in today’s Democracy Now, it is reported that the US State Dept sent out memos to universities, warning political science students against posting wikileaks links on Facebook if they hope to get a job in the federal service in the future. Also, USAID just notified all of its employees not to access wikileaks at work or from home. Tyrannical government is lashing out.
@Saker and @anonymous: The reaction of the US government has been priceless. It has Brezhnevian written all over it. State-side Hopium freaks are probably a hopeless case, but overseas this will help people get it. I read quotes from another cable on Germany this morning. The premier of the German State Rhineland-Palatinate gets bad grades for (a) not speaking English and (b) for apparently not seeing the US as an economic, social and political role-model. Tsk tsk… It is just priceless. Obama as the New Brezhnev of 2010, I like it. After the Neo-Cons, they Neo-Brezhnevians ruled…
Yes let’s give Wikileaks the widest attention possible instead of keeping a low profile and shut down his financial and information network or run a smear campaign against him prior to disclosure of the material.
Remember the mass media attention that Sibel Edmonds got?
There is absolutely nothing of interests in these “leaks” that you would not find more interesting info in the media.
I could think of a number of issues not covered in Wikileaks that you would expect that would be intriguing like terrorism suspects linked to British intelligence involved or conspired to do criminal attacks against the US for starters either shielded or protected from extradition and other major issues.
Also Masden reported that Wikileaks is an Israel operation and US might release info against Israel and a Mossad operation in Yemen and Netanyahu.
“WMR previously reported that Wikileaks, or “WikIsrael”, was part of a Mossad operation having links within the neocon and Israel Lobby apparatus of the United States government. Turkey has reasons to be suspicious of the leaks. Various leaked State Department cables suggested that Iran was helping Hamas and secretly helping Iran with its nuclear program.”
Makes a good point which I never really thought about.
“In fact, many of the leaked cables favoring Israel, hostile to Russia and China, or proving very embarrassing to President Obama appear to have been written in total or in part or contain quotes by political appointee or career Jewish diplomats with close ties to Israel and its lobby in the United States: U.S. ambassadors to Turkey Eric Edelman and James Jeffrey; Deputy Secretary of State James B. Steinberg; U.S. ambassador to Brazil Clifford Sobel; U.S. charge d’affaires in Saudi Arabia Michael Gfoeller; Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs Philip H. Gordon; ambassador-at-large Daniel Fried; U.S. ambassador to Canada David Jacobson; among others.”
In fact I did notice that in the cables regarding Russia individuals with Jewish-Israeli and Israeli citizenship ties with cables on Georgia and Chechnya are not referenced at all.
Amazingly no mention of Berezovsky’s well know connection to Chechen mafia and jihadists with connection to Khattab and Basayeav or for that matter the Georgian Jewish Oligarch who died in London who I forgot his name.
By the way the Wikipedia entry on Assange has been edited since either yesterday or a few hours ago where an extract from a quote he said thanking the groups involved with his work in Kenya.
I am pretty sure one was the Mars Groups and I am pretty sure I have heard that name before somewhere.

Surely the one thing guaranteed to make everyone click on to Wikileaks is this attempt by the government to suppress it.

I wish RT would bring Masden on to talk about it.
