The ever-increasing upswell of people supporting the Wikileaks media service has created new rallies to show their support. Below is a list of the new ones.
Considering some of the recent revelations, is it any surprise people are more and more in support of them? Here’s a quick round up of what was written around the world yesterday:
- Consult us before using intelligence to commit war crimes, US tells Uganda – Not, which one would expect ‘don’t commit war crimes.Read more
- Shell’s grip on Nigerian state revealed – Well if you are going to not give them what they want, what choice do they have? Corporate greed run rampant. Read more
- US ‘lobbied Russia on behalf of Visa and MasterCard’ Read more (no wonder Visa stopped accepting payment. Visa, Mastercard and the Govt are all in a three-way love-fest. Must be why they run rampant with their anti-consumer ways.
- American Officials Pressed Germans to not arrest C.I.A. agents who kidnapped German Citizen – I wonder if they said something like ‘remember what we did for you in WWII’ Read more
- Americans had the Aussie Federal Labor Minister as their informant – Well if you’re going to have anyone, it might as well be at the highest levels right? Read more
- Lockerbie bomber freed after Gaddafi’s ‘thuggish’ threats – They didn’t want to risk a BOMBER dying in prison because Libya would get violent. Sure, let him go so he can go bomb more innocent civilians, well done! Read more
- UK PM says no Trident Nuclear program, secret cables say “ignore him, we’re proceeding” – Awesome! The ultimate two-faced political approach, lie to our faces. Read more
