It's Not a Conspiracy, But...

A number of years back, I would have posted this story and said "Look! It's a conspiracy against Julian Assange! They want control us all!.......Man!!!!!" But I don't want to be that guy, and I'm not that guy anymore. Yes, Julian Assange is being both prosecuted and persecuted for what he's doing. But no, it's not some sort of conspiracy against him. He's a high profile suspect, he's done a lot of things to piss off a lot of important people, and so he's going to get handled differently. We certainly have no idea is he committed sexual assault or not, and it's not really relevant.
