Arguments Against Wikileaks Fall Short

Though I have no connection with Wikileaks, I do support their work.

The last decade has brought too much death and destruction to imagine that our governments can be blindly trusted to do what is right. We must know what their real goals are so that we know they are working for us to do what they were elected to do. Without that, we are blind to what is being done in our name. The fact that they attempt to hide so much information is a clear indication that they are not working in our interests.

Just name one piece of classified info. Just one. I'll go away if you can.

@IranContraScumDid911 Don't you fucking get what the info is? It is diplomatic cables. Just because it isn't the secret paperwork of the illuminati or whatever the hell schizophrenics like you are looking for, doesn't make it less valid. Yeah, it isn't top secret stuff, but it is classified. It is fucking evidence that normally someone might spend years trying to get through FOIA. Goddamn you're dumb. I'm glad you're just some unimportant fake historian and not someone's lawyer. Jesus Christ.

This "Americansforchange" guy is a full on troll! You have not been able to name one thing that was "classified" that we did not already know, thus wikileaks is wikifake. Just name one classified piece of information, you can't. I can name plenty of false diversionary crap from wikileaks. If your stupid and have a 40IQ, plus did not pay attention to the events going on around you for the past 20 years, the cult personality of assange would be something for you. Who cares if it is factual right?

[AmericansForChange]

@IranContraScumDid911 You are so full of shit. You think you're really smart. No wonder you can't "solve" 9/11. You don't know the difference between thinking you know something and having actual evidence. You're a pathetic small minded idiot. Or I'm getting massively trolled.

[IranContraScumDid911]

@AmericansForChange Read a history book and pay attention. Your a TROLL!

[AmericansForChange]

@IranContraScumDid911 No. You're a troll. Good luck with your investigation you massive douchebag. Please let me know when you've pinned 9/11 on the Iran Contra scum. We also eagerly await your solving of the JFK assassination, and the mysterious death of 19th Century President Zachary Taylor. Meanwhile, the rest of us will be engaged with the current, actual world. Be sure to use pen when writing on your history book on scraps of paper and gum wrappers. I'm sure you make your family proud.

@Bretski30 Ah, this was the part of the video I left out:

Argument #3: "Wikileaks actions will cause governments to be more closed, not more open."

This argument is valid in the sense that yes, some governments may choose to become more secretive. But this argument, wrongly, seems to assume that governments can go ahead and become more secretive and it will not harm them. This is not the case. This is actually key to the entire process Wikileaks hopes, as I understand it, to set into motion.

[Bretski30]

Great work, excellent arguments.. another argument is to measure what outcomes result from certain events. over the last decade we have seen sweeping changes. wikileaks has shone a light on some of the end effects of these changes. However, my fear is now that it is almost predictable that Gov will use wikileaks to radically change free speech laws as well as bring about control of the net via censorship and the end of net neutrality.

[IranContraScumDid911]

@AmericansForChange You are chasing me around videos commenting in response to what I have to say, not coming up with your own material. That is a TROLL! If DNA and a confession were given to you, you would not believe or even want to believe. You are wasting my time.

[leandracleo72]

love your work . .. you are a star, your arguments are awesome . . . . and I agree with the comments I think that WikiLeaks will cause governments to look at freedom of speech laws and maker it tougher for people to speak up . . . they will tighten laws so that they can control the internet more via censorship . . .if that happens I pray that the citizens of those countries stand up and make themselves heard and tell them to stick it ;-)

"Isn't there some need for secrecy? Would you want wikileaks to release your credit card numbers?" - Bullshit!!!

Better: "Would you want to become public as a murderer or even a monster?"/

"Do you want to know, that journalists were killed by murderer?"

Yesh, i know, the war is neccessary, to bring peace and democracy - with thousand of killed soldiers... but there are still intelligent citizen which prefer the truth about war, instead of the secrecy of something you wanna believe it's right.
