WikiLeaks Will Unveil Major Bank Scandal

Atmanman writes "When WikiLeaks announced it was releasing 251,287 US diplomatic cables, we all thought we knew what was meant by its earlier ominous words that, 'The coming months will see a new world, where global history is redefined.' It now appears the organization is sitting on a treasure trove of information so big that it has stopped taking submissions. Among data to be released are tens of thousands of documents from a major US banking firm and material from pharmaceutical companies, finance firms and energy companies."

    Many Bothans died to bring us this information.

    Obviously that bastard could care less about all the bankers who will lose their livelihoods as a result of this information being made public. He's nothing but a traitor to the free market--and probably a communist, socialist, fascist, muslim, Nazi, child molesting rapist too!

    I hear he wasn't even born in the U.S.

    Thanks, I've traveled outside the US, which helps to get some perspective.

    Hell, just paying attention in high school civics class ought to be enough to come to the same conclusions -- unless you've got that new texan curriculum, then you probably do need to travel...

    Stimpy: Remeber the royal anthem of the kilted yaksmen!

    Our country reeks of trees
    Our yaks are really large
    And they smell like rotting beef
    carcasses...
    And we have to clean-up
    after them
    And our saddle sores are
    the best.
    We proudly wear women's
    clothing.
    And searing sand blows up
    our skirts.
    Ren & Stimpy: And buzzards,
    they soar overhead.
    And poisonous snakes will devour
    us whole.
    And our bones will bleach in
    the sun.
    Stimpy: That's it
    Ren & Stimpy: And we will
    probably go to ****.
    And that is our great reward
    For being the - uh - roy-yal
    Canadian kilted yaksmen
    Stimpy: Come on everybody
    Our country reeks of trees
    Our yaks are really large
    And they smell like rotting

    And our saddle sores are

    If you want examples of other countries that meddled with others' affairs on the same scale and with the same disregard for everyone else, it would be the Soviet Union and the British Empire.

    Don't forget the Romans. I mean, what have they ever done for us?
