Assange and the Conspiracy theory

Are you serious!?
It is starting to get on my nerves.
Educated, intelligent people, posting pro-Assange pictures and messages on FB.

Are you serious?!

Do you even know what this is about?

Does any of the South American governments know what this is about (they backed him the other day, condemning the UK)?

Do they know that this has NOTHING to do with the states?
That is being asked by the Swedish penal entity to show up for hearings.
He is not guilty, he is a suspect.
As with any suspect, you need to hear them.

Is it true, is it false. Is it a trap.

It doesn't matter.

That people question the Swedish penal system, and government as a whole is insulting and ridiculous.

In comparison to you (South America and Ecuador), Sweden is not corrupt.
Just because you started Wikileaks - and released documents that were not yours, confidental, to people who are FAR from educated enough to understand them, or just doesn't understand the situations (Do I go through your private emails and documents, then tattletale on you to the people you mentioned?) - does not mean you are to be an exception to all the 'normal' people, you need to show up.

I recently read to debate articles in two different Swedish newspapers

http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/kolumnister/oisincantwell/article15275385.ab
and
http://bloggar.expressen.se/thomasmattsson/

In the first one gives you 8 myths about the Assange case

1.The charges of Sex crime is really just a way to quiet Wikileaks. 
"...To say that the Swedish police are trying to crush Wikileaks is the same as to say that their American collegues motives to investigate D. Strauss-Kahn were to close the International Monetary Fund (IMF)".

2.Sweden will hand him over to the US.
"Washington has not made such request...and a handing over is not possible without the approval of London". And considering what the Wikileaks told Sweden about the US, I doubt we will let them ride in one horses and take him over there, to face a death penalty (what certain people think). #ridiculous

3. He will be executed.
"Sweden do not hand over people who face the death penalty"

4.Sweden has politically influenced, and corrupt courts.
Transparency International place us (SWE) 3/142, while Ecuador placed 130/142.

5.Reinfelt has interfered in the process (prime minister)
He has only commented on the ridiculous accusations made by un-educated idiots (my words of course, not his)

6. In Sweden you are convicted for rape if the condom breaks.
No, but if the person is sleeping or is unconscious yes, as in other countries.

7.The prosecutor took the case after being pressured.
"no" - just not true

8. Assange was fooled into a sex trap.
the author says it is not likely - but I guess that is for everyone to decide. But it doesn't matter because of above mentioned points.

The Second article mentions that Assanges' previous support among any meaningful opinion leaders is now gone, it also explains our legal system and goes over some of the nonsense the pro-assange side is spreading.

I pisses me off.

I mean, come one - not EVERYTHING is a conspiracy theory.
