Leaking Empires

Leaking or Bleeding?

The severity of the leaks (Wikileaks) for any government is proportional to the amounts of secrets they hold in their tank. Various governments’ efforts to stop it are also proportional to the sham that preceded it. It could be fraud against their ‘own’ people or conspiracies against the non obeying governments of other sovereign countries.

As long as you speak against each other, you can enjoy your freedom of speech. Me lord has no problems with that but if you dare to say anything against the mighty (Sovereign) governments, then you better run. Our lords (it could be O’Bama of the USA or Julia Gillard of Australia or even measly Sarah Palin) get upset with that. In olden days they could have hanged you in public. In not so old days, they could have assassinated you but we live in different times now. Super powers have to resort to sex assault charges to arrest a freelance journalist. They rate at which the might of these Empires is diminishing, don’t be surprised if next time they charge a journalist for unlawful parking, such as leaving the news radio on in the parked car.

What happened to the mighty Empire?

O’ Bama. All of your horses and all your men?

Where are they?

Can’t they stop the leaks? We know where all the mighty Empires of the past have gone and yours is no exception. Eventually they all collapse and go to their graves. No problems with that. The difference this time around is in the scale of your opponents. How a group of half a dozen persons, with not a single soldier on the ground in 100 plus countries, no Drones flying in the skies or any nuclear sub-marine in world oceans could bring could beat the crap out of all the world powers put together.

What happened to the mighty Empire? Please ‘do something’ to protect the land of liberty and freedom. Go and get him like old Roman Emperors but make sure no one leaks it to Wiki leaks. Alternatively stop doing things that require you to keep them secret. That’s easy one.
