Graduate students at US universities are being warned not to read or post links to WikiLeaks documents, or they could be denied work with the US government.
Several news reports suggest the State Department has been warning university departments that students could fail security screening if they are seen to discuss or post links to WikiLeaks documents on social networking sites...
It's because of statements like this, "WikiLeaks cables portray Saudi Arabia as a cash machine for terrorists: Hillary Clinton memo highlights Gulf states' failure to block funding for groups like al-Qaida, Taliban and Lashkar-e-Taiba," that everyone already knew but that those who would own us would like us to forget about.
State is embarking on a policy that would endanger the employment of anyone working for the government who bothered to look at the front page of The New York Pravda.
Who knows? With a Hostage-in-Chief, maybe encouraging Stockholm Syndrome doublethink is now national policy.

The strategy is to make the Imperial Brain paranoid of itself, slowing down its processing speed and impairing its ability to think, and hence to act. I'd say that stories like this are a foreshadowing of such.

Quote: Assange is not trying to produce a journalistic scandal which will then provoke red-faced government reforms or something, precisely because no one is all that scandalized by such things any more. Instead, he is trying to strangle the links that make the conspiracy possible, to expose the necessary porousness of the American state’s conspiratorial network in hopes that the security state will then try to shrink its computational network in response, thereby making itself dumber and slower and smaller.
