"the information that is being shared by WikiLeaks tells us very little about the methods used by those in power to retain their positions..."
Dear friends,
At least to me, all of the WikiLeaks drama merely shows that US Imperialism is still a paper tiger. Worse yet, it’s on its way out as a dominating force in global politics.
The tattle-tale approach of WikiLeaks fits in well with the personality contests that are euphemistically called “elections” in this country. However, as always, the information that is being shared by WikiLeaks tells us very little about the methods used by those in power to retain their positions, much less the actions in which the aforementioned rulers partake in order to keep control, while enriching their corporate sponsors. Some democracy, eh?
Still, I believe that comments in recent months by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are far more revealing than anything that has been made available by WikiLeaks. http://www.mediaite.com/online/mahmoud-ahmadinejad-tells-u-n-general-assembly-911-was-an-inside-job/
Unfortunately, while Brother Mahmoud preaches to the choir with progressive “I got ya”s, he, of course, keeps his mouth shut, regarding the inconsistencies of freedom, dignity, and justice in his own land…to that extent, he is no different than ruling class secretaries like Obama and BiBi.
One Love,
