I purposely titled this to warn you - right-wingers & left-wingers will prolly fight tooth & nail, but I maintain that these articles pretty well describe the state of US politics, & the US gov't's responses to Wikileaks, to a "T."
The US gov't's biggest concern, over the last several months, would seem to have been trying to put the rabbit back into the hat, or the toothpaste in the tube, or whatever analogy you prefer. Unfortunately, it isn't happening.
Silly remarks by US ambassadors & such aside, the largest single threat to the US would seem to be the revelations about how deeply the corporate world is entrenched within its gov't, & how they threaten the world's citizens. In some ways, these leaks seem to validate many of the claims made by our worst enemies & "liberals" (which, some would say, are interchangeable) against the US.
Looking at how Bradley Manning is being kept in our most notorious (& un-Constitutional) prison, how some of those journalists involved have been threatened by law firms representing the USA (but who ALSO represent the Bank Of America), the claims that at least one of their own has been killed, how the USAF has made even looking at Wikileaks info "an act of espionage," & all of those other over-the-top reactions to it all, one cannot but wonder about how much of this information is true, & why our gov't would want us all to be kept so uninformed about it, even as the rest of the civilized world may digest it all as freely as they can, considering the US involvement in shutting down sites that distribute it, & other tactics to stop the flow of info.
It would be most dangerous for us all to be well-informed of the acts of our gov't, to know about how the banks & other global corporations intend to control us through the relecommuniications industry, our food & water, our medicines, our incomes, our freedom to travel, & our education. Yeah, it would be a huge problem for those who would rule, for our eyes to be opened enough to see their plans, their behind the scenes manipulation of us all. It would ruin them for us to be exposed to the unbelievable amount of CORRUPTION in the halls of the Capotal building, the Whitre House, White Hall, et al.
I believe it's every American's DUTY to LOOK for this information, that we may be informed of the actions of those who consider themselves so far above us. It may be too late for us to bring about a peaceful change, but it is becoming more obvious to many of us that a huge change IS in order.
It's time to quit being so fearful of our gov't, & time to investigate it, & fix all that is wrong in there.
We must also keep in mnd that not necessarily ALL of the info out there is true, because there are so many groups & folks with personal agendas. The info needs to be sifted to check for truth, which is something that we've all been missing for a very long time in our gov't & our news media.
