    the 21st Century Robber Barons must be taken out of commission. They have essentially taken over the governments of most western nations. They (FEDS)have secretly given the Banksters 9 TRILLION $$$ without reporting the secret transaction to the people. This is the kind of people Assange and Friends are trying to expose. They have lied to us and illegally invaded Iraq. The first Bush President was a CIA operative and lied about it during the years of the JFK assassination. Lo and behold his son Bush is elected President. Just wait till his other son comes to power. The mainstream media is so fearful of the powers of government that they do not report activities that erode our civil liberties (G20_Toronto). Let the Cyber WAR continue and let freedom reign.
