Daniel Ellsberg, dubbed the most dangerous man in America, thinks of these people as heroes and patriots, I do too.
Freedom must be defended. Can you imagine $100+ million dollars in Wikileaks coffers? That would send a huge message to our failed governments.
Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, said “The Web as we know it [is] being threatened.” He said this in reference to the FCC net neutrality regulations. I believe Wikileaks is part of this same argument though.
Its true for many reasons. This is on the heals of TSA fiasco, and the Blacklist bill that is being pushed through!
"Genachowski then went on the explain why he believes the newly approved rule adopting Net Neutrality regulations is basically a good thing. Genachowski’s statement said that Internet users have the right to know the terms regulating their Internet access and how their network is being managed. He also said that customers have the right to send and receive lawful traffic without hindrance by Internet providers."(eWeek.com)
That goes for Wikileaks.org too, I hope. I believe we have the right to have open and free dialog about our governments, enter OpenLeaks.org. If ISP's, Banks, and Governments want to control our freedoms then we have a DUTY to combat this, in a civil manner I might add, to vote a more "Constitutional Government" into office and with our purchasing powers. This current Government, somehow, believes there is an uncodified constitution, and only because we are allowing that wrong to happen.
To quote something Dr. Bahnsen said in a book of his, I am currently reading, about Theonomic Ethics (Highly recommended and worth the read, BTW).
[Christian] "ethics likewise rejects legal positivism and maintains that there is a "law above the (civil) law" to which appeal can be made against the tyranny of rulers and the anarchy of overzealous reformers alike. Since Jesus Christ is Lord over all [Absolute Authority], civil magistrates are His servants and owe obedience to His revealed standards for them. There is no Biblically based justification for exempting civil authorities from responsibility to the universal standards of justice found in God's Old Testament revelation. Therefore, in the absence of Biblically grounded argumentation which releases the civil magistrate from Old Testament social norms, it follows from our previous premises that in the exercise of their offices, rulers are morally responsible to obey the revealed standards of social justice in the Old Testament law. This does not mean, however, that civil rulers have unlimited authority to intrude just anywhere into the affairs of men and societies; their legitimate sphere is restricted to what God's word has authorized them to do - thus calling for a limited role for civil government. Finally, Christians are urged to use persuasive and "democratic" means of social reform."
Even the Atheist Benjamin Franklin said, whoever would trade liberty for some temporary security, deserves neither liberty nor security. I completely agree.
Whether we allow the government to rule the people, or the people rule the government, this will be the point in history where the people gave up, and gave in, to fascism or stood up and buried it.
Do you really want to go down without a fight? It's time to Man Up, again. Stand for something, but stand never-the-less.

The Bible says you will all allow Fascism to reign. Do you really want to prove the Bible right...again?
