Wikileaks vs. Wall Street in a war for our souls

[Joanne98]

ARROYO GRANDE, Calif. (MarketWatch) — Yes, it’s war. Wikileakers vs Wall Street’s mafia-like code of silence ... Wall Street’s obsessive secrecy ... Wall Street’s war against transparency … Wall Street’s relentless lobbying to defeat all government efforts to expose how much Wall Street is stealing from middle-class taxpayers, investors and retirees.

A war to the death. No compromise. No quarter. No surrender. A war that ends only if wikileakers, whistleblowers and wikihackers crack open Wall Street’s darkest secrets. Or when Wall Street wins and along the way destroys the American middle class.

Master wikileaker Julian Assange is on “Wanted” posters, on Forbes, the New York Times, 60 Minutes, everywhere. Wall Street is pushing government to silence this guy. He went public with a half million classified U.S. government, military and diplomatic documents.

Worse, he’s created a whole new industry of wikileaker-clones. And soon, he will be releasing a “doomsday file” on Bank of America, exposing a vast “eco-system of corruption” throughout Wall Street banking. Bigger than “the e-mails released by the Enron court,” said Assange in a Forbes interview.

1. Massive misunderstanding of Wikileaks in the article, and

the readers comments are horrifying.

Apart from that, I think/hope the article's on the right track.
