Wikileaks is all over the news right now. Julian Assange has been arrested on rather obscure sexual crimes allegations. At the same time his organisation has continued to release thousands upon thousands of classified documents. Personally, I admire the man. He has obtained these documents and chosen to release them to the world. They have told us a lot about the Iraq war, they have told us a lot about how the diplomatic world works, they have also further enhanced my critical viewpoints regarding America, the most corrupt crony capitalist state in the world. And also told us how dictatorships in the middle east want to invade Iran, but fail to tell us that most of the middle eastern populations actually view Israel and America as the biggest threats to the region

Apparently we have documents concerning the Bank of America next, which will further validate the claim that the greatest fraud ever commited has been covered up by our governments. Well, not really. Anyone who knows anything knows that mass fraud has been commited and that working people are now being made to pay for it. Austerity anyone? A total sham. But that's the line we are being fed. "We are all in it together". No we aren't. They have been bailed out and now the rest of society is paying for it. Ireland, Spain, Italy, America, Britain....all facing austerity measures? For what? These people did nothing wrong.

So sure, stick Assange behind bars. But the real criminals are running free. There have been no prosecutions for this massive fraud that caused the crisis. But I am digressing, Mastercard and other payment agencies have decided to attack Wikileaks too by cutting off any transactions. Furthermore, the wikileaks site is under constant attack by groups trying to shut off their website.

I look at this as a serious assault on the freedom of information and the freedom of speech. We have someone as ridiculous as Sarah Palin suggestion that Assange be treated as though he were the leader of the Taliban. What? He should be assasinated by the US military? America has lost the plot. Good luck with her as the next president! I look upon Wikileaks as a valuable and important resource and more so in a world where the US media is so lacking. We need this.

So what are your view on wikileaks? Are you for or against it?
