up with some evidence of illegal activity of his, and help us get him wanted by the international community?"
Swede- "I'm sure we could find something. If not, we could always make something up. I mean, if he's willing to commit that act, what criminal activity would he NOT be a party to?"
Hillary- "Could you make it something sexual? Everyone hates a sexual deviant!"
Swede- "Absolutely! Any preference? Rape? Homosexuality? Incest? Kiddy Porn?"
Hillary- "Nothing gay, that'll backfire. Multiple Rape would be good. If need be, find some kiddy porn a week or two later if we don't get the desired result."
Swede- "What is the desired result?"
Hillary- "To discredit him, get him thrown in prison, and possibly killed by some random stranger. But this has to be hush-hush."
Swede- "Of course. We Swedish people are very discrete."
Hillary- "Thank you much. Usual payment?"
Swede- "Yes, ma'am. You have the account number."
Hillary- "You'll have it before the sun sets. Thank you again!"
Swede- "A pleasure."

Bringing this back up, for a couple of reasons:

1> Mr. Assange will be on the CBS show 60 Minutes this sunday. (in case anyone is interested)
2> According to Wikileaks, the FBI has started tracking down "Anti-Censorship Supporters".... turns out they're looking for hackers
3> Wikileaks seems to have some inside information on the Egyptian bruhaha... which I'm guessing means they still have people in sensative places feeding them info.
