The legal net is tightening around Assange. On Thursday, Sweden's highest court turned down an appeal from his legal team, which means an international warrant for his arrest in a sexual assault case is valid, CBS Newsreports. Supporters of WikiLeaks around the world are downloading a file the site calls an insurance policy. The files are encrypted with a code so strong it's unbreakable, even by governments. If anything happens to Assange or the website, a key will go out to unlock the files.
I downloaded it and I hope it has dynamite information in it! I also hope I don't have to use it. It downloads very quickly as so many others are, as well, and torrents work best when many are downloading and seeding. At any given moment it seems that about 1000 are downloading the 'insurance' torrent. At LEAST 250,000 persons have downloaded the file. That should put some fear into the hearts of the USA...but as to their not knowing how to crack the code, that I doubt. The NSA can surely crack it...so they will be able to evaluate the net gamble they take. I'm sure a few other nations can decode it too....U.K, France, Germany, Israel, Russia, China at the very least...perhaps several others. A very interesting game being played on the Grand Chess Board.
I know many here are saying or positing that Assange is really acting as a knowing agent for the very people he seems to be hurting, but I think not - and I now believe his life and that of the others running Wikileaks is in real danger. It seems he will eventually be taken to Sweden and likely the charges dismissed, but I fear the USA will ask to extradite him; and from there he will go to one of our black sites.....and our famous Empire-class 'injustice' system. If he ever came to trial in the USA [which I doubt - as the evidence on his side and discovery would be too embarrassing - not to mention the insurance materials - many of which I'm sure are not being put out on the internet....[i.e. they'd eliminate him or Guantanamo him and throw away the key.]
Sad that Australia doesn't seem to care about him. Sad he is in the UK...they may do a Gareth Williams on him. I do remember some nation offering him asylum, but there is no way for him to leave the UK now. I'm sure MI5 has him under 24/7 surveillance now, and the home or flat bugged.
