This entire "Wikileaks" theasco is an engineered attack on the American citizen 1st amendment rights! Just think about it. To start with, someone somewhere in some office is responsible for keeping very sensitive information secure. If this person fails to do their job it is a BIG DEAL! I can assure you that NOTHING gets out of the Pentagon unless someone wants it out. How coincidental to read a news story yesterday about how Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor was telling a group of students how Wikileaks case will result in the Court likely weighing the First Amendment against national security. Sounds like tradeing freedom for security to me, I seem to remember someone from the past warning us about that.

In my lifetime, the US has raided, bombed, provoked coups, financed and trained terrorists against Cuba, financed and organized subversion and assasinations of Presidents in more than 50 countries. While the US preaches the world about democracy, they assasinated president Allende from Chile and placed one of the worst genocidians of history, Pinochet and kept him in power for more than 40 years and got away without ever being trialed so long he kept pro USA economic policies. President Torrijos from Ecuador was assasinated as he was implementing a socialist policy, president Roldos from Panama was assasinated because he refused to be bribed, the orange revolution (pamarrencheva revolutsia) in Ukraine was financed and organised by the US organisations, the Supreme Court in Kiev was extortionated to overturn the results of the elections in 2005, placing Timoshenko as a pro NATO president, making her one of the richests persons in the world. They tried again to forge the results of the elections in 2010 but this time the events were so scandalous that the were let down by the international community and failed to displace Yanukovich. They financed and trained terrorists in Georgia against Russia and even trained the Talibans against Russia in the past. The history is so long that I could (and in fact have) written a book about it. That is, the USA is the materialization of evil in its purest essence. Who runs the country is all well known. Presidents are just puppets for the social mass, to give them the impression they are electing someone. Obama is no different from Eddy Murphy. A comedian who reads the script someone has written for him, while he gesturizes with his index finger as he has been taught to do. The US has no shame in preaching about democracy, when the political parties are financed by private corporations. Every candidate for presidency must collect 500 million dollars for his campaign, and therefore he will be obliged for life.

Back in 1989 Russia had already introduced clever economic strategies to relaunch its production implementing some tools of market and competition, and even at that time the economic growth index was 7% far more than it is the West today. But the US was not going to have that, bribering one of the worst traitors of history, Gorbachov, and key agents in the Kremlin the whole plan was dismantled. Once that happened the IMF took over and enforced unregulated privatisation, astronomic inflation and a crude tax policy sinking Russia into absolute despair where tens of millions of families went to misery and desperation. That is what the US wanted. Once there, American companies would settle in the country to buy out Russias resources and companies and installing their own in there in order to take the money from Russia back to the US.The next plan was to surround Russia by NATO basis, in the South, Georgia, Ukraine, Poland, and Estonia. That is the plan. They placed a puppet Yeltsin and felt they were safe until they were surprised by his resignation as Putin was going to take over after Dec 31,1999. That was not what the US wanted! Puttin grabbed the country again and rose the glory of Russia (slaba Rassii!) to its feet. Now wikileaks is uncovering to the public the evil policy of the US and the means used.Therefore, as they cannot do what they did to other presidents, the strategy is now to discredit him as a person, and use the Mainstream Media which belongs to them, to disqualify any organization by however means possible.However, Internet is making that difficult, because the ordinary citizen can provide and receive information to and from any source, thus, breaking the monopoly the Big Brother has been holding to date.That is why they want Wikileaks out and forever and will attack their reputation in any way possible.But I want to have hope, the ordinary person is beginning to wake up to this, for the first time in history.

I wonder how long Mr Assange will survive this, because he's a thorn in the flesh of the powerful. All the best wishes to him and WIKILEAKS!
