Wikileaks and the False Blood Trail
If a person was “caught” not guarding the “empty” cookie jar, wouldn’t you tend to imagine the guard pointing away from himself and shouting, “No … he’s the problem!” That’s what this government is doing. And the news media, like a bunch of hounds on a false blood trail, race after WikiLeaks and Assange making great headlines and lots of fact-obliterating noise.
However, if you are a student of classic problem-solving, you know NOT to focus on the outcome (which is the result of the problem) but the cause. The CAUSE is what must be corrected. Wikileaks is not the cause of the problem, it is not even the problem .. it is the result of the problem. So as usual, the media is focusing on “what’s cool” and “what sells” rather than on the problem. (Nice move by the cookie jar guard! … and this is what, in this day and age, is what we expect of the sad joke of news coverage.)
There are two problems:
- “Security” of Documents seems to be an oxymoron for the government
- Private Bradley Manning is a Traitor to the United States of America.
Take every article you read (or hear about) in the media, and if it mentions Wikileaks or Assange … disregard it. Now what is left to talk about? You’ll find scarce information on the problem, 99% of the information is on the RESULT of the problem. The information is all about the damage of the leaks or about Assange, his character and actions. You will find literally nothing about the causes of the problem. (Nice move by the cookie jar guard! … and what, in this day and age, is expected by the sad joke of new coverage.)
Of course until you have proof, you cannot “fix” the problem so it never happens again. But we do have proof on one part of the problem … Private Bradley Manning stole the secret documents and sold them for profit. That makes him a traitor. To solve this part of the problem, the man should be quickly tried, and if found guilty, a swift firing squad. One of the reasons for the penalty of death for a US traitor is prevention of the act in the first place.
Summary:
Don’t be led by the barking of the hounds following the false blood trial … look to the root cause of the risk to US Security … it is not a problem of fanfare, it is a problem of life and death for many US citizens. But with a celebrity-hunting press and a “clever” cookie jar guard … alas most seek solutions where they will not be found.
Once again, at the very heart of the issue is a media that refuses to do the difficult job of researching facts and chooses sensationalism over a sense of moral duty.

Following this story is following a diversion. Who cares about WikiLeaks? Only sensationalists and people easily led astray from the REAL problem … Private Bradley Manning stole the secret documents and sold them. HE is the story! HE is a traitor! And there is only “fluffy” coverage by the press of WikiLeaks. It’s a false blood trail being laid down handily by the people who were guarding the secret cookie jar and a sensationalist press that wouldn’t know a real fact and story if they tripped over it! What is a shame are the sheep that follow … continuing to underscore the “importance” of WikiLeaks … covering up the real story to the the delight of the administration.
