Wikileak's founder, Juilian Assange’s defenders are now claiming that the first woman that filed allegations against him for not wearing a condom while having sex is affiliated with the CIA and that obviously, this was an attempt to set him up by using what is known in the spy trade as a “honey trap.”
If the CIA was able to compromise him with a plot using a “seductress” who would later go to the police with false allegations, it would be because they knew of his susceptibility to flattery and insistence on unprotected sex. Knowing that, it seems unlikely to me that a woman could be convinced to have sex with someone who may very well be teeming with disease due to his reputation to engage in condom-less sex with numerous partners. In addition, his defenders ignore the inconvenient truth that two women filed a complaint with the police.
Then there’s the tradition of accusing innocent women of being the bait in a honey trap. The most famous is Mata Hari, who was executed by a French firing squad in 1917. After the war, French officials revealed there was no evidence to back up the charges.
Assange’s allies are lining up as a self-appointed firing squad, hurling a volley of character assassinations in another time-honored tradition to kill the allegations, by defaming the victims and questioning their motives, reputations and veracity. Blame the victim, anyone?
They want us to believe that once a woman agrees to consensual sex with a man, she abdicates any control over the type of sex they have and her decision about whether or not to become pregnant or to be exposed to contracting a disease. If she complains, it’s because she’s been jilted, is a gold digger, a man hater, or now, a CIA operative.
