How perspicacious she is to note the parallels between Mr. Assange and Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard! Mr. Hubbard claimed to be a nuclear physicist; Mr. Assange claims to be a mathematician. Mr. Hubbard wrote a book, “Excalibur,” that he believed would “revolutionize everything” and “would have a greater impact upon people than the Bible.” Mr. Assange has also written a book.

Scientology operatives plotted to plant false records about “a cat with a pedigree name” into United States government computers in order to ridicule their security systems. Assange, a notorious cat-torturer, has challenged the security of U.S. Government agencies since 1989. Scientologists stole thousands of government documents; the new WikiLeaks mockumentary is entitled “We Steal Secrets.” Mr. Hubbard extracted hundreds of thousands of dollars from his followers and cruised the world in his fleet of yachts, as Mr. Assange does today.

I’m sorry Ms. Khan lost twenty thousand pounds, but look on the bright side: she’ll now be able to fit into those topless, backless, frontless dresses hanging in the far reaches of her walk-in closet.

I see mainstream reporters and journalists to be one and the same as part-time bloggers these days. Ask the stupid questions, and leave the glaringly obvious ones stewing, like a metaphorical elephant in the room. It’s disgusting that people can’t see through the fabrications and half truths, and actually take a “governments word” at face value. Are people not awake to the fact that givernments lie constantly? Every day? To ordinary citizens? Our own government won’t even lift a finger to help an Australian citizen, who has broken NO laws. There is NO law against publishing, yes, PUBLISHING, material, that come to Wikileaks, unless of course, it is found that it endangered national security or the risk of human life, which I for one, can’t find evidence of anywhere. Does this not reek of a hidden agenda to you blind “authors” and “journo’s” out there?

Seriously, you government loving “reporters” or “politicians”, have everything so focused on the propoganda and the garbage the media feeds you, that it makes me sick.

Jen Robinson, you’re a bright star in the murky sky of this case, you’ve been there from day 1 with Julian (shout-out to Scott Ludlam also), and you keep my faith in humanity going. Keep it up.
