| I see the WikiLeaks dump to to be a major part of our 'enlightenment'. |
|
This seems to be one of the major things we've been told about and waiting for. The light is shining into those dark corners....yes?

I think the dump is important but am not sure whether it is a major part of the enlightenment.
What do you think of Hillary Clinton's ordering the collection of DNA from UN officials? That is just beyond weird. My mind may be a bit off-kilter but I started thinking of "reptilian people."

what I read said it was done in her name/under her tenure. I assume that she knew about that, but it is possible she was unaware I suppose. I would guess that one does not get that high in the gov't without being read in to some very interesting things. I honestly have no idea.

| 3. It still seems like a giant distraction to me |
|
Something doesn't smell right. Wikileaks is drawing far too much attention to themselves. Why hype the releases through the media before actually releasing anything? Why tantalize people by asking everyone to download the "insurance" file? It's like Wikileaks is going out of their way to make themselves a target.

| 4. Another way to see it is that publicity means safety. |
|
They want as many people to know about the release as they can get, so that many people will notice if there are any problems with the release.

| 5. Seems that there would be better ways to accomplish that, though. |
|
Or at least ways that have a bit more tact. Releasing information in smaller waves instead of one giant chunk, for example, or spreading the release among several parties. The way they're going about it right now screams "LOOK AT ME, I'M A TARGET!" I don't know if they're doing it solely for the attention or if they really are trying to distract us from other areas, but something about the latest release doesn't sit right with me.

And people still make lame excuses with the help of Fox News. There's a ton of crimes out there and we've been sitting back for years feeling we have to hold our tongues in fear we'll be called unpatriotic or worse "conspiracy nuts." The Bush people should have been put in jail years ago. Personally, I'm ready to stop holding back.

I think Wikileaks has a good reason to act that way. Wikileaks' web site was apparently attacked today. We also know the shadow government is quite capable of assassination.

I cannot get a read on why it is happening or what the objective of the Leakers might be.
As some of you know, I've been predicting that a major scandal would hit Washington for quite some time. Like, a major, huge, find a bunker 'cause who knows what they'll do to keep it quiet kind of scandal. International outrage, possible damage to the US government, possible high level resignation or resignations en mass.
Only thing is, I can't figure out where the scandal will first "break." It can't come from MSM because the media is too corrupt, and would never disseminate something so destructive to the system overall. I don't think it comes off a blog because it feels like it's about information that lowly blog writers couldn't get or publicize. After ruling out those two sources, I thought it would almost have to come from the court system--an upsetting SCOTUS ruling, upsetting filing in the civil courts, something like that. But now, I can't help but wonder if the scandalous info comes out of WikiLeaks. The timing is right--my spidey sense has been telling me the scandal would erupt around this time.

last Saturn/Uranus opposition in late July. Though there were prior leaks that was the leak that made the most noticeable splash albeit somewhat sludged by the other more noxious leak in the Gulf.
The timing of wikileak's splash in and of itself suggests that it is *huge* and will have long term repercussions as a major "game changer."
To what ends remains to be seen but it'll have long term fallout for sure for sure.
Very simply, it speaks to the old order vs. the new technology/consciousness.
Note the more than slight disparity.
Yikes.
I totally concur lildreamer.
Best case scenario is we can't go around manipulating and mucking around with the world any longer in secrecy leaving massive carnage in our wake and we'll be encouraged to walk our talk in greater transparency. "Wottaconcept."
Worst case scenario is they'll try to make a boatload of draconian ineffectual restrictions on the internet which will be hacked immediately and Obama will get scapegoated for policies that have been long established.
I vote for the former but sense the likelihood of a mixed bag for a while.
More later.

| 10. We are in for a bumpy ride |
|
I think that all thinking people need to just hold onto our sanity and realize this is going to get bumpy. I wouldn't be surprised if somehow the right didn't manage to destroy the current administration with this before finally being consumed by these revelations themselves. In fact, I (quite unfortunately) feel VERY strongly that this will happen.
I don't see how the world has been made to yawn at such crimes for so damn long. This stuff makes Watergate look like a speeding ticket and it ROCKED THIS NATION. If people wake up a lot of stuff might erupt. No trust in anyone, anywhere.
