Welcome, Grasshoppers

Well, hello my little grasshoppers; welcome to the virtual home of Pudgilius, your source of wisdom and insight.

Today, Pudgilius is scanning the news. And what exciting times! In fact busy times for Pudgilius, as he faces the prospect of ploughing through the 250,000 leaked documents.

So, what do we make of Wikileaks, my grass munching chums? So far, according to the Guardian derived snippets and other innuendo, we learn, well, nothing really:  Gordon Brown is psychotic & paranoid (already testified to by his own staff), David Cameron is a gullible lightweight (amply highlighted on ConservativeHome, no less, well before the last election) and Prince Andrew, the philandering fat boy, is slithering in and out of places where he really should be keeping his tight little mouth shut. (Poor boy never learnt the basic lesson that it's better to keep your mouth shut and have everyone think you're a fool rather than open it and remove all doubt.)  Various other notables are described in appropriate terms (all of which have been well documented and aired before).

Now, folks, don't know about you but, this is hardly breathtaking news to Pudgilius.  In fact, if our dear old American friends held anything other than these views on all concerned, I'd be pretty worried.  As for Hillary ordering US diplomats to spy on UN diplomats, hell, I'd do the same damn thing.  Yes, folks, I'd want their DNA, fingerprints, iris scans, credit card details and hair follicle tests to boot. (Any truth in the rumour Hillary collected David Milliband's DNA personally?) For these are the same duplicitous, double-crossing, lying back stabbers whom our own duplicitous, double-crossing, lying back-stabbers have to deal with.  You really can't have enough dirt when you're swimming in slime.

But, can't see too much to put lives at risk here. However, my little infotruth-seeking warriors, don't rely upon "the press" (aka MSM) to reveal the real juice.  Pick up your own spade and start digging; there are some juicy worms to be found.

Amid all the howls of outrage from governments around the globe, what will be revealed other than the ugly truth that governments, officials and "dignitaries" lie, scheme and betray the people who elected them (those who aren't elected are excused the last part)?  Again, is this really news?  Well, no, but confirmation is a nice thing to have.

But, let me return to my earlier question; what do we make of Wikileaks?  Well, there's certainly some tobacco in the pipe but, is it what it seems?

Pudgilius is keeping an open mind.  Through all of the releases to date, what appears to be missing is as interesting as what is there.  For all of the "information" and "intelligence" implicating Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Al-Qaeda (worthy of a Wikileak all to itself), et al, in the most dastardly of deeds, where is the same "information" and "intelligence" on Mossad, the "art students", Adam Pealrman (screen name, Adam Gadahn) and so on.  Should we really believe that the US insiders fall for the arcane while not seeing the obvious?  Hard to credit, my little grasshoppers.

So there we have it.  Mountains of information, and misinformation, if we care to look.  How to tell which is which?  That, my little grasshoppers, is the real test.  What you can be sure of is that nothing of real substance will be revealed through the comics masquerading as MSM.

Tune in again for more from the world of Pudgilius.
