Also, unless Time altered it's policy this year, what is there to suggest that the selection of Zuckerburg is strategic? And what do you perceive is the objective of said strategy?

Not to speak for CJ but if you think that everything going on in the world spins around a center inhabited by Julian Assange, you would likely see this a strategic move on some force's part.

The Forces of Transparent Truth arrange so it's Zuckerman thus taking some of the heat off Assange while still promoting the cause.

The Forces of Shadowy Secrets arrange it so anyone but Assange is given the "honor" and let's face it, Zuckerman is just anothe face of The Man.

true, but if the nobel committee was starting investigations about me i'd think i might be getting an award for something, if the police were starting investigations i'd think i might be getting charged with something

i suppose i should have said charges were levelled, leading to an investigation

The Forces of Assange Fan Appeasement have allowed an article about Assange as runner-up in the Person of the Year issue in hopes of preventing fan backlash.

So we know have another force at play in this international drama who would seek to intimidate news outlets, financial corporations and even governments in order that they behave in a way that suits goals of this new force.

And I think that we also should be censoring the American news agencies which enabled him to do this and also supported him and applauding him for the efforts.

I can think of someone who should be censured, and it isn't our media.

.......In the neoconservative vision, a constant state of alarm must be fostered among the people to keep them focused on something greater than themselves, namely their great protector — the state. .... They say, 'See, we told you, the world is a dangerous place,' so goes their claim. 'We must prosecute or even assassinate those responsible for publishing the leaks. Then we must redouble our efforts to police the world by spying and meddling better with no more leaks,' so they say.

behave in a way that suits goals of this new force.

Do you mean WL or the Internet by new force Finn?

Were not news outlets, financial corporations and even, a long while ago, governments a new force when they appeared in the world? Can mankind handle its own intelligence? Are we biting off more than we can chew. Do the best-laid schemes o' mice an 'men gang always agley?

It was inherent in the internet from the beginning. Plenty of people said so.

The Forces of Assange Lionization

"Rather than worry about the disclosure of embarrassing secrets we should focus on our delusional foreign policy," argues Paul, who has run for the presidency as both the Libetarian nominee and a Republican primary candidate. "We are kidding ourselves when we believe spying, intrigue and outright military intervention can maintain our international status as a superpower while our domestic economy crumbles in an orgy of debt and monetary debasement."

I think the word 'charge' is causing the problem between you and high seas. The women can 'charge' Assange (meaning: blame/claim) without the police 'charging' him (meaning: formally arrest and prosecute him for the alleged crimes).

Good! How is this materially different than the way Corporations, governments and even News Outlets seek to intimidate everyone else to accomplish their goals?
