Wikileaks related to The Matrix

While reading the Wikileak articles, the entire thing reminded me of The Matrix. The whole idea of the articles saying that the general public does not know what is really going on with the war in the middle east. Julian Assange is the one that is trying to let everyone know the truth about the war, just as in The Matrix, Neo and Morpheus are trying to eventually get all of the other humans to understand the truth about the world they live in. The biggest controversy with the release of wikileaks is about the public reacting badly to the information that they learn, and they will not know how to deal with it, at least, that is what the government argues. Julian Assange just thinks that people should be educated about what is going on in their world, and especially know what their government is doing. We are typically kept in the dark by our government, just as the people from The Matrix are blind to the real world.

One of the videos that Julian Assange posted was this. What is going on is that American soldiers are shooting civilians that were unarmed and posing no threat to them. Our government does not want a bad reputation so they are doing what they can to stop Julian from posting these leaked videos.

A good scene I found from The Matrix that relates to the wikileaks situation is this youtube post.
