Angry Rant #14: Wikileaks like crazy!

Wikileaks has hit the headlines again – this time in a very negative way, or at least what people are being led to believe is a very negative. Firstly, Julian Assange, the Australia guy in charge of the release of Wikileaks, has nothing to do with the leaks themselves – he is merely the medium that people on the inside use to get the information out. Now that aside, for a collection of United States Congressman to say that Assange should get the death penalty for releasing the information is not only absurd, but it proves that those that are in positions of power have had their cages rattled a bit – and it’s about bloody time.

Rattle Rattle.

If the Wikileaks we’re false, I very much doubt that these “World Powers” would be so up-in-arms about the whole issue. Do not believe the lies and spin when there is a press release from the U.S. government stating that Assange has engaged in a Cyber-attack on the U.S. – it’s the logical thing to expect when the foundations of a world power have been rocked by a little wikileaks earthquake

So what’s the spin from “World Powers”? That lives will be lost. Seems like a fair assumption, but   haven't lives been lost in the past - aren't lives being lost now? The most important leak released would be the knowledge that Saudi Arabia isn’t a happy camper it regards to Iran’s Nuclear Program, and want someone (*cough cough * U.S. *cough cough*) to “disrupt” their opertations. The program itself was sanctioned by the UN (But even the U.N. is only really run by five nations, the U.S. included, so I guess that won’t come as a surprise to most people.

Such a good album title.

This brings me to the main point of this whole argument – most of things that have been released by Wikileaks has already been known – it’s now been made official. For example,

• The Western World is also scared of Iran’s Nuclear Program (No surprise there)
• The U.S. thinks very little of Australia (again, no surprise
  

If everyone is aware of it, why are people afraid of talking about it? (Yes, there is a Harry Potter reference there, but I’ll let you figure it out)

I thought the “democratic Western-world” was supposed to be just that – democratic, i.e. run by the people. I’m a citizen, you’re a citizen, yet we are constantly left out of the equation – we are used to go and fight in wars that have very little to do with us; we are robbed of our money by the corporate world who run this planet. We make their wallets even heavier, yet there are more people that live in poverty and die in the worst conditions and are left to fend for themselves like animals. We keep the rich, rich and the poor continue to die.

The Problem.

So these “World Powers” are in charge of the world because they are morally and ethically correct? They care about the people, and never put themselves first? They do everything they can to help countries in need?

No.

Money = Power

It’s taken a while for these countries to aquire it, and they’ll do all that is within their power to make sure that they stay on top.

Don’t surrender Julian Assange.

Don’t believe the lies and spin.
