Elkus on Wikileaks and Sovereignty

September 4th, 2011 by zen

Let me be blunt.  A late Baby Boomer generation of politicians, bankers, reporters and generals has formed into a cancer inside this democracy, and their tumorous leadership won’t be kind to your future.

Unfortunately, this cancer is not limited to our democracy, it is the root of the decline of the West.

    There’s an old Vulcan proverb: you can’t close the gap outside your core unless you close the gap inside your core.

    When Wikileaks first came out [1], the front page of their website self-referenced them being "the first intelligence agency of the people". Their site seemed to be mostly anti-US.

    I wish I had taken screen shots. Wait…hurray for Archive.org’s Wayback Machine [2]!

    Later they wised up and removed that reference to conceal a bit their real purpose.

    "you can’t close the gap outside your core unless you close the gap inside your core." But if you close the gap inside your core, the gap outside your core can’t see who you really are. Oh, never mind.
