Julian Assange: Nobody Likes A Tattletale Whistleblower December 17, 2010 | ISSUE 46•50
Although Julian Assange sparked a media firestorm when he revealed thousands of pages of Pentagon reports proving that the U.S. military concealed more than 15,000 civilian deaths in Iraq, that rampant corruption and negligence among private contractors there poses a profound security risk, and that the U.S. State Department continually questions the strength of Russia's democracy, the fact remains that nobody wants to listen to an annoying little tattler.
Numerous sources have confirmed that the 39-year-old founder of WikiLeaks should just quit worrying about what every world power is up to, and shouldn't go squealing to everyone about how the U.S. thinks the prime minister of Italy is feckless and ineffective. While his parents probably taught him it's impolite to be a sniveling little pip-squeak, Assange still told on America for failing to investigate reports of abuse, rape, and murder by Iraqi police and soldiers, even though it's not his job to be the boss of this country. The whistle-blowing know-it-all is from Australia, so it really has nothing to do with him. Who is he trying to impress, anyway?
Seriously, get a life.
When Assange obtained evidence that an Apache helicopter killed 12 people, including two journalists, during a 2007 air strike in Baghdad, the whiny big mouth repeatedly threatened to tell on the U.S. Army, as if the whole military was going to be in soooo much trouble because of some stupid video footage. And though the Chinese government ordered attacks on American computer networks, it's still none of your beeswax, Julian. You're nothing but a big baby who wants special attention and cries all the time because world leaders call Mahmoud Ahmadinejad "Hitler" in private, but refuse to do so on the record. Boohoo! Don't you have somebody else to irritate? Everybody wants you to go away. And you have a girl's name. Creep.

That could have been written by one Jerry Peoples.

I don't think some of the information released has been helpful, especially with regards to wires leaked from U.S. embassies. But the information that changed Kenyan elections in 2007, the information on friendly fire and collateral damage by U.S. forces, and the information on Albanian oil spills are some examples of things the world public should and needed to know about. I think it's helpful that apparently the New York Times, Der Spiegel, The Guardian, and other newspapers are now advising Wikileaks operators on the information they decide to release. Assange is just a figurehead in this: he ISN'T Wikileaks.

To be fair, the world could fall in on itself and become a smoldering husk of fragmented, desperate communities that subscribe to neither place nor philosophy...effectively rendering hundreds of years worth of social and scientific advancement obsolete...and it would be nothing more than a thread in the News and Debate forum of this any other boards, mostly filled by funny pictures and internal humor.
Actually, it would be pretty badass if a thousand years from now all the aliens found to remember us by was the internet.
