One more reason to appreciate Wikileaks is now evident, beyond its brave publication of information to inform people and anger, embarrass, and constrain the state. Because of the boldness of tiny independent Wikileaks (relative to the warfare-welfare state everywhere), we now see the raw truth about Washington and where we are technologically and politically at the end of 2010. The mad state now openly dictates business decisions to Amazon and PayPal. Which chapter from “It Can’t Happen Here” are we reading now?
