Wikileaks Is The “Cognitive Infiltration” Operation Demanded by
Cass Sunstein

Webster G. Tarpley
Tarpley.net
January 22, 2011

Awareness is growing around the world that the Wikileaks-Julian Assange
theater of the absurd is radically inauthentic – a psyop. Wikileaks and its
impaired boss represent a classic form of limited hangout or self-exposure, a
kind of lurid striptease in which the front organization releases doctored and
pre-selected materials provided by the intelligence agency with the intent of
harming, not the CIA, nor the UK, nor the Israelis, but rather such classic CIA
enemies’ list figures as Putin, Berlusconi, Karzai, Qaddafi, Rodriguez de
Kirchner, etc. In Tunisia, derogatory material about ex-President Ben Ali leaked
by Wikileaks has already brought a windfall for Langley in the form of the rare
ouster of an entrenched Arab government.

Obama White House NSC Russia Director
Michael McFaul Deploying IMF Shock Therapist Boris Nemtsov as Wheelhorse
of Feeble “Stop Putin in 2012″ Bid.

At Foggy Bottom and Langley, a manic fit has been building since the flight
of Ben Ali. US imperialist planners now believe they can re-launch their
shopworn model of the color revolution, CIA people-power coup, or postmodern
putsch against a whole series of countries in the Arab world and far beyond,
including Italy. The color revolutions had been looking tarnished lately, as a
result of the failure of the Twitter Revolution in Iran back in June 2009.
Previously, the Cedars Revolution of 2005 had failed in Lebanon. The Orange
Revolution in Ukraine had been rolled back with the ouster of NATO-IMF
kleptocrats Yushchenko and Timoshenko. In Georgia, the Roses Revolution was
increasingly discredited by the repressive and warmongering regime of fascist
madman Saakashvili.

US Seeks to Mobilize a New Generation of Young Nihilists Across the
Globe

But now, NSC, State, and CIA believe that the color revolution has a new
lease on life, thanks to their estimate that the United States, because of
Wikileaks and Assange, has captured the imagination of a new generation of young
nihilists across the globe who are described as the post-9/11 generation,
estranged from governments and opposition parties, and thus ready to follow
Langley’s peroxide Pied Piper.

Assange started his intensive deployment phase this year with video of a
Class A US war crime in Iraq, which was very graphic but which dealt with an
incident which was already widely known. The second document dump focused on
Iraq, but now the targeting had shifted to Prime Minister Maliki, and the
Iranian asset whom the US by some strange coincidence was trying to oust as
leader of Iraq in favor of the US puppet Allawi. With the third document dump,
this time involving State Department cables, we found out much derogatory gossip
about such classic CIA targets as Russian prime minister Putin, Italian Prime
Minister Berlusconi, the Russian-Italian strategic alliance, President Fernandez
de Kirchner of Argentina, and President Karzai of Afghanistan, along with jabs
at supposed US allies who need to be kept off-balance and dependent, including
the Saudi Arabian royal family, French President Sarkozy, and others. Wikileaks
thus directs the vast majority of its fire against figures who are part of the
CIA’s enemies list.

No Equal Time for CIA Covert Operations

Assange also provides a splendid pretext for draconian censorship and
limitations on the freedom of the internet. The totalitarian liberal Senator
Feinstein wants to bring back Woodrow Wilson’s infamous Espionage Act of 1917 in
honor of Assange. Assange must be seen not as an activist, not as a journalist,
and not as an entertainer, but rather as a spook. John Young of Cryptome,
according to some reports, has denounced Wikileaks, to which he formerly
belonged, as a CIA front. In
a December 29 RT interview, Young described the internet as “a very
large-scale spying machine.”1 The internet is indeed a vast battlefield, where
the intelligence agencies of the US-UK, China, Israel, Russia, and many others
clash every hour of the day, with commercial spies, hackers, anarchists,
cultists, mercenary trolls, and psychotics all getting into the act as well.
Intelligence agencies deliberately feed real and doctored material to various
websites, sometimes using their own disgruntled employees as cutouts, conduits,
and go-betweens. This means among other things that Bradley Manning cannot be
taken at face value, although it is also clear that he like anyone else should
not be tortured.

Assange is now famous, it might be argued. But the Wall Street controlled
media can make anyone famous, from Lady Gaga to Justin Bieber to Snooki, and
this is what they have done with Assange. It is wrong to capitulate to the
demagogic power of these media by making it appear that there might be some
legitimate value to Assange. Up to now, the CIA has been organizing color
revolutions using Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, and so forth as vehicles. Now they
think they have a cult figure whom they can sell to the youth bulge in the Arab
world and other developing countries, where most of the population is under 30.
This is an operation which must be exposed.

Most recently, Wikileaks has played a role in the CIA’s new “Jasmine
Revolution” in Tunisia by publishing some State Department cables about the
sybaritic luxury and lavish lifestyle of the Ben Ali clan, leading to the
downfall of that regime. The CIA is now gloating that with the help of Wikileaks
it can now topple all the Arab regimes at will, from Mubarak to Qaddafi to
Bouteflika, and replace them with new and more pliable puppets eager to clash
with Iran, Russia, and China

If Assange ever launches his much-touted doomsday machine against the Bank of
America or some other financial institutions, we will be justified in asking
that the Securities and Exchange Commission make public the extent of short
interest in those stocks by certain hedge funds, especially those controlled by
George Soros. And as far as Assange’s attacks on the Vatican are concerned, they
fit neatly into four centuries of British intelligence warfare against the Holy
See, going back to Guy Fawkes and Lord Robert Cecil’s Gunpowder Plot of 1605 and
beyond. Not much new or radical here.

Wikileaks: No Serious Derogatory Information about US, UK,
Israel

It is illuminating that none of Assange’s document dumps have revealed any
notable scandals involving Great Britain or Israel. No US public figures have
had to resign because of anything Wikileaks has done. No major ongoing covert
operation or highly placed agent of influence has been blown. After all these
months, there are still no US indictments against Assange, even though we know
that a US grand jury will readily indict a ham sandwich if the US Attorney
demands it. If the CIA had wanted to silence Assange, they could have subjected
him to the classic kidnapping aka rendition, meaning that he would have been
beaten, drugged, and carted off to wake up in a black site prison in Egypt,
Poland, or Guantanamo Bay. Otherwise, the CIA could have had recourse to the
usual extralegal wetwork. We must also assume that the new US Cybercommand with
its vast resources would have little trouble shutting down the Wikileaks mirror
sites, no matter how numerous they might be. The same goes for Anonymous and
other flanking organizations of Wikileaks. But these considerations are purely
fantastic. Assange emerges today as the pampered darling and golden boy of The
New York Times, Der Spiegel. The Guardian, El Pais — in short, of the entire
Anglo-American official media Wurlitzer. He reclines today in baronial splendor
in the country house of a well-connected retired British officer who should be
quizzed by the media about his ties to British intelligence. The radical-chic
world, from Bianca Jagger to Michael Moore, is at Assange’s feet.

Cass Sunstein Present at the Creation of Wikileaks

A d v e r t i s e m e n t

Wikileaks was apparently founded in 2006. Originally, the group was
programmed to attack China, and its board was heavily larded with fishy Chinese
dissidents and “democracy” activists from the orbit of the Soros foundations.
Interestingly, the first big publicity breakthrough for Wikileaks in the
mainstream US media was provided by an infamous totalitarian liberal today
ensconced in the Obama White House – none other than Cass Sunstein. In
Sunstein’s op-ed published in the Washington Post of February 24, 2007
under the title “Brave new Wikiworld,” we read: “Wikileaks.org, founded by
dissidents in China and other nations, plans to post secret government documents
and to protect them from censorship with coded software.” How interesting that
Sunstein was present at the creation of the new Wikileaks psywar operation!

This is the same Sunstein who today heads Obama’s White House Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs. In his January 2008 Harvard Law School
Working Paper entitled “Conspiracy Theories,” Sunstein infamously demanded that
the United States government deploy groups of covert operatives and
pseudo-independent agents of influence for the “cognitively infiltration of
extremist groups” – meaning organizations, activists and Internet websites who
espouse beliefs which Sunstein chooses to classify as “false conspiracy
theories.”

Wikileaks = Cass Sunstein’s Program for Cognitive Infiltration In
Action

It should be clear that Assange and Wikileaks are precisely the practical
realization of Sunstein’s program for “cognitive infiltration” shock troops to
counteract and overwhelm any real mass understanding of oligarchical domination
in the modern world, and any discussion of what kind of economic policies are
needed to secure a recovery from the present world depression.

In line with Sunstein’s recipe, Assange is a self-declared enemy of 9/11
truth. As Assange told Belfast Telegraph reporter Matthew Bell last July, “I’m
constantly annoyed that people are distracted by false conspiracies such as
9/11, when all around we provide evidence of real conspiracies, for war or mass
financial fraud.” In other words, Assange argues that the truth about 9/11 truth
is not nearly as radical as the various scandals which Wikileaks claims to
expose. But the scandals Assange is offering target mostly the adversaries of
the CIA.

Assange must also be seen as a deeply troubled individual and a possible
psychopath. He has the ravaged emotional complexion that we might expect from an
alumnus of one of the many MK-Ultra operations. He reportedly spent several
years in the menticidal Anne Hamilton-Byrne cult (also known as The Family and
Santiniketan) near Melbourne, Australia. Here little children were separated
from their parents and made to ingest LSD, Anatensol, Diazepam, Haloperidol,
Largactil,
Mogadon, Serepax, Stelazine,
Tegretol, Tofranil, and
other potent psychopharmaca. Dozens of children were told that Hamilton-Byrne
was their real mother, and had their hair dyed blond. Anne Hamilton-Byrne
reportedly regarded blond hair as a sign of racial superiority. Careful
observers will have noted that Assange’s hair is sometimes blond, sometimes more
brownish, raising the question of whether his grooming practices are a residue
of his time with Hamilton-Byrne, whom he says he does not remember. When other
kids were getting cookies and milk, was Assange being lobotomized by LSD and
other potent psychopharmaca dished up by Hamilton-Byrne? There is evidence
pointing in that direction.

With Assange, we thus have the tragic spectacle of the emotionally mutilated
product of a CIA (or MI-6) covert operation of 40 years ago, who has now been
given a prominent role in a key counter-insurgency ploy of the present time.
Will the youth of the world, already burned by their recent fatuous obsession
with Obama, be duped again by such an impaired individual?

The Precedent: Pentagon Papers Whitewashed CIA, Blamed Army,
Demonized Kennedy

Assange’s revelations mainly involve communications labeled Confidential or
Secret, and which in reality would be over-classified if marked Official Use
Only. In other words, Assange is in reality a purveyor of low level cable
traffic, not of earth-shattering secrets. This reminds us of an earlier CIA
limited hangout operation, the one known as the Pentagon Papers. This was a
carefully screened selection of historical documents, supplemented by outright
forgeries, relating to the Vietnam War and compiled by Morton Halperin and
Leslie Gelb, both of whom have gone on to glittering careers in the imperialist
foreign policy establishment – Gelb became president of the Council on Foreign
Relations, while Halperin serves today as chief political officer of the Soros
wolfpack of foundations. The papers were leaked by former RAND Corporation
official Daniel Ellsberg, who had been a very bellicose hawk in Vietnam before a
suspicious Damascus Road conversion to pacifism, and then published in the US
establishment press – similarly to Assange today. There was nothing in the
Pentagon papers which a casual reader of LeMonde or Corriere della
Sera did not already know. But, as Mort Sahl later said, left liberals have
generally had very few heroes, so they battened on to Ellsberg and lionized him
– led by Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn, and some others. (This is a syndrome which
we see again today: at the moment when Obama’s treacherous sellout on the Bush
tax cuts was providing a final disillusionment for many gullible left libs,
Assange arrived on the scene as their new Savior. Not by chance, Ellsberg has
now designated Assange as his own reincarnation, and thus surely the new
Messiah.)

The Pentagon papers had been carefully selected by the CIA itself to cover up
CIA war crimes in Vietnam, blaming these on the US Army wherever possible, while
also obscuring the CIA’s massive program of drug production and narcotics
smuggling. The Pentagon Papers systematically hid the salient political fact of
the entire Vietnam era, which is that President John F. Kennedy before he was
assassinated was preparing to end the de facto US combat role in that country.
Instead, Kennedy was systematically demonized and smeared, emerging as the
villain of the piece. Needless to say, the Pentagon papers throw no light
whatsoever on the CIA role in the Kennedy assassination – in the same way that
Assange’s various document dumps tell us nothing of importance about 9/11, the
Rabin assassination, Iran-contra, the 1999 bombing of Serbia, the Kursk
incident, the various CIA color revolutions, or many of the other truly big
covert operations of the past decades.

The limited hangout is not new; it was described in a secret memorandum by
Venetian intelligence chief Paolo Sarpi to the Venetian Senate in 1620 as the
art of “saying something good about somebody while pretending to be saying
something bad.” That is the common denominator of the CIA’s limited hangout
operations from Ellsberg to Philip Agee to Assange, with so many other “former”
CIA operatives turned “whistleblowers” along the way.

The continued protests in Tunisia have thrown the spotlight on opposition
parties that were proscribed under Ben Ali—the Islamist Al-Nahda, or
Renaissance, and the Workers Communist Party of Tunisia (PCOT), a small
organization affiliated to the Albanian Maoist movement founded by Enver
Hoxha. These organizations are playing a prominent role in the current
protests. Earlier this week the interim government lifted the legal ban on the
two organizations so as to enlist their aid in containing the popular movement
within the confines of Tunisian status quo.

Members of one or both of these parties could potentially head up a new
government or enter a coalition with some credibility on the street.

One of the issues under discussion in the media is the absence of an
organized Islamist presence in the protests that led to Ben Ali’s fall. In the
New York Times, Olivier Roy asked, “Where were the Tunisian Islamists?”

Precisely because the Tunisian protest movement centered on social and
class issues—unemployment, inequality, the gross corruption of the regime—and
not religious or sectarian questions, the international media is now seeking
to promote the Islamist opposition in order to channel the movement along
religious and anti-progressive lines.

The New York Times also carried a favorable article on Al-Nahda and one of
its leaders, Ali Larayedh, under the headline “Opposition in Tunisia Finds
Chance For Rebirth.” The article characterized Al-Nahda as promoting “a
uniquely liberal version of Islamist politics” and stated, “Mr. Larayedh now
basks in a singular celebrity.”

It continued: “He is one of the few remaining leaders of the only credible
opposition movement in Tunisia’s history. And in the aftermath of Mr. Ben
Ali’s flight, that movement’s potential reincarnation is perhaps the most
significant variable in Tunisia’s post-revolutionary future—yearned for by
legions of working-class and rural Tunisians, viewed with just as much
apprehension by the cosmopolitan coastal elite.

“In an interview in the lobby of the Africa Hotel here, Mr. Larayedh
insisted that his party posed no threat to Tunisians or to tourists sipping
French wine in their bikinis along the Mediterranean beaches.”

For the New York Times to endorse an Islamic fundamentalist so warmly might
seem an anomaly in the context of the continuing “war on terror.” Thousands of
Islamists have been imprisoned since Tunisia backed the US invasion of Iraq.
Larayedh has spent the last 14 years in prison. The US supported Ben Ali’s
ruthless dictatorship for decades on the grounds that it was necessary to
prevent the growth of Islamic fundamentalism in the region.

The Times’ about-face only underscores the cynicism and hypocrisy that
underlie the “war on terror,” which has always been a means of advancing US
imperialist interests in the Middle East, Central Asia and throughout the
world. When faced with the danger of a revolutionary movement of the working
class, the Times and the American ruling class for which it speaks have no
problem promoting Islamist forces—just as they used them in the 1980s against
a pro-Soviet regime in Afghanistan and encouraged their growth earlier as a
counterweight to secular nationalist movements in the Middle East.

The London-based Daily Telegraph also had praise for Al-Nadha. Journalist
Damien McElroy claimed that the party has “wide core support at the country’s
universities.” Larayedh told the Daily Telegraph, “We want a government that
is able to make a democracy and that means the prime minister must go.”

Najib Chebbi of the PDP has called for “moderate political Islam” to be
brought into any new government. Al-Nadha’s top leader, Rached Ghannouchi, who
is not related to Prime Minister Ghannouchi, is planning to return to Tunisia
when the threat of a life sentence is lifted.

Boycott: In the U.S. it has become obvious that a system has taken hold
which is economically designed for one thing: consumption. This is the value
that each person has been given from birth. So, one key way to assert your
power and value in such a system is to vote with your wallet. Every purchase
you make either contributes to, or boycotts this corporatist structure. Become
aware of who the real owners are and what inhumane practices are behind the
products you purchase, so that you can make intelligent choices that support
your health and promote justice. Additionally, it is important to learn the
true contents of the products you buy, so that you don’t fall prey to slick
advertising and corporate misdirection. Join or create campaigns to educate
shoppers and force better labeling of products so it is easier for others to
consciously boycott them.

the lid off of BofA and lets see how long this “operative” lives. Then maybe
you knuckleheads will look at him differently… In the meantime, do something
useful, like finding out why, where and when Patrick Henry said “Give me
liberty or give me death” It will be a bit of a shock to 90% of you who look
to others opinions and consider them facts…

Also, just a bit of info… I recently left the USSA and moved to a
completely open Communist country and love the freedom. I never have any
issues, fresh food abounds, people are friendly, there is almost zero violent
crimes and I don’t have any false illusions that this government exists to
help me… I LOVE IT!!!!! (I still worry for all of you and my family left in

Wikileaks is not a conspiracy. It’s exactly what you would expect to

“nothing in there we didn’t already know.”

Who is “we”? I seriously doubt most people even read the documents at all,

doubt as to whether you know everything already in the documents, as you

“why was it given to NY Times and the likes to be published for the
public?” The reason given was they were paid to give these rags an exclusive
for some period of time. And these rags have chosen not to print information
critical of Israel and the US – Assange called them out on it.

It’s too early to reach a conclusion. Time will tell – in 3-4 months, when
Wikileaks is done publishing their trove of documents. Remember that only a
small percent of the documents have been publshed! Also that none of the
cables Wikileaks received were “Top Secret”, as one would expect any cable
that went strongly against the grain of official policy to be marked. After
all these are exchanges by the diplomatic corps which is given this role due
to proven loyalty to the agenda, it is idiotic for Tarpley to criticize the
cables because they demonstrate excactly what you would expect them
to.

Meanwhile, George Soros has nothing to do with Wikileaks. He actually

I agree with “read this comment”

On the Prison Planet Forum, most of the other posters repeat Tarpley’s
opinion as if it were their own in Mockingbird fashion.

I actually have read most of the cables, and in between some lame ones are
occasionally some bombshell ones. Mike Adams of natural News found good ones
on GMOs.

Google: naturalnews GMO cables

…and read that article.

As for saying Wikileaks is a waste of time because its stuff “we know
already”, that’s like saying ALex talking about stuff “we know already”,
because NWO conspiracies have been around for a long time. The cables add more
pieces to the puzzle.

As for the cables demonizing the typical “CIA enemies”, well no s**t
sherlock, where did you get the clue? The cables are chatter in between State
Department diplomats, what else would we expect them to say amongst
themselves?

We are looking into the minds of these diplomats by reading chatter between
themselves.

All I have to say to “infowarriors” is to form your own darn opinions,
instead of repeating what Alex or tarpley say. Use your own brain for once.

Well said, “birther truther tenther”, and I’m glad someone on here is
saying it as clearly as you. I expect the attitude toward Wikileaks and
Assange on this and other websites has more to do with the fact that he
doesn’t subscribe to the same beliefs on 9/11 that because he, and Wikileaks,
have actually done anything to conclusively prove collusion with the
enemy.

I will also point out that Wikileaks have not published anything to do with
9/11 because its purpose is publishing bonafide leaks, not speculation or
investigative reporting, as good or on target that might be. As yet, although
there have been plenty of investigations into, and speculations about 9/11,
but there have been no leaks on the topic (more’s the pity). Should that ever
happen, and someone does leak somethings on 9/11, we might see Wikileaks
publish them. Perhaps Assange will even change his mind on the matter. Until
then, he is just a guy who is not yet convinced. We have all been there at one
point or another. (Note, this doesn’t mean that he believes the official story
either—I have not heard him say whether he does or does not—just that those
stories he *has* seen, and the stuff that people are submitting to
Wikileaks—which aren’t actually leaks but people’s theories and opinions on
the topic of 9/11—have not convinced him, and having read some of the more
insane theories on the Web doesn’t surprise me considering he’s probably
received hundreds of them).

This article makes some pretty disappointing mistakes. One is assuming
guilt-by-association (and not even particularly close association). By not
giving any consideration to alternatives that might better explain why certain
people spoke or wrote favourably about Wikileaks, or associated with its
founder, when they thought it would serve their agenda, who may have later
realised that it does not (it seems now this is the case), the article
condemns him for something that might not even have been totally under his
control. However, it would not be surprising if Julian Assange did make use of
certain associations when it suited his own agenda such as meeting with those
who may be willing to provide funding or supply the sought after inside
information (people in positions of power or their agents). Julian also has a
flair for the dramatic.

The other obvious error is guilt-by-comparison. Just because the
circumstances of one situation resemble another where guilt may be commonly
accepted, it does not mean that the one is also guilty of the same crime.

This article, and others like it, ask legitimate questions, but assume that
the mere existence of those questions prove, by necessity, conclusive guilt.
That is just faulty logic. They prove nothing other than we can always find
ways to question a person’s motives by cherry-picking facts and applying our
own interpretations onto them (Alex Jones should understand this given how he
has been accused of being, depending on who you speak to, a Zionist, a Jesuit,
a CIA agent and any number of other things based supposedly on various
cherry-picked facts, associations, hear-say and speculations).

I had come to expect a lot of Tarpley from most of his writings but this
one disappointed me.

I just read the NN article, and that cable is an interesting footnote but
hardly a bombshell. An ambassador wrote a letter suggestion retaliation for
Europe reneging on GMOs. Read F. William Engdahl’s book “Seeds of
Destruction,” that has decades of far more specific documentation on the US
using GMOs as a strategic weapon. And Engdahl has led the pack calling out
Wikileaks as “a big dangerous government con job.”

As for your other point, you’re arguing against yourself by suggesting that
these “dumps” are useless and one-sided.

If Wikileaks is US-government-backed, why are most of the cables so
embarrassing to the US and what you call the “NWO?”

As Freud once said, “Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.”

It’s good to be skeptical of everything, but skepticism shouldn’t morph
into rampant paranoia.

Wikileaks is the schematic for the inverse function of a circular firing
squad.

The pattern observed will reveal itself clearly as they use more selective
leaks over time.

The whole truth will knock it to the ground.

Whether Wikileaks is real or not, the MSM and the globalists that hold
their leash are going to twist it to fit their agenda either way.

Some of the information I’ve seen on Wikileaks regarding Thailand – a topic
I’m familiar with – is total propaganda, literally manifestos written by the
globalist Maoist movement trying to overthrow the Thai monarchy, and “leaks”
of comments from the proxy candidates of globalist stooge Thaksin Shinwatra to
the US ambassador. As if their “comments” and quotes represent the truth and
not their opinion… – well that’s how the MSM and the paid bloggers spun
it.

One should realize that all Wikileaks releases are not true, but that does
not mean that every single solitary one of them is filled with lies.

For example, someone @ the US consulate in Cuba said that Castro had banned
Michael Moore’s “Sicko.” Here, a US State Department Employee was telling his
masters in the Bush Administration what they wanted to hear. This cable was a
LIE.

Nonetheless, the cable that stated that the Obama Administration persuaded
the Spanish government to drop cases against CIA agents who tortured Spanish
citizens is TRUE.

Still I hope he is not a traitor to the cause of freedom of information or
that he simply is attempting to confuse issues even further… I was even
expecting it might come out from his “revelations” that Fidel Castro has been
a CIA double agent all along… I mean, if after more than half a century they
still have not managed to dispose of him, it must be for some such reason as
that he ultimately serves the interests of Empire… and the Nazi oriented CIA
stacked from the beginning with Nazi intelligence…

those like Feinstein–NOT A LIBERAL, regardless of who erroneously calls her
one [check out the AETA], Palin, Lieberman and other rabid Nazis stripping
"free" speech at ever opportunity.

These people are all of the same ilk–their personal ideologies link them
together–NOT any one political affiliation…they are ALL the same human

We need MILLIONS of Assanges, heroic whistleblowers trying to level the
playing field for the powerless. Assange has gained NOTHING–NOTHING from
leaking this info…except being put on a U.S. govt hit list. Tarpley, you have
no critical thinking ability. Here's a fool-proof way to distinguish the good

I see the questioning of motives of “self-editing” or “self-redaction” of
some of Wikileaks information released. To me, it’s as if “they” are
attempting to show-either real or perceived-a sense of a “benevolant
omnipotent dictatorship” of sorts. As if to say, “Look, we ‘really’ do care
about you little guys.” Did anyone actually believe one, lone, Army Private,
“anarchist” captured ALL of said data, and released it to
Wikileaks…really??

“If your study the enemy to closely, you start to become the enemy”. For a
sane information analyst, the Wiki leaks don’t do much harm. It will be easy
to see the slant. It is probably the main-stream media that do harm by running
with the stories that only aid the Imperial Empire once they put their
ridiculous spin on things. But then it just the same old, same old, garbage as
usual, so it doesn’t really matter — until they start to fabricate public
opinion. I suspect the wiki leaks can be used to feed the lows between news
explosions however.

It has a positive effect of generating copy-cats. But then again these
could be positive or negative.

Quote from Webster Tarpley’s screed :

“The internet is indeed a vast battlefield, where the intelligence agencies
of the US-UK, China, Israel, Russia, and many others clash every hour of the
day, with commercial spies, hackers, anarchists, cultists, mercenary trolls,
and psychotics all getting into the act as well.”

This is Webster Tarpley taking a shot in the dark… Amusing.

I see more accusations that Julian Assange was brainwashed with LSD and
other mind-altering drugs as part of the MK-ULTRA program, and that he is a
tool of the CIA, as if to be raised his entire life to assist in color
revolutions and a “putsch” (a military coup d’etat) allegedly.

Tarpley’s analysis of the Wikileaks data has a certain bias that reveals
itself throughout his screed. Maybe you share in that point of view. I don’t
think he has exposed a conspiracy behind Wikileaks, only exposed how he is
living in a parallel universe of intrigue with regard to the reality of
Wikileaks.

“It is illuminating that none of Assange’s document dumps have revealed any

had to resign because of anything Wikileaks has done.”

There are quite a few cables on Israel out. But it would be against this

Also, since this website is so

to the way that the US is viewed in a lot of parts of the world.
Unless
somebody now comes up with the idea that the CIA is working for the NWO

I have to say here, while Wikileaks has it’s uses, it also acts in
suspicious ways that don’t sound like a “fight for truth”. Webster is right
saying that most of the leaks seem to be conveniently targeting the US and UK
enemies. Even though any slight digging can turn up 101 seriously bad things
about Israel, UK and the US. Wikileaks has leaked things claiming they were
top secret when they never were. Wikileaks blackmailed a charity last year
when they said, “please don’t publish these names..” Assange said he wanted
£100,000s to not do so or he would do. I take Wikileaks with a (very) large
pinch of salt as it’s just unclear exactly whos side they are actually on now.
Make your own minds up people, do your own digging, there’s more going on

It`s interesting to me how all this reminds me of the game of chess. The
King is virtually powerless without others to protect him, the queen is the
most powerful, and then come the lackeys: bishops, knights, and rooks. But the
pawns, the peons, can totally overthrow the whole thing, and reinstate the
queen, the most powerful piece if they get to the other side. Sort of like,
“The Grand Chessboard” by “Zibig Baby”.
