2010 can be defined as the year of WikiLeaks. The whisteblowing website first made headlines around the world in April when it released a video of a U.S. helicopter gunship indiscriminately firing on Iraqi civilians killing 12 people, including two Reuters news staff. In July, WikiLeaks created a bigger firestorm when it published more than 90,000 classified U.S. military war logs of the war in Afghanistan. Then in October, WikiLeaks published some 390,000 classified U.S. documents on the war in Iraq—the largest intelligence leak in U.S. history and the greatest internal account of any war on public record. And in November WikiLeaks began releasing a giant trove of confidential State Department cables that sent shockwaves through the global diplomatic establishment. Throughout it all, WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange were targeted by the U.S. and other governments around the world. We play our interviews with Assange and with Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg.

    • WE MUST LEARN FROM HISTORY.... NOT TO REPEAT IT !

      [ LEARN ]... from those failed corporate dreams of the late fascist, Benito Mussolini who proudly said:
      " That Fascism should be appropriately called Corporatism because of a merger of State & Corporate Power."

      [ UNDERSTAND ]... that is what is going on here today in our government...

      This is a wake-up call for everyone.. and Wikileaks is the Alarm Bell !!!

      [ THINK OF ]... Wikileaks is a global "Virus Protection" software that has shown all of us that our Governments are infected... That there is a trojan virus running in the background - doing things against the interests of all the Citizens & People of our Country... The Citizens that our government was "Mandated to Represent".

      [ A WAKE-UP CALL ]... that Corporations have taken over all our government systems... That now conspire against US with, Monsanto to hide from all of us the content and ingredients of genetically modified food that we now all are forced to eat.

      Corporations like [ MORGAN STANLEY & BANK OF AMERICA ]whose leaders NOW live like royalty on billions of profits from all our dollars and even more Billions from Bailout Bonuses... As they continue to foreclose on ALL our homes forcing [ OUR ] families on to the streets!

      [ CORPORATIONS ] whose leaders NOW..... DEMAND our austerity and DEMAND for all of us to live with LESS.... As they live with MORE!

      YES..... THIS IS A WAKE-UP CALL !!!

      That..... We are all living in historic times... Times when, [ WE ALL ] need to do historic things.

      Yoko Ono said... Even just a small pebble that we drop into the water immediately affects the ocean of the whole planet. I said.... We need bigger pebbles.

      Things that started.... with a small pebble dropped into the ocean.

      Things that grow... into a Large Tsunami(s)...

      Things that start with the truth... and end with Personal Responsibility, Accountability and, Transparency of Government.

      Yes... Speaking The Truth is Courageous...

      [ IT IS NOW UP TO ALL OF US ] ... To Be Courageous Too.

      [ ACT ]... Courageous...
