by | 9th, December 2010

WIKILEAKS supporters have attacked Mastercard, Visa, Paypal and a Swiss bank. So. Dutch police have arrested a 16-year-old. It’s all disarmingly pathetic. Julian Assange is in jail on an unusual rape charge. And the police are rounding up teenagers in Holland and London.

What’s going on? Youth is not docile and compliant – it is full of vim and guts. Listen to it.
