Google Wikileaks and count the number of responses you get that you can fit into the right-left binary. The Wayne Madsen piece linking it to Soros can’t be found (at least, as far as I’ve tried looking for it) in the first FORTY twenty pages, even though it was supposed to have gone viral. I saw it republished it on scores of blogs. It was posted at Alex Constantine’s blog. It was posted at Gerald Celente’s blog. It was tweeted to Glenn Beck. I posted it. Yet it doesn’t show up in 40 20 (let’s be on the safe side in making claims) pages of commentary?

Am I mistaken? In those first 40 20 pages I saw little or no substantial criticism of Wikileaks (anything beyond the left-right polarity I mentioned earlier). Inflaming either of those poles could, I suspect, fuel the  expansion of the war. I did see  Chris Floyd’s piece way back, buried in the middle somewhere. I also saw a well-written Wired piece or two.

Everywhere else, it was denunciations or defense from the mainstream media…. or uncritical acceptance from the alternative press.

And I’m supposed to believe this huge buzz burying any kind of independent critical voice, largely emanating from the main outlets of financial aggrandisement and war-without-end…..or from foundation “activists”…… is, what, a victory for “the people”?
