Your points have no foundation in law. When you come back with a valid argument I will respond. Absent that I am not getting back on your treadmill.

Absolutely ridiculous! It is amazing how the justice system turns into this amazing thing, when it means that someone you hate can go down for a crime he did not commit.

I doubt the justice system gives a toss about what Xcathdra thinks.
We are sort of going around in circles with this.
I think Assange's innocence or guilt can only be properly tested in a court. Whether that's the rape allegations if they went to court in Sweden, or his impending arrest for skipping bail which is applicable to England.
You think he's innocent of all crime. Squeaky clean. A man who has done no wrong and anyone accusing him of rape is a liar. We all know that rapists are the lowest of the low, but in Assange's case there is no case to answer because it's all made up and clearly going to court to argue his case is just a ruse. All courts are corrupt and judges are all out to get him. So is the jury. We know this because Assange made a statement to that effect and that's all the proof we need.
Have I summed this up accurately?

Going by the text messages, then Yes, it is 100% made up, no doubt about it.

Yawn. Like I said we're going around in circles.
The text messages you cite were provided by Assange. Assange says they prove his innocence, so that's good enough for you. Think it through. Of course Assange would say he did not do it.

If they are text messages, then yes, that is evidence. Easily they can be confirmed if logged with no problem.

And for a court to scrutinise. Nothing worse than "internet-juries". Oh, by all means form a view, but evidence in a crime is something that a court and a jury need to review and consider.
That's the root of our difference. I think a court / legal process should review the facts, while you (and others) believe the "evidence" filtered by Assange is the only source of truth.

and how did Assange obtain the texts?
Let me help -
If someone from the legal system in Sweden leaked then then it is a crime.
If Assange obtained them through his methods then it is a crime.
If the messages were modified by someone then it is a crime.
Setting aside the above argument and going with your version, that the text messages show the women lied. That situation would be in Assange's favor in a courtroom.
Now my other question is what other evidence does the prosecutor have on Assange?

Why would any rational human being go back to the same same country for trail, when that same country tried to frame him for rape? Even the "victim" said she was forced. Where is the logic in that?

The circle again.
You think he's been framed, but let the Swedish court decide that. Let the defence articulate all the points you have raised as evidence. If the evidence that you have been drip fed from Assange is so clear that he's incontrovertibly innocent, then why does he not move on it? Clearly Assange is incapable of rape and the women are liars. This is of course what many alleged rapists say, but hey, Assange is different.
Oh, of course. It's all a fix. Even if he's guilty, and is found guilty, he'll be innocent in the eyes of those who have considered he's innocent. Exactly what part of Sweden's judicial system has been corrupted so much that a celebrity will be stitched up in the eyes of the world's press?

Let me get this right. If he was framed ( which is extremely likely)

Why do you think Assange has been framed? For that to be the case the two women are liars. Let that be exposed in court when evidence is examined. Is it that difficult?

It is not that they are just lies, read the text messages.
I think he did break several US laws and should be prosecuted for it.

I have done so, as stated. These texts are embedded within a statement from Assange which will have obviously been selective. My point (which I repeat) is that this is just evidence that needs to be exposed in court, where the veracity and context can be properly scrutinised. If Assange is so confident of his innocence then he needs to prove it, otherwise he's just an alleged rapist.
It is crass stupidity to take the word of an alleged rapist without testing that word in court.
