Life, Liberty, and Options

 Fears that Wikileaks might have been put out of business – particularly at a time when it was making public the dark email secrets the Clinton mob was desirous of keeping hidden – were eased by a later report that Wikileaks is now operating under contingency plans. Knowing that his organization was a threat to the ambitions of those who want violent power over the rest of mankind, Assange provided for alternative means of communicating to the general public should its initial system be compromised.

That the institutional order fears having the public know what it knows should disturb all decent, intelligent minds. The political establishment is so terrified of the liberty of men and women to express ideas and information contrary to its interests that it must lock away the speakers of truth (e.g., Chelsea Manning, Assange, Ed Snowden). It also works to destroy  the system that facilitates such communications (e.g. the Internet). Ever since Gutenberg's invention, the ruling classes have labored to keep minds in lockstep formation. Dissenters, free-thinkers, and those who pursued truth unimpeded by coercively-enforced doctrines and dogmas, have faced censorship, heresy trials, imprisonment, being burned at the stake or hanged as witches, having their brains forcibly lobotomized or chemically stupefied, prosecution for treason or for revealing guarded state secrets, or other coercive means designed to isolate the virus of free, energized minds.
