I see patterns emerging. Not just the Batman and Robin metaphor, but all these cables resemble heavily the rumors and the mentalities I've been noticing all over the tubes for years. It has long since been apparent to me that wherever the United States puts out the worst propaganda, there is where the most probity is bound to be in evidence. Unfortunately—oh, way, so way, unfortunately—few can follow this logic in the vast echo chamber that is our public "discourse." There are quotes around that because what some might call it doesn't cut it for me.

It looks to me as though we might as well have Joe Scarborough or Glenn Beck or Keith Olbermann or Jon Stewart manning our embassies 'round the globe. This is REALLY depressing stuff. And I'm finding it less and less a wonder how people can feel this stuff is bogus, planted propaganda... because that's the NICE PERSON'S take on it. I don't think it is true. In fact, I'm certain it's not, but, yes, indeed, I really am starting to see the logic of it at last. You're wrong. This is the real dope. Every other country on earth does its best to placate our psychopathic mentality because we have shown over and over and over again what happens when you don't dance to our tune, and tough shit how many of us have starved and died to keep The Joker's arsenal honed. Like I said before, be grateful for the ketchup.

This is not propaganda. This wasn't a plant. It's the beautiful filthy truth. They're as hypnotized as we are.

This is who we are and who we have to deal with.

Probably the biggest mistake Julian made was making this fully available to the major newspapers first. He should have given it to many independent journalists to all publish on WikiLeaks itself, since its pretty certain he doesn't have the wherewithal to have had it all digested and explained to people who need help parsing the veracity and the context on each bit of material. No doubt the old warhorses, Hersh and Fisk have way more faith in their colleagues at the major papers than is actually warranted these days. But I tell myself it may not be too late to get an army of writers ON this. I know the hope is that each of us out here will pluck what we want from the sea of cables and run with it, either on our blogs or in our conversations with others, but I think it needs to be more organized than that. You might agree by now that the material needs to be accompanied by at least some cogent commentary to help keep people from going pathologically stupid and/or paranoid behind it. That IS the reason it gets released to the big news outlets, but I think it was foreseeable that they'd immediately do more harm than good with it, even if I understand why Fisk and Hersh might be a little blind to this, even for as exasperated with the general state of the press as they are.

I want to remind you again that if our country were not broken, not completely owned and operated by CRIMINALS, there would have been no need for WikiLeaks at all. But everyone will be distracted from the actual by the hit jobs on the actual we're getting, EVEN as the actual is RIGHT HERE under our noses to deal with. I want my cave in China... with a claw foot tub.

Maybe Julian will want to come along:

Assange is widely believed to be residing in southeast England, according to media reports.

Mark Stephens, his lawyer, said that British police and the security services of several nations knew his whereabouts, but did not confirm his location.

"The [British] police are being slightly foxy in their answers, but they know exactly how to get in touch with him, as do the Swedish prosecutors," he told the AFP news agency.

"Both the British and the Swedish authorities know how to contact him, and the security services know exactly where he is,'' he said in a separate interview to the the Associated Press.

I can't fathom he's enjoying this. In fact, I'm certain he's not.
