Capital's war against WikiLeaks

by Mark LeVine from Al Jazeera.

 ...Assange is right that there is something "neo", if not exactly new, in the way the corporate sector is behaving today and its relationship with government. It lies in the embrace - or better, re-embrace - of finance capitalism and militaristic empire and the military industrial complex that sustains it.

They depend on the public knowing as little as possible about their inner workings to secure the greatest possible freedom of action, power and profits.

He prefaced his article with the question:
