A just released (by the Guardian), US Embassy cablegram details in a most explicit and essential way the horrifying nexus of corporatism, bureaucracy, complacency, media, and old guard thinking in Japanese government affairs. But please don't make the mistake that this is just about them. Similar dynamics are at play here and in many other places.

And this is ONLY ONE of the 5,000 or so of 250,000 yet to go Embassy Cables leaked by WikiLeaks!

And there are the Bank Cables still to come.

And the Anonymous HBGary emails show us what?

Folks, I'm boggled right now.

So over the Fleur-De-Kos, you'll find the cable. I've highlighted sentences in various ways to make them stand alone because there are so many profound insights here that this cable could be expanded in a thousand ways.

This one cable is like the Rosetta Stone of Modern Day Corruption.

Like I say I'm boggled.

The fuller impact of the surfacing of the US diplomatic cables by Wikileaks is unfolding. Don't be thrown off the real story by the personal storylines touted by the establishment media. The dynamics of this WikiLeaks project are very interesting and profound. The unraveling threads give little clue as to the timing but the direction is clear: The Emperor Has No Clothes.

Over the fold I'll excerpt and link to some of the recent discoveries and reactions.

I had heard before that Ronald Reagan had once been a Democrat. Whenever that was, it was before my time. And that means it was a pretty long time ago. How long ago? Think back to the dawn of the TV Age, when radio was still King of All Media. Well, Kossack ddn dropped in an open thread this cool youtube audio of Reagan endorsing President Truman and Hubert H Humphrey for Senator (at age 37). Play this for a wingnut and watch their head explode. But be careful, he was pretty good at telling it like it was, as a liberal. Your head might just come a little unglued, too. Follow me over the fabled fold for the audio and a transcript for the less fortunate.

The Automotive X-Prize, sponsored by Progressive Insurance, was awarded late last week. The company that won is based in Lynchburg, Virginia. This is Tom Perriello's Congressional District, CD-5. Virginia CD-5 covers the southern and central areas of Virginia. In fact, it is the largest Congressional District in Virginia, edging out the western most CD-9. He's in a tough race as he is a major target for the right wing who think that this PVI R+5 district belongs to them. There is more over the jump with a tremendous video of Oliver Kuttner, the head of the winning Edison2 team.

There has been an ongoing question on this blog and many others about the issue of bringing accountability to the criminals we call the Bush/Cheney gang. Obama has been coy about his full intention in this matter. Man, can he keep his cards close or what? The poker player knows his game. Of course, this has driven an already rabid bunch of progressive lambs to ever greater doubt. Will he or won't he?
Obama's choice of Holder is seen as leaning closer to "he will", based upon some of Holder's remarks. Our own dengre thinks so. Glenn Greenwald thinks Obama's pick to head the Office of Legal counsel is impressive. And any prosecutor can see the wisdom of "keeping their powder dry" until the right time. But as many know and fear, dry powder can get moist and misfire in the humid Washington atmosphere.
I have an intriguing little piece to add to the mix on this question. It actually came some weeks ago. And since we'll know more soon enough, I thought I should share it to establish my bragging rights now. So follow me over the fabled fold for an interesting tale of intuition.

This is going to be just a short heads up diary about a fascinating post that just went up at Open Left. Mike Lux, a regular poster over there, tells a humorous story about overheard conversations on the train from New York.

Let's jump over the flip for the quotes and link,

Yesterday the Senate passed the Lieberman Amendment (No. 2073) to the National Defense Authorization Act Fiscal Year 2008 (H.R. 1585) by a vote of 97-0 (Vote No. 242) according to THOMAS (Library of Congress). This happened just after defeating the Webb Amendment in the middle of the Iraq debate.

This diary explores the profound distinction of two areas of focus in what has been lumped together as "meta" here at DailyKos. There are great benefits in understanding the differences between these two fields of thought. A cooling of some of the flame wars, a gathering place and symbol for like minded deep meta ecologists, and a truth in labeling clarity for everyone, pragmatists and generalists alike.
So what the heck are you talking about, you ask? More below the fabled fold...
