What we can see regarding the pressure that can be exerted on Nations and companies over the new Wikileaks releases is a show of what many first world people are scared of in their everyday lives - not that most think about it - it would be too close to living a truthful life - Right mindfulness in that what you are thinking and basing your living on is what is actually true and a fair summation of reality.
Many student ARE actually going into demo's about all sort of things KNOWING they are likely to get hurt, possibly badly, that there is no guarantee that they might not even get shot for believing what they believe and being where they are.
Copying and pasting into your own blog information about Wikileaks is likely to get some form of 'notice' from 'someone' out there in the wider world, that 'notice' might come back to bite you badly many years from now - once out there it is unlikely to vanish off a record of you.
Those of us who love this world enjoy lots of what society is all about but have serious problems with some of the core building blocks of old fashioned, out of date, cruel, lothesome laws, rules and regs, as well as social mores that could do with updating to help with better growth patterns for all concerned.
Searching for some music or a film to watch is now likely to get you on a list too - if you download that media you might even get screwed stupid for copyright breach by Any Old Law Firm & Co.
There's this huge glob of rich rich rich people who want to maintain and increase their wealth for themselves and those around them, for their own children and for what they all decide they want from the world. Someone called them 'The Plutonomy'
Nothing wrong with that, in essence. Wouldn't we all like to have the wherewithal to do and be and go as our souls demand?
It's just that how these people go about everything is based on rules made of shit attitudes and outdated beliefs
FACT. If their ways were designed from thousands of years ago be of benefit to the lowest member of society rather than the highest we WOULD NOT HAVE THE SHIT WE HAVE TODAY.
But they weren't.
There is no time from today, this moment, backwards, that you can point to and say this is when the selfish bastards finally really gave a damn for those at the bottom.
We run on a system of what 'they' say is what 'we' do.
At the moment one of my biggest grumbles is that my life is fully controlled by a group of people who all wear dark suits. Doesn't matter which political party, of the ones who will govern, I choose, they are all cut from very similar bolts of cloth.
I have a disability or two and I am living in a country that is about to push me into working for a boss who is more than likely to be a bad boss or even just a normal boss but my disabilities will get in the way and then I won't be working but I also won't be getting any help financially because that is how the system works in the UK - force someone to work below their levels and then fuck them over when their heads go bang.
I don't drink alcohol much - throwing massive grand mal fits does tend to stop the joys of drunken fun (-: I smoke cannabis to stop the shakes but that is illegal and brings its own shakes with it. I live in a country where who I am and what I am and what I do and and and is not known of by those who keep me alive. Or by those who hang swords over my head waiting for the time when they will need to use that long held threat to quiet my babble.
And this is where I came in.
We all have to accept from very early on some distortions to the who that we really are - some of these are social blocks, some are legal blocks. Some are understandable and are based on the humanities of the people. Some are forced on us by bullies with great power and sometimes cretins for leaders. - for cretins also read, damaged, immature, self pandering, or even just strong willed with their own sets of beliefs.
When I went mad for twenty od years I ended up talking to the microphones and cameras in the spider holes up in the corners of our old crumbling farm house. I did it because such a possibility was likely for anyone joining in with any group that was not linked body and soul to the Order of The Suit.
The sadness is that the controllers of today, and yesterday, do have the power and the inclination to bug and camera to their hearts content. Someone would do it if they felt the country was in danger - if their way of life was under threat.
We the people have watched and read and listened and even felt the uncaring ways of a society built for others - or for us to try to catch up with, or even to try and find a way between their concrete pillars. Certainly we must be their fodder first - society must survive as it has been or better so that those with will always be with.
The fight that is happening now regarding Julian Assange and Wikileaks is an open view of the background pressure that is applied on a daily basis and the negative minds that sometimes make the comments that control policy.
It only takes a single train of opinionated people to have one person destroyed and being able to destroy one also comes with the power to destroy many - whether this is a gentle hack like removing families recently acquired homes from them a la recent crash or shooting people because they happen to have a rucksack.
We all know the shit that society can use to twat a single voice. We can, however, hope that we don't get focussed on.
Even though we know that 'they' really are as dangerous as all the books, films and TV have shown us
