Nothing changes on New Year’s day. Wikileaks is daily in the news just as it was throughout the 2010. Often enough in the same sentence we also hear about high ranking politicians around the world, including most powerful presidents and vise-presidents, premiers and their staff members, who are not choosing words when attacking Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange, and the truth that had leaked out through his non-profit media organization. Secret cables are continually made available on their web site to the world wide media and interested public. In the same time content had and still has apparent consequences on the people of some countries, their governments and interests of others.
The truth behind barb wire
Looking at the secret cables content, some times simultaneously disclosing information about western democratic governments and dictators around the globe, it comes as a surprise only to the most naive. The way dictators behave and rule with the iron fist over hundreds of millions of people around the world is nothing new. What may be new to some is financial and other aid they are getting from the western world while in the same time this same governments on the west are publicly condemning those dictators and under their rule widespread lack of freedom of speech, human rights abuses, treatment of political opposition, control of media etc.
And this is apparently just an icing on the cake.
It’s almost impossible to write something more on the subject that hasn’t been already said or hadn’t been written about by everyone involved. Also, it would be probably impossible to find anyone who did not comment more then once about Wikileaks in heated online debates.
Without further ado I list links containing written or video material, one I came across, featuring involved parties and others. This material is not always published by the mainstream media but by others on the web. I will continually update this post with links to new material related to Wikileaks.
