We do not speak Russian yet it was Russia who won the war on the Western front.
Don't quite understand what you mean by that.

I have access to the internet and I just checked. According to a number of sites I found the holocaust never happened. Don't know where you got your bogus information from, but since I found mine on the internet, it must be true. I didn't even use Wikipedia. :wink:

First part was a joke because I think people tend to overstate the importance of the US in the European Theatre.

So yesterday they were accusing the main guy behind Wikileaks(I forget his name) of rape and molestation and issued warrants. Lots of people assumed they were made up charges, most likely some sort of CIA maneuver. I do not know if it was the CIA, that seems a bit conspiracy theory to just jump to that conclusion but I am pretty sure the charges were false and were probably a result of pressure from the US on the Swedish government. Anyway, the charges are dropped today, one day later. The Swedish government say he is not wanted for those charges and have said nothing else about it.

Pretty fuckin' ridiculous shit if you ask me.

My guess is he'll end up dead soonish. Maybe a heart attack in his hot tub. :roll:

And maybe he really raped a girl.

Then why did they drop the charge and say he was not wanted for that the next day if that is so?

What about him? I didn't know he was working for Wikileaks. :smartass:

Didn't Switzerland decide to turn him over to a court when he left France?

No, but good luck getting him for rape charges in Europe.

Look, my point is maybe you shouldn't jump the gun and begin launching the conspiracy theories within 24 hours. We know you're already biased in opinion on account of your beliefs regarding government and Wikileaks, but what if it really happened? Give it some time to let the facts emerge. Otherwise, if and when the truth ever comes out, if it differs from how you see it, you won't be just another crazy-eyed conspiracy theorist waving his arms frantically while declaring the US never landed on the moon.

I found the timing of the accusation to be a bit convenient is all really. I know nothing about the guy or what kind of person he is outside of his work with Wikileaks.

Hey, coincidences happen, and you may have only been paying attention to it because his name was in the media recently. Wikileaks releases information all the time. Sure, it's not always as high level as the stuff he posted recently, but it doesn't necessarily mean they're related.

So, these new cables are interesting. As it turns out, if you are against Wikileaks you are in favor of covering up for American companies who sell young boys to pedophiles.
