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

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.

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.
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.
