takes you to an essay by julian assange, "state and terrorist conspiracies."
it tells you alot about how the political world operates in assange's view, the role and possibilities of tactical operations like wikileaks etc.
the idea is to disrupt the functioning of an "invisible government" which he talks about using the language of conspiracy (for better or worse) but which could just as easily be described using categories like oligarchy.
an excerpt:
Quote:
To radically shift regime behavior we must think clearly and boldly for if we have learned anything, it is that regimes do not want to be changed. We must think beyond those who have gone before us, and discover technological changes that embolden us with ways to act in which our forebears could not. Firstly we must understand what aspect of government or neocorporatist behavior we wish to change or remove. Secondly we must develop a way of thinking about this behavior that is strong enough carry us through the mire of politically distorted language, and into a position of clarity. Finally must use these insights to inspire within us and others a course of ennobling, and effective action.

but see for yourself.
this essay:

destroy-this-invisible-government%E2%80%9D/
is pretty good in drawing out the implications of assange's piece and connecting it to wikileaks as a tactic.
and this goes a long way to understanding what's happening with this.
here's another piece:

watch and learn, folks. watch and learn.
