The Julian Assange False Rape File

by Ferdinand Bardamu

Julian Assange

On December 7, 2010, Wikileaks founder Julian Assange was arrested in London, at the behest of the Swedish government, on charges of molestation and rape. These charges stem back to a series of sexual encounters he had with two women in August when he visited Stockholm for a press conference. The women Assange allegedly assaulted, radical feminist Anna Ardin (aka Anna Bernardin) and groupie Sofia Wilén, in fact fabricated the charges in an attempt to get revenge against him.

Anna Ardin

Julian Assange slept with Ardin and Wilén within a day of each other, not knowing that they were friends. During the party she threw for Assange, Ardin even went so far as to Tweet that she was hanging out with “the world’s coolest smartest people, it’s amazing!” – which she later deleted from her Twitter feed. In the weeks preceding their meeting, Wilén had become obsessed with Assange and deliberately attended the press conference to force herself on him. When they both realized that he had played them like musical instruments, Ardin suggested that she and Wilén go to the police to “seek advice,” where they falsely claimed he had raped them. They also colluded to break the story to the Swedish tabloid Expressen to maximize the damage to Assange’s reputation.

Sofia Wilén

Despite the feminist line that “women don’t lie about rape,” high-profile stories such as the Duke lacrosse case and the Kobe Bryant case prove that not only DO a substantial number of women lie about being raped, no one takes these cases seriously. Men who are accused of rape are mercilessly abused by both the legal system and the media, and women who lie about rape are never punished despite the destruction they wreak. The fact that Anna Ardin and Sofia Wilén’s petty attempt to avenge themselves against Assange has been taken seriously not just by the Swedish authorities, but by Interpol and the international mainstream media, is proof that feminism is out of control in not only Sweden but the West at large.

These two women must be exposed for the vindictive liars that they are, and potentially prosecuted for trying to destroy an innocent man’s life. The role of feminists in allowing these two to commit this heinous act must also be exposed, and feminism as an ideology discredited.

People keep talking about how those women fabricated the rape charges. You don’t have to fabricate rape charges. Fabricating rape charges would involve making up evidence. Since no evidence is needed nowdays for rape charge to stick……then no fabrication is needed……just an accusation….no matter how silly. Often……all evidence that can prove innocence is disallowed by the court. Lie detectore tests can not be forced onto the accuser. But the accused can be forced to take one…….but only if he fails the test will it be considered a reliable way of determining the truth. If he passes….it will be deemed inconclusive and no addmissable as evidence.

The rape laws in western countries are getting more and more rediculous. The average person does not know how rediculous they are until a loved on…..or them…..are accused. It’s got to the point where if your wife…..who also happens to be a prostitue and gangbang party goer…..tells you to stop half way through sex……that is rape…..just because she says it is. The domestic voilence laws are just as rediculous….so are divorce laws and custody access laws. It’s time people who call themselves feminists were considered in the same light as Nazis. The entire feminist legal system and theory is built on a pack of lies. Men who are in power and are supporting feminism need to be attacked by any means and removed from their positions. I’m being very kind here……you all know what needs to be done to them.

Give us that bitches new place in Palestine, we will accuse her of having an affair and she will be charged under Sharia law, that would be epic lulz. That will teach her not to go around falsely accusing people for sh!t they didn’t do.

It upsets me to see otherwise intelligent men laying the blame on feminism. I am a woman, I am a wikileaks supporter, and I am an Assange supporter. I am also a feminist. I believe that these charges have been fabricated, that the women were cajoled into making statements they otherwise would not have made. Think of everything feminism has done for men, as well as for women. In fact, the word ‘feminism’ has long been a misnomer. Equality, after all, takes two.

Of course some women lie about rape, and sensible feminists agree that it’s a terrible thing to do, for two reasons: firstly, because of the damage it wreaks on the lives of the accused; secondly, it belittles the victims of true rape and diminishes their chances of justice.

Discrediting feminism as an ideology? Such an aim displays nothing but an ignorance of what feminism is and what it has achieved, not only for women but for men also. Perhaps you should consider reading a little and you might find that your views are altered somewhat. It’s quite clear that you haven’t the first clue what you’re talking about.

For those who think that Mr. Assange is the victim of feminism, you are wrong. He is in the sights of the CIA and the American Government who are out to shut him up and they are using Sweden and the two women in an attempt to have him extradited to the USA so that he can be charged with crimes worthy of the death penalty.

This is what a gynotheorist has to say about feminism:

http://gynotheory.blogspot.com/

“The weakness of men is the façade of strength: the strength of women is the façade of weakness” – Warren Farrell

Among the worst mistakes that freedom-loving people can make is to stereotype feminists as a small, motley crew of angry lesbians who have long since ceased to be relevant. Take note: this stereotype helps them.

I must repeat myself: this stereotype helps them.
Let that sink in for a moment. Every time you have belittled feminists as a bunch of cranky old hags that nobody takes seriously, you have helped to obscure their program and indeed, their very existence as a form of organized power. Belittle them, you must – but do so in a way which exposes, not obscures! For feminism is far from being a relic of the past. The feminist movement is taken very seriously indeed by those with the power to enforce its core aims:

(1) The expropriation of resources from men to women.
(2) The punishment of men.
(3) To increase (1) and (2) in terms of scope and intensity indefinitely.

Obscurity assists the realization of these goals by creating doubt amongst potential opponents. The misidentification of feminism as a cultural artifact which no longer holds sway over the operations of government and society is a product of feminism’s own metamorphosis. Note that the essence, or substance of feminism has not changed over the years, only its form, or packaging. The change of packaging has proved so effective that some now deny that the product still exists.

Au contraire. As much as the times changed with feminism, feminism has changed with the times. In the transformation of feminism from a movement opposed to government and society at large, into a movement which controls the state and public opinion – and uses this position to persecute the new enemies of the state – its strategies underwent a certain cultivation. Today, feminists no longer need to throw temper tantrums to get their way, because while they once raged against the machine, they now control it. This is the truly profound shift in Western societies since the height of consciousness about feminism in the middle of last century; it is not that feminists have become less relevant, but more.

When feminists were outside the tent, causing offense was one of their prime weapons – poorly disguised as edgy boundary-pushing. Who remembers this lovely piece of propagandistic hate, published in the 1970s?

The above is precisely the kind of thing that feminists today like to pretend never happened. Now that feminists are inside the tent, they are forced to defend their gains; in the 1970s, when the above picture was produced, they attacked from the outside, and sought to tear down official morality rather than (as they do now) define and dictate it.

And how better to maintain control than by punishing those who attack, or who might attack, the new status quo? We are of course referring to men, who stand to lose the most from the three core aims of the feminist project as listed above. Today, feminists believe that women have the inalienable right to not feel offended, and they do not hesitate to employ state violence to enforce this. Prosecuting those (men) who cause offense is their new weapon, one which has replaced the old (causing offense). Of course, persecuting people merely for being offensive is rather less charitable than men were to feminists before feminists took over. But, as Gynocentrism Theory tells us, men were only charitable to offensive women in the early days of feminism because women already exercised substantial control.
Do feminists believe that they are doing right? The answer is an unequivocal yes for most of them – they truly do believe that they are a righteous people, and even when they become cognizant of doing wrong, they rationalize that they are also, simultaneously, doing right.

How could this be? Well, let me show you how it works, by tracing the anatomy of a victim ideology. Once a period of consciousness-raising has propagated the belief that the members of a group are – by their essential nature as members of the group – victims, the group shall pursue two objectives:

(1) To equalize with the designated ‘enemy’ group;
(2) To forge their own ‘victim identity’, separate from and unaccountable to the ‘enemy’ group.

You will notice that, while the first objective brings the ‘victim’ group closer to the ‘enemy’ group, in terms of status, expectations, autonomy, etc., the second widens the gulf between them. The first objective, we are told, will unite us in our common humanity, and bring about liberty for all, and other nice things like that. But as soon as we get close to this, there tends to be a drift towards proclamations of the importance of the second objective.

Nothing will ever be enough to satisfy the ‘victim’ group, because they view themselves as essentially and inherently the victims of the ‘enemy’ group, regardless of what may have changed in reality. A victim ideology is anti-contextual, and its followers – the self-designated ‘victims’ – shall never see themselves as anything but. Their victimhood is affirmed in advance, and the facts must be made to fit the story. In other words, they will spin any situation into one where they are most harshly treated.

This is why feminists like Hillary Clinton can get away with saying things like “women have always been the primary victims of war. Women lose their husbands, their fathers, their sons in combat”. Well, sure – losing family members to horrible deaths is so much worse than actually having to die those horrible deaths. That is, if your whole worldview is tainted by sexism and you reduce the status of men to Protecting/Providing Objects.

In Mrs Clinton’s quote, no humanity is ascribed to men whatsoever. The real problem is not that they are traumatized, mutilated and blown to pieces per se; it is that, because of their being subject to atrocities, men will not be able to fulfill their protecting/providing roles quite so effectively. It is, therefore, women who lose out, because men don’t actually matter except insofar as they can assist females.

This is precisely the kind of attitude which emerges out of a victim ideology. The entirety of existence, in all its wonderful complexity, is reduced to black-and-white primitivism: my people matter, your people don’t. Or, as we shall see, my people good, your people bad. Anything good for my people is good, no mind whether it is good or bad for your people.

This kind of thinking is known as Manichean Essentialism, and it is the metaphysical cornerstone for feminism as a whole. Decades of consciousness-raising have ensured that women are reflexively considered to have been wronged, whatever the facts. Whenever genuine examples of women being wronged cannot be found, compensatory privilege becomes the sanctioned goal. That is, women are treated more leniently in one regard because they are believed to be disadvantaged in unrelated regards, or just disadvantaged in general. One recent example of this from the United Kingdom is the order issued by Dame Laura Cox to judges that they must treat female criminals with greater leniency, a ruling which simultaneously reduced British men to second class status while green-lighting abusive women who might otherwise have been deterred.

There are some who go further than this. Baroness Corston, who explicitly identifies as a feminist, believes that women don’t really deserve to be punished at all when they commit crimes. Her 2007 Government report advocates that all women’s prisons should close, and that even the most violent and abusive female offenders should not be locked up. Indeed, they would no longer go to one of the country’s 15 women’s prisons, which would all close. Instead, killers such as Rose West, serving life for the murder of ten young women and girls, would be sent to “homely” local custody units. There they would be allowed to live as a “family unit” with between 20 and 30 other women prisoners, organising their own shopping, budgets and cooking. The units would also allow them to stay close to their families … All the women’s jails would shut within the next decade, and could instead be converted into prisons for men … The report claims: “Women and men are different. Equal treatment of men and women does not result in equal outcomes.”

The above is a classic example of Orwellian Newspeak. Anti-feminists of all stripes have been saying for decades that men and women are essentially different. Feminists have insisted that men and women are essentially the same, and we must therefore have equal treatment. But as soon as equality works retrograde to the goal of female empowerment, it is dropped like a hot potato, and feminists twist themselves around in incredible semantic gymnastics to justify the sudden turnabout.

Women also (sic) never be sent to jail to “teach them a lesson”.

Of course they shouldn’t. Women shouldn’t have to actually learn how to abide by the law, much less how to be functioning members of civilization. They should be allowed to run wild and free, abusing and destroying anything they please with absolute license. They shouldn’t even expect a slap on the wrist for their misbehavior – that would be domestic violence, don’t you know?

But if feminism truly was about equality, shouldn’t feminists be pushing for new laws to criminalize more women, rather than their anti-egalitarian approach of imprisoning less women and more men? Or does equality only matter when it is women who are deemed unequal? (In and of itself, this would imply strongly that women are a privileged class like no other.)

The female incarceration rate is just one-eighth that of men in the United States (Wikipedia, accessed 10th October 2010), while women account for only 5.7% of inmates in Great Britain (accessed 10th October 2010). Surely, if equality was the goal, we would be relaxing the punitive, feminist-inspired laws against men, and seeking to punish more women instead. I can think of nowhere in modern society that is more male-dominated or unrepresentative than the penal system – something which, in the interests of sexual equality, needs to change.
But no – flatly contrary to the principles of neutral, impartial justice, feminists deem it a good thing for its own sake to lock up fewer women! It is as though women who are guilty of crimes aren’t really guilty – and are therefore victims of whatever is done to them as punishment. It is a popular notion that women are disadvantaged – generally, inherently, essentially, within the very fiber of their being – and so must be disadvantaged in every particular area of life; thus, anything done to assist them must be a reduction of unfair disadvantage. Any rationally-minded person can see how absurd this all is, and I include leading feminists in this, as they are shrewd but not stupid. Just deserts, deterrence, fair treatment, civilization itself be damned; this is Gynocentrism in action.

To recap, victim ideologies such as feminism seek to:
(1) Equalize with the ‘enemy’ group;
(2) Forge their own ‘victim identity’, separate from and unaccountable to the ‘enemy’ group.

That these two objectives are in contradiction is not just a logical flaw; it’s part of a strategy which allows the ‘victim’ group to shift its stance as circumstances require. Objective (1) might be consistently pursued for a little while. But if the movement comes under scrutiny for disadvantaging the ‘enemy’ group, the ‘victims’ can just switch to objective (2) and emphasize the importance of their own uniqueness in ways for which equality does not suffice. Or, as feminist Germaine Greer puts it:

In 1970 the movement was called ‘Women’s Liberation’ or, contemptously (sic), ‘Women’s Lib’. When the name ‘Libbers’ was dropped for ‘Feminists’ we were all relieved. What none of us noticed was that the ideal of liberation was fading out with the word. We were settling for equality. Liberation struggles are not about assimilation but about asserting difference, endowing that difference with dignity and prestige, and insisting on it as a condition of self-definition and self-determination. … the visionary feminists of the late sixties and early seventies knew that women could never find freedom by agreeing to live the lives of unfree men.

Once equal status has been reached, the rhetoric of equality can be discarded, because who wants to be only equal to a man anyway? Here, in black and white, is a statement of female supremacy.

Same as it ever was.

If equality had ever been the end goal, then men’s disadvantages would have been addressed seriously, and not exacerbated while men themselves were goaded. To this day, the only time a feminist bothers herself with an issue of male disadvantage is when it benefits women to point it out – as in the case of parental leave. Enforced equal paternity and maternity leave rules out any disincentive that employers have to hire women. A feminist will set aside her ‘all fathers are rapists and abusers’ shtick, just long enough to insist that men should have equal rights to parenting – but this is typically presented as a demand that men shoulder the burdens of raising children so that women may be empowered in the workplace. Even when injustices against them are being redressed, men are tools for female betterment.

Same as it ever was.

Another example is male rape in prisons. This is occasionally highlighted by feminists, but only because men can be shown to be the oppressors, allowing them to attack maleness itself. Feminists pick up the torch once the rapist has done his part; they complete the rape victim’s sexual humiliation by destroying his self-identity, poisoning his mind with aspersions that maleness itself is to blame for his victimization; and so a fundamental, immutable part of himself was the cause of his rape. They force upon him the identity of rapist along with rape victim, their vilification of ‘toxic masculinity’ serving to assure him that he shares the abusive characteristics of his abuser. On the other hand, the high level of female culpability in child abuse, both sexual and non-sexual, is ignored or denied.

This is why our universally applicable definition of feminism could not have included any reference to ‘equality’ – it’s not a reasonable statement to make if we’re using analytical tools more incisive than Manichean Essentialism. The universal definition remains, and no ground can possibly be ceded: feminism is the project for increasing the power of women.

Power in what regard? Power to do what? Such questions inevitably arise. The answer, if you’ve been following closely, is obvious – whatever they please, no matter who else is harmed. Silence is not consent, but it is complicity, when you have the power to draw attention towards abuse and the resources towards stopping it, yet you fail to do so on the grounds that the abusers have genitals that resemble your own.

And that’s what it comes down to, folks – we are dealing with primitives in pantsuits.

Dear Sir-

Thank you very much for this. I am a woman. I am a Wikileaks support. I am an Assange supporter.

I am also a survivor of sexual assault, committed by a woman.

The Assange case has pissed me off to no end, and not for the reasons most people would think it would. I absolutely believe Mr. Assange is innocent, and it disgusts me that there are people out there who would take the very real trauma of many people, male and female, and use it for their own corrupt ends. It pisses me off that there are people out there who believe that every single man alive is a potential rapist and that women never assault anyone. If that’s the case then what happened to me must be a glitch in the Matrix or something.

I was sixteen years old when I was assaulted, and it left me terrified and traumatized. I knew my attacker quite well, too. But I never made a big deal out of how they should round her up and lock her away. You know why? Because I wasn’t dead. I wasn’t seriously, mortally wounded. No one important to me was dead. And I knew that no one would believe me. A woman sexually assaulting another woman? HA. That never happens, they’d tell me, you’re crazy. It left me quite frightened and suspicious of most other women for many years.

Stories like this one enrage and disgust me. There are people out there who have legitimately suffered from an assault and will never get justice for it. And then there are people out there who take the very real trauma of millions of people, both male and female, and twist it for the own corrupt ends, destroying the lives of innocent people in the process. Mr. Assange has my full support- I do not wish to see his life ruined because of the vindictive acts of reprehensible people.

I hope you do not mind if I email the link to this article to some of my friends? I want to share this information. Thank you.

I didn’t read the material on assange’s rape case. Couldn’t care less. The son-of-a-bitch needs to be put out of our misery post haste. I only hope the CIA will send a hit team to put two in his head the easy way. If the sack of shyt were standing in front of me I’d break his euro-dweeb neck or disembowel him and choke him with his own entrails. Can’t wait to hear the news report that he woke up dead one day or that he has “mysteriously disappeared.”

I support feminism, because feminism means gender equality. I am proud I shared this World with people like Simone de Beauvoir, Virginia Woolf, Emmeline Pankhurst etc However, this is not feminism – this is lying in order to discredit the brave freedom fighter – man who stood for transparency. There is no misandry in this case, just as the cat abuse allegations have nothing to do with the truth. These women didn’t fabricate their own stories, their stories were at least partially fabricated by the Swedish Government under pressure of the US Government. I don’t care for Ardin’s personal views about feminism – this story is NOT true, this is not rape. While these stories where it is obvious there was no rape are discussed at the international level, real rape cases which happen all the time in Sweden (read Michael Moore’s 16 December article on this) are ignored and not taken seriously.

TRUTH WILL OUT!
