Rape is not Hilarious @wikileaks


Impeding one investigation in reference to another investigation in another jurisdiction, has been a long shot and a mistake for assange and friends.
JP Barlow of the EFF Electronic Frontier Foundations calls rape “ungentlemanly.”
Glenn Greenwald acts like nothing happened.
Amy Goodman gets apples and oranges mixed up. She will not mention the victims.
but this case has provided us with interesting points of law to consider.
it has also provided us a chance to experience various levels of decorum in the assange case research community.
i personally feel that understanding of the criminal law procedures is severely impaired by the assange supporters who call others trolls, issue death threats, rape threats, and such.
the most cruel verbal harassment i saw was a threat to sexually mutilate david allen green, choking him with his own severed body part.
this is reprehensible.
we are stalked and harassed by assange supporters for our work against rape and the obstruction of justice which has occurred.
time is of the essence in a rape investigation, but in 2 years of delays and disinformation campaigns there has been plenty of time to create new lies.
the intellectual climate has been degraded by so much shouting. it would be better if we could look at this from a human rights law perspective.
the myth of sovereignty has been replaced by the myth of human rights.
assange cannot assert Ecuadorian State sovereignty over women’s human rights not to be raped.
maybe it is a “nice try” and buys him some time.
The Trajectory of Human Rights law under International rubrics will not tolerate male dominated governments over-ruling the human rights of women.
there is a growing body of persons who see that the Myth of Soverignty harkens to an older era where the nation state apparatus was free to dominate and oppress and rape its subjects and chattle (women). We are moving beyond this. Women are International Persons with Human Rights which take an International Context. More attention to the binding treaties and case law of extradtion will help us see a way in to these problems.
what the Assange camp always fails to note is CEDAW, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. The Optional Protocol leaves room for parties to make complaints when they have been subjected to state enforced discrimination. In essence, it is Sweden’s duty to pursue this case, as a failure to do so would be a breach of CEDAW.
Sweden’s consistent failures to rape victims were well documented and exposed in 2009 by Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International.
the criminal remedies available in sweden should be respected. otherwise the victims should take this before a higher body under the Optional Protocol of CEDAW or ECHR to allege a failure on the part of the state to protect their human rights.
The victims attorneys should also compile the e-evidence of the stalking and shaming and victim-blaming which has occurred in retaliation for their reports, under the leadership of Assange, and file a seperate civil suit for infliction of emotional distress, stalking, and defamation.
for a good example of this type of approach see the Oregon Match.com rapist victim counter-suit for 2 million USA $ for invasion of privacy, infliction of emotional distress, and stalking.

anyone who has been slandered by the assange website should also sue for relief from assange’s defamation campaign dragnet which has attacked many women beyond the victims.
this includes Gudrun Schyman.
Ecuador should not interfere with this process, especially in light of their extreme human rights crimes to women.
Ecuador insults its own rape victims and human trafficking victims and domestic violence victims by entertaining the possibility.
a glance at Ny’s statement in 2011 shows that Sweden would have to negotiate back with UK which will hand over O’Dwyer.
Most of the assange pundits confuse the serious investigation of Espionage in the USA with the serious matter of Human Rights for women in Sweden. Fortunately, with Hillary Clinton so committed to Women’s Rights and CEDAW it seems that we have all the time in the world, for human rights for women, the Rule of Law in sweden, an amelioration of Ecuador’s crimes against Women, Corrective Rapes of Lesbians in Torture Centers, their Bullying of the Free Press, and their callous statement that rape is “hilarious.”
Rape is not “hilarious” in Sweden or any where else.
Ecuador’s Foreign Minister Ricado Patino should be immediately retired for such an insult to women’s human rights and the Swedish Judiciary.
If Ecuador asserts Sovereignty, they must also recognize the sovereignty of Sweden to conduct criminal investigations.
Sadly, the effects are numerous and profound and immediate.
immediate insult to the women of Ecuador to have the public humiliation of their male Leaders expressing such a disrespectful attitude towards rape.
Rape is a matter of International law.
Gender Based Violence is systemic. Increasingly our International Bodies are approaching systemic violations of women through rape, and especially through rape as a method of warfare, and systemic sexual torture, as is ongoing in Syria.
any insult to rape victims at this time is cruel and unfortunate.
instead we need a body of committed individuals internationally to assess the international comparative aspects of our separate jurisdictional approaches to rape. some jurisdictions may have strengths. we can share.
the work of michelle j anderson at CUNY to outline the inherent problems with marital rape law immunity extensions to acquaintance rape is profound. i am truly intrigued about the force and wording of any similar provision of protection for rape victims in sweden comparable to the “Rape Shield” law concept. I find that Ny spoke of the dangers that assange might “interfere” with the evidence.
In his time out on bail he has interfered with the possibility of an unbiased trial by circulating gossip to discredit the women and by promoting attack book which reframes rape as “free love” or “swedish sex” in a porn history by oscar swartz. i do not believe oscar swartz possesses the legal education to understand that he has essentially tarred and feathered the victims by calling them porn stars and attacking their morality according to his judeo-christian sexist sensibilities. that assange promotes a book demeaning and villainizing the women is a profound disrespect of their right to report a crime without retaliation, stalking, cyberbullying, in light of the seriousness of the crime.
christine assange also promotes the “swedish sex” redefining rape as “free love” for julian assange book.
this point seems lost on every one, in this particular idiocracy.
that assange stalks his victims may align with previous research of stalking of his ex-wife and planting of child porn on her boyfriend and police informant work uncovered by @PGPBoard Alan Taylor in England.
it is not confirmed to my satisfaction, but the sexism and vulgarity and racism of assange’s early emails published by crypto me, and his eagerness for CIA financing do raise some concerns.
that the Rape Shield Law violations and Victim Attacks might have been prevented, through force of Swedish Law having more protections for a speedy investigation, protections against stalking and defaming the women, or through compensatory punitive measures should the code fail to halt the attacks on the victims.
it is also a failure of the british System that their courts drug on so long, and theta their ankle bracelet surveillance by Serco has been so ineffective.
it is less and less surprising to me, that good people still support assange.
i realize they haven’t studied the case as much as we have, and they haven’t followed every single move.
the curious question of rixstep too, gave me much dismay when i saw rixstep rick downes harassing victim 1 may 27, 2012 on twitter before the court announcement. that assange continues to promote a blogger who harasses his victims, is a a separate criminal act of sexual harassment and retaliation for reporting a crime and a rape shield violation.
that’s all for now.
writ for:

nikki brooker from ethical action in london sent this.
it's interesting to hear me talk so fast.
all of this taken into consideration as my understanding in january 2012, new issues and facts have emerged which concern me, surrounding the deterioration of the case, including victim stalking, victim attacks, cyberbullying of independent researchers, continued attacks on women's rights in sweden, citation of a neo-nazi and promotion of neonazi on assange's website by rixstep who threatens lawsuit to al burke, general rudeness cursing and name calling on twitter from @wikileaks and promotion of book which attacks the women in retaliation for reporting rape.

all of this is unethical. 

with that as a preface, it is kind of interesting to hear me rattle this off.
