Pressure is rising as a Swiss bank froze Julian Assange’s defense fund and personal assets (31K EUR) naming him a “high profile” individual. (where will Carlos, the jackal hide his money now?)

The Swedish servers are also under attack but the number of mirror sites is now over 500.

Assange is also suggesting, if Obama approved the orders to have US diplomats spy on their foreign counterparts, the president should resign for violating the rule of law

“The whole chain of command who was aware of this order, and approved it, must resign if the US is to be seen to be a credible nation that obeys the rule of law. The order is so serious it may well have been put to the president for approval,” Julian Assange told Spanish daily El Pais.

“Obama must answer what he knew about this illegal order and when. If he refuses to answer or there is evidence he approved of these actions, he must resign,” he added during an Internet chat interview published online.
