Wikileaks: Did Julian Assange Write Cables To Help US Invade Yemen?

BEFORE Yemen can be invaded, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange arrived at Beccles police station, Suffolk, as part of his bail conditions. He has taken to wearing a cape. His knickers are still inside his trousers. But there is danger in reading your own press. And it is Assange’s press. He operates as the Guardian’s editor at large, holding up the paper in news conferences as proof of… Well, what? That he is being listened to? That journalists are lazy? If they sign the confidentiality agreement and, maybe, donate cash, then they get the Wikileaks cables.

Julian Assange Shagged My Girlfriend: Wikileaks, Michael Hutchence And HIV

JULIAN Assange: More threads of the rape allegations made against him by two Swedish woman are emerging. Should there be a trial, then all the details will be made public. This is Wikileaks – transparency is all, right?

David Rose thinks so. He’s the Daily Mail writer who brings the world:

The wildly promiscuous lifestyle of WikiLeaks boss Julian Assange: Look away now Jemima as our report reveals the sordid truth

Jemima is Jemima Khan, who bought her way into the Wikileaks story by posting part of Assange’s bail, grandstanding on the court steps and then wring about it in the Guardian. This is Jemima Khan, daughter to the late Sir James Goldsmith, the three-time married multi-millionaire who married his mistress. Don’t bother to look away, Jemima, there’s nothing to shock you here.

Will Rape Accuser’s Allegation Of ‘Worst Sex Ever’ Doom Julian Assange?

JULIAN Assange, the Wikileaks founder, is embroiled in a story of an alleged rape. You can read the details here. But what you can read now is that the alleged victims allegedly told a friend that sex with Assange was “the worst sex ever“:

Not only had it been the world’s worst screw, it had also been violent.”

Assange disputes her version of events. He denies any wrongdoing.  The rst of her account goes like this. Again, he disputes her claims:

They are drinking tea at her flat in Stockholm.

Lee Harvey Oswald’s Coffin Sold For $56,000: JFK Is Missing

ANYONE who wants to be like Lee Harvey Oswald can now do so as the coffin that housed him for 20 years goes up for auction. Oswald infamously killed J F Kennedy on November 22, 1963. Or did he? There was a rumour that JFK was actually shot by Grassy Knoll or someone else.

Wikileaks Fight With Bank Of America Is One It Can Only Lose

WIKILEAKS is now persona non grata at Bank of America Corp. This might be a badge of honour given the reputation of banks. But it can only damage Wikileaks’s ability to raise funds.

Says BOA:

“This decision is based upon our reasonable belief that WikiLeaks may be engaged in activities that are, among other things, inconsistent with our internal policies for processing payments.”

Of course, there will no small irony in any bank refusing a client on the strength of their moral compass. But, still, odd behaviour and inconsistency is rife on all sides. Michael Moore bought into the Wikileaks story and then in a matter of days managed to reveal just how flawed the US cable leaks are. Julian Assange was reluctant to reveal his home address.

Wikileaks responds to the BOA move with this doomed piece of polemic:

“We ask that all people who love freedom close out their accounts at Bank of America.”

Egads! Now Wikileaks is asking people to join its cause with their cash. Will they? We think not. Closing a bank account is never easy. It’s a lot harder than clicking a button to create a denial of service.

April Webster And Nathan Fishbourne Are Parents At 14

BRITAIN’S youngest parents are 14-year-olds April Webster and Nathan Fishbourne, of Caerphilly, South Wales.

The Sun loves news of how the young are active in bringing down the average age of the population, creating a younger, more vibrant work force to help ease the grey burden.

Last February we met Alfie Patten, 13, who claimed to have fathered his lover, 15-year-old Chantelle Steadman’s daughter Masie (pictured). It turned out that Alfie’s cougar had been actually impregnated by a 15-year-old.

Emma Watson Is The World’s First Moving iPad Cover Girl

EMMA Watson, the Harry Potter WILF, is  the  first person to feature on a moving magazine cover for iPad, namely the Marie Claire offering. The Daily Prophet may yet be made real:

Says Joanna Coles, editor in chief of Marie Claire, New York:

“It’s the first time that it’s been done and I’m so excited. I showed it to a couple of men in the office and they just wanted it sitting on their desk, running on a loop, because it’s just so much fun – it looks like Emma’s kind of flirting, but in a nice way.”

British Soldiers Issued With Massive Utility Codpieces: Photos

WHEN all else fails, make the enemy in Helmand think you have a gigantic penis and balls the size of Aunt Bessie’s Yorkshire puddings. Time to wear the combat codpiece.

The “Tier 2” device (military speak, readers) aims to protect the soldier’s genitals, especially from roadside bombs which explode upwards. It is cable in khaki, vermillion and if you order now you get fairy lights, an inbuilt vinyl record player on which to play Christmas albums, two supper woofers, a flare gun and a button than when pressed releases a flag bearing the message “BANG! BANG! BABY!”.

P Diddy Combs Suffers As Woman Catches Fire In His Bath Full Of Tap Water

FIRST Usher is kicked in the head by a fan. Now The New York Fire Department is at the venue for Sean “Diddy” Combs new album launch. There is a fire. Diddy Man is OK but the woman sat in his bath tub has a shorter, curlier wig than usual as what passes for her hair catches fire.

The whole thing looks like a put up job. If anything was burning it that room, the crew would be hanging over the source and taking it in deep.

Julian Assange’s Lover: Improper Emails To A Young Woman

JULIAN Assange is the 33-year-old, self-confessed improper lover courting a 19-year-old girl at University of Melbourne in 2004. He was studying physics and mathematics at that time. Gawker’s Adrian Chen says the emails he sent the woman known only a Elizabeth are “creepy”. It is a “stalkery courtship”.

It is nothing of the sort. If this is supposed to cast a light on Assange’s attitude to women, if only shows him to be courteous and tweedy. Assange writes like a teenager who has just read Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas. In these alleged emails to Elizabeth, he sounds not a lot unlike Uncle Monty in Withnail And I “Flowers are essentially tarts; prostitutes for the bees”; “There is, you’ll agree, a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’ oh, so very special about a firm, young carrot. Mmmm, excuse me” – sauced with Marlon Brando in Last Tango In Paris.

Julian Assange’s Bail House Is Vaughan Smith’s Suffolk Pile Ellingham Hall: Photos

Assange is neither stalking nor creepy. He is wooing a younger woman, effecting a world-weariness and the language of the gnostic diletanttant to get him laid. It fails. But you should admire Assange’s perseverance and effort. The man is an Australian trying to pull a bird with no lager or pies. He never stood a chance…

Julian Assange’s Personal Webpage: IQ.Org

The Manners:

I found your company and kisses very appealing. I want to explore them further. Are you busy Monday night? I enjoyed our moonlit walk and the easy intimacy of our interaction. I had hoped that such an interaction would produce an interesting friendship if nothing more.

Please respond.

Wikileaks Killed 1300 People And Counting

Every Man’s Dream:

It is not so hard to thaw or be drawn.

Our intimacy seems like a memory of a strange dream to me. A dream that probably would not translate to the real world, but this was never my desire. There was something unusual about our interaction. It is almost as if I had scripted it and left my fingerprints in the ink. I’m not concerned with your messy reality. I don’t want to see it and I confess I could not place you in mine. But I still want to see you in isolation. I am unconcerned with the context since time and your silence has made me philosophical; but when I first wrote the heat of your breast pressed against me was still vivid in my mind.

The Olds Don’t Get us:

At what time are your parents happy for the phone to ring? I have many friends overseas and am used to making and receiving calls at any time. Something that “proper” people (in the pejorative sense) find faintly horrifying.

Disappointed:

Your reaction to my phone call lacked dignity and has stung me. You seemed above such trivialities. It saddens me to have misjudged you.

The Old Shagger:

A man feels that whish is soft, warm and yielding in the arms must also be in other circumstances. But like Maugham’s Miriam you are hard above the neck; voice salted and manner typical of your class when not trying to impress. Your response to my entirely well intentioned amusement was the understanding and empathy of the committed solipsist. You pulled a tiny petal off my world when I thought you were to add one but to all around is the meadow, where I shall again dance and skip and sing until some fool girl should brush my wing.

Shrien Dewani: Is The German Master The Story’s Male Prostitute?

SHRIEN Dewani: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at the murder of Anni Dewani in the news. Is the self-styled “German Master” the 39-year-old UK-based prostitute who alleges that Shrien Dewani paid him for sex? The Sun says it is.

Max Clifford, Mr Dewani’s media handler, who was most likely not there at the time of any alleged sex, says it’s not. Mr Dewani and his team state that the widow has ever had sex with a man. Mr Dewani says the male prostitute is mistaken.

The Sun reports that the German Master has been interviewed by Scotland Yard. His testimony is now with the Specialist Crime Directorate. They will hand it to South African police.

Rachel Riley’s Large Baps Get An Airing On Countdown

The Countdown conundrum is “LARGEBAPS”. The solution is… “GRASPABLE.” Fnar…

Richard Littlejohn Wants Jody McIntyre To Get Up And Walk

IF Jody McIntyre needed a voiceover to accompany the video of him being dragged from a wheelchair twice by the boys in black and blue, he now has the words of Richard Littlejohn, the tabloid world’s C-grade answer to Gene Hunt (the question being: who thinks the social improvements of the past 30 years have been a disappointment?).

1970s Man tells us that “if he’s looking for sympathy, he’s come to the wrong place”.

It is unlikely McIntyre, a cerebral palsy sufferer, is looking for sympathy from Littlejohn. It is unlikely he even considered the views of the Mail’s monocular man before he went to the demo and was accosted by the police. When McIntyre went on the BBC to talk with Ben Brown, he didn’t appear to be seeking sympathy, preferring to state his case and put his argument against a rise in student fees. But columnists are vain. And having inserted himself into the story, Littlejohn continues:

A man in a wheelchair is as entitled to demonstrate as anyone else. But he should have kept a safe distance.

Mcintyre [sic] put himself on offer and his brother pushed him into the front line. It’s not as if he didn’t know there was going to be trouble.

Julian Assange’s Bail House Is Vaughan Smith’s Suffolk Pile Ellingham Hall: Photos

JULIAN Assange sold out Wikileaks when he became a celebrity and let a bunch of grandstanding, rich posers buy him out of HMP Wandsworth and slide themselves into the story.

To finally stick the knife into the once great site that was Wikileaks, Julian Assange will be spending some time in the Georgian splendour of Ellingham Hall, Bungay, Suffolk, England. It’s the 650-acre the home of journalist and Frontline Club founding member Vaughan Smith.

Julian Assange Granted Bail But Loses Wikileaks To Rich Celebrities: Photos

JULIAN Assange, of Wikileaks, has been granted bail. Now that he is famous, the donors putting up £200,00 surety for his bail are other famous people: Bianca Jagger, Jemima Khan, John Pilger and Ken Loach, are likely candidates who all arrived to show their support. The famous like to support their own.

Then Michael  Moore went one better and like a desktop officer from the new war instructed one and all to mass outside Westminster Court. He can’t make it but you can:

“If you’re reading this in London, please go support Julian Assange and WikiLeaks at a demonstration at 1 PM today, Tuesday the 14th, in front of the Westminster court.”

Julian Assange: When Sex By Surprise Is Whatever You Want It To Be

JULIAN Assange is in jail suspected of rape.  Depending on your politics, you will either think Assange’s incarceration has something to do with Wikileaks’s leaking of US cables, or are you on the side of the women who claim he assaulted them? Perhaps you just like a good story?

Fact plays second fiddle to the media narrative. CNN has helped this along by conducting a poll of 2,000 Britons. We now know that 44 percent of us think the tape allegations are just means of getting Assange to the United States. Another 44 percent believe Britain should extradite Assange to Sweden to face questioning.

Will Assange be denied bail? Readers may care to note that Shrien Dewani, another big media thread, has been granted bail for his alleged role in the murder of a Swedish national in south Africa. If bail is not forthcoming, Operation Payback will hit the web. One site thought to be in the line of fire by the Anonymous campaign is HMRC.

Alina Kabaeva Does Vogue: Putin’s Babe Photos

COP a load of Alina Kabayeva, aka Alina Kabaeva, on the cover of Vogue. Alina is not another new Anna Chapman. Alina is the saucy Russian who won Olympic gold rhythmic gymnasts in Athens 2000, gained a seat in the Duma and – maybe, just maybe – shagged Vladimir Putin, singer, sportsman and lover.

Not that Putin has been Putin it about (geddit?). In 2008, he denied an affair. He did this while in the company of – get this – Silvio Berlusconi, and offered the syrupy line that Russian babes are…

“..the most talented and beautiful [although] If anyone can compete, it may be only Italian women.”

The X Factor 2010 Was A Fix: Full Voting Results By Week

THE X Factor scooped 15,448,019 votes. And you wasted your money. The thing was rigged. Yep, who knew that a TV show could be scripted and manipulated to come up with the most entertaining outcome? Matt Cardle came top every week but one. Mary Byrne won the first week’s vote – but she was booted off the show in the semi-finals, despite having gained more votes than Cher Lloyd.

Usually, the finalists are decided by the public vote. But this season the judges thought a sing-off was best. So, Cher went through. Although no-one thought to tell panicky presenter Dermot O’Leary who said that the public vote would be the sole barometer of success and failure.

Man Castrates Teenage Daughter’s Middle-Aged Lover

IN Bielefeld, Germany, Helmut Seifert, 47, has castrated his 17-year-old daughter’s 57-year-old lover, one Phillip Genscher. Ageism just got nasty.

Helmut – and more nominative determinism, eh, readers – used a bread knife to remove the lover’s testicles. (Now known as sweetbread knife.) He later tells the police:

“I received a phone call anonymously that my daughter was involved with a guy 40 years older than her. You said you couldn’t stop him – so I did. I saw it as my duty as a father.”
