Sue Durnim Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 I agree with some world leaders that have said it is basically ?propaganda? and ?misinformation?, by the powers that be in the USA, it?s not really important. I am sure that the more important things we should know, we will never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Cant say I'm suprised at all by them as I haven't bothered listening to the news or reading about it. Zzzzzzzz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted December 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Well, the way the founder of Wikileaks is being pursued, is a revalation, if one were needed. as to where real power in the world resides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazj Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 If his revelations cause the death of one operative from any of the "friendly" nations then he is a traitor and should be brought to book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 I recon he will 'disappear' and maybe not through choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Durnim Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 If his revelations cause the death of one operative from any of the "friendly" nations then he is a traitor and should be brought to book How and why was he given this information, I thought the powers that be had a strangled hold on 'TOP SECRET' information, is there a reason why such leaks appear in the public domain or is it a matter of 'Words of Mass Distraction' meant to confuse and make remarks to bring issues to the forefront of governments and people of the world to justify something more sinister?....just a thought.

observer Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 The leaks to-date amount to little more than Diplomatic tittle tattle; highly embarrassing, but not dangerous. What they do show, and why this guy will be hunted to extinction, is the real thoughts and motivations behind the smiling masks of diplomacy, and the realisation that world peace is an illusion and conflict a permanent state of mankind.

Sha Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 I think Sue has it in "Words of Mass Distraction" but I don't think its to bring things to the forefront but rather to distract the public from other matters. There are a lot of conspiracy theories going about re the 9/11 explosions which embarrassingly for the Americans are being backed by top scientists, engineers etc who are calling for a full investigation. Details on 9/11 truth.com. (It makes for worrying reading!) Perhaps the tittle tattle on Wikileaks is an attempt to give the impression that nations are more divided than some actually might be? and there's also the possibility that discord has been caused between some other nations...but 'unintentionally'? Warmongering??? Don't you think the reactions of some of those slagged off was somewhat unusual? Also don't you think it strange (if these were genuine 'leaks') that the Australian hasn't been captured and silenced by now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted December 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 The Yanks are scratching their heads to decide if this guy has actually committed a crime or not: some argue that by publishing confidential material he has breached the US criminal code; but so too, have many newspapers who have published the info from wikileaks - SO, bit of a legal minefield eh?!

observer Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Believe the Yanks have a problem with their "first ammendment", which, unlike us, prohibits them from having an "official secrets act". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 The original Leaker - is in military prison - probably forever. The head of WikiLeaks is in jail or out on bail. I do feel that if anyone dies because of these leaks - it is treason and they should be shot. But then that my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Firstly, he can't commit treason if he isn't a citizen of that country. Secondly, WikiLeaks didn't leak the document, they published it. Thirdly, I thought we all believed in freedom of speech. Attempts to control the internet or shut down web sites puts us on a par with China. IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teessidewire Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I find it a source of real amusement that the Wikileaks founder is now condemning The Guardian, the newspaper who published his leaks, and no doubt paid him a large sum for doing it, as they have now published leaked information re the alleged sex offences he is wanted for in Sweden. You can't have your cake and eat it, Mr Assange. Who is this man anyway? Terrible delusions of adequacy if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 Think he's the bloke who published sensitive information that our Governments didn't want us to know about; and now they'll try anything to get him behind bars - or in the USA, in the electric chair!

Jerry Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 I'm with Obs, Wolfie, and Lt. Kije. Didn't know Assange was an Aussie, but knew that he was NOT a USA citizen so calling his exposes treason is nonsense. I like transparency, and it seems that almost ANY government document is labeled Top Secret for no good reason at all. Just to be on the safe side maybe. Whoever thinks he's endangered a secret agent somewhere is delusional. Ever since George W and Dick Chaney OUTED Valerie Plame -- and been given a free pass by Obama -- anything goes.

observer Posted December 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 Don't worry Jezz - "the Queen's English" went awry many moons ago, mainly due to your fellow countrymen - who seem to use upper case vowels, where we use lower case ones! EI: EYErak and iraq ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
