In a past post on the many that was dedicated to Assange here, I had speculated he could be a “useful Idiot”.
He is certainly kept in the news a lot, even if most soccer moms or your typical zombie out there are oblivious to all this. The internet is fine for them as long as they don’t loose their Ebay, Facebook or twitter.
The UN is considering policing the Internet:

Protect the free Internet with as much passion as you would the right to bare arms. I believe both are now as equally important.
I’m not particularly passionate about the right to bare arms,especially in the Winter,too damned cold!

Anagram fun!
IS ANAL JUNE GAS
The irony for Assange and geeks like him is that their actions end up justifying government measures to police the Internet.
Wasn’t the title to the post supposed to be

Assange is a usefool clod in the great “Let’s bash the West drum.”
Give him some of his own medicine, let’s release all of Assange’s private emails, correspondence and dalliances.
Should be great fun…as he does a very public face plant.

Come on folks and wake the hell up. Julian Assange is all ready the “Dead Mans switch” that Joe Lieberman and Obama have been waiting for to controll the internet.
I suppose if you’re looking for something to justify your paranoia, anything will do. Corporate control of the internet is a far greater likelihood. Look how Google treats privacy and controls search.
AS far as the Cables go, most of the commenters I’ve read save the undergrad radical crowd reckon the leaks mostly make the USA look pretty good. Or tell us stuff we knew anyway. Assange has an agenda but it really looks like it backfired.
Killing Assange or any other journalist will make absolutely no difference at this point. There’s already about 100,000 copies of the insurance file in circulation. That paticular toothpaste can’t be squeezed back into the tube. The hate on for Assange is merely a side show to distract and discredit the contents of the leaks themselves but it hasn’t worked.
There’s really no way to prevent whistleblowers from using flash memory, the internet and encryption in the future.

And who do you think controls the US Government and congress….the Pope?
The Yanks need to pull their heads in. Assange is an Australian. We take a dim view of foreign governments stuffing around with our citizens.
The “security file” is idiotic. He’s saying “hey, you better not hurt me, or I’ll release this information which I’m going to slowly release anyway”. His comprehension of “security” is abysmal.
We yankanucks take a dim view of your citizens endangering our soldiers and messing around with our classified info, Bruce.
His demise may come when he’s run over by the Batmobile.
JJM identifies the long term fall-out @ 11:11.
Black Mamba @ 8:47, exactly.
Diplomacy may not be a clean discipline and never has been, but is much better than anarchy.
Will Rogers made a few comments about diplomats and diplomacy….
My favourite:
“Diplomacy is the art of saying ‘nice doggy’ while you reach for a rock.”
“I was exactly what she secretly longed for…”
No, Julian. No you weren’t. But luckily Michael Moore loves you.
It’s a tough call on this Assange character.
To be sure there needs to be transparency in big government, and there also needs to be national security from hostile enemies.
Unfortunately, the US has lost the trust of the world as a fascist corporate empire separated from its citizens. Many Americans are waking up to the fact that their society is being torn apart, bankrupted, and controlled by their government in incremental steps.
This is the reason the borders are unsecured, the drug war continues unabated, the deficit has risen beyond sustainability, major banks are bailed out while small business and individuals go bankrupt.
Assange comes along at a convenient time.
People are not listening to the government propaganda via the MSM any more. They follow alternative media through the internet; the alternative media has now become the new god of reality to many.
It is strange that Assange “is not dead yet” considering the reach and known brutal tactics of the US spy and military machine. Why not?
Possibly Assange is another useful idiot, especially with his cult like status with the left. After all they do unwittingly participate and promote all the above mentioned attacks on the US economy and sovereignty. They of course are idealists without the rationality to understand how their participation corrupts their own lives, but the question remains as to whether Assange is a good thing for freedom and democracy, or another tool of its downfall.
US spy machine.
As opposed to the Soviet Spy machine
Columbian Spy machine
Mafia Spy machine
Iranian Spy machine
Saudi Spy machine
UAE Spy machine
German Spy machine
British Spy machine
Fwench Spy machine
Take your pick.
Assange is no more noble than a vandal, who THINKS he operates unseen,in the dark. PHuck him. Michael Moore too.
Elections are designed to clean house, if you are worried.
methinks assange isn’t the bad guy, the puppy who fed the info to him isn’t either. It goes much deeper than some nobody DADT soldier. The conspiracy theorist in me says there’s more to the story than meets the eye and I’ll bet the obama admin is knee deep in sheep shit on this one.

“Elections are designed to clean house, if you are worried.”
Very true.
Unfortunately that will work for so long with a hugely corrupt government, voting machine fraud, Acorn like registry fraud, undisclosed sources of ¾ billion dollar campaign contributions (most likely foreign), controlled media bias, and a public willing to vote for a president unwilling to prove his citizenship.
Elections then take on the form of a controlled joke.
Here’s something else about Assange: his “threat” to release more sensitive information he has tucked away.
As far as I know, it’s not the norm for, say, the New York Times to actually resort to blackmail.
“The conspiracy theorist in me says there’s more to the story than meets the eye and I’ll bet the obama admin is knee deep in sheep shit on this one.”
Right. The Obama Administration is acting on behalf of the Zionists, the Royal Family and the Bilderberg Group to distract public attention from the 9/11 cover-up while Bush, Cheney and the Freemasons prepare to take over the UN.
Wikileaks Jew-hating staff puts paid to the transparency nonsense. After reading this, tho, I’m convinced he’ll get the Nobel Prize like Arafat and Carter, oh, and Barry.
We take a dim view of foreign governments stuffing around with our citizens.
What are you going to do, go to the UN? LOL
@Black Momba: that is nonsense. Even Defsec Gates said that there hasn’t been significant damage from the leaks.
Assange may be a fool, but he has probably done the world some serious good. Maybe the US could get serious about security before somebody leaks something of real import that should actually be secret. Assange has also not committed any crime, philosophically or legally.
