(13,260 posts)Nice try at rephrasing.
You implied some very questionable thing. I'll overlook it for now.
Since you asked, whether honestly or with a hidden agenda, I will reply.
I don't know nor care whether it was Glenn Greenwald or Edward Snowden or any part of Wikileaks or the Occupy movement that got the greater populace of the US to finally remember to question various factions of the government and the "media" that reports it. I'm just happy something(s) finally did.
I was fortunate and privileged (unearned, mostly) to grow up during a time in which "government" reports were not taken unquestioningly. "Question Everything"
I was also fortunate and privileged (earned, mostly) to work with other political activists who had been on various government agencies' "lists" of people to watch and so learned that there are factions in our government who would "destroy Democracy to save Democracy."
I have no opinion of Greenwald, Snowden, or Wikileaks. I don't care about Assange so much as I care about the information his organization made public. I wish Occupy would look beyond the numbers and look at the "love of money."
I expect you to understand 1/10th of what I just typed.
It is the world as it exists today.
