Toast Sandwich
Julian Assange had his account frozen because there was an issue with the “paperwork.” The bankers are out to get this guy since they are his next target.
The Swiss bank PostFinance moved Monday to close WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s bank account in the latest international move to isolate him in the wake of his release of once-secret U.S. State Department cables.
Bank spokesman Alex Josty said the bank took the step after it determined that Assange, an Australian, wasn’t a resident of Switzerland as he’d declared when he opened the account. Josty said the bank re-examined the original paperwork after WikiLeaks, seeking donations, posted the account information on its website. “It’s no problem for an Australian to have an account, but they have to live in Switzerland,” Josty said.
The whole Lady Gaga Palin sandwich thing is, well, a nasty shock to anyone’s blood supply.
I am requesting more Christina Hendricks pictures please.
I was wondering the same thing about the bank accounts and residency when I read about it today.
Really the point is moot, if you have a Swiss bank account then you are protected under their bank laws. If you do not have a Swiss bank account then you are too poor to give a shit about and that is the simple fact. As it stand the US has thrown a shitload of money to prop up USB so the Swiss banking interest is expected to give him up as they have
He hasn’t broken any laws so far as I can make out and that point seems moot as well. They will get him and to bleep with due process/justice and that bleep.
The powers that be only support those concepts when they find it convenient and the public is happy to go along with it so don’t say you didn’t know what to expect when they decide to work you over and nobody objects.
In reference to eighthnote that is her “I can’t stand being around these people” face. Unfortunately we are going to see more of it. You are exactly right deowll, if you try to stand up for people who can’t defend themselves, you end up hanged in an auto erotic asphyxiation suicide case!
I’m a Canadian and I have a bank account in CH. As long as the address is valid you can open an account. It’s when you give them false info, they reserve the right to reject or freeze your account.
According to his lawyers, this bank account was to be used to fund Mr. Assange’s defence against the charges brought against him in Sweden.
If he did commit the crime he has been alleged to have committed in Sweden whilst having a higher public profile than just about anyone in the world he would have to be completely insane.
His lawyer claims she sought consular assistance from the Australian government and did not receive it, she has sought information regarding his arrest warrant from the British authorities, INTERPOL and Europol and has not received a reply.
It would seem that he has not committed any crime relating to WikiLeaks releases and the editors of the Guardian and New York Times have not been threatened with death.
The only person that has likely committed a crime is Bradley Manning, and he didn’t sell the documents to a foreign government he gave them to WikiLeaks presumably out of the belief that what he was doing was moral.
If you allow your government to keep everything secret (I think some things should be kept relatively closed as long as there is independent scrutiny) how will you know if they are lying to you or committing crimes?
P.S. I have no evidence and therefore no opinion on whether this is a PSYOP. I believe in due process and innocence before the law until proven otherwise.
#26 U couldn’t be more right.
This whole wikileaks thing could be a movie, really. Everyone is against them or this guy that they’re doing everything they can to shut him down. Forget about the other unquestionable bank accounts there and the people that they belong to. We need to get this guy first and foremost before we get back to “normal” life.
If I was a criminal with a bank account there, I be celebrating right now. Go Osama, here’s your chance!
Ah, US, what a great place to be!
btw, Palin is HOT! stupid but still HOT.
“According to Assange’s methodology, if he’s got nothing to hide, he’s got nothing to fear in confronting his accusers”
Right because the powers that be have never falsely convicted anyone they felt endangered them.
And even if they had what’s an occasional lynching now and again between friends?
