Wikileaks and the Primal Forces of Nature

I see the calamitous moron Joe Biden is calling Julian Assange a hi-tech terrorist.

Look, this guy has done things that have damaged and put in jeopardy the lives and occupations of people in other parts of the world.

After denying that the day before. 

In an interview the previous day, he had been more neutral about WikiLeaks, saying: "I don't think there's any substantive damage."

I see that Bradley Manning is being slowly broken by torture.

Under the rules, Private Manning is not allowed to sleep at any time between 5am and 8pm; if he does so, he is made to sit up or stand by the guards. He is allowed just one hour of exercise a day, even then not in the fresh air, but an empty room where he can walk in figures of eight. Any attempt by him to keep himself busy by, for example, doing press-ups, or sit-ups, is forbidden.

The guards have to check every five minutes that Private Manning is ok, and he has to verbally confirm that he is alright. The same checks are continued during the night, and, if the guards cannot see Private Manning because he has pulled a blanket over his head (he is allowed blankets but not sheets or pillows) then they wake him up.

With the same kind of sleep deprivation they used to tortured Omar Khadr at Guantanamo.

So I'm not surprised to see the Bank of America joining the war against Wikileaks.

In a sign of the increasing tensions between WikiLeaks and the corporate world, The Bank of America has said it will no longer help process payments for the organisation, which has threatened to "take down" a major United States bank with another data dump.

Because what is the REAL reason Julian Assange and Bradley Manning are being persecuted, tortured, and treated like terrorists?

Even though all they've done is expose war crimes, and embarrass the rich and the powerful.

Answer: they are being made examples of,  for committing the unforgivable, the unspeakable crime of meddling with the primal forces of nature. 

Of course that pontificating plutocrat is wrong. The primal forces of nature dictate that those who can't adapt  to change are doomed to die and disappear.

The world needs to change if it's going to survive. 

If the old men who are torching this planet with their greed and their corruption don't understand that sooner or later they will.

Or there will be peaceful change, or there will be a REVOLUTION.

Julian Assange is the imperfect prophet of a new age. 

Bradley Manning is its unlikely martyr.















And my hero.

Honesty and transparency are the primal forces of democracy.

And the truth will set us FREE...
