Hard News: Wikileaks: The Cable Guys, in reply to Don Christie,
Ask Russell, Don, and I'll accept his ruling. His house, his rules, and the rest of us are just guests.
But, frankly dear, the idea that I get "favoured nation" status from RB is simply absurd -- and I've got plenty of evidence on and off-line to back it up. If I cross a line I'll get slapped down like everyone else - no more, but certainly no less.
If you want to bitch me, fine -- if you can't take it, you shouldn't dish it. But I sincerely think you owe Russell an apology for an unfair and inaccurate attack on his integrity.
FWIW, watching some Assage-defenders go to town on the complainants just increases my respect for abuse victims like Louise Nicholas who won't shut up and go away. On the downside, it sure reminded me why I didn't disclose my own sexual assault for many years -- the consequences, not least an effective outing, would have been catastrophic.

Elsewhere, Reason senior editor Michael C. Moynihan fisks the idea that Anna Ardin is a CIA ho-mole.
BTW, folks, Reason is an American libertarian magazine and Moynihan makes it perfectly clear he's not sympathetic with what he calls "the overly broad Swedish conception of rape." YMMV, of course - but good on his for owning that he pushed in the misinformation that in Sweden "consensual sex without a condom" is considered rape in Sweden. Perhaps someone could tell John Campbell that the next time he has an Assange mouthpiece on his show.
-
Well, maybe not THAT seriously, since the charges were instantly thrown out, and then reopened only after Assange embarrassed some of the most powerful people on the planet.
Yeah yeah, the Swedish judiciary are all a pack of CIA stooges. I got the memo.
Yeah, that's a mind-blowing insight.
Not half as mind-blowing as the window into the "frisky" heterosexualist lifestyle. I have nothing against straight people, some of my best friends are straight, I love my straight family members, but damn...
Note to self: the phrase "rape as we know it" is no prettier in an Australian accent.
And Campbell just sat there like a chastity belt at an orgy. I'm afraid Mr. Campbell and Campbell Live will not be gracing my Twitter feed any longer - got more than enough bullshit in my life without importing more.

Elsewhere, Campbell Live runs rape bingo from one of Assange's lawyers untroubled by any context-setting or balance. ( WARNING: Link not safe for up-tight, hysterical, man-hating feminist types)

Hard News: Wikileaks: The Cable Guys, in reply to Danyl Mclauchlan,
The Ex-File who thought it was sooo sexy to trying fucking me up the arse without all that tiresome consent or conscious participation rubbish was such a catch...
BTW, Daniel, he was also trying to do that shit without a condom -- which was a little concerning when I found out, a few weeks later, he'd also been barebacking random pick ups throughout our relationship. This might come as a surprise to you, but I don't appreciate being put at risk of an HIV-infection (or some other manky STD) by someone I should have been able to trust.
-
This might come as an amazing shock to some PAS commentators but waking up, feeling frisky and trying to initiate sex with your partner is standard behaviour amongst sexually active adults.
*blink* Yeah, why have I spent the last fifteen years with a man who doesn't do zombie sex? The Ex-File who thought it was sooo sexy to trying fucking me up the arse without all that tiresome consent or conscious participation rubbish was such a catch...
@Ben:
It could be as silly and petty as Naomi Wolf suggests, or it could have been quite a serious crime.
@Danyl:
In the absence of more facts and with the assumption of innocence this is a silly point to judge him on.
Perhaps the prosecutors and complainants could be extended a similar courtesy -- the presumption they not hysterical liars and CIA stooges?
And here's a really insane idea for the benefit of Ms. Wolfe -- perhaps Sweden taking sexual assaults on women seriously is worth praising, not the occasion for witless rape apologist bullshit bingo.

Hard News: Wikileaks: The Cable Guys, in reply to Rich of Observationz,
I’d have thought James was making an obvious point. If someone sent a set of patient records or the WINZ client database to Wikileaks, they’d refuse to publish them, because they are not material of ethical, political and historical significance.
Which refutes the suggestions made upthread that Wikileaks *would* publish such data.
Wikileaks did publish Wesley Snipes' tax returns (and while he's a rather peculiar tax cheat I fail to see the "significance" of their publication), so pardon me if I'm every so slightly sceptical that they'd never ever publish personal data.

"Waaah - shut up stupid poopy ca-ca head." That an accurate summary?

Hard News: Wikileaks: The Cable Guys, in reply to Seriatim,
I was trying to be cleverly snide about the continuing attention paid to one man and his genitals rather than the political fallout of events …
And here was me thinking you were failing to be as clever as you think you are about sexual abuse of women, and winning the Oscar for best performance as a twatcock in a public forum.
Thanks for clearing that up. Here’s a nice, shiny Rape Apologist Bingo Card to be “cleverly snide” about. You and Ms Wolfe also need a refresher course in Advanced Slut-Shaming (Passive-Aggressive Privilege Division), but I can't be bothered.

Are you planning to introduce your point to the group at any time?
