You will know you have spoken the truth when you are angrily denounced; and you will know you have spoken both truly and well when you are visited by the police. –J. B. R. Yant
Apparently the folks from Wikileaks.org have spoken both truly and well. Which is why you must be shielded from them – – –
"The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth becomes the greatest enemy of the State." –Chief Nazi "Information Officer" Dr. Joseph P. Goebbels
Thus the American establishment — including opinion mills from both halves of the War Party — is actively looking for any which-way it can to repress the release of more of it’s mortal enemy to "we the people." The methods of repression include a very shakey prosecution of head Wikileaks dude, Julian Assange, threats in fact, to persecute him all over the world, an on-going investigation of Wikileaks by Mr. Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder, presumably to invoke the Espionage Act, etc.
There have also been calls to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by U.S. Representative Peter King (R-NY) to have Wikileaks declared a Foreign Terrorist Organization, or FTO on a par with al’Qaeda. That would open Wikileaks associates to assassination, etc. as per the latest White House push to authorize executive kill lists.
Is it just me, or does it seem as if the U.S. establishment — in fact, establishments world wide [1] — are as terrified by the truth as they want us to be of al’Qaeda?
Perhaps Wikileaks front dude Julian Assange and company aren’t aware of the dangers the truth poses, not only to the state as Goebbels revealed, but to those ill-advised enough — or brave enough — to reveal it.
During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act. –George Orwell
If you’re going to start talking the truth, keep one foot in the saddle of your fastest horse. –Chinese proverb
So, is your foot in the saddle?
No? It’s OK, but how about the next best thing: Support these brave folks, not only wikileaks, but the folks brave enough to put antiwar.com up for more than 12 years, etc.
Notes:
"This disclosure is not just an attack on America’s foreign policy interests. It is an attack on the international community," Clinton said, following talks in Washington with Turkey’s foreign minister. –[Hillary] Clinton accuses WikiLeaks of ‘attack’ on the world return
And will antiwar.com read, analyze, and condense the intel leaks for us? That would be better support for Wikileaks and the public than a general article of support. We are confronted with a lot of raw data.
Boy, ain't THAT the truth! I don't think any one organization is up to the job. They could ALL use some help, I would guess.
In the mean time, Wikileaks – – – and, potentially all dissenting entities, are under attack for revealing the truth.
I've read all the ones that have been publicly released (291 of them) so far and written summaries on the ones of particular interest from a foreign policy perspective. Sometimes I wish they were releasing them a little faster, but it makes it easier to get a good night's sleep this way.
Right-on, bro! (As we'd say in the day.)
Are your summaries available?
If so, where?
Incidentally, excellent work on the news releases you do. ! If I'm not careful I begin to mistake the tripe spewing out of captured U.S. media for the mental-set of my countrymen. It's such a relief to see a non-war-party slant from another American!!
Thanks, a link to all the summaries is available here

I'll try to keep updating it as more come in.
'Truth is treason in the empire of lies' – Ron Paul
Since the UnPatriot Act, I honestly admit that I have been reluctant to speak out and have wondered if Ishould…..is it wise to threaten my own safety? So, not liking myself for reacting this way, I had to think about it a lot…..everything takes time…its own time. I turn on my radio and hear hate being screamed at me. I turn on my tv and get no news. I go to the internet and I search to learn what went on in the world today. I then came to understand and to be so grateful to, anyone and everyone who does speak out. I want to thank everyone who does. I consider everyone of you to be, true patriots. You encourage cowards like me, and I need you ….all of you.
Some of us are just more fool-hardy than others I guess.
