The world has gone completely bare-bollock MAD!
The Emperor's clothes have been torn away to reveal the revolting, stinking, suppurating mass throbbing inside. It's a terrible sight. Such fragility. Such fear. Such guilt!
I offer a thought regarding the intention to make Wikileaks an official terrorist organization. Should that happen, anyone reading Wikileaks worldwide would be guilty of assisting a terrorist organization and will - in all probability - be liable for arrest and - who knows? - rendition (silly me, I mean "extradition" of course).
And based on the massive USG over-reaction yesterday, perhaps "Cablegate" is the new 911 to initiate entirely new draconian controls.
Just a thought.
And the rabid demands for Assange's execution are something to behold. I really do struggle to understand the visceral hatred that underlies them. Understand or not though, it is precisely that mindset in a large proportion of the population that is the enabler of the whole US/UK/NATO criminal enterprise. So, TPTB nurture, stir and stoke it at every opportunity.
My big problem is that I also struggle to get a handle on the numbers who are waking up to their status as sheep and are prepared, having due regard for the potential consequences, to do something about it.
I fear it is far fewer than needed to thwart what is planned though. I also agree that Wikileaks (ie Collateral murder, Afghan war logs, cablegate, the pending bank stuff plus the Insurance.aes256 file) may indeed turn out to be the new 911 - and that we are currently at the apex of the free dissemination and exchange of information.
If they just 'up and kill him' [as they are wont to do and have done tens of thousands of times before], there is little to protect him. In an American Court of Law, I think they might have a more difficult time than they think! [or maybe they know this and will resort to option 1] - there is the little matter of the trial and law used successfully with the Pentagon Papers - which had higher security clearances.
As to this being the new 911, personally I think not, but do agree they will pull something soon to shut all down and have an excuse to further repress free speech, internet dissemination of information [even unclassified or declassified]. The shit is about to hit the proverbial fan.....phony fan; real shit!
