WikiLeaks

"Shares in Bank of America, the largest US bank, tumbled more than 3 per cent on Tuesday amid speculation it would be the next target of leaked documents from WikiLeaks."

Interesting... what have they been up to...?

Sarah Palin: "Assange is not a 'journalist', any more than the 'editor' of al-Qaeda's new English-language magazine Inspire is a 'journalist'."

False equivalence. Palin, dumb bitch, also calls his actions treasonous, so presumably she didn't even know he was Australian.

Meghan McCain: "creepy rogue Swedish guy"

Oh the boys in Sweden will just love you for that, Meghan.

Now consider:

"In April the website (WikiLeaks) released graphic, classified video footage of an American helicopter gunship firing on and killing Iraqis in a Baghdad street in 2007, apparently in cold blood. The de-encrypted video, which WikiLeaks released on its own sites as well as on YouTube, caused an international uproar.
The Baghdad video has been WikiLeaks' biggest coup to date, although an extraordinary number of unauthorised documents - more than a million - have found their way to the website. These include a previously secret, 110-page draft report by the international investigators Kroll, revealing allegations of huge corruption in Kenya involving the family of the former president Daniel arap Moi; the US government's classified manual of standard operating procedures for Camp Delta at Guantanamo Bay, which revealed that it was policy to hide some prisoners from the International Committee of the Red Cross; a classified US intelligence report on how to marginalise WikiLeaks; secret Church of Scientology manuals; an internal report by the global oil trader, Trafigura, about dumping toxic waste in the Ivory Coast; a classified US profile of the former Icelandic ambassador to the US in which the ambassador is praised for helping quell publicity about the CIA's activities involving rendition flights; and the emails leaked from the embattled Climate Research Unit at East Anglia in Britain, last November, which triggered the so-called ''climategate'' scandal."


Note the frothing "hunt him down and clip him" cowboys were not so passionately and murderously critical of WikiLeaks when the latter gave them Climategate... hmm?

  1. As you can imagine, there's a massive uproar by the neocons in this country about WikiLeaks. It seems exposing the truth is once again treason, therefore made inaccessible in the U.S. now.

    Suddenly, all we see when we try to access WikiLeaks is "Internet Explorer Cannot Display Webpage"

    The band of big brothers, the elite, are still in the information suppression business.

    God, I'm so glad we live in such a freedom-loving democracy. Damned fascists!!!

  2. What has this taught us...?

    That the 6 c'clock news might as well be The Brady Bunch for all it tells us.

  3. The MSM should tuck their heads in their asses (oh wait, they're heads are already there) and whimper like a kicked dog. I neither watch nor read any MSM, except on a rare occasion, but I wory that the media I read on line will kneel on all fours, mouth open, just like those in the US. Then I'll not find shit.

    I'm and avid reader of al Jazeera, but they may be gagged by Saudi for all the ridicule they've espoused about the House of Saud.
