THE USEFUL IDIOTS OF THE LEFT

You will no doubt recognize this clown and hero of the left.

He has viloaled his bail here and run to an embassy requesting political asylum. Ha.

I HATE him but what I like about this is, the useful idiots of the left who will lose money they put up on his behalf, include that grossly fat and miserable lying sack to poo in human form, Michael Moore. Ha! Again.

The useful idiots who lionised the amoral and cowardly founder of WikiLeaks have ended up looking utter twits
By STEPHEN GLOVER

The story of Julian Assange would be hilarious if he had not caused so much damage. Hilarious because the founder of WikiLeaks was once feted by the Left as a hero and champion of free speech who had exposed the manifest evils of the United States.

Now, as Mr Assange huddles in diplomatic sanctuary in the embassy of Ecuador in London, it is difficult to find anyone with a good word to say for him. The man with the looks of a James Bond villain has alienated most of his former friends, disappointed many admirers and behaved in a thoroughly discreditable way.

It would be silly to deny that some of these revelations threw a fascinating light on previously dark dealings. The trouble was that, despite co-operating with The Guardian, The New York Times and other respectable publications, Mr Assange believed everything should be published, and to hell with the consequences.

One obvious example concerned the newspapers’ publication of the names, villages, relatives’ identities and precise GPS locations of Afghans who had co-operated with Nato troops. WikiLeaks also revealed the whereabouts of American tactical nuclear weapons, as well as the location of key U.S. facilities including pipelines and communication hubs.

Owing no allegiance to any country or its interests, Mr Assange wanted everything in the public domain, and sometimes bullied the newspapers with which he was collaborating into publishing information that they would have been wise not to.

Nor did it ever occur to Mr Assange, or the newspapers that published his stolen material, that states, not unreasonably, wish to keep secret some of the communications between them. There seems little doubt that as a result of the WikiLeaks disclosures, foreign diplomats will be less forthcoming to their U.S. counterparts in future.

Further insights into his true character have been provided by his response to an international arrest warrant issued by the Swedish authorities over allegations of sexual assault. He is accused of raping one woman and sexually molesting and coercing another in August 2010.

Of course, we can have no idea whether or not he is guilty. It is his attempts to resist extradition to Sweden that should raise doubts. The precepts of justice are upheld in that country as much as almost anywhere one can think of. What does he fear from a fair trial in a properly constituted court?

Without producing any evidence, he has argued in British courts that the Swedes might spirit him away to the United States to face trial for treason. It was the recent decision by the Supreme Court that he should be extradited to Sweden to face charges that precipitated his risible flight to the Ecuadorean embassy in Knightsbridge.

What an impressive man this is! He thinks he is above the law. He won’t try to clear his name in Sweden, so instead goes running to the embassy of a country which, by the by, has an appalling human rights record — much worse than that of the United States.

This does not deter Ecuador’s President Rafael Correa from regularly throwing mud pies at Washington.

The truth is that Mr Assange was treated as a hero by many on the Left because he had information damaging to the Great Satan, the United States. Those who adulated this dreadful man ignored his obvious moral failings until many of them could not put up with him any longer.

How fitting that he should have chosen the embassy of anti-American Ecuador in which to cower. I expect they will turf him out as soon as decently possible, whereupon he should be put on a plane to Sweden. It is preposterous to represent him as a political prisoner.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
