Wikileaks ?
At a time, people used brain and facts.Nowadays, people use facts like a 3 years old baby munching puzzle pieces, a lot a lot a lot of pieces, sucked, eaten and badly digested, blurped in a strange gray puree.
It's fantastic to read these cables
I didn't know United States had such beautiful brains (erm, I mean, reading their kind of press, one may wonder, erm, sorry)
I hope they become journalists, when they leave their job far away from home, and want to settle down somewhere.
I was reading and an extraordinary thing came to my mind waow...
They KNOW what they speak about
They KNOW their subjects... (subjets. Funny, I know)
It seems the time of translators helping twist things in the sole name of hidden agendas is over (1) .
Agendas are still here, of course. And this sort of typical pathological hate, too. Just read some comments you can find pre-wikileaks, even... and smile. It's just so usual... (2)
No, of course, agendas, are what they are. This is what "politics" is about, but there seems to be a more balanced view on things. And a real need to understand the other point of view. (to hit him better, where it hurts, is Politis, too)
So, waow.To read this made my day. :)
Erm, yes, I don't play "scoop" with absurd speculations. I just read what I could. Not much, for the moment. But what I read was Simple. Up to the point. Clear. No time lost at useless blabla. It makes me remember my old "chef". The one who made Korea's war as a war correspondant and told me never to mix "journalism" and "comments"... :) (I'm a mother commenting the global shit nowadays. Just now, I'm preparing a quinces gelée according to my grandma's receipe)

What a supreme pleasure to read this !
Even if there is strange editing. Of course
Even if once again one wonders how the most interesting country of the world (statistically... see image ) is dismissed by all like a 3rd class person on a ship where everybody is so "brilliiiont"
Even if, of course, real sensible matters, don't pass through embassies, but intelligence services ... and even if this may explain some "funny" silences... it's an interesting experience to read people (these guys and women who work for the States) who, strangely, seem to have less an AGENDA of Crunching the other, than some little Class Z commentators believing it takes a tie and a prompter to be a "journalist" and report decently facts, or believe it takes some yellow decor and You Tube to play emo-tional... commentator. Pff
So mainly I would resume like this : wikileaks proved that even when they have nothing to say some people, some propagandists (you want names ? really ? I don't really want to enter in their century old game ) invent absurd idiocies and shit funnily on the same shoes as always.
In this sense, wikileaks is beautiful as it gives the exact measure of some hateful channels.
I loved the experience.
I love people who know what they speak about.
I love people who know what they speak about.
As simple as that.
And well, it gives me hope....
Yes
Hope. In one word.
Above all these scheming little havoc lovers , here and there, passing their bogus messages of hate, their twisted way to see this or that, to read some basic good sense, is really, cool.
It's such a change coming from this part of the world !
I have read portraits that made me laugh out loud, resumés of situation full of "intelligence" in the good sense of the word.
And all this made me remember my youth. When some newspapers were cited as examples of simple good sense, presenting facts, background... and made me dream of an ideal of Truth to pass on and attain. An idea of Justice. And Respect. For all.
Sour-sweet thing to find this, here.

(1) Like secretary and translator Andonian helping from 1913 to 1916 US Ambassador Morgenthau's view on Turks (he didn't speak any Turkish), for instance, and demonising them, so United States would enter in WWI and fight "The Beast" for instance.
.
(2) About one presumed leak :
US helped PKK (known fact) "but" Turkey helped Al-Kaida that I could read, mostly on the lovely sources of always (a pathological psychiatric problem at this level)
About Links with Terrorist organisations. Who helps whom ?
And ... "accessory" thought for the arrogant lesson givers : Who dies ?
Some background about Al-Kaida and its links on the ground, in Turkey :
"In addition to KADEK, radical Islamist groups such as IBDA-C and Germany-based Federated Islamic State of Anatolia were also excluded from the EU's terror list, updated by the European Council."
Turkish Daily News 21.09.2003 (sorry my 2 first blogs disappeared, puF... so it's an old written source)
Note the date. It was just before November, Istanbul 2003.
Turkey was accused and condemned, too, by Europe and other Human Rights Organisations for putting in prison these adorable people.
After the bombings, and proof of the links to al-kaida of these sweet people that UE protected, and in the name of whom had taken Turkey in front of Court of Human Rights, IBDA was put on their list of bad boys
"The Council of the European Union (the 15 EU governments) decided on 22 December to update - by written procedure - to update the European Union list of terrorist organisations and persons linked to terrorist activities, which was first adopted in December 2001 in the wake of the terrorist attacks on 11 September and last updated on 27 June 2003. These updates were published on 24 December.
The changes to the 1st list (inside EU) are that seven members of ETA have been removed from the list of individuals (18 members of ETA remain on the list) and Great Islamic Warriors Front (IBDA-C) in Turkey have been added to the organisations"

It's easy to put on or off names on a list. It's not a matter of life or death, seen from Paris, London, Madrid or New York, where the deathes that count live.
And who cares if some nations are constantly trashed ?

"Intelligence" is the word the world lacks mostly.
No wonder that people seeing societies burying themselves under tons of informations but unable to become Man or Woman, Human enough, some people freak out and turn back their heels to all this.
Intelligence is what this world misses most
And it's such a shame.
To know the other, is the beginning of understanding the other. To understand the other, is to love the other, or at least, make it impossible to hate him.
