Brilliant article - not enough people are questioning the existence and intent of Wikileaks. This all may be just evidence that the governments/handlers have learned to use Social Media in order to spread their agenda. It goes without saying that we shouldn't blindly accept the content just because it was 'leaked'. Disinformation has been used by governments/spies for a long time. note; the latest info to be 'leaked' involves ufos. Ask yourself what would it take for the average person to really believe in the existence of ufos and how would this be useful to the powers that be. For a reference, look up the Ronald Reagan ufo speech where he discusses the 'possibility of Earth uniting against a threat by "a power from outer space."

Exactly..I think the UFO thing is a total distraction. This whole wikileaks thing is really making me upset, especially with the Truth Movement. Shouldn't we be questioning EVERYTHING and it doesn't seem like that is happening here. The movement isn't really standing by its' standards in regards to the idea of questioning everything. We don't know who this guy is and we defiantly don't know if we can trust him or his sources and the reason why this is happening.

Either way though information is getting out there, and some of that information is very important stuff..but that doesn't mean people shouldn't be concerned on WHY and HOW this information is getting released.

It really is all massive confusion at this point..and I think I will be staying on top of the fence on this issue and stand back to see what happens. I don't believe the man should be in jail though, I believe if he is in jail that it is going to get closer and closer to the US Governments (criminal element inside the Government) crackdown. This is the first time I really don't know what to think...yet. It's still to early to jump on the bandwagon with Assange..because he still is just a stranger in the street to us all.

I have no response because I think that honestly sums it all up. very strong points and something that everyone who reads this should take into consideration instead of following the herd, even within the Truth Movement.

If you agree with this post you need to UPVOTE NOW!

Great article man. I am also weary of Wikileaks..I believe that if he was such a threat, and this wasn't a controlled opposition the CIA would have taken this dude out the second he stepped on the scene. He has to many CIA Connections for me to brush off..I don't know.. I am still on the fence. Just because he is being obtained right now doesn't mean he doesn't work, or is an informant for the CIA, and the CIA does do work worldwide. I think I am going down the route of him being some type of Patsy in a sense. A way and an excuse for the US Government to begin their final crackdown, specifically dealing the Internet, and massive censorship of information that is being displayed to the public via the Cyber Security Act.

You can read in the Patriot Act, the definition of a Domestic Terrorist..it's extremely vague but comes down to basically anyone who alters the thought of the public. So under the US Patriot Act, anyone who would spread this information in the US and be a US Citizen could be labeled a Domestic Terrorist under the US Patriot Act. I think they are ready to start implementing that because of recent up-rise. Certain Movements are beginning to grab some serious ground in the US and let's just say those Movements are not FOR or SUPPORTING the Current Gestapo that is in place.

They know they can't just come out and start cracking down seriously on these Movements..they need an excuse and a reason. This could be their reason. I don't know man but I loved your article. Great Job.

I'm actually really stoked on this post. It's great to see other people out there that haven't stopped asking questions regardless of what Wikileaks is doing. I think that is the major point here..NEVER STOP QUESTIONING.

the way I see it, wikileaks could just be making people believe that they are "exposing" the worst things the gov is doing but in reality it's just a fraction of the whole thing, so now ppl are like yeah they killed a few civilians, but they are sorry, move along. I don't know, it's very confusing

Well said, but it brought up another question for me.

With all of the "hacker-terrorists" downloading the insurance file, how do we know that the file itself doesn't contain a virus or something along those lines that would aide in the internet-kill switch?

Assange dies, the code is released. Everyone opens it expecting awesome information, turns out they killed the internet.

How do we know that YOU are not a plant by the CIA who's purpose is to spread fear and doubt about wikileaks to try and soften its blows?

hahah..really? As you can see all of us that are talking about Wikileaks aren't saying anything for sure. We are discussing certain possibilities..I am just a dude from California. Now maybe if I had a website that was releasing massive amount of classified documents and my life was going down the same route as Assange..then maybe I could understand the logic behind your idiotic and brainless comment.

So you're the only ones that can play the "what if" game?

and as mrsnakers pointed out above, what I have seen so far of the wikileaks content seems pretty tame. there is no mention of anything that could really affect the us govt in terms of legalities (eg abuse of political prisoners) or public opinion. When I first heard of wikileaks I expected the cables might touch upon such issues as HAARP, CIA mind control ops (eg project monarch/bluebird), political intervention in the third world, 'health' experiments on the poor and vulnerable. But instead all i've come across are some derogatory comments re foreign leaders/politicians. This information is more embarrassing than inflamatory and not particularly dangerous for the us govt particularly if the elites of most countries are in cahouts as many suspect. They should call it wikigossip.

Do you know how many people already told me.. "Wait you are saying that 9/11 was an inside job and that a criminal element within our own Government has their own agenda against the people and are working towards a new world order..yet you aren't backing up Wikileaks.."

I've just been shaking my head at the entire situation. I never realized how quick people are to jump on board with something without even really looking into who this dude is or anything..they just see "WIkileaks to leak thousands of classified War Documents.." and they are automatically jumping right on board. It's like in Animal Farm with the Horse and the Glue Factory truck.

This post isn't really clear as he takes a long time to make any point. The mainstream media publishes these leaks because its the biggest leak since the Pentagon files. Its a big news story and it makes money.

Mrsnakers seems to assume that the US Gov is omnipotent and that Wikileaks is a grave threat to it. This is not true, the US Gov is fallible, and Wikileaks is only a threat to its CURRENT political & military leaders. This is nothing more then good journalism, and political leaders getting scared and trying to cover up their mistakes. This is not a conspiracy.

...ok so basically what your saying is that the Mainstream media refuses to not cover tons of major news stories that could potentially make them truck loads of cash (Besides the billions they are receiving behind the doors like with GE and MSNBC)..but they decide to run this..

Did we not learn anything from this quote.. "The Central Intelligence Agency owns everyone of any significance in the major media." --William Colby former CIA Director.

Would the mainstream media publish any information that is going against the very same people who own them without an agenda? If we go off of that quote, I wouldn't think so.

I don't think anyone here is saying that WikiLeaks isn't a potential threat to anyone in our Government. It's who the blame is being placed on.

If you look at the first wave of released documents, for the most part, and what was ran on the mainstream news was all blame being placed on the Military and about Military War Crimes, and also tons of Foreign Leaders "pressuring the US" to start wars, (ex. Saudi Arabia pressuring US to attack IRAN). Do we ever read anything in these documents about the Elite? No.

The second wave is going to deal with a Major US Bank. Well let's just say that comes out and the big us bank (probably bank of America based on past interviews with Assange)..if Bank of America (or another bank) falls..the money they currently hold goes somewhere..I am guessing the Federal Reserve..I could be wrong about that, but I am pretty sure that's where the holdings would go. If that is the case..well haha..the feds would profit majorly off the release of those documents.

Also the second wave will deal with UFOs...yeah nothing much to say about that except another major distraction from the shadow government that is running this country..I mean do you really think a revolution will start over our Government hiding information about fucking aliens? I think not.

I think what people have to do now, is look at who will profit or gain from the release of these documents. Again, we are not saying any of this is 100% true, as you can tell we are just discussing the possibility of it being so, and sadly I think it is going down the right track.

It's a crazy world brother and you can't trust anyone..I am really stoked that I found this post. Most people I have been talking to so far, even people within the movement can't believe why I am not 100% down with Wikileaks.

I agree, how else can you explain why every news channel (at least in my country) carries the exact same news every day, mostly non-newsworthy material with a tendency towards a combination of sex and violence (social conditioning-this needs its own post) peppered with celebrity 'news'. There is virtually no point in viewing the news except to be aware of what they are currently trying to sell. I believe that wikileaks has an agenda to undermine public opinion in the world's govts (esp america) and that when opinion is at rock bottom and we are at a state of martial law, mass protests, strikes etc, the 'cavalry' will turn up to save the day, ie New World Order. except they will be the exact same people who are running the show right now, they will just have more powers; powers that we will have given them. A good reference for this is Ayn Rand - Atlas Shrugged.

I had to throw this in here..

“I’m constantly annoyed that people are distracted by false conspiracies such as 9/11, when all around we provide evidence of real conspiracies, for war or mass financial fraud.” - Assange

You believe someone that says stuff like that. No real evidence of 9/11 being an inside job? wow, yeah he is all about breaking government secrecy.

I agree that the points in your post are valid.

However, look at the speed at which everything is moving. It's too fast. Five years ago, everything you mentioned would be possible, even easy to orchestrate. Not anymore.

Follow the twitter accounts of Anon and the LOIC and Op Payback etc... it really is a Hivemind and that can't be controlled.

I think that a lot of things have been happening coincidentally but the real life version of it is how it's being played out. There's no conspiracy about WikiLeaks.

Ok, but why do you say there is no "Conspiracy" behind WikiLeaks? I understand that Assange is not the only person that is behind Wikileaks, we know that. But he is the face.

Should we just drop everything and follow him because of what is happening? I think that is what we are trying to get across.

i work for a company that uses cloud searches and social media to track and influence customer opinion - it can and does happen very quickly - i'm not saying I can guarantee there is or is not a wikileaks conspiracy, just that we should be open to every possibility. to my mind this is a form of marketing and it would not be too hard to predict how people would react to certain situations. We have 2 full-time people working in this area. The governments could have hundreds-thousands monitoring/manipulating social media.

That's not the point.

HE doesn't matter; it's the message. Notice no one's calling him a martyr?

I understand what your saying. But if he is corrupt, that means the "message" must be looked at to see if it is or isn't legit.

Everything released makes sense though. Everyone is looking for the excuse to side with the gov't (which is natural) but for once in our lives we're being given cold hard fact; we're not used to it.

What we are used to is the tricks by gov't, which is what we are expecting from WikiLeaks. But the thing is, if it's a trick, the gov't is still definitely the bad side of this.

And that very distinction that you can gather between the two is what splits the party lines. It's like a loop with many different possible shapes and sizes, but if you can find the connection where it all starts going around again, you realize the big picture.

I dunno if that made sense to you. Smoke some weed and you'll be enlightened to the truth.

I actually never look for an excuse to side with our Government. I am not siding with our Government and what they do ever. I don't think anyone here on the post so far is looking for a way to side with our Government. As far as I can tell everyone on this post is already against what the current administration is doing.
