Boycott him too

Sweden used to be the moral standard of liberalism in the world. No more. They obviously have been inhaling too many US chemtrails.
Does anyone on the planet with a brain buy the story about Assange’s sexual assault? It reeks of cheap politics, outright lies, and back room deals. Even if Assange did anything wrong, and I am inclined to believe that he did nothing legally wrong, he has more than served his sentence.
Sweden is showing the world who is running their foreign policy.
Until Sweden relents and stops the prosecution of Assange, I suggest that you join me in boycotting anything Swedish: IKEA, Volvo, Abba, Ericsson, H&M, Electrolux, etc..
And don’t forget ABBA!

The chances that WikiLeaks’ co-founder Julian Assange might have had his legal battle with Sweden ended on Monday appear to have faded away, as the court is unwilling to drop the arrest warrant over sexual assault allegations.
The Swedish court was due to announce an official ruling on Assange’s appeal to drop his arrest warrant. It was issued after he failed to meet the Monday deadline to come to Sweden for questioning over rape accusations. While no news on the decision immediately emerged, the Chief Prosecutor’s Office told RT that its position hasn’t changed.
In response to Assange’s appeal earlier in September, the prosecution argued that “the purpose behind the remand into custody of Julian Assange in his absence is to prevent Julian Assange from absconding or avoiding criminal proceedings or punishments for named crimes.”
The WikiLeaks co-founder and editor-in-chief says the case has been trumped up to hand him over to the US, where he is being investigated for espionage.
“There are two reasons [for the prosecution not lifting the warrant]: one is the prestige on account of the prosecutor, the second one is almost certainly that the US administration is making it known to Swedish authorities that they would like it very much if they kept Mr Assange where he is and leave it as it is,” Swedish activist and politician Lars Christian Engstrom told RT.
In July, a Swedish court upheld an arrest warrant for Julian Assange.
