....i have taken the liberty to share some words with you from a website i like to read every once in a while. if you would like to read the whole article, you can find it on the NIA's website: http://inflation.us/wikileaks.html
"[The] NIA is deeply disturbed by how U.S. politicians and the mainstream media have been calling for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to be charged with treason. Some people in Washington are even calling for the assassination of Assange like he is some kind of a terrorist, all because he helped spread the truth about our country's foreign policy and other sensitive topics. The U.S. is in very serious trouble if it has now become a crime to speak the truth.
In recent years with the help of the Internet, there has been a rise in alternative media sites that speak the truth, while the mainstream media has simultaneously experienced collapsing television ratings and newspaper circulation levels...Americans today have an appetite for the truth. For decades, Americans were brainwashed into believing anything the mainstream media said as the truth...
The politicians and corporate elites who control the media are becoming very scared. Although NIA is not a supporter of Assange, we are a supporter of constitutional rights and there is no more important constitutional right than our freedom of speech. If Americans don't take a stand now to protect their freedom of speech, the U.S. government soon might make it a crime...

If there is one American who deserves to be charged with treason, it is Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. Bernanke, this past Sunday on '60 Minutes', outright lied to the American public when he said that the Federal Reserve isn't printing money. Less than two years earlier on the same television program, Bernanke admitted that the Federal Reserve is printing money.
However, back then, nobody was questioning the Federal Reserve's actions. Thanks to alternative media organizations that have worked tirelessly to help expose the Federal Reserve's dangerous and destructive actions, Americans are starting to finally question the Federal Reserve and Bernanke is now clearly on the defensive. ...
Bernanke's misinformation campaign is similar to what took place in Weimar Germany in the 1920s when they experienced hyperinflation. In Weimar Germany, the misinformed public always focused on rising prices, but never understood that prices were rising because the German Mark was losing its purchasing power.
The Germans believed that there was a shortage of Marks and it was therefore necessary to print as many marks as possible. Germans placed all of the blame for their crisis on the symptoms of inflation. They blamed greedy tourists, selfish industrialists and profiteers, the wage demands of laborers, speculators in Germany who were buying foreign currencies and sending their wealth out of the country, and other nations that were buying up German assets with foreign currencies. They failed to grasp that it was their government's own printing of Marks and increasing the money supply that caused the inflationary disease.
... he [Bernanke] claims to have the tools to unwind the Federal Reserve's massive asset purchases. He is trying to trick the world into believing that he has the ability to pinpoint an exact time in which the U.S. economy is recovering without massive price inflation, where he can exit his inflationary strategy before prices start to dramatically rise. Bernanke has no exit strategy that he can implement without sending the U.S. economy into the next Great Depression."
well, fuck. ...so our only option is to take things back into our own hands, true freedom of speech, i'm with the whistler blowers -- the world is twisted, sister.

First, I'll admit that I am not completely up to speed with what is happening with Wikileaks, although from what I get from the news it would appear they are publishing a lot of material that not only the American government has problems with but also most of the EU and parts of Asia. I believe in freedom of speech, but I don't believe that every “yahoo” needs to know about the inner communications of the government or all the details concerning military strategy. It bothers me when things get published that puts our forces and/or diplomats at risk, and the latest release of possible terrorist targets is very disturbing to me. I realize some people spend a lot of there time pondering the possible conspiracies in the works, but I’m not sure publishing all this information is really the solution to the problem. That being said, I don’t know what the solution is… but I’m sure everyone is thinking twice before writing an email/text/report these days (knowing that the whole world might get to read it) and I just hope Wikileaks is taking the same care with what they publish.
ReplyDeletewell, i don't care much for any gossip that was 'leaked' about people in the spotlight, that's just trash, but i do think the world needs whistle blowers when it comes to corruption in corporations (since they usually affect so many lives) and also in politics. they government is supposed to be working for us, if you remember we call ourselves a democracy (ha!), so it should be transparent. if u think that other countries don't know what we, as in, canada, is 'secretly' planning....well, i think with globalization having come as far as it has, all leaders are in the same boat together. the only ones not in on it, are we, the people....
