the polite passive tone? If so, then one should not take it seriously. The whole thing is semiotic.

If granted real authority, once WikiLeaks sets its sights on other countries, the fallout could be drastic. Leaked information could severely damage the social stability of nations that are not able to handle the release of so much sensitive information. An information tsunami is flooding every country, but different countries have different abilities to control and absorb it. Developed countries, especially the US, dominate the global flow of information at the moment. Countries like China, despite their rising status in the information world, must have a line of defense against a hurtful information campaign.

It may be worth asking. And what does it mean to other countries that are on the radar screen of WikiLeaks? Over one the conspirscy newsgroup, the CIA is behind Wikileaks; Mossad is; The Israeli government is; or it's a diversion so that (some unnamed) They can do something nefarious un-noticed. At another conspiracy-minded (and perhaps less than meticulously factual) source: WIKILEAKS delivers massive blow on American usury Publication time: 2 December 2010, 13:19 According to the democratic media outlets, Assange warned that the next disclosure will deal with "a large U.S. bank". The warning caused panic in the U.S. Depositors rushed to withdraw money from the Bank of America and Goldman Sachs. Shares of these major usurious parasitic dens plummeted. Christianity and Islam strictly prohibit usury (bank interest). Earlier in 2009, Assange said in an interview that he has huge discrediting evidence on the Bank of America. <http://www.kavkazcenter.com/eng/content/2010/12/02/13042.shtml> http://www.kavkazcenter.com/eng/content/2010/12/02/13042.shtml FWIW, -- Michael Spencer Nova Scotia, Canada .~. /V\ [email protected] /( )\ <http://home.tallships.ca/mspencer/> http://home.tallships.ca/mspencer/ ^^-^^ _______________________________________________ Futurework mailing list [email protected] <https://lists.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/futurework> https://lists.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/futurework
