State Dept Warning Students Not to Read, Share WikiLeaks Spokeswoman Says Commenting on WikiLeaks Not a Good Move for Any Citizen by Jason Ditz, December 03, 2010 Email This | Print This | Share This | Antiwar Forum

Columbia University’s Office of Career Service is said to have passed around an email warning students that if they read WikiLeaks or make comments related to the releases it would render them ineligible for any government jobs in the future, based on a warning sent by a former student working at the State Department.

State Department spokeswoman Nicole Thompson insisted the warning wasn’t an official Department directive but added that making public comments or posting links to WikiLeaks content wasn’t “a good move for any US citizen.”

Efforts across the US government to restrict access to the documents are having limited success, although Sen. Joe Lieberman (I – CT) did succeed in getting the WikiLeaks website removed for a few hours following a threatening phone call to Amazon.com.

Beyond the State Department, the US military is also said to be trying to curb access to the content among active duty personnel, with attempts to visit any media website from the military’s open network resulting in a warning message not to read anything related to the WikiLeaks release. The Social Security Administration has also sent an alert to all its employees warning them that reading anything related to the WikiLeaks release could subject them to “federal criminal statutes for unlawful access to or transmission of classified information.”

Even the Library of Congress is getting into the game, with attempts to visit the website at the Library resulting in a warning that the site is “malicious content” and has been blocked.

I have no recollection of anything similar to this occurring during my lifetime until recently.

It has always been thus, with very few exceptions.

It is near automatic, people at or near the top in any and ALL organizations will go with their own "kind" if it is at all possible.

When something is COMING UP FROM THE MASSES it is suspect, frowned upon and if possible contained.

I may have been misled or my history books tweaked but I have never been told what not to read.

Sins of omissions are equal to sins of commission.

As we spiral lower, we will be happy to comply with what we are told to read.

Inch by inch, step by step, control, control, the STATE is our only family.

I'm pretty certain I'll have a shortened life span ... I loathe the State and love my family.
