Considering that not only diplomacy and international relations, but the modern human (capitalist) civilization itself, is built on lies, small and large, it takes a Hero-madman, the first  Internet Hero (although we could also add the founders of Wikipedia), Julian Assange, to reveal global hypocricy (...in installments). Wikileaks has proven that the Internet is still not controlled by the state, the superpowers and the corporates, and that people power is a match for the military-industrial complex, the war mongers. Each one of us can and should become an Assange, against violence exploitation of all types. And already wikileaks mirrors and offshoots are popping up. The incident has also proven, as if proof was needed, of the limitations and dependencies of the corporate part of the Internet, as providers were quick to shut Wikileaks down under heavy pressure from the system, as did the monopoly (another scandal) which controls credit card and online payments. Because we do need another Internet, to bring about another world.  As George Monbiot rightly points out, we need to "reclaim the cyber-commons". And we do need Heroes, besides collective action and coordination, and we are not likely to find such in systemic circuses such as Cancun. Assange may be the very public face of the new, people's Internet (vs. the corporate Internet 2.0 - Big Brother 2.0) however he is not alone, but only a link in a long chain of liberty and solidarity, "merely one leader within a large and complicated social movement" as an excellent article by Alistair Davidson reveals.
