Seems like things are shaking up lately. For instance the “attack” on Prince Charles of the United Kingdom by some really pissed off students (with good cause).

Student protests in London

Charles’ office, Clarence House, confirmed the attack but said “their royal highnesses are unharmed.”

Police said it was unclear whether the royals had been deliberately targeted, or were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The couple arrived looking composed at the London Palladium theater, where they were attending a Royal Variety Performance. Their Rolls Royce limousine was left with a badly cracked rear window and was spattered with paint.

Protesters erupted in anger after legislators in the House of Commons approved a plan to triple university fees to 9,000 pounds ($14,000) a year.

As thousands of students were corralled by police near Parliament, some strummed guitars and sang Beatles songs — but others hurled chunks of paving stones at police and smashed windows in a government building.—————————————

Julian Assange

the founder of Wikileaks

was accused of rape and was arrested but how much of this was a publicity ploy and a way to give him credibility in the blogosphere? Some researchers and detractors have brought up some interesting points. Allegedly he has taken money from the Israeli government to censor some of his leaks for anything that might make Israeli policy look bad. So does that mean we should discount everything he may say or leak? Certainly not. When using any news sources the reader needs to be able to filter out the personal biases of the authors or publisher. So if your looking for any dirt on the Israeli government don’t bother going to Wikileaks if it’s true that they are getting money from that sponsor.

Its true that the leaks, as reported, could show a slant against Iran but any information put into context of anyone could show anything you want it to. Again it comes down to doing your own homework,verifying and checking the facts. Another point to note is the cables that were leaked are not exactly hard intelligence and others had access to these documents before they were “leaked”. I remember seeing a bumper sticker that “Rugby players eat their dead” there should be one like that for “conspiracy theorists”, lol. I do find it a bit suspicious that Wikileaks a new comer on the scene has gotten so much international attention as compared to other whistle-blower sites ,such as What Really Happened , Conspiracy Cafe and The Alex Jones Show,have been around for years giving timely news scoops and not just sitting on things and waiting for the hype to build up.
