Try not to be so shocked....some of us like the cloak and dagger stuff....it's ATS for Pete's sake. Besides this kind of cloak and dagger stuff may
have a serious impact on how our government conducts it's affairs....and I say it's about time someone called out the powers that attack their own
people and homeland in order to manipulate the masses into another war for the sake of corporate interests.
Sorry, it is impossible for me to "not be shocked" over people blindly accepting this wikileaks as truth.
In fact, I have no idea what drives anyone to trust a website that is doing one of two things (or both?)
1) Stealing from government classified documents and openly sharing them with the world. Does anyone for one second even think that this Julian
Assange (if legit) is criminal and dangerous for doing this? Think about it...do you feel "safe" knowing a stupid hacker guy is stealing information
from our military and haphazardly just posting them for all our enemies? Or do you all just think things like- "hey cool! Mr Assange is totally
awesome and fighting the good fight!"
2) Working hand in hand with government agencies, working towards an agenda that blurrs the lines between truth and lies.
Lets face it...wikileaks is NOT the first whistleblowers website on the net, yet it is the first to receive coverage and publication by the mainstream
media...and why? What has this website shown us thus far?
That Osama B is real and dangerous?
That the wars we fight are real and some people die in them?
That the CIA and Interpol are crippled in the duty of catching Mr Assange?
Sorry...not buying it...the guy is a ghost...Bradly Manning is a ghost...there is no real proof of these people even existing...and I for one doubt
anyone could be doing what wikileaks is doing without being silenced or removed quickly enough...
But not Julian...he gets up on international press stages, gives public speeches, dodges rape chargers AND releases sensitive government secrets
without missing a beat or even ending up in a down-town holding cell.
Sure...yeah...international man of mystery lives out of his backpack, traveling country to country breaking countless laws and pissing off our
intelligence agencies, and still operates openly and safely...
Sorry...this sort of crap don't fly with me. Julian Assange is doing MORE AND MORE to help the USA cover their butts buy releasing "sensitive info"
that just defends the original story of 911, terror and Osama's super forces of box-cutter warriors...
Sorry...I agree with the Pentagon's statements on this one- that wikileaks has all the hallmarks of a CIA operation.
And for the record- if wikileaks IS REAL, anyone defending a madman's ability to publish secret documents of America's defense systems/agencies is
really messed up.
