P, I think you may be wrong, americans (and the world at large) is being done a big disservice by your government.
It is not the citizens of america that is under threat, it is the politicians.
Great post man!
What these politician's and high class citizens (elite) have at heart is to look after thier own arses! We already know that the American government doesn't work for the "people", much like many other government's.
People don't really understand why people like Assange do the things they do. And therefore condem it. These (conspiracy theorist's) revolutionists are after the truth, and I am all for it.
I see and hear politician's lying out thier fucking teeth everyday, thinking to myself "what the fuck did he mean by all that" How many of the things that Obama said he would do when running for presidency, has he actually done?! Next to nothing or in other words, fuck all!
How much money has he and every other pro war president throwen into war's (trillion's, quadrillion's) when they could have put that tax payers cash to much better use, put it back into the American infrastructure, put back into bettering American communities, fuck I dunno, give it to NASA! As long as it's not going in to war stockpiling and media brainwashing.
Sure there are certain things that people don't need to know, but let's be clear here, lying is quite obviously completely different from withholdng information.........
Personally, I think that Assange was just playing the same game as the American gvt. Only problem is, he is playing with giant's and he will get squished like a bug.
Also, Peach, I agree that we hve to be careful about the information war. But governent's will never be able to silence a voice in a so called "free" country. They think that they can use undercover tactic's and do everything without anyone knowing, and I think that this is thier weak point, the government put's too much faith in it's people to believe all that the black box tell's us. But in the last couple of years, this has proven to be less and less effective.
I don't want to see a downfall of America, far from it. I want to see world wide peace and understanding and that will never happen with conniving, slimy bastards like John Rockefeller, George Bush etc in command.
Group's like the Bilderberg Group, Council on Foreign Relation's, Trilateral Commision all need to be wiped out.
After these two things are done, we can finally start thinking about a truely free world.
