Ever since I got on to the internet in 1996 I have been “in love” with it – for many, many different reasons. But the most important reason, in my judgement, is how the internet is a tool for freedom.

Before the internet we had to rely on TV and newspapers to tell us the news and what’s going on. Now, in the internet age, we can all see what a miserable job those mediums did in informing us. Why? Because on the net you can read the full spectrum of news and opinion on every imaginable topic.

And no topic is so fascinating as illuminating the ways we get screwed by governments.

It is in this field that the internet excels. It provides an uncensored window to the world of power and corruption. For never let it be forgotten that government is nothing more than a legal protection racket writ large. And much-touted democracy is just sugar coating to help sweeten the bitter pill of submission and servitude.

One organisation feeling the “heat” from governments is WikiLeaks – a brave little outfit that obtains secret and classified documents from various official sources and makes them available to the public.

An interesting report by Glenn Greenwald on Salon.com alerted me to this organisation and also some samples of the sort of information they make available for download – including a CIA report which discloses strategies for ensuring citizens in Western Europe support the Afghan war. It’s fascinating to learn how this particular arm of the US government wants to manipulate public opinion in other countries.

As you can imagine, WikiLeaks is facing serious legal challenges from our imperial “masters” who don’t want us to know such things. So I just want to salute them in their mission to bring transparency in the dealings of those who would deceive and enslave us.
