Even if there was rape, which is not proven, it happened in Sweden instead of USA. Why is USA trying to get him extradited to USA?
This brings to my mind the suspicuous dating site "approved by UN" that was used to attack Assange and the UN declaration that defended Assange:
I found this piece in the paper. Which one of these is true?:
The literature suggests that Russian trolls primarily use mobile apps for Twitter posts, and thus auto-correct and word suggestion on smartphones disguise any poor English skills to an extent.
...
They also find that Russian trolls âoeâ¦adopt different identities over time, i.e., they âoeresetâ their profile by deleting their previous tweets and changing their profile name/informationâ (Zannettou et al., 2018, p. 1) and prefer the Twitter web client over the mobile client.
BTW, there is some evidence that propofol reduces sleep debt, unlike normal anesthesia:
https://www.uchicagomedicine.o...
"We concluded that the need to sleep was not accumulating inside rats that received propofol and therefore either propofol was preventing their "sleep debt" from building up or propofol was, like sleep, helping rats to discharge it."
"So we then allowed rats to sleep naturally or gave them a period of sedation with propofol and looked to see how they recover. What we found is that recovery in rats given propofol occurred as quickly as recovery in rats allowed to sleep normally. We concluded that, at least in rats, subjects can discharge their sleep debt under propofol sedation to the same degree as they are able to do it using naturally occurring sleep."
Some doctors may also be more skilled to avoid pain. I think usually outside USA colonoscopies are done without any anesthesia. I don't think it was that bad, at least compared to the drinking several liters liquid which did not taste that great or compared to gastroscopy.
I saw also some TV reported in USA getting colonoscopy without anesthesia for TV program. He didn't seem to be in any great pain either.
It seems that in USA there is often/typically some kind of anesthesia with colonoscopies, but outside USA it is much less common, unless the patient has some kind of phobia or very painful experiences in previous examinations. I have had once colonoscopy and I don't think it was that hard to handle, expect drinking large amount of not that great tasting medicine to empty the bowel which took some effort. I have also had twice gastroscopy and it was much more unpleasant than colonoscopy, even though gastroscopy was not too horrible either. I have heard that if the doctor doing colonoscopy or gastroscopy is not talented in using the instrument, there is higher likelihood of feeling some pain or at least feeling uncomfortable.
I live in Finland which is part of EU. I haven't even heard about this Google Shopping before. Is this feature shown only in some countries?
I tried disabling ad blocker and still couldn't get anything like that to appear. I even googled for "Google Shopping" and while the main page of it loads, it doesn't show any products when I try to click some of the categories or when I try to search products.
It seems that Hillarys campaing is usign extremely dirty tricks. Not just paying to cause violence on Trumps rallies, bussing people to vote several times, but also this pedophilia/Russian 1 million dollars smear against Assange:
I recommend you to study this even more closely, but here are some of the completely unbelievable things in this smear attempt against Assange:
"Their yellowpages site says they have been in business 5 years. http://www.yellowpages.com/hou...
Ok so how many times has this link been shared on reddit? I googled the URL specific to this site, and it's only come up three times. All within the last 24 hours."
"This shady dating site claims to be the "ONLY Dating Site to ever partner with the UN Initiative" (Now that's fucking odd...) AND THEY JUST GOT KICKED OUT OF THE UN FIVE DAYS AGO?!?!"
"Todd Hammonds LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/to... (It's fucking nothing) But it does say he lives in SF. I'm in the Bay Area also, I could pay a visit to offices if we can actually find any legitimate offices...
Their Dating Site Eventbrite page. Only one event for the fastest growing dating website that has married 3,000 people since 2011???
Here is the LinkedIn of "Kate Hogan," this is the person who wrote the "Press Release" about ToddAndClare accusing Assange of sexual misconduct. https://www.linkedin.com/in/ka...
Of course she's got only 1 connection, and no other real information anywhere. Also, the phone number listed in the press release rings twice and then immediately disconnects. But it doesn't give a recording, it just says "call failed" I've never really experienced that. Anyway you'd think that someone who just put out a press release regarding the UN and Assange would have a working phone!

"The months where there are 100s of profiles created, they are all uploaded and processed on the same day. In August hundreds of accounts are added on the 4th and then none for the rest of the month.
Most of the accounts are seemingly fake and created by a script, there is a very clear clustering of fake names used by the script. In July my limited data set shows 32 users created called Dorothy and 10 users created called Edith, in August there are no new users added by those names but equally high numbers of other random names.
The website is seemingly full of fake members despite the backstory that it's all handpicked skype verified women. The backstory is a lie, it's a website with no members."
Look even more closely about the details of those accusations, it is incredible how poorly made the smear attempt against Asssange really is. For example, the dating site seems to be more or less fake site, which some strange UN connection, with conflicting, unbelievable and missing information etc.
Don't fall for that very crudely made smearing attempt of Assange. It is incredible that they are trying to smear with this as it doesn't stand up under close scrutiny. Check for yourself about some of the details and how this is connected to Hillary Clinton:
GUYS. THE SHILLS ARE UP TO SOMETHING WITH ASSANGE! NOT A DRILL. PLEASE LOOK! FRAMING IN PROGRESS!

If I were a US citizen, there I would certainly vote for Trump. I usually like Democratic Party party more than Republican party, but in this cause the choice is easy. Only Trump seems to understand what kind of existential threat Muslim immigration is and as an European and a gay, I am terrified about this mass Muslim immigration to Europe. If this is allowed to continue, Muslims will become majority with surprisingly short time period, especially when you take into account family refugee family reunification and much higher birthrates compared to non-Muslims. This will cause Europe to became another Muslim area with terrorism, gays and women losing human rights, violence between religious groups, all the typical social problems in Muslim countries etc. You don't fix the problems of Muslim countries by spreading their problems to the rest of the world.
And having been following The_Donald on reddit and many other sources, I am shocked how dirty play the Democratic party and mainstream media has had against Trump. Of course, Trump is not a perfect person, but I cannot remember ever being as excited about presidential candidate. And although Hillary has some some good sides in her, I am also terrified about her. She doesn't seem to understand the long term threat of Islam and as a warmonger, she might start a nuclear war with Russia far too easily, just like Jill Stein of the Green party recently said.
He's not as bad as many Republicans on this particular topic, no, but he's hardly pro-gay.
He is not as enlighted on this issue as I wish he was, but I can with those issues. And I think there is some clear pro-gay elements as well. He has supported AIDS charities in 80s and 90s, seems to have gay friends and he has supported amending the 1964 Civil Rights Act to "include a ban of discrimination based on sexual orientation.".
And if I am not mistaken, Hillary is not completely spotless on gay issues either:
It is true that there is more things in your life than just your sexual orientation. Being gay (or straight) is just a part of yourself. You are much more than just your sexual orientation. We all have different opinions about different things, different personalities, different experiences, different interest, different hobbies, different jobs, different families, different diseases, different places we live etc. Sexual orientation does not dictate these things and is often not even involved at all with many of these things.
And when you vote for a candidate, it is almost guaranteed that you are not able to find a candidate that agrees with you on every issue. With the current political system you have to make compromise and try to choose a candidate that has a chance to be elected and is closest to your opinions.
As a Finn I am not able to vote for Trump, but I would vote for him if I could and if the other choices were the current ones. And I am a gay, but not self loathing in any way. I just wish that we here would have similar politicians that understand that uncontrolled Muslim immigration at this rate cannot continue or it is going to destroy Europe. As a gay I am very afraid for the future of next generations of gays if we let Islam to take over of Europe. And even though it won't happen immediately, it will happen in a frighteningly short time period, if this mass immigration from Muslim countries is not stopped.
And before somebody starts to lecture that not all Muslims want to kill gays, I recommend they to check the human rights situation of gays in Muslim countries and the opinion polls done among Muslims both in Muslim countries and in western countries as well. Practically all Muslim countries are more or less black holes for human rights and not just for gays. My best friend, with whom I have lived several years, happens to be a gay from Muslim background and trough him I have much more detailed than many naive leftist who seem to think that we have resources to save the whole world and just being nice to other we will be rewarded with nice behavior towards us. They don't understand that both Islam and overbreeding are the main reasons why these countries they are coming from, are such poor and terrible places. And if we let these people and they continue to insist to practice backwards religion, cousing marriages with mental retardiation and to overbreed, we have not saved their own countries, but we are going to cause the same kind of problems to appear here as well and destroy our own country as well.
And it is not just the gay rights or the rights of women that are at risk. Even with the current immigration levels there is starting to be more and more often Islamic terror attacks in Europe (of course, in many Muslim countries there is even much more terrorism). Sharia patrols are starting to attack people if they drink alcohol, have dog, seem to be gay etc. In many areas firemen, ambulances etc are attacked and they don't go there at least without police escort and even police tries to avoid these areas that seem to be spreading.
And it is not just human rights and security that are threatened. For example, there will be even much more difficult housing crisis, we will run out of money to have social security anymore. On average humanitarian migrant will cost about 500000-1000000 euros during their lifetime and employment levels are often extremely low (partly because of socil security, partly because they tend to have extremely low education or are often even illiterate, even though local job markets tend to require education, speaking local languages etc). Last year there were much more than million asylum seekers.
Of course Trump is not perfect. He uses ruder language than I would in many things. But he seems to be one of the few who understands that uncontrolled immigration is going to destroy Europe if it is let to continue for much longer. And that issue is much more important than having gay marriage accepted or not. What good does gay marriage do, if within couple generations there will be sharia law which totally prohibits homosexuality or if there are routinely violent attacks towards gays.
Trying to be happy is like trying to build a machine for which the only specification is that it should run noiselessly.
