The timeline is so obvious it hurts. Sep 17: Julian Assange returns: "I'm back." His team warns: massive leaks next week. Sep 19: Internet explodes over Snowden's pardon.

They don't want you questioning the state. They want you terrified in a basement, watching missiles on TV, clutching canned soup. War is the ultimate cover-up.

You don't need to respond to every opinion. You don't need to correct every misunderstanding. Let people be wrong about you. Your peace is worth more than their approval.
