Sofia Wilén - Assange's other accuser

Follow @JohnPlatinumG Over the last week or so the focus has moved away from Anna Ardin, who everybody thought was the main  accuser in the Assange sexual allegation case, towards Sofia Wilén the other accuser who went along with Anna to the police station. In a shrewd move by the mass media both women have alternatively been referred to as witness 'A' which is confusing. Shortly after it was announced that one of the women had sacked her lawyer and got a new one an article appeared in the Independent on Sunday by Kevin Rawlinson about the sufferings of one of the accusers. It was easy to identify this person as the much discredited Anna Ardin, who has removed tweets to cover up her tracks, especially the ones saying how much she had enjoyed the company of Julian Assange. She also removed her blogpost and her seven steps to revenge against men who dump their girlfriends. It was her blog to which the Rawlinson article referred.


Both these items were removed by Anna after she had made allegations that Julian Assange had raped her. Rape in Sweden can take several forms - and need not involve forced penetration (it would seem). Anna would not likely make a good witness because as well as her deleted tweets she has an attachment to CIA organisations. A lot less is known about Sofia Wilén although it is known she did a fine arts degree in Wales at the University of Newport specialising in camera work. She recently changed her lawyer to Elisabeth Massi Fritz. Lawyers of this ilk do not come cheap. Fritz is the family lawyer of the Swedish Prime Minister Reinfeldt. It is a legitimate question to ask where an art-graduate has suddenly got enough money to afford one of Sweden's top lawyers. 

Here is Sofia Wilén on the Saatchi list of artists. Now wasn't it the Saatchi and Saatchi group which promoted public relations for Margaret Thatcher? Anyone can join the Saatchi site to promote his or her art-work for free. Sofia Wilén's photography, unlike most of the other photography, is not for sale. Not yet anyway. I have to ask the question because it is niggling me. Is this the way they intend to reward Sofia Wilén so she can pay her legal bills by buying her photographs at some outrageous price? That's how big business appears to work. Delivering Julian Assange would be worth any amount of expenditure to some people. If I were her I would drop the case, apologise to Julian Assange for all the upset and hurt she and Anna have caused him, and try to get on with her life honestly.

An example of how the news is fabricated

Follow @JohnPlatinumG Anybody who gets their news from mainstream sources needs to waken up to the fact that they do not get the full story. It is presented well, that's true, and that is why it is so easy to be gulled. This blog has covered stories that the mainstream media will not touch, like the background of Anna Ardin, who took her revenge on Julian Assange by accusing him of rape. Mainstream media outlets are not allowed to mention her name for fear that the truth will get out and Assange will not be extradited to the United States.

My latest article concerns the new nuclear power station being built at Hinckley Point and two stories fabricated to justify its existence.

Time for a reality check

Follow @JohnPlatinumG Last August the Daily Mail ran a photograph with the faces of two of the five people in the photograph obscured. One of them was Anna Ardin (or Anna Bernardin) who the Mail refers to as 'Woman A'. She is one of the accusers in the case against Julian Assange. An interesting fact about this photograph is that it was taken two days after Anna Ardin was allegedly sexually assaulted at the hands of Julian Assange. Ardin would claim five days after the photograph was taken that Assange had sexually assaulted her a week earlier. Here is an unexpurgated but cropped photograph of four happy people. Ardin is on the left and Assange on the right. One of them is a victim.

The photograph reveals how young-looking Julian Assange appears in the days before Anna Ardin extracted her 'revenge'. Those who have been following the story will know that Anna had on her website a blog-post called "Seven Steps to Legal Revenge" which was mainly aimed at making those who cheat on their lovers suffer. The same day this photograph was taken Anna learnt that Julian Assange was having an affair with 'Woman B'. After going to the police station with woman B to complain Ardin took down her 'revenge' blogpost and also removed some tweets which showed just how much she was enjoying herself with the coolest people one of them being Assange. The enjoyment again was after the alleged 'rape' took place.

For the benefit of those new to the story here is a timeline of events published on Daddys' Swedish blog the same year Assange visited Sweden. You will notice that the photograph on this blog was one from the same series as the one presented above.

Anna Ardin has in the past worked at two Swedish embassies, one in Argentina and one in the United States. That is not to say that she is a CIA agent, but she was certainly in a position of privilege that would make her of recruitment interest to the secret services of either the United States or her native Sweden. Quite clearly Uncle Sam, some of whose deplorable war crimes have been revealed by Wikileaks, would rather take Julian Assange and Wikileaks out of circulation than change their "kill-first-ask-questions-later" persecution of Islam. This criminal activity is set to continue with increasing drone-strikes which are already known to have killed hundreds of children; many of these deaths often going unreported in the west. Reform is not a word in the vocabulary of the most persecuting state since NAZI Germany.

The photograph, courtesy of Justice4Assange, has been published on this blog because the mainstream media and its journalists are not allowed to do so. Neither are they allowed to mention the name of Ms Ardin (or her friend, the police interrogator in the case, Irmeli Krans) for fear people might jump to conclusions that Julian Assange is the victim and not her. Ardin and Krans have been protected, while all kinds of ludicrous accusations have been bandied about to the detriment of Assange. Here is a recent account of what happened on the Saturday Anna Ardin was interviewed. Readers can make up their own minds who they believe.

Stamping on the pricks

Follow @JohnPlatinumG

This is an old boot. It replaces the graphic photograph of a woman who sought to bring down a man who has shown how corrupt governments can be.

Originally the photograph was of Anna Ardin, one of Julian Assange's accusers, breaking in a pair of shoes which had phallic heels, and thus spoke volumes about her character. Of course, as with the incriminating texts, she deleted this picture shortly after she posted it. Whether the decision to remove it was on the instruction of her legal team or her own initiative is not known. I made the decision to remove the copy made available to me because after due consideration and advice do not want to leave behind a permanent reminder of one moment of indiscretion.

However, she should never have tried to bring down Julian Assange. It is because of her actions that his life has been ruined. Perhaps she will reflect one day on the damage she has done in the pursuit of a little personal publicity. As she is already a hate-figure of her own creation there is nothing can be done to bring her character down further. Nothing she can do, nothing this blog can do.

Thanks to those who made the original reproduction possible (you know who you are).

Good news and bad news

Follow @JohnPlatinumG Good news

On the day that Barack Obama was re-elected to the White House here is an item of good news. A very reasonably-priced book has just been released on-line covering the case of Julian Assange in Sweden. The author is Guy Sims and it covers what really happened in Sweden. Most details have been quite widely available in Swedish for months but because the Zionist-owned media in England and America will not allow the publication of certain names connected with the case, including Anna Ardin, Sofia Wilen and Irmeli Krans it is a blessing to have the real facts in English at last. I bought a copy and read the first 50 pages enthralled by the absurdity of the accusations, the attempt by Anna Ardin to pervert the course of justice by removing pertinent tweets to how much she enjoyed the company of Julian Assange, and also the deletion of her paper on how to get revenge on men who dump a woman.

The reader learns that first Anna Ardin said she never had sex with Julian Assange. Then she said she did have consensual sex with Julian Assange. Then, several days later, having arranged a crayfish party in his honour, at which party she tweeted how cool it was (one of the tweets she deleted) she accused Assange of having raped her the night before the crayfish party she arranged for him. If she did not make this up herself she was convinced to accuse Assange by her friend Irmeli Krans and other officers at the police station. Irmeli Krans, a friend of Ms Ardin's for some two years prior to the women reporting Assange at the same police station at which Irmeli Krans worked at a time when Krans was on duty. Krans in fact interviewed Sofia Wilen and later made attempts to embellish or spice up the original statement, which Wilen would not sign. I covered some of this in an earlier post. I cannot understand why members of the Swedish prosecution and police service are not on trial for attempting to pervert the course of justice. But there are many things in this bad, bad world I have difficulty understanding, Nevertheless it is good new that this book is available in English and I urge you all to read it.

Bad news

It is with sadness that I have to report the death last Friday of Brian Spencer. Brian was one of the long-time campaigners for justice over the death of Dr David Kelly, the weapons' inspector over whose demise so many questions remain. I never met Brian but I am sure he was a good man. We have been in touch by Facebook and email for the last two years. His legacy is the most comprehensive blog on the minutiae of what happened to Dr Kelly, where the conflicts are, and where the conflicts of interest are. It contains numerous statements and is well worth not just a perusal but a study.

This is one of Brian's last comments on a Dr David Kelly website made on 28 September.

'The more complicated a cover up becomes and the more people get involved then the more likely mistakes will become apparent. This has happened with the Dr Kelly cover up.

Mr McGinty from the Attorney General's Office penned Annexes TVP 1-6 which are on the AG's website. He effectively derided the written and oral evidence of searcher Louise Holmes who stated that she went back to her car whilst fellow searcher Paul Chapman took DC Coe and his two companions in the direction of the wood where the body lay. McGinty's version was that the searchers met the three officers at the foot of Harrowdown Hill and that DC Shields and the unidentified third officer stayed behind with Louise Holmes.

Dr Richard Shepherd was commissioned to report on the pathological evidence and in a section about the alleged movement of the body wrote: 'The police officers (DCs Coe and Shields) who initially attended the scene commented that the body was "laying on his back", they did not describe sitting or slumping against a tree.'

So McGinty has Shields down at the bottom of the track and thus half a mile from the body. At the same time Shepherd has Shields with Coe attending the body. They can't both be right!'

 He further commented on comments to this post on Tuesday. Just over a month later he died, a campaigner to the end. Although he did not live to see justice in the Kelly case he fought for it. Others will continue with the struggle inspired by Brian's example.

Film-maker extraordinaire

Follow @JohnPlatinumG Satire has been thrown to the wolves. They tore it to pieces and spat it out in cub-size chunks. Now nobody knows the difference between satire and reality. Today I finished the third of my short cartoons on how Julian Assange was framed. To me the three of them seem so real. There is a kind of sinister humour lurking in the truth of them.

The first is unreal in that the conversation probably took place by telephone rather than face to face. And if XtraNormal catered for a telephone conversation in the version I have that is probably the way I would have proceeded. Anna Ardin was the person who invited Julian Assange to stay at her flat when he went to Sweden. Several days after she claimed sexual  allegations took place, allegations which were illegally leaked to the Swedish press, she accused Julian Assange of rape. This was even though he stayed with her for days after the allegations. In fact the next day after she claimed these outrageous events took place she threw a crayfish party for Assange and friends. After going to the police station with Sofia, and before making a statement herself, she went home and deleted tweets about how she was enjoying the company. She also deleted a paper she wrote on how to get legal revenge on men who dump women. This seems to be based on advice she got at the police station, since she deleted them immediately after her first visit, then made her statement the next day. This is the content of the first cartoon.

The second cartoon covers Anna's friendship with the police interrogator Irmeli Krans and the problem Anna caused by bringing into the police station a torn condom she claimed Assange used when they had consensual sex. It was taken to the police laboratory but neither male nor female DNA could be found on it. That is the substance of the second cartoon.

The final episode (to date) is my idea of why Claes Borgstrom and Marianne Ny are pursuing a witch-hunt against Julian Assange, making a stab at the reason why they do not want to interview Assange in the UK. Marianne Ny has gone on record as saying that she would still pursue a prosecution even if she knew she was in the wrong. Claes Borgstrom is pursuing a case of rape against Assange even though he knows the Kashmir girl (Sofia) says she was not raped. He has virtually said that Sofia does not know whether she was raped or not. The third cartoon.

Finally, although this information has been available for two years it has been kept out of the UK media. The names of people like Irmeli Krans, Anna Ardin and Sofia W. have long been in the public domain but the UK media are banned from mentioning these people by name. But the news you get is not the real news, which is why so many people are turning to the Internet to find out what is going on, while politicians keep us in the dark to wage their disgusting wars that good journalists, and the Wikileaks founder and editor in chief, Julian Assange, tell the truth about.

Open letter to the Swedish prosecutor general

Follow @JohnPlatinumG Dear Mr Anders Perklev,

Many people in my country want to know why Marianne Ny appears to have been given special privileges to prosecute a minor case against Julian Assange. Is this the way the Swedish judicial system works? Every man I know would not step foot in Sweden any more for fear of trumped up charges being brought against them. Marianne Ny is supposed to be a prosecutor not a persecutor.

We are also concerned why facts found in articles like the one in Expressen http://www.expressen.se/nyheter/expressen-avslojar/interrogator-in-the-assange-case-friend-with-woman-accusing-wikileaks-founder/ published 18 months ago which showed a friendship existed between Irmeli Krans (police interrogator) and Anna Ardin (complainant) have not been reproduced in the UK media. Does Sweden not believe in the free transfer of important information that could clear a good man's name?

The following open letter states my concerns, and those of many other ordinary people in England.

By email: anders.perklev@aklagare.se

OPEN LETTER TO ANDERS PERKLEV, PROSECUTOR GENERAL, SWEDEN

Dear Anders Perklev,

The extradition of Julian Assange to Sweden under the European Arrest Warrant is currently before the UK Supreme Court, who will decide whether to hear his appeal on the grounds it has not been issued by a proper judicial authority. Mr Assange’s case has drawn international attention and left many ordinary European citizens questioning what safeguards and protections there are in the EAW scheme for people facing police investigation in Europe. In view of this, could you please provide some clarity for non-Swedish citizens on some aspects of Swedish judicial procedure for which you as Prosecutor General have overall responsibility.

On 6 December 2011 the Swedish Prosecution Authority issued a statement pointing out that Sweden decided to make ALL public prosecutors "judicial authorities" for the purposes of issuing EAWs under the Framework Directive. This is not something that was anticipated by British Parliamentarians when drafting the UK Extradition Act 2003 (Hansard), who felt strongly that such warrants should only be issued by a court. May I ask why you felt it necessary to issue such a statement on that date?

Mr Assange’s name was leaked to the press, apparently by the Stockholm Prosecution Service, which is illegal under Sweden’s privacy laws. Can you outline - for an international audience - what steps were taken to investigate this and a summary of the findings. How were those responsible dealt with?

Can you publish some statistics on how often a Swedish public prosecutor nominates themselves as the chief investigator in a case? The Swedish Prosecution Authority English website says: "In the case of less serious crimes, the police continue to lead the preliminary investigation." As the strongest allegation against Mr Assange is described on the Prosecution Authority’s own website as "less serious crime", it is not clear why Marianne Ny is involved in the case as chief investigator at this stage.

Mutual Legal Assistance is ordinarily used to interrogate people in foreign jurisdictions. However,Marianne Ny stated that British and Swedish law prevented her from questioning Julian Assange in London, which was untrue. Her statement was later redacted. What disciplinary measures are available to you as Prosecutor General when a senior public prosecutor misleads the public in this way?

Can you please outline - if only in general terms - on what basis this case was re-opened on 1 September 2010 after Eva Finné, a senior prosecutor you appointed to review it, cancelled the original arrest warrant - "I consider that there are no grounds for suspecting that he has committed rape." - leaving only one instance of alleged molestation still to be investigated? From reading the leaked police protocol on the internet - as millions of people across Europe have - there seems to be only one item of new evidence which might have appeared between Eva Finné’s decision on 25 August 2010 and the re-opening of the case, a torn used condom. However, the forensic analysis of 25 October 2010 included in the prosecution protocol does not support any offences related to this item being included on the face of the EAW issued by Marianne Ny on 18 November 2010. To put it plainly, no DNA could be found on this condom.

http://rixstep.com/2/20110619,00.shtml
http://rixstep.com/2/1/20110622,00.shtml
http://rixstep.com/1/20111126,01.shtml

This would appear not to meet the Prosecution Authority’s Objectivity Demand (on your website): "Forensic evidence must, of course, be gathered and investigated in a correct and secure manner. The prosecutor must also be objective when he or she initiates a prosecution. During the course of the trial it is admittedly the prosecutor’s task to prove that a crime has been committed, but the prosecutor is obliged to give due consideration to anything that could change the situation with respect to evidence."

Again, please outline - for an international audience - whether this is a disciplinary matter and, if so, what disciplinary measures are available to you as Prosecutor General.

I am particularly concerned that Mutual Legal Assistance has not been used in this case. Under Sweden’s Code of Judicial Procedure "the investigation should be conducted so that no person is unnecessarily exposed to suspicion, or put to unnecessary cost or inconvenience." (Chapter 23, Section 4) and there is no doubt that a great deal of both Swedish and British taxpayers’ money has been wasted arguing this extradition in court when much simpler methods could have been used to question Julian Assange. Can you please explain the mechanisms by which Britain is reimbursed its costs in representing the Swedish Prosecution Authority in the UK courts? Likewise, what avenues are available to Mr Assange to seek recompense for his substantial personal legal costs in challenging this abuse of the European Arrest Warrant process?

Yours sincerely,

John Goss, Birmingham, UK

ÖPPET BREV TILL ANDERS PERKLEV, Riksåklagaren, SVERIGE

Bäste Anders Perklev,

Utlämning av Julian Assange till Sverige enligt den europeiska arresteringsordern är för närvarande under behandling i Storbritanniens Högsta domstol. Det som skall avgöras är om man skall höra hans överklagande med motiveringen att den inte har utfärdats av en laga rättslig myndighet. Mr Assanges fall har orsakat internationell uppmärksamhet och många europeiska medborgare undrar därför vilka rättssäkerhetsgarantier och skydd som finns i EAW systemet för personer som står inför polisutredningen i Europa. Mot bakgrund av detta, skulle ni möjligen kunna förklara för både svenska och icke svenska medborgare de aspekter av det svenska rättsliga förfarande för vilket du som Riksåklagaren har det övergripande ansvaret?

Den 6 december 2011 gjorde den svenska Åklagarmyndigheten ett uttalande och påpekade att Sverige beslutat att göra alla offentliga åklagare till så kallat ’rättsliga myndigheter’ för att därmed kunna utfärda europeiska arresteringsordrar enligt ramdirektivet. Detta förutsågs inte av de brittiska parlamentarikerna vid utarbetandet av den brittiska utlämningslagen 2003 (Hansard). En lag som starkt betonade att sådana arresteringsordrar bara bör kunna ges av en domstol. Får jag fråga varför du kände det nödvändigt att göra ovannämnda uttalande sagda datum?

Mr Assanges namn läcktes till pressen, till synes av Stockholms åklagarmyndighet, vilket är olagligt enligt Sveriges lagar. Skulle du kunna beskriva - för en internationell publik - vilka åtgärder som vidtogs för att undersöka detta och en sammanfattning av resultaten. Har de ansvariga identifierats och hur har detta i så fall hanterats?

Har du någon statistik eller uppskattning över hur ofta en svensk åklagare utser sig själv som förundersökningsledare i ett ärende? På den svenska åklagarmyndighetens engelska hemsida står det: ’När det gäller mindre allvarliga brott fortsätter polisen att leda förundersökningen’. Den allvarligaste anklagelsen mot Julian Assange beskrivs på åklagarmyndighetens egen webbplats som ’ett mindre allvarligt brott’. Det är därför svårt att förstå varför Marianne Ny var inblandad i fallet som utredningschef i detta skede.

Konventionen om ’Mutual Legal Assistance’ från 2000 används väl fortfarande vanligen för att förhöra medborgare i andra länder? Marianne Ny uppgav dock att brittisk och svensk lag hindrade henne från att förhöra Julian Assange i London, vilket därmed var osant. Hennes uttalande togs senare tillbaks. Vilka disciplinära åtgärder är tillgängliga för dig som riksåklagare när en högt uppsatt åklagare vilseleder allmänheten på detta sätt?

Kan du beskriva - om så bara i allmänna termer - på vilka grunder detta fall öppnades på nytt den 1 september 2010 efter Eva Finné, en högt uppsatt åklagare som utsetts av dig att granska ärendet, annullerade den ursprungliga arresteringsordern?

’Jag anser att det inte finns anledning att misstänka att han har begått våldtäkt. Detta gör att det nu endast återstår ett fall av sexuellt ofredande att undersöka.’
 Chefsåklagare Eva Finné När man studerar det läckta polisprotokollet på Internet - som miljontals människor över hela Europa har gjort - verkar det endast finnas ett nytt bevis som kan ha uppstått mellan Eva Finnés beslut den 25 augusti 2010 och återupptagandet av förundersökningen: en trasig använd kondom. Emellertid framgår det av den rättsmedicinska analysen från den 25 oktober 2010, vilken ingår i åtalsprotokollet, att detta bevis inte styrker något brott. Några anklagelser relaterade till detta objekt är inte heller nämnda i den europeiska arresteringsordern som utfärdades av Marianne Ny den 18 november 2010. För att tala klarspråk kunde nämligen ingen DNA varken från målsägare eller misstänkt hittas på denna kondom.

http://rixstep.com/2/20110619,00.shtml
http://rixstep.com/2/1/20110622,00.shtml
http://rixstep.com/1/20111126,01.shtml

Detta förefaller inte uppfylla Åklagarmyndighetens krav på objektivitet. På din myndighets hemsida kan man läsa: ’Teknisk bevisning måste naturligtvis tas upp och utredas på ett korrekt och säkert sätt. Åklagaren måste också vara objektiv när han eller hon inleder ett åtal. Under rättegången är det visserligen åklagarens uppgift att bevisa att ett brott har begåtts, men åklagaren är även skyldig att ta vederbörlig hänsyn till något som skulle kunna förändra situationen när det gäller bevisning’.

Återigen, vänligen förklara - för den svenska och internationella allmänheten - om detta är ett disciplinärende och i så fall vilka disciplinära åtgärder finns tillgängliga för dig som riksåklagare?

Särskilt bekymmersamt är att konventionen om ’Mutual Legal Assistance’ inte har använts i detta fall. Enligt den svenska rättegångsbalken ’bör utredningen bedrivas så att ingen person i onödan utsätts för misstanke eller för onödiga kostnader eller besvär’ (kapitel 23, paragraf 4) och det råder ingen tvekan om att en stor del av både svenska och brittiska skattebetalares pengar har gått till spillo i dividerandet om denna utlämning i domstol, när mycket enklare metoder skulle kunna ha använts för att förhöra Julian Assange. Kan du förklara de mekanismer genom vilka England ersätts för sina kostnader när dom representerar den svenska åklagarmyndigheten i de brittiska domstolarna? Likaså vilka vägar står öppna för Mr Assange att söka ersättning för sina stora personliga rättegångskostnader, i sin kamp mot detta missbruk av den europeiska arresteringsorder processen?

Med vänlig hälsning

Enticement - politicising art.

Follow @JohnPlatinumG For some years I used to write poetry and plays, to little acclaim I might add, but they were not crap. Who reads poetry these days? And who goes to the theatre? These pastimes belong largely to audiences of past times. Immediate gratification is the order of the day, today. The length of plays and poems have got shorter to cater for the quick fix of a quick-fix society.

Minimalism has been in vogue for two to three decades, again to cater for the quick fix. It is not easy to encapsulate succinctly a political message in the form of art. Some successful adverts do it. In fact sometimes the adverts with which drama is apostrophised are superior to the drama. If you cannot beat them join them.

I broke into short film-making a month ago when I quickly put together a cartoon concerned with lack of a proper inquest into the death of Dr David Kelly, whose death instead was inquired into by Lord Hutton, instead of following proper procedures. Such things concern me.

Likewise with the entrapment of Julian Assange. He was set up in Sweden and the intention was to take him off the scene for embarrassing the United States, UK and many other countries with his Wikileaks disclosures. This is my second video about how a Swedish police interrogator, Irmeli Krans, and her friend, Anna Ardin, falsified details to try and get Julian Assange extradited to the US, Sweden's new great NATO friend. Please click on the link below, and watch and distribute this Youtube video. Thanks.

Enticement

What free press?

Follow @JohnPlatinumG

Yesterday I phoned the Independent news-desk and later sent them by email a copy of my last-but-one blog post regarding Julian Assange. I sent a copy to the independent Press Complaints Council. The email read:

"Further to our telephone conversation a few minutes ago I am embedding a

link to available information that shows there is another side to the

Julian Assange 'rape' case to that reported in the media. I should like

to see this addressed rather than listen to Joan Smith and Gavin Esler

shouting down Craig Murray on Newsnight for mentioning the name of Anna

Ardin.

http://johngossip.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/the-rape-of-julian-assange.html

A man's life is being toyed with in this dreadful vilification by all

and sundry without anyone giving helpful support. It is like ganging up

on Gandhi. The press should be ashamed.

John Goss"

There was no acknowledgment of receipt of this email either from the Indy or the PCC so I assume the press will continue as it has been doing in depriving the reading public of the real truth. It is therefore up to individual bloggers and good people to make sure this news is in the public domain.

Today I discovered the statement of Göran Rudling. It is amazing. It is probably the strongest proof of a police and political cover-up imaginable. Göran Rudling describes himself as a law reform activist. He is particularly interested in rape cases because his mother was raped by her step-father. As might be expected he is concerned that rapists are prosecuted. But he also believes in justice and realising there was something wrong in the prosecution case lodged his concerns.

He discovered Anna Ardin’s tweet deletions showing how much she was enjoying being in Assange's company the day after the alleged rape, and also her 7 step revenge blog on men who dump their women, which Ardin also tried to delete. From his statement it appears that he persistently sent information to the Swedish police that they have been unable to locate. He is a very credible and reliable witness which shows this case to have been flawed from the start, with clear political objectives. The UK media is disgusting in not presenting this to the public who are still being misled into believing that Julian Assange has a case of rape to answer. What has happened to my country?

Göran Rudling's statement is in the form of a .pdf file at the foot of this link.

The rape of Julian Assange

Follow @JohnPlatinumG

Last week, I thought I had turned up a breaking news article about Julian Assange which might clear his name. It was in the Swedish newspaper, Expressen, and claimed that one of the women accusing Assange of rape, Anna Ardin, was previously friends with the gay activist police interrogator, Irmeli Krans. This was some months before going with Sofia Wilen to the police station where Krans worked (not the one near to where these women reside) to make a complaint concerning Assange and condoms. Much to my chagrin the article turned out to have been published in March 2011 yet tomorrow the date will read 1 September 2012. Expressen, like other annoying newspapers, has the habit of superimposing the current date over old articles. There should be a law against this practice because it makes seekers after the truth look like idiots. At least it would do if anybody in this country had heard of this story. What is most disturbing about this story is that it has been around for almost eighteen months, and the UK media have totally ignored it. I had not heard about it or I would not have called it breaking news. You had not heard about it. But there is a lot more you have not heard.

There has been plenty of coverage of the name of Julian Assange, usually mentioned in the same sentence as the word ‘rape’, yet nothing of those who have made it their business to entrap him. Even my M.P. Steve McCabe tweeted how he thought Julian Assange should be extradited to Sweden to face rape charges. Why have the media made no mention of the other story, the one that could clear Assange? Yesterday I watched Sophia Smallstorm’s video questioning the official version of what really happened to the World Trade Centre on September 11, 2001. It finishes with the following:

"This film was made to present possibilities and raise questions. We do not control our airwaves. We have consigned them to large corporations who create scripted soundbites serving as news." 

And this is what we are getting regarding Julian Assange, a brave man who has had to seek refuge in the Ecuadorian Embassy to avoid extradition to the United States where he would be imprisoned indefinitely for leaking the shocking footage of US military personnel shooting innocent civilians and boasting about their conquests. It is true, we are getting scripted soundbites from the Zionist/Neocon media for nearly every news item published or broadcast today. This makes me ask if it is Julian Assange in need of rehabilitation, or is it the United States of America and its puppet the United Kingdom?

Let us look at the police statement taken by Irmeli Krans who now describes herself as a politician on Facebook. I suspect you did not know that much of this statement is available. I suspect you did not know that the original interrogation conducted by Irmeli Krans was in the public domain. This says more about who owns the media than the journalists themselves. They are not allowed to mention the names of Anna Ardin, Sofia Wilen or Irmeli Krans. Why not? Because if they did you might stumble across Sofia Wilen’s police statement  - which is quite graphic, and one which it might be added Sofia Wilen would not sign.

The interrogator, Anna Ardin’s friend, Irmeli Krans, has a politician’s way with making words say what is required at the time rather than making any serious attempt to tell the truth. The three belong to the same political party but Krans’ fabrication of the truth may be the reason why Sofia Wilen did not sign the original statement. Later it got even further embellished. There was an attempt to destroy the original statement but they found this was not possible. A week after Wilen's statement was taken Irmeli Krans made the following additions (in bold and underlined).

“When they went back in the bedroom Julian stood in front of Sofia and grabbed her hips and pushed her demonstratively down on the bed, as if he were a real man.”

“She lay awake a long time wondering what had happened and exchanged SMS messages with her friends. He lay beside her snoring.” 

“At one point when he mounted her from behind, she turned to look at him and smiled and he asked her why she was smiling, what she had to smile about. She didn't like the tone in his voice.”

I advise people to read the full statement to get the full context. Excuse me, but if Sofia is smiling while they are making love it does not seem like Julian Assange is raping her, or am I missing something? Wake up world. You are tools of the media!

Breaking News on Julian Assange

Follow @JohnPlatinumG I can’t see it being long now before Julian Assange is walking free. Today a Swedish newspaper, Expressen, has published an article which claims that Anna Ardin (though she is not mentioned by name) was friends with a police interrogator on the Assange case. Expressen was the newspaper that first broke the story of Assange’s arrest, so it can hardly be considered pro-Assange.

This is a big turning point in my opinion. Especially since the two women who went to the police station together, appear to have gone at the beginning of this interrogator’s shift. You can almost smell the sweet aromas of a woman to woman phone call before the Anna and Sofia arrived at the police station to be interviewed by a friend of one of them. Only somebody with a passing interest in this case, someone who has been catching all the endless snippets of the words ‘rape’ and ‘Assange’ in the same sentence, can be naive enough to believe there is any credibility to this concocted sex scandal. They are all in the same Social Democratic Party, and this brings us to what chance of a fair trial would Assange have in Sweden? I quote from one of the best accounts of the Assange case regarding secret trials in Sweden.

 “Even in this relatively enlightened country, human sexuality is a subject fraught with deep and often subconscious feelings of guilt and shame. “Prosecution witnesses need not worry about other witnesses coming forward to refute their evidence, because their evidence will not be heard in public.” Most of those stories involve the treatment of men accused of sex crimes. It is one of the dark corners of Swedish society that seldom sees the light — most likely because, even in this relatively enlightened country, human sexuality is a subject fraught with deep and often subconscious feelings of guilt and shame.

 But jurists and other interested parties with direct experience of sex-related cases have become increasingly alarmed by what appears to be a systematic bias that often leads to bizarre and tragic judgements. There are several reasons for this, one being that trials for sex crimes are almost invariably held behind closed doors. “This tradition grew up a long time ago, before the [Second World] war, to prevent the press reporting ‘immoral’ evidence, and was later advanced to protect the privacy of complainants and defendants,” notes one of Assange’s Swedish lawyers, who further explains that his client, “… notwithstanding the avalanche of publicity damaging to him about the prosecution case, will be tried in secret and the public will not be aware of any exposure in the courtroom of the weakness of that case.

Prosecution witnesses need not worry about other witnesses coming forward to refute their evidence, because their evidence will not be heard in public.” Further, “The trial will be heard by a judge and three laypersons who sit with him or her. The three laypersons, appointed by political parties, are often members of the parties that appoint them.… I should add that the danger caused by media prejudice is also present at the court of appeal level, where the hearings will again be in secret.”

 Last night Newsnight presenter Gavin Esler and Independent on Sunday columnist Joan Smith almost jumped down Craig Murray’s throat for mentioning Anna Ardin, one of the two women who sought to expose Julian Assange as a sexual deviant. But the truth is her name, and that of her co-conspirator, Sofia Wilén, have been in the public domain for two years. What the media do not want is people searching the internet to find out the truth. The truth is becoming something alien to the media. That is why they want to gag Julian Assange. It is why they want to gag Craig Murray. Ironically it is two years today since Assange was set free on the same charges of which they say he needs to answer questions now.
