Wikileaks: More and More of Less and Less
Posted on December 20th, 2010
No need to take the red pill or blue pill; you are now living in the Matrix.
Technology is expanding our world exponentially at a mind-boggling pace, but no matter how technical the language, the core issues are all too human – hinged to our being and the fabric of our societies.

The voice continued, “We are Anonymous. What you do or do not know about us is irrelevant.”
Julian Assange Interpol Documents
Posted on December 7th, 2010
Confidential Interpol documents about the global alert on Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. Title is FUGITIVE WANTED FOR PROSECUTION. (Interesting that the red notice misspelled his name “Julien.”) This was given separately by two sources from different countries which prove authenticity. Have redacted code identifying source.
