Otherwise, when the system turns the ‘two minutes of hate’ against itself, when sufficient spleen has been vented, when the human batteries are empty, the game-rules gearshift to the next level but the song remains the same.


Once enough people understand this, then real change might happen.

"I'm a member of WikiLeaks. I'm an insider of WikiLeaks. I'm a devotee of WikiLeaks. I'm a critic of WikiLeaks," he said. "My current shtick is to pretend that I am an opponent of WikiLeaks. It's called friendly opposition. Praising each other is so insipid. Your parents praise you. Your friends never do. They know it's a con job, so praise is manipulation. Criticism is more candid. [Assange] hasn't returned the favor." Link

Humanity desperately need to head towards a common understanding of how the game is played. Humanity need to quickly grasp where we are actually heading . A Global supertech fascist system, evolving in front of our own eyes as we speak.

I dont see much evidence of anything within the Wikileaks data explaining too much of this. Rather I see it evidenced in the reaction to wikileaks.

The Vice President of the United States, supposedly a "Democrat" calls this guy a "terrorist"? Do words not mean ANYTHING any more?

It's unreal, the reaction to this. It's like the vampires when someone opens a window and lets the sun shine in. It's violent and ugly to watch and possibly dangerous.

But oh so revealing.

(or is it? I was thinking for a while that the reaction could be part of the con, but it's really getting out of control and seems to have no organization to it. It's sputtering and nonsense and ranting and hysterical. It's just plain bizarre, too bizarre and irrational to be scripted methinks).

Dave Winer on Amazon and Apple contracts with US government

2010-12-28

Dave Winer published an excerpt of a promotional email from Amazon today which he calls "the 800 pound gorilla in the room." It sheds more light on Amazon's officially stated reason for denying service to Wikileaks.

"Government adoption of AWS grew significantly in 2010. The Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board became the first government-wide agency to migrate to a cloud-based environment when it moved Recovery.gov to AWS in March 2010. Today we have nearly 20 government agencies leveraging AWS, and the U.S. federal government continues to be one of our fastest growing customer segments. The U.S. General Services Administration awarded AWS the ability to provide government agencies with cloud services through the government's cloud storefront, Apps.gov. Additional AWS customers include Treasury.gov, the Federal Register 2.0 at the National Archives, the openEI.org project at DoE's National Renewable Energy Lab, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program at USDA, and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at NASA. The current AWS compliance framework covers FISMA, PCI DSS Level 1, ISO 27001, SAS70 type II, and HIPAA, and we continue to seek certifications and accreditations that make it easier for government agencies to benefit from AWS."

He also references a December 14 post in AppleInsider and points out that Apple banned a Wikileaks app from their store just one week after this article.


The U.S. Army is interested in giving each of its soldiers a smartphone, and may give them a choice between Apple's iPhone or one running Google Android.

Army officials visited Apple's campus in Cupertino, Calif., earlier this year to discuss the company's forthcoming products. The organization has shown interest for some time in embracing Apple's products, with officials in May noting that the "it just works" philosophy of the company caught the Army's eye.

In 2008, it was revealed that the military had employed custom iPods for on-the-spot translating in Iraq. The new method offered soldiers the ability to translate with technology a fraction of the size and cost of the previously utilized technology.

The Army has also used Macs in its IT infrastructure to deter potential hacking attempts, and in 2009 implemented Apple hardware for video surveillance installations. The Mac hardware was selected, officials said, for security purposes.

1,851 individuals have donated a total $117,451! Another 380 supporters have given $30,001 directly to Bradley's legal trust account. (Updated: 1am PST Dec. 21, 2010)

Bradley Manning's total legal defense will cost about $100,000. We have transferred $80,000 towards that expense so far, are in the process making additional transfers, and are committed to funding the total needed.

Said as fact but once again not a jot of information to back it up.

RUSH: Everybody is freaking out over this WikiLeaks stuff. . . . I think it's more interesting than the news the networks come up with each and every day. Give me more of this stuff. For example, we have learned that the Saudis, our friends the Saudis, they're all ticked off at us because we won't go take out Iran. Apparently, prior to the big Cairo speech, Obama went over there, met with King Abdullah, and Obama's going on and on and on about how important it is to find peace with the Palestinians and the Israelis. Apparently King Abdullah couldn't care less about any of that. He's worried about Iran and its nukes, and he wants to hear from Obama what we're gonna do about that.

No real mystery there.

You won't find Rush talking about any of the leaks that don't support his position. And his enthralled flock will never find them for themselves either.

Nordic wrote:Yeah, and thats exactly what you'd expect to happen in this case.

In the same way people should check what material gets leaked to wikileaks or cryptome or anywhere, to any journalist or politician. They leakl documents.

What you do with the documents is up to you, but failing to check them if there is something important you are relying on....

Even the unedited video from last year isn't really enough information to make an informed judgement on what happened. Especially for a legal verdict. It'd need to backed up by hearing the witness evidence from all sides.

If wikileaks is legit the US govt (secret or otherwise) is never gonna get rid of it because they will never know when a leak that will benefit them might come along.

Its an open source intelligence project and as such the info it provides could come from anywhere and benefit anyone.

And when its all over the game has been ratcheted up another level ?

Plutonia ? Mr Riddler ? Mr Pilger ? Anyone ?
