Politics & public life appear to be:
* smoke & mirrors for private interests
* hi-jacked globally by Big Corpa (check 18 millionaires in British 'austerity' cabinet)
* super-eager to attribute 'persona non gratia' status to very 'public' Big Wiki as he broadcasts very 'public' information to public in very 'public' 'sort of way'
...respect!, Julian Assange!, you are a giant!
Respect indeed.
ReplyDeleteAll this has done has shown politicians to be the two-faced marionettes we've suspected they were. They only want Assange's head because he's embarrassed them with - shock horror - the truth!
More transparency is exactly what we need if we expect anyone to trust anyone else. It will only make the world a better place.

Paul, your intentions are clear!!! - unlike those of our vacillating politicians
