I  <3  WIKILEAKS


As the wikileaks news broke all across the world re-defining media and journalism, I went googling, what is wikileaks? (google Wikileaks -Can't give you url to wikileaks since 'they' keep shutting them down, but no worries, there are mirror sites, you can add one too , look into mirrors page in the site) what is all  this hullabaloo about?. I went through one story to another, digesting the video interview at by Assange at TED and the documentary by the wiki rebels on Wikileaks and Julian Assange, the making of wikileaks, the growth of wikileaks, the articles they leaked, the offensive by various governments and organizations and the majority of sympathy and support coming through various quarters of the hackers world, the common man, the media houses and curiously some governments.

After all that, I have understood one thing, the world needs wikileaks and needs it badly. These are the times when corruption, under table dealings and debauchery are common, Truth, valour, virtue are things that superheroes are made of, in short stuff that you dream of; wikileaks comes as the beacon of light in these dark times, standing firm against the perpetrators and does not hesitate to  show them in their true light. I believe Julian, and the evidence so far shows it too ,  is an innocent victim of the double dealing governments who want to shutdown wikileaks and running this lowly smear campaign since they are unable to find any law broken, to book wikileaks and its founders.

I hope and hope from deep inside my heart, that wikileaks lives on, that Julian and his team keep continuing leaking the dark secrets our governments and other corporates that hoodwink us from and force them to fear that they cannot get away with their deceits and lies and restore back a little of hope that our world is not so hopeless after all. Hail wikileaks!
