Getting to know Julien Assange:
This is my thoughts on the subject of the Wikileaks. Much of the leaks are most likely very true, should they be leaked, most of it should, yes.
Where I see there should be some discretion in the leaks is if it put innocent civilians in danger, this should never be done.
As for the great secrecy of the true government behind the government, they need to be uncovered to an extent. Things have gone on far to long in to much secrecy that many can no longer trust what the public is told, from what actually goes on in hidden policy making or terroism against the unsuspecting population of this entire planet.
What the controlers behind our leaders tend to ignore is that the people hire leaders to carry out there wishes and to serve and protect. But do they and whom do they serve and protect?
When you have a government that is not serving it's people you can plainly see the evidence in this by the continual loss of freedoms, loss of industry, loss of sovereignty, loss of our parks and ports, loss of our nations wealth, loss of our voice that just falls on deaf ears, loss of our right to film law enforcement acting in a non protect and serve manner, loss of having clean real foods to eat, clean water and clean air and so much more.
There is way to much secrecy and for anyone to accept it as their right to operate in total secrecy means that you are willing to give up your rights and freedom so they may keep theirs. We are spied on in nearly every aspect of our lives, right into our homes, but guess that's okay, it's for our protection, right?
Because they do not just keep secret simply an operation that if it is leaked could cause the death of others, or keep secret the name of a person that may be a witness to horrendous crimes against humanity. They also keep very secret changes and events that effect our lives and freedom as well.
The secrets go far beyond such matters, that are benefitting a particular group of inidviduals that are using their secrecy to create fear and chaos, in order to restructure and cull societies to their desire and we are not given a true decision in any of it.
The thing with leaks and conspiracies, the factors behind these events know that although people may discuss such issues, no one will really do anything about it. Sure someone like Julien Assange and others will speak out and inform the people things that otherwise we would be totally oblivious to, but we as a people will not budge from our comfort zones to actually investigate or act upon any of it. Our attention span wains from one subject to the next simply for nothing more than discussion, tomorrow we move on to something else.
We may gripe about the high cost of living, but we can't even act upon that, so we are effectively a very much nuetered society. Gone are the days of true rallying and protesting, making the powers that be, take notice of our numbers and our input. Where we once made a stand together in masses are now only acted upon by the few, the days of true unity are gone and acceptance of big brother and hidden agendas is now the norm.
Take the example of the Branch Dividians, did the women and children have to pay with their lives because there was supposedly no other way of dealing with a hypothetical situation? David Koresh was villianized, so the country watched their tv's as a mass killing took place. Since no one could see the childrens faces of fear and horror as they hid inside the building, wondering what was happening to them, the concensus of the public was, oh how terrible, well back to my chores. Innocent children were killed and no one cares, because it's yesterdays news. Society is treated like nothing more than movie and tv watchers, waiting for the next exciting episode to watch.
Now with Assange, he leaks information and what do you know, a molestion/rape charge is miraculously pulled out of the blue, set up, probably, because one of the ways of dealing with mavericks is to make them appear like villians with an agenda of their own. All to often, people are more interested in such bogus hollywood type scandals, than the facts that bring a whistle blower to the point of ridicule.
It even happens here on such a place as a forum, someone states their thoughts, gives evidence to back up why they think or perceive things the way they do and someone else comes along and ridicules, making others thoughts sway to, hmm, must be a mental problem with this person, or they're a conspiracy nut job, guess I will ignore the poster. Doesn't matter if the heckler does any research or not on their own, just using counter attacks of ridicule is usually enough to cause a person to lose credit.
So here we have a person that is bringing very important information to the people and rape charges will be what most will think of him now. Forget that he has won awards for reporting crimes against humanity, he's a villian now and the process of discrediting him and others is in the making.
Then the other thought about this whole leak thing is, if they didn't want it out, it wouldn't be. So I wouldn't be surprised if in the near future this is going to be used as a reason "against terroism", to shut down the internet permanently, thus losing yet another freedom, freedom of research and informaiton.
Here is just a small sample of what 911 has brought us, children now being strip searched by the TSA. Desired end results of an event that is in and always will be in question with those who want to dig deeper.
I am also very thankful for those on the forum here that can discuss things without being simply hecklers. Kudos for all the great, thinking members here.
