WikiLeaks/Assange Exploiting Global Discontent over Corporate and Government Corruption

The media, by conscious design or by nature, regularly whips culture into a frenzy; it is entirely in character for this to occur. However, when this social phenomenon occurs it is easy to lose sight of the REAL engines that drive the ‘beast.’

We all tend to ascribe to individuals what are essentially cultural phenomena. Now think for a moment, and recall the massive public discontent, particularly in Europe, over the Wall St instigated global economic collapse and the flagrant flouting of international LAW and convention by America over the past decade – the US continues to murder innocent civilians almost daily in Drone strikes. Need we mention its torture record or its illegal kidnappings and detention, euphemistically termed ‘extraordinary rendition’ -- never forget, the first casualty of War is LANGUAGE. [Watch for un/subtle linguistic changes and the entire sordid mess reveals itself!]

The media is both a tool and a RESOURCE, for those smart enough and able enough to manipulate it, Julian Assange has proven himself a most formidable social engineer in that regard; the man has done what neither the Soviet Empire nor any other opposing group, force or nation has been able to accomplish since America took global ascendancy after WWII. Put simply a lone Aussie has got the world’s leading superpower on the ‘back foot,’ and as all strategists are aware, once you have your opponent on the back foot or RE-ACTING to you, the game is all but won.

Now consider how this lone Aussie has marshalled the common people and enlisted the support of personages higher on the social scale by EXPLOITING EXISTING social discontent over the inequities and unfairness of our T-I-M-E, ‘his’ time!

With all the deftness of a magician, Assange has orchestrated the most decisive and effective attack on the CRIMINAL USA in history – no minor feat I would add. However, as any analyst worth his salt would inform you, there is nothing magical about Mr Assange, he is as pragmatic a strategist as they come. He has simply furnished the world with information it already possesses, most of which continues to be freely available in the public domain. However, Assange was able to market it so expertly people could detect what he was doing but were unable to stop him and the more they tried, the more it played into Assange’s hands – rustic America deserves everything it is about to receive, no doubt, and I regret (for America) to say it has only just begun! You are going down, and how very sweet, for Democracy and the Rule of Law, it is!

We should never lose sight of the fact that this is largely a global social phenomenon against corruption and brazen criminality in high places and that Assange is simply a man of his times playing the situation like a virtuoso violinist! Go get ‘em, Julian, no matter what they do, they lose – PERFECT!

The GLOBAL POPULATION desires nothing more than the elimination of all criminal elites, and for Democracy or ‘REPRESENTATIVE MAJORITY RULE’ and the RULE of LAW to be RESTORED. The people will rally behind ANY person that appears to be SUCCEEDING in that regard -- expert analysts are aware that there is a certain inevitability to the whole 'Assange' process.

We would encourage everyone to become more socially active and aware and never to take anything at face value. REAL Freedom is earned, never bestowed!

Have a nice day.
