Updated 110413An extensive timeline that aims to highlight the Julian Assange affair. Especially Swedens role in it. To search: hold in *Ctrl* and press *F*. Then type in search or keyword.
No theories, no speculation, just plain facts. Pieces of a puzzle buildt mainly from the big timeline done by
Operation want. The parts in red have been added. I doubt the whole truth about the Julian Assange affair will ever be made public. But there should certainly be enough facts in this timeline to keep hordes of nosy journalists busy for a long time.
This timeline is of course still lacking a lot of bits and pieces here and there. Hopefully though everyone will find bits of information in it, still new to them. I will of course add new relevant information to it as often as possible. Everyone reading this that has information should feel free to share it here.
Regarding the information about the Swedish corporation Investor AB and it's owners in the mighty Swedish Wallenberg family , the possible connection is explained in further detail on the official Anonymous operation want homepage.
http://e-worldwar.com/~/index.php/politics/opwantThis is truly an intriguing story when you read it in a somewhat chronological order. I do not claim that all facts and events stated below are related to Julian Assange and the way he has been handled by swedish authorities. Not many have that information, and the few that do will never willingly share it, These are just facts. The reader will have to draw their own conclusions.
The absurdity of this case is nothing new to all of us that previously have become victims of a swedish justice system that is suffering from severe genderbias and corruption, but it gives us a bit of hope that it is visualised in this way. A justice system is something not many care about until the day they themselves get a taste of it. In Sweden as in most democracies the absolute majority never will. That is probably the biggest reason it can go on like this year after year. No one cares about the cries for justice from inside Swedish jails. The day it happens to you, you will be powerless.

The "Afghan War Diary" is a compilation of documents and reports, covering the war in Afghanistan back to 2004. [8]
In early August, Julian Assange goes to Sweden, possibly to explore basing the organization there. Sweden has very good journalistic shield and media protection laws. Iceland had been the previous base—and a WikiLeaks holding company, Sunshine Press, is still based there. By Assange’s account, the sway of the US over Iceland’s politics made the country unsuitable for the organisation.[9]
August 11th Julian Assange arrives in Stockholm, Sweden. Anna Ardin offers him accommodation in her apartment while she is out of town.[10]
August 12th Reporter Without Boarders, a National Endowment for Democracy funded front group, sends an open letter to Assange: ‘‘A bad precedent for the Internet’s future’’.[11] [98]
August 13th Assange moves into Ardin’s Stockholm apartment. [97]

August 16th Assange goes on the train with Wilen to her apartment Enkoping (Ardin is out of Stockholm during the week) and stays the night. It is the events of this night that will form the basis of the complaint to the police in Wilen’s name. Wilen will later tell police that Assange spent most of the train trip ignoring her and checking his computer [14]
August 17th Mr. Assange reportedly has sex with Wilen[15] Assange Accepts a Job at
the Aftonbladet [127]
August 18th Ardin tells Assange that he is no longer welcome to stay in her apartment. Assange refuses to leave and does not depart until Friday August 20. [99] Mr. Assange applies for a residence permit to live and work in Sweden. [16] The Pirate Party announces that it will host several new Wikileaks servers. [17] Anna Ardin holds a party for liberation of Islam & Politics.[18]
August 18th or the 19th Ardin and Wilen exchanged texts and arrange to meet. [19] (Unconfirmed: tweets from Wilen are made at this time regarding the events of the previous days. Wilen’s internet presence later disappears so completely that Swedish hacker sites conclude that a professional clean-up job has been performed) [100]
August 20th Ardin and Wilen go to Klara police station in Stockholm to make inquiries about the possibility of forcing Assange to take an STI test. The visit results in charges being filed against Assange. [20]
Police woman Irmeli Krans, (later confirmed to be a personal friend and socialdemocrat party colleague with Anna Ardin, Claes Borgström and his business partner Tomas Bodström), starts the interrogation, but before it is finished, policewoman Linda Wassgren calls the prosecutor Maria Häljebo Kjellstrand and arranges the arrest (anhållan) of Julian Assange.
Maria Häljebo Kjellstrand, unlawfully told the press that Julian was wanted for rape (reported in the tabloid Expressen, owned by Bonniers AB, part of the Investor group. Bonnier AB also own Swedish newspapers Dagens Nyheter, Dagens industri, Sydsvenska dagbladet, Ystad allehanda, Trelleborgs allehanda, Kristianstadsbladet and are part owner of TV channel TV4 ).
Kjellstrand was replaced the next day by prosecutor Eva Finné who invalidated the arrest and stated that the interrogation report showed that no crime had been committed. Not even the weaker of the possible charges. She states that the original interrogation report of Sofia Wilén shows that there was no crime described. This original interrogation was later said to be lost or deleted, and it was never signed by Sofia Wilén. (the interrogation was never finished, Sofia Wiléns distress on hearing about the arrest and rape charge towards Julian Assange made her unable to concentrate.)
Monday the 25th August, two days after the interrogation Irmeli Krans could no longer access the protocol in the police computer system Dur 2. Mats Ghelin then orders Irmeli Krans to write a new report of the above interrogation of Sofia Wilen. (precise references to the original report https://www.flashback.org/sp28605042)
There were early rumors of an internal promemoria among the police protesting the rape charge. This protest was probably coming from Irmeli Krans. Probably, and speculatively, the whole affair at this moment was grasped from the control of Anna Ardin and Irmeli Krans, and into the hands of policeman Mats Gehlin. The same Mats Gehlin that become leader of the investigation from now on, and that continuosly leaks material to the press, and makes public statements to the press where he critisizes prosecutor Eva Finné.
Before Julian himself had been informed. the Prosecutor contravened Swedish privacy and secrecy law, which protects the confidentiality of preliminary criminal investigations and is supposed toprotect those being investigated from adverse and prejudicial media coverage. A complaint was made about the Prosecutor’s illegal act to the Judicial Ombudsman but no action was taken. [21]
Mr Assanges swedish laqwyer Björn Hurtig applied for disclosure of the police file in September and November 2010. Both requests for disclosure were denied by the Prosecutor, Ms Ny, despite the
fact that some of this material had already been provided to the press.[103]
August 21st The arrest warrant is withdrawn. Chief Prosecutor of Stockholm, Eva Finne, threw out the rape charge after reviewing the police file and the statements of the two women. The investigation continued on lesser allegations of harassment only. [22]
Ardin gives an anonymous interview to swedish tabloid Aftonbladet [24]
August 22st "It is clearly a smear campaign ... the only question is who was involved. We can have some suspicions about who would benefit, but without direct evidence I would not be willing to make a direct allegation." [25]
The lawyer for the two women, Claes Borgstrom, was retained by his clients on August 22nd. This was a Sunday. A high profile lawyer like Claes Borgström would normaly be very hard to reach for any client on a Sunday. This means either Anna Ardin reached him via her political contacts, or he saw the case and jumped on it himself.
At this time though, all suspicions of criminal wrongdoing had been dropped against Julian. That means that the women did not have the right to retain a free public attorney as plaintiffs. That right was given to them first on September 1st, when Marianne Ny reopened the case.
Claes Borgström, must therefore have been retained as a defence attorney by the women on Sunday the 22nd. Why? Was it anger over Eva Finnés decision to drop the charges? No. That question is answered by Claes Borgström himself in Washington post:'Asked whose initiative it was to appeal - his or the women's - Borgström demurred, citing client confidentiality. However, he said the women didn't even know it was possible to appeal a prosecutor's decision until he told them.'
So for some unknown reason the women, on Sunday the 22, one day after Eva Finnés decision to drop the rape charges, privately hired a very expensive defence attorney, and in such a hurry it couldn't even wait until monday.
August 23rd Anna Ardin reported to be on sick leave.[26]
August 24 th Swedish
(socialdemocrat) feminist blog Rebella, which is run by Ardin and others, posts a long article by Sara Gunnerud entitled “even Wikileaks heroes can do crappy things”. [27] During this week, there is a great deal of blogosphere attention to an item on Ardin’s blog, a “7-step guide to revenge on ex-lovers”. [28]
The Rebella blogarticle was later edited by Sara Gunnerud. She states her reasons in an e-mail: "This article has gotten a lot of readers and attention, and the first version, I think took what the women say they have endured a bit too lightly. Hence the change. It was a while ago now, but I seem to recall that it was in early December. "
The original version:
This can involve something as simple as two women who wanted to find out if it was possible to make someone get tested for sexually transmitted diseases. And police officers that did their jobs and saw something wrong in the women's story about a sexual partner who ignored their agreement on protected sex with condoms without their knowledge or consent.
Later became:
This can involve something as simple as two women who wanted to stand up for their right to their bodies, who did not accept sexual abuse and therefore reported it.
Probably the change was made to harmonize with the nationwide #prataomdet (#talk about it) campaign that appeared a few days after the editing of the blog.August 27th Claes Borgström lodges an appeal to a special department in the public prosecutions office. Mr Borgstrom is a Social Democrat politician who was, at that time, campaigning for election in the election to be held the following month (September 2010) and whose political platform and reputation is closely associated with sexual offence law reform. [23] [102]
Claes Borgstrom is a business partner of Thomas Bodstrom who as the former justice minister that was involved in the secret, high-level Swedish cooperation with the CIA in handing over asylum seekers to be tortured in Egypt in the CIA rendition programme. [108]
August 30th Borgstrom approached Marianne Ny, who is the head of a special unit in
Gothenburg, Sweden’s second city, 200 kilometers from Stockholm. Ny heads a special “crime development unit” and is a specialist in the development of sex crime law. [29]
Marianne Ny at this time no longer work as an operative prosecutor. That she personally takes on a case is very rear. This was the only one in 2010. Ms Ny was also a member of the state appointed committee who in 2008 made a preparatory legislation regarding harder sexlaws in Sweden.
Some suggestions by the commitee were: - Definition of rape extended to more cases of sexual exploits.
- A completely new and consent-based crime is introduced
- The scope of the crime child rape extended
- penalties for sexual exploitation of children and aggravated sexual abuse of children are tightened,
- The definition of sexual harassment considerably extended
Marianne Ny and Claes Borgström obviously knows eachother from before. They have both been very politically active in the lobby that successfully have campaigned for harder sexlaws. In 2007 Marianne Ny invited Claes Borgström to hold a lecture in a government funded project concerning sex crime victims.
August 31st Assange is questioned by police for about an hour in Stockholm and formally told of the allegations against him.[30] Assange applies for a work and residency permit in Sweden. The permit would be essential to his plan to found WikiLeaks as a media company in Sweden, with full
protection of media shield laws. [107]
Some day during this week Claes Borgström contacts Marianne Ny and ask her hold off the decision about reopening the rapecase since "new material" had been found and sent to the state crime lab in Linköping. This later turned out to be the broken condom that was allegedly used by Julian Assange on the 14th of August . For some reason Anna Ardin still was in possession of it after 12 days. The condom showed no trace of DNA from Julian Assange. And what is even more conspicuous is the it did not show any trace of DNA from Ms Ardin either. Witch is absolutely impossible had this condom actually been used the way she claims.September 1st Director of Prosecutions Marianne Ny says she is reopening the rape investigation against Mr. Assange.[31] The Prosecution continued to provide information about the preliminary investigation to the press. Expressen applied for access to the police file on 1 September and this
was granted: redacted versions of Julian’s statement and emails between the police and prosecutor were provided to the press shortly thereafter. [101] At some point in September, Ardin deleted from her blog the seven-step guide to get revenge on a ex-lover. [32]
September 7th Birgitta Jonsdottir says Assange should step aside as a spokesman forWikileaks.[33]
Swedish police raided seven locations, including PRQ, a Swedish Internet service provider believed to be the Internet service provider for The Pirate Bay, a popular BitTorrent search engine, and Wikileaks, a site dedicated to receiving information from whistle-blowers. [34]

September 19th Swedish national election are held. The winning Moderate party is a client of former chief of staff in the Bush administration Karl Rove [109]
Sofia Wiléns aunt is reportedly Marie Wilén. She was a Member of Parliament (centerpartiet) 1994 - 1998 and thus she knows Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist, a member of the Centre party's board in 1998, and later kanslichéf (chief of staff). Thand Ringkvist is now a senior consultant for Prime PR and appeared at Primes (anti-) Wikileaks seminar on December 15.

moved to the US. He stated private family reasons. He has now decided to stay there permanently. He says he aims for a place in congress for the democrats. Quite a political leap for a swedish social democrat who is a left wing socialistic party that sings
