We’ve lived so long under the spell of hierarchy—from god-kings to feudal lords to party bosses—that only recently have we awakened to see not only that “regular” citizens have the capacity for self-governance, but that without their engagement our huge global crises cannot be addressed. The changes needed for human society simply to survive, let alone thrive, are so profound that the only way we will move toward them is if we ourselves, regular citizens, feel meaningful ownership of solutions through direct engagement. Our problems are too big, interrelated, and pervasive to yield to directives from on high.

Hillary Clinton: US Losing Information War to Alternative Media [3:43m video]

from Russia Today.

In the video you will see Clinton and the Voice of America representative using the term "we" when they mean US ruling class interests. It is clear that the ruling class is losing the fight to control the minds of working people the world over, and they are panicking. Hence, the aggressive attacks on WikiLeaks.
