Capital Spoke. Now, It Declares.

The inestimable Jason Ditz, @ Antiwar.com:

"Already with enough egg on its face to endanger a species of birds, Amazon.com’s WikiLeaks headaches don’t appear to be going away. Having ousted the whistleblower’s website from their web hosting service under Sen. Joe Lieberman’s orders, Amazon has now taken to publishing the same cables it was insisting just a week ago were cause for termination.

Strange but true, Amazon’s UK website, Amazon.co.uk, began selling an eBook for its Kindle eReader that includes copious excerpts of the diplomatic cables along with the author’s analysis. The eBook is, according to the website, available only in the UK."

Capital says ~

Wikileaks: free, illegal, immoral.

Amazon.com: licensed, licit, justified.

You just can't make this shit up. Thank you, Wikileaks, for exposing the naked operation of capital and state, so many times, and with such simple clarity - whether you ever intended that outcome, or not.
