Assange accuser posts tweet encouraging cyber-attacks on Mastercard, Visa, Paypal, for some reason
Ms. Anna Ardin is getting weirder by the minute. On December 8th, the lady who accuses Assange of raping her tweeted, "mastercard, visa och paypal - skärp er, nu!" which translates into, "Mastercard, Visa and Paypal- Hit it now!" http://www.crikey.com.au/2010/12/09/rundle-r-pe-case-complainant-has-left-sweden-may-have-ceased-co-operating/

Is Ms. Ardin trying too hard to prove she is not an undercover intelligence agent?

1. Sounds like she doesn't want to be a part of
what has turned into a Salem Withchhunt-like attempt to take down Wikileaks. All she may have wanted to do initially was to get a little revenge on a guy who in her view, had insulted her by having sex with another woman. She said from the start that there was no rape, no violence or fear of violence. But when they brought in that lawyer, things changed and excalated.

Still no charges filed against Assange, so why is he in jail again?

4. Don't think so. I think this whole 'sex' case was merely a ploy
to hold him until the U.S. can find a crime to charge him with. There is something in those documents they are pretty terrified of having the public see. I am willing to bet it will be the ones related to the Big U.S. Bank set to be released in January.

If they can get him to this country by then, file charges, then put a freeze on the documents being released calling them evidence in an espionage case, all the corrupt Wall St. Criminals can breathe a sigh of relief.

Wikileaks should release them now. Why wait?

But I'm only guessing of course. Still, they did nothing when the War logs were released and not much has been revealed that we did not already know, just verification of it and some insight into what those running those illegal wars were thinking.

The rage didn't begin until word about the Bank revelations became public.

As for the woman Ann Ardin, I think she was just a patsy. Maybe it finally dawned on her. She better watch out if she plans on messing up their phony rape case though, at least until they get him to the U.S.

9. I agree. Because with Lieberman now calling for the
NYT to be 'investigated', it's very likely that the more threatening the U.S. becomes, the news orgs who have so far been publishing the material, may back off. Then it will be hard to get it to the public.

I know they have an 'insurance' file, but they really do need to see it in major, respected news organizations in order for it to have any real impact.

I think the NYT is already frightened. Don't know about the Guardian, they've been doing a fantastic job if alalyzing and organizing the material.

But I agree, if that's what they are so frazzled over, it needs to get out now. Of course that might mean that Assange is even more viciously prosecuted, or worse, 'suicided'. He seems to have expected it though. He knew he was playing with fire. Hopefully it's out of his hands now anyhow.

14. Yes, he did and I hope it is. However, he is now in custody and
who knows what threats he may be subjected to in order to stop that release. Which is why I wish they would do it now.

11. 100% Right - 0% Wrong
There is no reason to wait. Drop them, unfiltered, and then the bank will have more to deal with than Wikileaks and Assange.

5. Interesting, isn't it...
...she has fled Sweden and is not supporting the case against Assange now.

Another tangled web...

Julian Assange Accuser "Still in Sweden"

The coordinator of a Christian outreach group in the West Bank denied reports Friday that one of two women accusing WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange of sex offenses had left Sweden and traveled to a town in the Palestinian territory.

Australian news website "Crikey" reported on Thursday that Anna Ardin had traveled to the town of Yanoun, in the West Bank, with the Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in Jerusalem and Israel (EAPPI) earlier this week.

Ardin, however, "cancelled her participation because we anticipated this," program coordinator Pauline Nunu told CBSNews.com Friday morning in a telephone interview. "She's still in Sweden and she's not coming to Palestine."


And no one believed me when I said that Crikey journalist was full of it although he was at least big enough to admit that her attorney said it was false and she was still cooperating.

6. People will blame Assange and Wikileaks should they experience problems with MC, VISA, etc.

16. oh please!
She has a long history of supporting Wikileaks which is how she MET Assange in the first place. This "CIA agent" nonsense is just bizarre.

And why shouldn't she still support Wikileaks? Since when do people who have been assaulted automatically hate what they did for a living or where they worked or where they lived, etc.? And is there some idiotic reason why they should be expected to?

Looks like that Crikey journalist, Guy Rundle, is out to get this woman. He's the same one to spread the false rumor that she's left the country and stopped cooperating.
