Secrecy Hypocrisy

Someone allegedly revealed evidence the government has been less than honest with the people that government allegedly serves and represents. Once again, the person leaking the information is in more trouble than the people allegedly doing things they don't want to have leaked.

Scumbag state: were it not for double standards, they would have no standards at all. Chelsea (née Bradley) Manning, Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, and so many more are treated like criminals because they dared reveal the crimes committed by the political class and their enforcers to the general public. Meanwhile, the nanny state wants our every exchange, interaction, and move to be recorded, analyzed, and filed away for their records.

Whether this latest scandal comes to anything or not, the fact remains that representation is a myth, democracy is a false religion, and the government is just a gang writ large.
