Wikileaks - this should ring alarm bells if you know your history

Very good satire of the whole Wikileaks affaire and the worrying level of extra-legal reactions by the powerful (I see Bank of America has now stopped suspected payments to Wikileaks, though how they are going to make that happen is not clear). The whole Mastercard/Paypal/Visa/BoA thing sends a worrying signal about how easily a lot of the world's financial systems can be "leaned on" by the US, but as the snippet points out, more worrying is the ease with which citizen rights built up over decades are being walked over.

As the sketch says at the end, this should ring alarm bells if you know your history.
