Why I Support WikiLeaks

My name is Jonathan, and I support WikiLeaks, because the greatest leaders in history would’ve done the same:

“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.”
-Buddha

“Speak the truth, and do not yield to anger…”
-Confucius

“They deem him their worst enemy, who tells them the truth.”
-Plato

“The least initial deviation from the truth is multiplied later a thousandfold.”
-Aristotle

“…ye shall know the Truth, and the truth shall set you free.”
-Jesus

“Say what is true, although it may be bitter and displeasing to people.”
-Muhammad

“There is no truth existing which I fear, or would wish unknown to the whole world.”
-Thomas Jefferson

“If you tell the truth you don't have to remember anything.”
-Mark Twain

“Truth never damages a cause that is just.”
-Gandhi

“Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important ones.”
-Albert Eistein

“The truth is found when men are free to pursue it.”
-Franklin Delano Roosevelt

“The world is now too small for anything but 'the truth' and too terrible for anything but 'brotherhood.'”
-Adlai Stevenson

Truth is rock, lies and secrets are sand. When mankind builds upon rock, the structure stands strong, but when we attempt to build upon lies and secrets, it doesn’t take long before our building falls apart.

Historically, the US military has practiced “withholding” of truth based on the premise of “national security”. We are now finding out that in addition to withholding the truth, they are also lying about their actions as seen in leaked videos of Iraqi civilians being killed by US soldiers, recorded by our own surveillance, and leaked by concerned personnel who tried to go thru legal channels but were rebuffed several times over.

If US Military culture has shifted from withholding the truth to lying about their actions, the American people have a right to decide if that culture still suits our beliefs. We fund the military with our tax dollars, and they must be held accountable to us. We’re supposed to be the good guys!

Would we have found out the truth without WikiLeaks? I don’t know, but some questions to ask are, how long has this culture of lying pervaded the military, do they have a reason to stop and how long will the world tolerate distortion of the truth by the most effective killing machine on the planet?

I love America, or I would not seek to hold our leaders accountable. I believe in our military, or I would not attempt to correct what I believe to be a short-sighted, quick-fix to accomplishing their goals. WikiLeaks is a whistle blower operation that has become the most reliable source of truth, since our own media has been manipulated through monopoly takeovers that enable people of power to keep the truth hidden about their actual agendas.

Until our government, our military and our media become accountable, please join me and the millions of people whose eyes have been opened, in supporting WikiLeaks and Julian Assange to insure the truth can be no longer hidden, twisted or spun into that which is no longer truth. Otherwise we are living in the words of Adolf Hitler:
“The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.”

Until next time, this is Jonathan Toth from Hoth signing off, and remember:

Transparency is the Apocalypse…and we’ll find out what that looks like…very soon
