With WikiLeaks on the mind, i only have one thing to say.
Julian Assange is a naive coward.
What this man is doing is not justice; or at least not any morally righteous form of it. To say that this man is a hero, and that "wikileaks" is a revolutionary organization is both naive, and boarding on unintelligent. For one man to think that he can take on the world, and even more the U.S. government, is absurd. In fact, doubly absurd based on the fact that he of all people should know what our government is capable of. Last time i checked, we do not live in a country in which our government sits idly by and lets men with "doctor evil complexes" call the shots. And to say that Assange is above the U.S. government; well, that is plain absurd.
Furthermore, thousands of people say that this man is a genius; and sure, i'll give you that. He has been given the support of the liberal lunatics living in our very own country, he has managed to receive hundreds of thousands of confidential documents from governments around the world; while simultaneously avoided being arrested, killed, or worse. So yes, i will give you that he is smart. However, was not Adolf Hitler also a genius. The man who is often considered the most evil man in the history of mankind, the man who brought the world to its knees during WWII; he was a genius. He was supported and put into power by the very same people that came to hate him. Are we (and by saying we i am referring to all those hippy, un-trusting people out there) making the same mistake? Adolf Hitler had this said "doctor evil complex;" he sought to take over the world via war. Who is to say that Assange will not do the same.
WikiLeaks is a mistake. History is suppose to be about learning from the past in order to bring about a brighter tomorrow. Yet, we are not doing this. You may be reading this saying 'this is just one mans opinion' perhaps thinking that i am a little radical in my ideas, my thoughts on the issue. But, is there anyway to fight radical, but through being radical. I am not making a call to arms, or trying to bring about some sort of crazy riot. This is not a tea party, this is real life.
WikiLeaks should not be putting the things that they are in the light. Sure, i find it interesting to read and see what is actually happening in our government. But i should not have that luxury. I firmly believe that it is our governments job to lie to us; to not share the whole truth. And it is my job as a citizen to trust them; and i do. Many people believe that "These “leaks” have changed the way residents view their countries and show how much citizens should trust their governments." They are right. Julian Assange, and WikiLeaks is putting an end to whatever shred of nationalism was left in this world. Without that, where will we be? Perhaps in some sort of censored state similar to what occurs in China. For certain, i don't know..
In closing, i feel that perhaps Mr. Assange should read a little less Orwell, and start thinking a little bit more.
