Bit Torrent Leaks?

What was it? Five or six months ago that this bottom feeding slug dumped more than 400,000 classified documents into public view? It was an embarrassment and a clear violation of federal law. It wasn't critical stuff, fortunately, but rather mundane daily operations reports and status details from military units around the world. The motive ostensibly was to stop the wars.

He said he wanted to display the evil of our actions and thereby create a backlash against combat operations by the US and allied militaries. I can't psychoanalyze this loon, but apparently he is OK with Taliban whippings of women who are "indiscreet" and al Qaeda homicide bombers in public places.

Now, we've got this one:

Quarter of a Million State Department Whispers Now Public

The web news sites are aflutter with damage reports and headlines about the indiscretions and deals of diplomacy. It reads like last month's summary of all the inane soap opera plots on all the channels of all the gin joints in all the world. But, somehow I think that the real diplomats know exactly what goes on and have the same sorts of opinions expressed in correspondence through the back-channels of their world. It isn't a surprise when the Ambassador who dined with you last night reports to his bosses that you had bad breath and poor table manners. This will be much ado in the public eye and nothing of significance in the diplomatic world.

Yet you would have to ask yourself after the first dump when I suggested a "termination with extreme prejudice" as a policy option for Assange, what has the Bamster and Co. been doing about it?

Hillary! Gates-man! Close the Barn Door, the Horses Have Escaped!

Way to go, O-Man! That's keeping ahead of the situation! Review your security procedures! What a thought.

But, hey, if we've got data leaks we've already got a federal agency dealing with them.

Feds Seize Domain Names, Shutdown Web Sites

Trust Big Sis to have a handle on things. Shut down those shopping sites with fake label purses. They are a real threat to our homeland security. I feel so much safer now.

The Emperor and his minions have a script and they will stick to it. Grave things like a war on the southern border or wikileaks is not on their agenda. So there is plenty of TNT out there and just looking for a spark. And we the people will be caught in the explosion.

IMO, Wikileaks is a false-flag operation intended to provide justification for censorship of the internet.

Nothing more.

We are supposed to believe that The Biggest and Most Badass Government In The History Of The World (du jour) can only respond to this Most Egregious Crime Of The Century (du jour) by sending him letters (strongly-worded, of course) asking him to stop?

It is to laugh were it actually funny.

I always look for motive and (after all the connections to Spooky Dude explicated) this is, indeed, just a juicy worm on a hook to get us to bite.

Was the data really stuff no one knew or suspected? Much more to this than just the act itself or the data. WHY. That is the important question.
