The Horrible Truth - #wikileaks

If you have ever wondered what Wikileaks and Julian Assange have done for the US to go after them in such a heavy handed manner - then consider this.

Wikileaks is mostly about exposing the corrupt, illegal and warlike behaviour of the US.  Behaviour that their government undertakes in the name of freedom and democracy and god.

But as we have seen, the true nature of the place is to suppress the poor, encourage the right wing and the rich, manipulate their own and everyone else's democracy and engage in continuous war.

Their media - led by Uncle Rupert's Fox News - is a large part of the deception and their elites resent the intrusion of Wikileaks and Assange who has exposed the horrible truth to the world.

US bad habits and dirty laundry have been exposed - and they don't like that very much.

So naturally they are trying to shoot the messenger - and they have enlisted their client states around the world in support of that goal.

In the case of Australia what we are seeing is the government of a piddling little middle power fall over themselves to demonstrate their support for "Uncle Sam".

Mark Latham had a colourful phrase for it - "A Conga line of Suckholes".

Let me ask if you think that is good for our democracy?

PS - I missed this earlier - but well worth a read.
