Leviathan and fanatic

The manic hunting of the Barack Obama administration for the disclosure of GOSTIIN was finally crowned with success: Private Bradley Menning received thirty-five-fucker . The powerful state-Leviathan rolled up to the full young, naive, disinterested truth-seeker. No one died, there are no victims. Well, perhaps for some diplomats for a few minutes it became embarrassing before the country of stay for too brisk characteristics like the Alpha Sams. (Yes, and that Putin, in essence, can be proud .) And for this 35 (thirty -five!) Years of imprisonment. Atomic spies were not punished.

“Leviathan” according to Thomas Hobbes is the opposite of the views of John Locke, who saw in the state only a tool to ensure freedom of personality. The United States of America was created according to Locke's covenants. The founding fathers would be horrified by the current sentence.

But the founder of WikiLeaks Julian Assange does not push. In his opinion , the dragon sentence to manning is the “tactical victory” of his lawyers: after all, the prosecutors demanded to sentenced him to 135 years in prison. With approximate behavior and deducting time already detained, manning can spend less than 10 years in prison. The Assange is free to amuse the numbers in his Ecuadorian shelter, where he is hiding from accusations of sexual crimes!

History teaches that the disclosure of state secrets does not lead to any terrible consequences.

In March 1815, Louis XVIII hurriedly left Paris, fleeing from the Elba Napoleon. On the desk of the retreating king, there was a secret agreement of France with Austria and England, concluded behind the back of Russia. Napoleon, hoping to split the anti -French coalition of European powers, immediately sent a document with the courier to Emperor Alexander to Vienna. The king called for the Austrian Minister of Foreign Affairs Prince Metternich and silently handed him the paper. Metterns in surprise lost speech. Alexander threw the document into the fireplace, thereby completing the lilac stage. The contract never entered into force. The allies rallied again for the sake of victory over a common enemy.

In October 1917, the Bolsheviks with a decree of the world abolished all the secret agreements of the tsarist government and promised to publish them. “Secret diplomacy,” the decree reads, “the government cancels.” The publication of the documents was in charge of Trotsky’s assistant sailor Nikolai Markin, who has boiled the keys to the armored rooms of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Germany and Austria-Hungary rubbed their hands, anti-vague of the Entente's collapse. But the publication did not produce any special effect. Already in February 1918, they were stopped "for technical difficulties." Technical difficulties, including the fact that the Lenin -Trotsky government had their own secret diplomacy.

The only example in history when the publication of diplomatic correspondence provoked a war is the so -called Emic dispatch . In July 1870, the French ambassador Count Benedetti arrived in the waters in the waters in the waters in Emse, the king of Prussia Wilhelm I. He informed the elderly monarch that the emperor of France Napoleon III resolutely objects to the claims of Prince Leopold Hohenzollern against the Spanish throne vacant at that time. Wilhelm assured him that Leopold's candidacy would be withdrawn. However, Paris longed for the aggravation of the conflict. Benedetti went to Wilhelm with a new demand - to make a promise in writing. The ambassador found the emperor at the station. Wilhelm proposed to continue the conversation in Berlin. The dispatch with the presentation of his conversations with the French ambassador was sent to the Chancellor Bismarck, who also strove for confrontation and became furious from Wilhelm's concessions. He crossed out the middle of the outlet, leaving, in his own words, "only his head and tail." In this form, the dispatch was published in the newspapers and caused exactly the reaction that Bismarck was counting on: France declared war on Prussia.

However, in this case, there was a mutual desire for war, and the dispatch, moreover, falsified, became only its pretext.

A sociopath with a difficult childhood and his most sexual orientation, Bradley Manning is a bright representative of the generation of social networks. He never prayed, did not believe in God, and even in the school oath of loyalty to the American flag missed the words about God. Sitting in Iraq, he was passionately interested in problems far from him. He fled from reality and at the same time tried somehow to change this reality. He vividly discussed the problems of geopolitics in forums and chats, where he was caught by Assange. He had no idea, concept, how and where to change the world. This is also characteristic of the generation of Facebook: it doesn’t, as it were, does not agree on something all the time, because it did not think of its thought; Throwing one topic, grabbing the new one, then for the third ... In the end, Manning decided: I will lay out diplomatic dispatches, and there whatever happens, maybe a “discussion in society” will be tied.

Well, society admired these texts, giggled and forgot. Few other than experts dug in details - basically everyone was content with more or less conscientious retelling. Retelling to Russian was just "less." The official Russian press immediately began to overpower the contents of the dispatch, sometimes exactly the opposite. This applies primarily to the causes and circumstances of the war with Georgia - the subject is much more sensitive to the Kremlin than the nicknames of the first persons. The mission of the publisher of materials in Russian was assumed by the Russian Reporter magazine, which calls himself an official partner of WikiLeaks and is part of the expert media holding, whose controlling stake belongs to the aluminum Magnat Oleg Deripaska. One of the co -authors of the notes in the "Russian reporter" is Israel Shamir, who seems to be an agent of Wikileaks in Russia. This is a native of Novosibirsk, an international publicist with a dubious reputation. It is characteristic that it was such a person who was in the immediate environment of Assange.

I feel guilty before Bradley Manning, because I also used his materials, but I am free, and he is in prison.

Pursuing Manning, President Obama did not stop before the colossal reputation losses for himself. The whole trouble is that he is too eagerly and trustingly looking into his mouth to special services. And he has no opposition in this matter, because the Republicans are still greater statesmen than Obama. And there is no hope for pardoning either these president or the next. The security forces triumph. The generals defeated the subtile defenseless ordinary. And no one is ashamed.
