Ya they asked you just like every business man ask you to buy from him . But you had the choice . Besides the US fighters are the best in the world when it comes to mix roles . The amount they earn from India is a fraction compared whit that they earn from the US or EU . Just think about how much a US click is worth compared whit that a indian click is worth . France - Eurofighter (the best interceptor but horrid attacker) , Tornado - outdated . Russia - Would never sell their a plane that is comparable in performance whit what the US is offering . Their Raptor counterpart is still under development . Ya the US gov tends to stay out of what corporations are doing . It's not secret that every major corporation has a closet filled to the brim whit skeletons , even the - do no evil - Google has a lot of things bottled in . I know the facts , to me Wikileaks is overrated and they are doing more harm then good . In the early years of this millenia it was common practice to hack into a NASA server and set up a mIRC service there , hacking the Pentagon servers was a trial by fire and hacking the FBI was a master degree . The info hacked back then never got out because people understood the fact that secret info should remain secret and that publishing those files wouldn't be anything extraordinary . This stopped only when hacking was finally classified as a crime . To me the wikileaks crew is a embarrassment to true hackers world wide . They are more similar to the Russian credit card crackers then to hackers . Under the badge of Greater Justice they hide and only do actions that serve themselves . Other then the media blitz and damaging the US military and diplomacy they have taken no impact on the modern world .
Helvetti has singlehandedly lowered my opinion of India. This is quite impressive considering all the business I do in India and how many fine upstanding Indians I enjoy as friends. Helvetti, as a representative of your nation, you are a complete failure.
I really can't believe the court is asking for £200,000 plus a further £40,000 in cash notes for bail, I mean are they fucking serious? Whatever happen to innocent till proven guilty, or is the UK goverment now in the business of extorting money from inocent people?
So the opinions of one man can affect your thoughts of an entire nation, and to boot, some friends because someone, you only know from a chat room, holds different views than yours? Says more about you there Will.Spencer. I think you guys are a disgrace to your nation, on this wikileaks event in particular, but I'm wise enough to know for every one of you there's probably nine that thinks totally different. Your limited views could not change my opinions of Americans.
Bail in the US is set based on risk of flight. Given the risk of flight by Assange, I'd say his bail was set too low. If I didn't personally know so many Australians, and you were my only insight into the country, I would suspect it could be a country full of lunatics. I'd say Babak has single handedly elevated my opinion of Iranians. Perhaps you should go READ some polling data rather than assuming you are wise enough to know. As I've pointed out many times, your assumption that you know it all is the root cause of your ignorance. Your refusal to absorb factual information that disagrees with your views is what keeps you ignorant.
Julian approached the Swedish authorities before leaving Sweden & they said there wasn't a problem. He handed himself in the second an arrest warrant was issued. He wants this out of the way so there's no way he is a flight risk. It's the bullies doing their bit to stop the truth getting out. They're now realising that for every 1 x Julian Assange being put through the mill, there's a thousand more helping him get to the truth every single day. The powers that be need to realise, the more they fight the truth, the harder it will hit them in the end. The toothpaste has left the tube and there's no putting it back. Bad people will be brought to justice, it's now just a matter of time. I'm hearing there's still a lot we haven't heard yet, the bigger revelations, although widely known in WikiLeaks circles, are being thoroughly investigated as we speak, before any story is released, to avoid the possibility of getting it wrong. No matter what they do to Julian, albeit nothing, there's too many of 'us' that have downloaded their secrets already. Latest news (ABC TV) says he 'could' be held in jail for up to 2 months, I do expect he will be out tomorrow. The 'really really secret' files might be available sooner than we think.
Bushieboy - It's touching... this childlike faith that Assange is a champion of justice, not just a guy that's made millions from those who share his hatred of the US. It'd be more touching if I didn't suspect the distance between your posts may often be dictated by the time it takes to chew through leather straps.
Unless the US has aliens captured (99.999999999999999999999999999 % they don't) I can bet there is nothing in the super secret files that's not public knowledge .
That doesn't change the fact they earn from us. Companies spent billions in internet infrastructure in India, because they get returns. You forgot to say unless its BP or Boeing or GE or.... The FACT IS that US has repeatedly shielded its companies committing gross human rights violations and abetted their illegal activities as in Nigeria and Bhopal. Except that their actions at wikileaks don't involve hacking... http://edition.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/12/15/sweep.wikileaks/ Etc. Maybe for US ass lickers it does more harm than good, but for those countries who deserved to know/have proof of the double standards and what they say about them behind their backs and for the cause of greater good and for the cause of freedom of speech and for the cause of truth and for the cause of transparency, wikileaks and Assange are a boon. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/...r-going-after-Assange/articleshow/7073441.cms 94% Indians support wikileaks and you should read the comments. None of us need a certificate from a bigoted racist extremist, I couldn't give two shits about what such a person thinks of me. I'd actually be worried if a hypocrite with fucked up idea of rights and character such as yourself held me high in his opinion. Here's your polling data: http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2028734_2029036_2029037,00.html Assange gets 400,000 votes compared to 90,000 for your favorite moron Glenn Beck and 30,000 of the Bimbo who wanted him killed. Lying again? So typical of you. There is 0 flight risk. His passport has been seized and he isn't allowed to try to travel abroad. He is under 24*7 surveillance via an electronic tag. He is to spend nights at a mansion and will be under curfew from 10PM to 2AM and 10AM to 2PM and will have to report to the police daily at 6 PM. That sounds like a lot of flight risk BTW my last post must have been a bomb for it shut you all up seeing that all three of you big mouthed extremists couldn't address any point I made. It must have been a learning experience @BigotedRobber: If you have a problem with US taking help from India then you should take it up with your government and corporations rather than take help and act ingrate by not acknowledging it. US sought Bollywood help against extremism: WikiLeaks

So when you bounce all over the forum trashing my country you're a champion of truth, but if I spend just a few posts in a single thread pointing out a few inconvenient facts about your third rate imitation of a 2nd rate country, I'm "biggoted"? LOL... love people that try to dish it out but whine about "bigots" if they get return fire. Put on your big girl panties Dorothy.
Govt. corruption, gasp! Such a revelation coming from a citizen of one of the most corrupt governments on the planet. If the US govt. is evil due to corruption, India is evil on steroids. Grab a clue. You need to read a bit more about Assange. I'd love to have you fitted with a device that allowed you to hear the thoughts of everyone around you. I doubt you'd have any friends at all. There is a reason we all don't walk around naked, genius. LoL. You are in a science related field? Read the article, bright spark. So you've joined the Bushranger crowd in thinking non-scientific polls are reflective of the opinion of your country, or anyone at all for that matter? You crack me up man. More of the same. Lets go through it slowly since you have having trouble with this. 1) Web surveys are non-scientific 2) The survey question did not ask about support for Assange 3) Times person of the year has a variety of notorious recipients, such as Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and the Ayatollah Kohmeni. Assange would fit right in You sure read a lot into a delayed response, though I can appreciate how you spun it to stroke your own ego. Good job man. The funny nicknames you've come up with and the absence of factual evidence in this post come across as desperation. Take a few breaths and try again. On a personal note, i feel your angst. If my country's economy and my personal lively hood hinged on how some foreign country decided to treat my country, I might resent the hell out of it too. Who knows when those contracts will dry up? Who knows when they will cut off those H1Bs and outsourcing contracts? Who knows? I do know this much. If it were me, I'd spend less time antagonizing my masters, and more time focused on education and getting the financial independence to free myself from their benevolent rule. Just my $.02.
They earn from where ? Srlsly if India's economy would have been boosted by pure internal growth the situation should have been way better . So far growth comes as a result of mass outsourcing and forced investment . The US is loosing money & jobs to India at a enormous rate . And how does the government intervene in the corporation ? Does the president have power to change the CEO of any of the mentioned companies ? A bunch of hackers getting classified info .... ya they just asked for it nicely . The article talks mostly about how Wikileaks damaged the US diplomacy . Are you doing a QED for me ?
LOL... right... it works both ways. Those who expose get exposed. Those who claim to be "bastions of truth"... are they "bastions of truth" ?
Helvetti is anti-U.S and ignorant as hell, I knew he was a clown after my first convo with him. You are right though, don't allow one ignorant Indian represent Indians as a whole..
