You would think that the Manhattan Project was uncovered given the unbelievable attitude the US has had toward the latest round of leaked secret documents. Who exactly they were secret from is unclear as almost everything leaked has been reported on this blog and numerous others. The Saudis don't like Iran? No, can't be. Except for the fact that sites like DEBKA and Jane's have reported the same info months ago and summarized later here. The State department used spies for diplomatic affairs? That's only the basis for almost every spy movie for the past twenty years. This mock outrage is bull. The real reason they're pissed is their dirty laundry is being exposed for everyone to see and I for one say good. The secrecy of this world has to end with almost total transparency to end the lies. The US deserves some of the blame as the Wikileaks founder contacted the government to ask them which papers contain really sensitive info, stuff that might get someone killed. Our response was "all of it." No further contact was needed was it? Instead of rationally looking at this, the US acted like a petulant child throwing a temper tantrum. And now we are in time out from the rest of the world. To be honest, I am somewhat torn about the whole deal. On one hand, lives could be in real danger and exposing CI's is good for nobody. On the other hand, we the people have a right to all this info you've been keeping from us for no good reason other than you can. A more honest dialogue will help everyone. But instead we get more threats and possible arrests for what I have no idea. Technically, he hasn't broken any laws. But if this goes to the Corporate Kangaroo Court will they overturn the 1971 ruling on the Pentagon Papers? They probably will, ending free speech once and for all in the country. Our Constitution is being dismantled bit by bit. We no longer have a right to anything but the second admendment and thank god for that. The minute they go for our guns is when open revolt will happen.
In a further attempt to gain the people's trust back, every politician should enter into a Pledge With Your Constituents. This pledge will be legally binding and force any politician to follow through with 75% of their campaign promises. They don't all have to pass but he has to have tried in good faith. Any politician not attempting to pass 75% of his promises within a set period of time, which would depend on the office, a recall will be set and that person will be removed from office and never be allowed to run for anything ever again. If we do this we remove all the lies we have to suffer through which seems to be every politician at this point. This will never pass mind you but I do like it. The world is coming to a close I fear and anything we do will be too little too late. Watch the skies.
