Interpol Issues ‘Red Notice’ for Arrest of WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange

The international police organization Interpol has issued a Red Notice for the arrest of WikiLeaks’ founder Julian Assange, in connection with a sex crime investigation in Sweden.

A Red Notice is kind of international wanted poster seeking the provisional arrest of a fugitive, with an eye towards extradition to the nation that issued the underlying arrest warrant. Interpol transmits the notices to its 188 member countries, including Britain, where Assange is believed to be located. Interpol has no authority to compel a subject’s arrest. It issued 5,020 Red Notice last year for a variety of crimes.

A terse extract of Assange’s notice appeared on Interpol’s website Tuesday, without a photograph, reporting that the 39-year-old Australian is wanted for “sex crimes” by the International Public Prosecution Office in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Next may be a sternly worded resolution from the UN Security Council. Then maybe the US AG might even say something like “He’s a bad guy.”

According to what they said on FOX a little while ago, Sweden has very liberal laws concerning bail. Even if he’s arrested and extradited to Sweden, he could post bail and leave the country again.

So this isn’t a way to keep him in jail. This is more of a way to find out where he is.

Today’s treasonous bastards will kill tens of millions of people all in the name of stopping the “evil America”. These leftist traitors are a blight upon the Earth. As long as we continue to treat them like human beings, they will continue to destroy the world.

You might want to say that to the right-wing also. Go check out some of the pro Tea Party forums and the message boards that Ron Paul supporters frequent. They like this Assange guy because they say he’s exposing corruption of the government.

Also Judge Andrew Nepolitano on FOX today was defending WikiLeaks and bashing the government for lying.

Let the Russians get him or let the Chinese get him, but do not let the one-worlders get him. The whole thought of “International Law” makes me sick and I reject any enforcement by such a body.

There it is. Most people don’t want to hear the truth.

INTERPOL? The same outfit that warns me about copying VHS tapes? And the UN to boot. ASSange has NOTHING to worry about, except how he will become a millionaire writing about the “evils” of the West as he lives in ungodly luxury in Ecuador.

INTERPOL, the same organization once headed by Reinhard Heydrich.
