The light cast by WikiLeaks shows us the face of the enemy. This light reveals the illegitimacy of empire. Professional politicians, bankers and journalists who perform as gatekeepers, protectors and mouthpieces for powerful corporations and governments are like shadows that cloak themselves and haunt the people with a Darwinian misconception of our essential humanity. They are not something to be feared or hated. Perhaps darkness and light are opposite sides of the same coin. The darkness of the world, corruption and abuse of power represented by these shadowy forces are within each person. Now many are coming to realize that they cannot run away from their own selves and that the darkness within must be confronted.
