Always showing me his latest aquisitions. He's always talking about ex soviet tubes, too. He's got them in his radio equipment, might be another factor for deman, too.

(as defined in Sweden aspdotnetdev wrote: Officials are publicly stating they want Assange killed I have heard some people shoot their mouth off, too. However, if Assange is assassinated by the U.S., it will be done at the express order of Obama. And I would imagine that if that is the plan, they would be encouraging London and Stockholm to let him go. It would be far easier to take him out once he is not in custody, and, unless he wants to live in pretty primitive conditions, there aren't too many places for him to hide. If a private citizen takes him out it is probably more likely going to be someone from a 3rd world country who has been revealed as in the employ of the U.S. by Assange. I'm not sure he realizes that he's made many more enemies in the rest of the world than in Europe. It's probably a good thing that Brown isn't still P.M. or he might have ordered MI5 to blow the jerk away for revealing the truth about Lockerbie. aspdotnetdev wrote: I believe in the majority of what Assange is doing As I think I said, I think he is a jackass, but if we make that a capital crime, we will solve the population problem. So I wouldn't want to see him killed even though I think he's acting immorally. aspdotnetdev wrote: I encourage you to speak your mind. I've never needed any encouragement.

Le Gauchiste wrote: On a side note Yes, its been unusual foir a few years now. The fact no one predicted this probably means no on understands it. That the arctic and west canada are warm, while the eastern US and europe are cold. The only guy who comes close is Corbyn but he is a UK only forcaster. What this all means is just how many unkowns there are and how little we really understand it all. Thats why I ridicule the simplistic post fact theory of NASAs that this thread is about.
