    Excellent article from the WSWS and a damning indictment of the case against Assange. No wonder the w.hores of the msm have memory holed it. Actually that's probably not accurate; to memory hole something they have to have covered it at some point. This has just been ignored.

    I found a cnbc article on it which apparently thinks the main takeaway from this was that...let me just check this...ah yes, the russians did it.

    Judge John Koetl, in his ruling Tuesday, said that although the “primary wrongdoer in this alleged criminal enterprise is undoubtedly the Russian Federation,” a lawsuit against that government is barred by the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act.


    It's not directly related but then again might be, behind the scenes. What the hell is Trumpty Dumpty's fascination with this rapper who's on trial in Sweden at the moment? Is it just because Beyonce and god knows who else are tweeting about it and he thinks it might be some good publicity in the election campaign? It's odd how they scream and shout about adherence to rule of law when it's Assange and some trumped up (cough) rape charges being used as a cover to get him renditioned but when there's good publicity to be had he's trying to strongarm the Swedish government into dropping the charges.

    Something about all the publicity given to this incredibly insignificant case strikes me as odd.
