I catch up on news in the morning on WUWM public radio, 89.7 FM from 8:30 am to 10am.Two broadcasts, (Marketplace morning report and BBC newshour) keep me posted on some of the highlights of the day and around the workd, while the rest of these morons in Milwaukee are completely clueless and focused on vacuous talk radio to the right of the dial.Today, bbcnewshour focused on two very empowering websites, wikileaks.org and cryptome.orghttp://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p006lyl7#p006ygzbReading from U.S. Intelligence plans leaked to destroy WikiLeaks, BBC read aloud what can be found on the site today...."This document is a classifed (SECRET/NOFORN) 32 page U.S. counterintelligence investigation into WikiLeaks. ''The possibility that current employees or moles within DoD or elsewhere in the U.S. government are providing sensitive or classified information to Wikileaks.org cannot be ruled out''. It concocts a plan to fatally marginalize the organization. Since WikiLeaks uses ''trust as a center of gravity by protecting the anonymity and identity of the insiders, leakers or whisteblowers'', the report recommends ''The identification, exposure, termination of employment, criminal prosecution, legal action against current or former insiders, leakers, or whistlblowers could potentially damage or destroy this center of gravity and deter others considering similar actions from using the Wikileaks.org Web site''. [As two years have passed since the date of the report, with no WikiLeaks' source exposed, it appears that this plan was ineffective]. As an odd justificaton for the plan, the report claims that ''Several foreign countries including China, Israel, North Korea, Russia, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe have denounced or blocked access to the Wikileaks.org website''. The report provides further justification by enumerating embarrassing stories broken by WikiLeaks---U.S. equipment expenditure in Iraq, probable U.S. violations of the Chemical Warfare Convention Treaty in Iraq, the battle over the Iraqi town of Fallujah and human rights violations at Guantanamo Bay. "

lol. I can just imagine all my weak-minded dark- aged readers, so-called conservatives, paralyzed in fear staring at their blinking cursors, committed to never clicking on these links let alone tuning into these programs. Which I might add are sponsored by spooky firms like Booz-Allen Hamilton as well as foundations that prop up their failed and self-destructive god, capitalism.
