Time To Shoot The Messenger? (So-To-Speak)
The Circus That Has Surrounded The Wikileaks Scandal; Questions Linger
NewsFocus, by Tim Watts - 020511

Even though I felt it necessary to write an early piece asking for people not to dismiss the Wikileaks information out of hand without looking first, I did leave a serious caveat as to what would eventually be released by the website, leaving the veracity of the organization to the actual data divulged; the old "proof is in the pudding" cliché. Many of my close friends know that I have had reservations about Assange for some time now. I voiced my concerns openly from the start, even while asking for patience. I too was most hopeful that Wikileaks would be something good, but sadly, at this point, I must now say that I can no longer view Julian Assange with any tangible optimism. I have returned to my basic gut instinct, that this is a Trojan horse intelligence operation, originated to cover the sins of bad government.

First off, Assange hasn't released anything yet of major significance to the real crimes of government. His Iraq revelations were old news to anyone who searches the news. His embassy cables were nothing more than diplomatic minutia. And while some play the part of doubting Thomas, for the most part the media has done its best to further the notion of Assange's credibility and the integrity of Wikileaks.

The biggest red flag for me regarding Wikileaks is this... Assange claims to be in this to expose every single government cover-up there is, yet at the same time, he openly dismisses the 9/11 truth movement as quackery. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to spot the glaring dichotomy here.

As I wrote previously, the danger with WikiLeaks is having it be set up as a beacon of light, only to blind us to the larger truth. Fear the person who brings you truth, to hide a bigger lie.

Aside from the assassination of President Kennedy, and the U.S. government's acknowledgment of an actual conspiracy, 9/11 is arguably the single biggest cover-up that threatens those in power. After nearly a decade of in-depth research by top scientists and academicians, there is a mountain of damning evidence against bad covert factions within the US and Israeli governments, pointing to a hand in the 9/11 attack, if not planning and orchestrating the entire event.

If some don't believe that, it's only because they have never seriously looked at the evidence, nor the myriad incongruities of the 9/11 event. Those that have looked know the evidence is there. If you're not willing to exhaustively search the evidence, then please don't offer a defense of the official government lie. Those who do are tragically misinformed and speak ignorantly with no factual evidence to support their opinion. Either look for yourself, or listen to the experts who have, but don't listen to those with the most to hide. That would be a horrific mistake to make.

Some people just can't get past the fact that evil men will do anything for unlimited wealth and power. They fail to realize how corrupt "factions" of shady individuals can come together with like minded ideals and goals, to commit crimes so perverse and atrocious, it makes you question their humanity.

When it comes to 9/11, those who resist the truth do so under the naive belief that, "Our government would never do such a thing to its people." They are quite wrong, because history has recorded numerous false flag operations that prove otherwise.

Per the charge that our "government" would never do this... here's an analogy: the baseball steroid scandal was very widespread, but it certainly didn't mean that all baseball players took steroids. The fact that Alex Rodriguez took steroids to help himself cheat, doesn't mean that Major League Baseball, or the New York Yankees are corrupt organizations. It simply means that individuals took advantage of the system for their own benefit. It is exactly that way in government. Bad people are bad in any walk of life.

Our government, as a whole, is not bad. It has some tremendously good people working within it, however, there is also an undeniable criminal element that has worked its way into our halls of power, to exploit the position for their own benefit. That much is undeniable for anyone who has ever remotely followed our crooked two-party political system.

The 9/11 truth movement is not waiting for Wikileaks to tell us what happened on 9/11. Those who have researched and investigated the event already know what happened. No one needs Wikileaks to justify what we have learned. What people are waiting for from Wikileaks is some form of corroborating evidence that supports what we already know, or perhaps reveals something new that fits with existing evidence.

So far though, what we have seen from Wikileaks is fabricated support for the Bush administration and the Iraq war lie, not to mention a possible new scapegoat for the 9/11 attacks. And you can bet it's not going to be the PNAC or rogue government officials.

The fear here is that we're being set up with a false truth operation. One that purports to give you ten truths, yet only nine are real. They lull people into a false sense of trust by giving them those nine truths, all the while their main goal is to deceive you on the one truth. They will give you those nine truths just to keep you from the bigger tenth truth that they want to keep secret.

Do not underestimate our intel services. We have some brilliant, devious bastards at work in these agencies, so don't make the mistake of thinking they would never do this to us. Need I bring up the fictitious Gulf of Tonkin event, or the government plans to start a war with Cuba through Operation Northwoods, or even the first World Trade Center bombings which were known about beforehand and facilitated by some at the FBI? 

Those that pulled off the 9/11 event made some egregious errors. It was not a perfect plan, by any means. It is because of these screw-ups that we have such a damning picture of the government's role. With over half of America screaming for a new 9/11 investigation -a real investigation- the guilty know they've been fingered, so they will stop at nothing to keep others from finding out. What better way than to introduce a false icon for truth. Assange gets to give us his "nine truths," but watch out for that tenth truth, the one that matters most.

The whole Wikileaks fiasco has smelled from the start. We're supposed to believe that a known super-hacker isn't picked up by our government, with outstanding charges already? There are mere kids who have hacked into less, and yet they are now serving years in a Federal prison. If the government wanted Assange, he would have been hauled into the back of a van and driven off into custody a long time ago.

Those in the programming community already know that the best hackers work for the government. If you get caught, and you don't want to go to prison, you do what you're told. Why Assange is allowed to remain free is a mystery to many within the cyber community. It raises legitimate questions for many.

For this writer, until Julian Assange pulls some evidence out to convict those at the top who were involved in 9/11, and also the following anthrax attacks, Wikileaks will be nothing more than an intelligence operation to beguile the masses and cover-up the crimes of "corrupt" government.

I would love nothing more than for Wikileaks to be the real deal, but for now... my two-cents is, beware the message of the potential false messenger.


Darn It! People, WAKE UP to This Wikileaks Fraud
GrandDeception.com, by Jeff Prager – Sunday, December 12, 2010 – via Facebook
I’ve posted on this subject repeatedly but perhaps not concisely enough. Maybe I’m just wasting time and like the events surrounding 911 it will simply take another ten years for people to come around? It took us 10 years to get one single mainstream media resource to report on Building 7, right? Everyone knows Geraldo Rivera reported on it, right?

How long did it take YOU to come to the conclusion that 911 was NOT what we’ve been told? A year, 2 years, 5 years? It didn’t take me long but it did take me almost 6 years to figure out what did happen, never mind what didn’t happen.

So here’s the scoop, in one neat, concise essay, on Julian Assange and Wikileaks. ...


Who is Behind Wikileaks?
Global Research, by Michel Chossudovsky - 121310

Wikleaks is upheld as a breakthrough in the battle against media disinformation and the lies of the US government.

Unquestionably, the released documents constitute an important and valuable data bank. The documents have been used by critical researchers since the outset of the Wikileaks project. Wikileaks earlier revelations have focussed on US war crimes in Afghanistan (July 2010) as well as issues pertaining to civil liberties and the "militarization of the Homeland" (see Tom Burghardt, Militarizing the "Homeland" in Response to the Economic and Political Crisis, Global Research, October 11, 2008)

In October 2010, WikiLeaks was reported to have released some 400,000 classified Iraq war documents, covering events from 2004 to 2009 (Tom Burghardt, The WikiLeaks Release: U.S. Complicity and Cover-Up of Iraq Torture Exposed, Global Research, October 24, 2010). These revelations contained in the Wikileaks Iraq War Logs provide "further evidence of the Pentagon's role in the systematic torture of Iraqi citizens by the U.S.-installed post-Saddam regime." (Ibid)

Progressive organizations have praised the Wikileaks endeavor. Our own website Global Research has provided extensive coverage of the Wikileaks project. 

The leaks are heralded as an immeasurable victory against corporate media censorship.

But there is more than meets the eye. ... (Read More)

Is Wikileaks A Front For The CIA or Mossad?
Telegraph.co.uk (blog) - Richard Spencer - ‎112910‎
Wikileaks, according to every news agency, newspaper and television station across the world, is a huge embarrassment, a disaster for the United States.

You will therefore be surprised to learn that Wikileaks is in fact a US-front organisation, or at the very least a Mossad operation. It is intent on undermining peace in the Middle East, and discrediting the region’s leaders and Iran in particular.

That, at least, was the view of an Iranian analyst interviewed just now on al-Jazeera. (Read More)

Wikileaks: A Big Dangerous US Government Con Job

Hidden Intelligence Operation Behind the Wikileaks Release of "Secret" Documents? (Some question if WikiLeaks isn't a Trojan horse in disguise.)

NewsFocus: The preceding article is a valid consideration. While NewsFocus applauds the recent efforts of WikiLeaks, it cannot be overlooked that someone who says their website is meant to uncover all government crime, yet at the same time openly speaks out against 9/11 truth, well... that gives great pause for many. So it is indeed entirely possible that WikiLeaks is an intel Trojan horse, being set up as a beacon of light, only to blind us to the larger truth. One certainly hopes not, but our intel services have some brilliant, devious bastards at work, so it's not entirely out of the question. The thought most certainly bears consideration. At the very least, WikiLeaks is vulnerable to disinformation feeds from world intelligence agencies, so  Assange and the rest of us will have to learn to separate the wheat from the chaff. Time will tell if Assange will ever ferret out any key 9/11, JFK or Wellstone evidence. We'll be watching closely, with a wary eye.
 


Don't Shoot The Messenger
The Issue Is Not About Leaked Documents, It's About Government Corruption
NewsFocus - 112910

After the recent Homeland Security website raids, it is more than likely a matter of time before WikiLeaks is taken over as well. The trouble is, founder Julian Assange (pictured at left) is Australian, which creates some diplomatic issues, but the biggest effect of any possible website censorship will be the exacerbation of existing public sentiments regarding mistrust of government, while awakening new sectors of the populace to already existing government conspiracy cases.

"We the people" have a right to view documents created by public officials, especially when they bring to light criminal activity by select individuals within our government. Julian Assange is not the perpetrator of the leaks. Those within government who are leaking the documents to WikiLeaks are the personal conduits to be concerned with. Assange's website has merely been used as a public repository. He is not to blame for the revelations of "Government Gone Wild." Assange has so far been a truth hero and we hope that he is sincere in his endeavor. Few ever have the guts to make a stand for a just cause, but Assange appears to have done exactly that, stand up for all of us by shedding light on our government sins.

It is highly disingenuous for anyone in our government to say WikiLeaks is the problem. Not at all. WikiLeaks is the one pointing out the problem. The actual problem is within our government.

The only outrage should be over the fact that these wrongdoings in government have taken place, not the fact that they were exposed. Those that view the situation differently are more than likely being led by the TV and radio talking head pundits who are in "clean-up" mode right now, trying to diffuse and sanitize as much leaked government wrongdoing as possible. Watergate would never have made the front page of the nation's papers with this mentality.

Secretary of State Clinton, named in the documents as telling US diplomats to act as spies, decried that there was nothing heroic in putting others in danger, however, that is not at all what these documents are showing so far. These are not top secret defense documents in the least. What Clinton misses in her blatant attempt to re-direct attention away from the government in any wrongdoing is that it is heroic to expose government wrongdoing, any chance we can get.

We very well could be witnessing one of the greatest displays of heroism in the modern era, if indeed WikiLeaks is what it purports to be. Not since Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon papers have we had one person provide such a revealing insight into the misdeeds of government. America desperately needs another Daniel Ellsberg.

If indeed the government illegally takes down a private website to cover up its misdeeds and secret deceptions, all to keep us from seeing the truth about them, what do we say then?

This author will be crying about the loss of freedom of speech, as well as the need for accountability and transparency in government. Revealing defense secrets is not what WikiLeaks is supposed to be about. Revealing government wrongdoing is reportedly their true focus, something our boot-licking corporate media could perhaps take a journalistic lesson in.

To make Assange the scapegoat in this scandal is to dismiss the greater charge of government deceit. Take care to fully examine the facts first for yourself, and don't let the bought and paid for corporate media tell you differently. As the old saying goes, "Don't shoot the messenger." (Unless he turns out to be a messenger of deceit.)

Right now, it's the message that we should be examining first. Lets look at that in full light and see what truth it offers. In then end, Assange will be credited or discredited by the truth that he brings forth. Time will eventually tell. We're watching.
