To night ABC TV Wikileaks is the subject 9.30 the time is it Q and A? not sure like to see its detractors take a look.
Daily our world becomes a better place, because of the net.
We may yet,left right and center have to march to protect our right to know.
To know who is pulling the strings that control far too much in our lives.

Well said Pelican.

Yes should put it in print Pelican very impressed with your thought processes.
Got it wrong Q and A was worth watching but it is tonight and I will be watching.
If StG could watch and report his views here tomorrow??

Thanks thinker and Belly. This is such an important issue and the implications are significant. The whole argument about conspiracies is blurring the value in what WL is aiming to achieve.

I watched an interview with Assange recently and recounted one of his first encounters with corrupt authority or abuse of power. As a child coming home from a function with his mother two men pulled her over and basically threatened her to stop protesting and gathering information with scientists about the British nuclear testing in the Australian outback.

The men implied that her son might be taken away from her given the late hour and she could be determined as an unfit mother. After that she lay low for some time to avoid risking her son's removal.

I cannot find the script from the one I saw on the ABC but here is a link to an American 60 Minutes interview which at the very beginning goes into this incident and his early experiences with authority. If I can find the ABC link I will post it later.

Thanks Pelican I never knew that this mater should be receiving the attention of conspiracy theorists if any thing does.
I truly doubt,some understand how very important this is for us all.

I do agree Belly. We are in the midst of a war over the control of information. It is vitally important to the future, that the flow and content of information remain pure and as unadulterated as possible. Only the whole story reveals the truth.

Truth among all principles remains the critical one for mine. In my current lowly occupation Belly that of salesperson, it is incumbent of me legally, to be truthful. The disappointing thing about selling is it is not incumbent upon the customers to be truthful. In fact customers think it is forgivable to lie in the heat of negotiation. Deception is not necessarily forgivable in my mind, and reduces my empathy for the client, and therefore the overall experience ends up being a negative for all concerned, although happy for some (even all) on the face of it.

If people knew they could trust each other one on one, life would be much better.

Understanding breeds appreciation, and without the full picture our capacity for empathy is diminished.
We're choosing live in the world of "what you don't know won't hurt you".

Never knowing what "it is", that is actually going on.

The modern equivalent of fiddling while Rome burns.
