founder Julian Assange, whose whistle-blowing website caused uproar last month with a leak of secret U.S. military files on Afghanistan, has been charged in Sweden with rape and molestation, the National Prosecutor's Office said on Saturday.
Assange was quoted by a Swedish daily as denying the allegations.
Assange, an Australian, was in Sweden last week to discuss his work and defend his intent to publish further documents on the war in Afghanistan. He has close ties with the Nordic country, where WikiLeaks has said it keeps some of its servers.
"We can confirm that he's wanted. He was charged last night -- the allegation is suspected rape," said Karin Rosander, Director of Communications at the National Prosecutor's office.
"One is rape and one is molestation," she said, without giving details.
I'M NOT SURPRISED: THIS LEFT-WING SC*MB*G OBVIOUSLY HAS NO RESPECT FOR LAW OR THE RULE OF LAW.
ROUND UP HERE AT MEMEORANDUM.
UPDATE:
- HE MAY GET OFF LIKE POLANSKI: I GUESS IF YOU ARE A POSTMODERN LEFTIST YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING - TREASON, RAPE, MOLESTATION - EVEN PROSTITUTION.
- ASSANGE JOINS, THE NYTIMES, AL SHARPTON, ELLIOT SPITZER, GERRY STUDDS, ALCEE HASTINGS, ED MEZVINSKY, BOB TORRICELLI, JAMES MCGREEVEY, BARNET FRANK, AND BILL CLINTON - AND SO ON.

ASSHOLES.
HERE:
FROM WIKI:
According to The New Yorker, Assange was born in Townsville, Queensland, in 1971.[3] In the past, Assange did not publish his exact age,[4] only stating that he was born in the 1970s.[5]
ReplyDeleteAssange has said that his parents ran a touring theatre company, and that he was enrolled in 37 schools and six universities in Australia over the course of his early life.[5] From age eleven to sixteen, he lived on the run with his mother and half-brother, avoiding his half-brother's father who was believed to belong to a cult led by Anne Hamilton-Byrne.[3]
An article in The New Yorker has stated that Assange was married to his girlfriend in an unofficial ceremony at the age of 18 and had a son.[3] The article says she left him while he was being investigated by the Australian Federal Police for hacking, and took their son.[3]
Assange helped to write the 1997 book Underground: Tales of Hacking, Madness and Obsession on the Electronic Frontier which credits him as researcher.[6] It draws from his teenage experiences as a member of a hacker group named "International Subversives", which involved a 1991 raid of his Melbourne home by the Australian Federal Police.[7][8] Wired, The Sydney Morning Herald, and The Sunday Times have pointed out that there exist similarities between Assange and the person called "Mendax" in the book.[9][10][11] The New Yorker has identified Assange as Mendax and explains its origin from a phrase of Horace: "splendide mendax", or "nobly untruthful".[3] Assange was reported to have accessed various computers (belonging to an Australian university, Canadian telecommunications company Nortel,[3] and other organizations) via modem[12] to test their security flaws; he later pleaded guilty to 24 charges of hacking and was released on bond for good conduct after being fined AU$2100.[7][8][10]

WSJ: Business Success Helps Society More Than Philanthropy
ReplyDeleteWall Street Journal op-ed, Gates and Buffett Take the Pledge, by Kimberly O. Dennis (President, Searle Freedom Trust):
Wealthy businessmen often feel obligated to "give back." Who says they've taken anything?
Bill Gates and Warren Buffett announced this month that 40 of America's richest people have agreed to sign a "Giving Pledge" to donate at least half of their wealth to charity. With a collective net worth said to total $230 billion, that promise translates to at least $115 billion.
It's an impressive number. Yet some—including Messrs. Gates and Buffett—say it isn't enough. Perhaps it's actually too much: the wealthy may help humanity more as businessmen and women than as philanthropists.
What are the chances, after all, that the two forces behind the Giving Pledge will contribute anywhere near as much to the betterment of society through their charity as they have through their business pursuits? In building Microsoft, Bill Gates changed the way the world creates and shares knowledge. Warren Buffett's investments have birthed and grown innumerable profitable enterprises, making capital markets work more efficiently and enriching many in the process. ...
Successful entrepreneurs-turned-philanthropists typically say they feel a responsibility to "give back" to society. But "giving back" implies they have taken something. What, exactly, have they taken? Yes, they have amassed great sums of wealth. But that wealth is the reward they have earned for investing their time and talent in creating products and services that others value. They haven't taken from society, but rather enriched us in ways that were previously unimaginable. ...
While businesses may do more for the public good than they're given credit for, philanthropies may do less. Think about it for a moment: Can you point to a single charitable accomplishment that has been as transformative as, say, the cell phone or the birth-control pill? To the contrary, the literature on philanthropy is riddled with examples of failure, including examples where philanthropic efforts have actually left intended beneficiaries worse off. ...
I do not mean to belittle philanthropy. I represent a foundation and believe it can accomplish a great deal of good if it achieves its donor's objective, which is to free individuals to pursue their ambitions without the burden of intrusive government. My point is simply that there is nothing inherently better or nobler about using one's resources for charitable purposes than for any number of other ones. If anything, the marketplace does a better job of channeling resources toward where they are most valued, and of punishing failure. Companies shut down all the time. How many philanthropies close because of poor performance? ...
Let's hope the philanthropy of those who do sign the Giving Pledge achieves great things. But let's not fool ourselves into thinking that businessmen are likely to achieve more by giving their money away than they have by making it in the first place.
