Carl Ford (the fat guy on the right with a beard) is a double-talking lying piece of shit.

Also, from where the hell will the public get their news?!?! from corporate CNN and FauxNews?! please! The US gov has done EVERYTHING possible to keep real news channels out of the country, i.e. Al Jazeera!

The American public is being dumbed down by the second.

The opening question sequence to Carl Ford tells the whole story...

>>Where we can do this?

The positive fact (and scaring, same time) is that the world becomes more transparent year by year. We have independent source of information now - the internet. Google, twitter, FB, any media and wikileaks.

Government just have no possibility to stop it. Assange must be released. He's just a first who did it. It would happen anyway. Relax, politicians, and enjoy new life.

>>This is just an example why people should know what government does in fact in their name.

I also absolutely agree with the thought that transparent government tends to be a just government.

Simple rule: if you don't want to be caught in a lie, then DON'T lie. If don't want to suffer disgrace, don't play a mean trick.

The sad fact is that majority of politicians are liars, and as they have a power they will never let Wikileaks act freely. People need to vote for (or against) the truth.>>

Thanks for the debates, very interesting. Indeed , governments act in the names of people. When soldiers, for instance, humiliate, rape and kill ordinary people, the latter send terrorists to "agressor's" land who kill also ordinary people, because, as terrorists think (watch any terrorist speech on youtube, Nord-Ost's, for instance) that people of country-agressor guilty of any violence done by government. Because people could stop their government from doing it.>>

@thebytegrill I think, embrace technology, and "reject the system dictating the norms."

@elbowbiter1

Do not lose hope!

It's true that all we really vote for is the party of criminals that's going to bugger us for the next whole term. I think it's bloody barbaric and medieval. Fact of life is nobody can be trusted, specially those with the 'power' to be elected.

The only entity with the potential for true democratic operation on the surface of this earth is technology. Do not be afraid of technology, being afraid is what the most accomplished criminals want you to think!

@thebytegrill Thank you for saying that. I can't figure out why people want to remain trapped in the past, as if they somehow regret the responsibility of having a brain of their own, so rather look for direction from dead strangers. It's a fucking miracle really. Besides, the issue about wikileaks is that people should not be able to maintain secrets... a state should not prosper because it failed to divulge all information, an econo-socio-political model should not need to rely on secrecy.
