I find the fact that all this stuff is happening is good for children or ignoramuses, but nothing from the whole WikiLeaks/Assange saga we've been watching the past year has been shocking. Every "secret" that has been revealed merely confirmed what I had already accepted as truth anyway. The fact that none of these leaks cause people to take any real action, to me, shows that we are not made to be righteous or honorable.
I was thinking about the situation with the woman in Iran, who was accused of murdering her ex-mans new lover (or some kind of similar drama). She had alledgedly admitted the crime, but later on changed her story, saying she was forced to plead guilty. She was then hung in the past few weeks. When the story came up it made a lot of noise. I guess a lot of people, like me, were questioning the legal procedures in a country "like" Iran. Maybe the bitch was guilty all along, but my heart was rooting for her to be aquitted and make it. Iirc, initially the punishment was supposed to be stoning, but was then changed to hanging due to world opinion putting pressure on them. Maybe I am making that last bit up.
So what I then remember happened was, a bunch of human rights activists were crying for action from western nations, and "everybody" was on a trip about it. Nothing happened to improve her situation, no one did anything, and she was eventually hung. Let's assume she was innocent. The whole world put on a show for ourselves so we could ease our conscience and accept the fact that a potentially innocent woman was killed by her own people and country, and I'm trying to figure out why, and what comes to me is what I know about humans and compassion and a desire to do good, coupled with what I know about humans, sense of ownership and ego. We ease our conscience because we take collective responsibility. We feel the responsibility, we just don't feel any encouragement to do anything about anything that doesn't benefit us.
We don't need Wikileaks' reveals to tell us how the world works, we can all see the surface and most of us are able to see underneath it as well. My point with all this is, that this is why I find the persecution of Assange and Wikileaks to be so weird. Assange is being arrested, and they are attempting to stop Wikileaks, so they can continue their endorsed lying. We teach our children that lying is bad, we teach our children all these values so they can grow up and imprison people who try to honor those values, so that we can secretly keep breaking the values our forefathers taught us? It makes no sense whatsoever. I hate the world and politics, and people.
That was mostly in respect to the whole situation. I don't have many thoughts on the rape persecution other than it seems very, very convenient. Just the timing and everything. The sexual assault case is old. Yet suddenly Interpol wants him for questioning. O rly. I always believed Pac was set up, and I believe Assange was setup too.
With respects to the four points, I am infuriated by them, but again, it doesn't surprise me one last bit. And that fact; the fact it doesn't surprise me, is what actually surprises me about all this. How mundane and trivial these reveals feel when they hit me. I believe government, church and business should be three ventures, not one. I am a bit of a democratic socialist. I like the idea of a governing body but not at the expense of freedom. I very much disagreed with the what-do-you-call-it that Bush put into place, where the US can track their citizen on the internet and spy on them without warrants. It had a fancy name. The fact that he US government controls my credit company is crazy to me because I am not American.
Daring suggestion: The world will be a better place when the US, Russia and China all experience civil wars that split them into smaller bodies. I didn't choose where I was born, but I do happen to like my area and would defend it. That has nothing to do with Norway and everything to do with my life and my emotions. When six hundred billion people happen to be born in the same country, they don't fight for that country because they actually love the country, or if they do their government has done a fine job subtly brainwashing them. People fight for the people they love and the ideas they treasure, and if that's a nation, than from an objective point of observation, that seems totally random that someone were born in a country and happens to be willing to die for that country. Another part of it is, if you think about it, how random it is who becomes President in the US. We can count the amount of presidents you had the past 200 years, but god knows how many people have lived and died, so really, the chances of becoming someone who has a say in the US' affairs are so small that that, too, seems like a lottery. Coupling these two things, I can't help but think that the US is like the kid in school who really is a loser, but who had the coolest toys, so everyone pretended to be his friend until toys no longer mattered. Why should one country have such a large landmass that you become the most powerful "by default". Why isn't that country spread into several smaller countries, for no other reason than to not give erronous human beings more power than they can handle, which is what is happening now?
Now, for the sexual assault charges, there is something weird about it, the case has been pending for quite some time, I believe. In addition, it looked like the case was working in his favour; that the sex was consensual... but it did a complete 180 and now he's pretty much heading to prison.
