“The U.S. government fears an informed American people, and an informed world public opinion, far more than it ever feared al Qaeda. What we’ve called ‘representative democracy,’ since the rise of universal suffrage in the West a century or so ago, has been an elaborate exercise in securing the outcome desired by ruling elites — preserving an intersecting alliance of corporate and state oligarchies — while maintaining the fiction of popular rule.  Manning committed the one unforgivable sin in a sham representative democracy: He let the ‘sovereign’ people in on what ‘their’ government is really doing, and whose interests it’s really serving.”
