I've written a detailed explanation of how it all might have gone down here.
You can almost see CIA analysts lounging in the coffee room, mooning over the days of yore, and wondering aloud, as they once did when Nixon was in office, "I don't see why we have to sit around and watch this country go banana republic due to the irresponsibility of its people. Who wants to whistle dixie next?"
In a world that doesn't seem capable of giving a sh*t any more (see climate change), we have been blessed with some people willing to do the dirty work of keeping the plumbing of the people running. Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning, and Julian Assange, along with the many whistleblowers, VIPS, and voices of outrage and clarity that make up this volume, could be seen as a kind of superhero group in a future comedic movie: The Empire Turns Its Back. Assange as a Tom Sawyer figure -- radicalized -- the movie poster boasting: He didn't just want a piece of the Empire, he wanted the whole Inshaallahllah.
Coming soon to a 'reality-based' cinema near you.
