Assange/Wikileaks News

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden called Julian Assange a 'high-tech terrorist' today on Meet The Press. This is the strongest condemnation of Assange by any US official to date.

As the United States scrambles to find a law to charge Assange, I predict they will eventually invent some sort of conspiracy related charge in an attempt to shut him up. I also predict massive failure on the part of the United States government in doing it.

Friday December 17, 2010; I just can't quit you Julian.

I consider this a win for the atheist movement (if there is such a thing). The Quebec Government has banned all religious teachings in any subsidized daycare facilities. There are about 100 such daycare facilities in the province. Religious displays such as menorahs would be allowed under the law which takes effect in June 2011. 

Julian Assange is free on bail from a UK jail and staying at a rich friends country manor. Which reminds me; I have a rich friend with a country manor and I must go visit soon!

the Daye. Update for Thursday December 16, 2010

It seems the Toronto Police Service is continuing it's G20 style service of doing nothing when crimes are being committed. The Toronto Star reports that defense lawyer Ehsan Ghebrai alleges that when he noticed his 2004 Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle was missing recently he was told by someone at 52 Division that they didn't have the resources and he should ask his condo for surveillance footage.

Earlier this week a massive snowstorm shut down highway 402 in southwestern Ontario. As of yesterday afternoon all the stranded travelers had been rescued and no injuries were reported. Today it was reported that a man's body was found 50 metres from his stranded car on Tuesday afternoon. Once again, I cannot stress how important it is to have an emergency kit in your vehicle, especially during the winter months.

Julian Assange of Wikileaks fame has been released on bail in the UK. According to a report on The Globe & Mail website;

"The 39-year-old Wikileaks founder, and world-renown whistleblower, smiled broadly, punched fists with his lawyer through the rails of the courtroom dock, and gave a “thumbs up” to 200 spectators at London’s High Court Thursday."

The group known as 'Anonymous' which claimed responsibility for hacking MasterCard's website last week released a video on December 14th vowing to defend Assange. Here it is:

Julian Assange: Why the world needs WikiLeaks

 

I haven't posted anything about Julian Assange or Wikileaks, so now that Assange is about to be released on bail in the UK I thought this would be a good place to start.
