Episode 0035 - The War on Dissent in the West by Democratic Nations

The "War on Dissent" in the West has all of the sudden become very real and disturbing to Americans and freedom-loving people everywhere! Today Glenn Greenwald ties the beginning of this war to 2010 when the US government failed to prove that Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange violated any laws in leaking government secrets on the internet. Wikileaks embarrassed US officials and now had to pay, either through the courts or some other way. This other way was through extralegal means, without due process, and by pressuring commercial entities, including banks and internet companies to ban Wikileaks from the internet and the financial system. On the show, I demonstrate how this process was actually created out of the "War on Terror" and the laws that were created by Congress to deal with terrorist organizations. Now citizens of the West are terrorists, and limited western democracies have become tyrannical and despotic with access to these NEW TOOLS!
