Fox’s Bill O’Reilly has called for the execution or life imprisonment of Julian Assange for his WikiLeaks.
WikiLeaks has been made possible because of modern technology. This has to be an important moment in our history.
Of course the authorities would pull the trigger and say people’s lives are at stake. A former British diplomat commented yesterday that truth is never the problem, rather lies. Well said Mr Diplomat.
Anyone who has anything to do with truth should be out dancing on the streets celebrating WikiLeaks.
The nonsense, the bluff, the pseudo importance that characterises people with ‘secrets’.
How often have I heard, ‘You cannot be told the full story’ or some other humbug. That allows people hide behind their pathetic power. And they have elegant and sophisticated ways of putting one in her or his place if they persist in asking questions.
And WikiLeaks applies to preaching the Gospel too. I have often found myself sitting in pews and wondering long and hard whether or not the man talking the words actually believes what he is saying. I have seen too many men preach nonsense and lies covered in humbug.
The bluff and nonsense that can so easily be preached - and done in such a 'holy way'.
It is worth noting that Fox calls for Julian’s execution. Funny that because it always seems to me that it is the right wing brigade and fundamentalists of whatever hue, who speak out of both sides of their mouths.
WikiLeaks is the antidote. Long live WikiLeaks.
