Wikileaks.org came up and brings the world into its charm. The site gave leaked information from American foreign affairs office. The information and the matter made us amazed of how much the contradiction between the content of it and the news given to us by the media. But then who is more responsible into this? The secret of diplomatic relations shown just could be true, but it also could be a fake. But is there a big game behind the truth?

Media has shown us how eager the government of USA wanted to catch the founding father of Wikileaks, Julian Assange. He reputed commit offensive act toward government. Because of his controversial site named Wikilieaks. The content of wikilieaks itself came from many sources, hacking the databases on the office, the insiders, and also people around the world that ‘know’ about the documentation of relation made by USA. The site made the creator of Wikileaks became the most wanted man of the USA government, then it turn up into the controversy, the people who Support the Wikileaks by the name of liberty, and the supporter of national security.

Apart from the validity, Wikileaks got their success in attracting sympathies and donations around the world. Since it firstly created, it only a few of people who know the site. Then, the visitor significantly increased by the Wikileaks boom, where the mass media and the press keep on reporting about the Wikileaks itself. Political chaos happen, not only in America, but also in other countries where there are many ‘leaks’ site provided on internet. Wikileaks itself just like a father of many ‘leaks’ on other countries. Even the creator and the editor is differents, still, it is the moment where Wikileaks on its prestigious era of information’s liberalization.

 But In addition, it is different tale if we talking about national security, or even in international harmony, Wikileaks can improve it but in a very destructive way. Most of the information provided made us amazed. For example, an Article that shown about the America’s Aggression upon Iraq. Wikilieaks showed the documentation that the Saudi Arabia itself that demanding the Aggression. There’s other information that really contradict to the news given on the mass. The shown Information still cannot be confirmed the validity, and US Government itself wont talk about the validity of the content provided in that site.

America is still a mysterious country. When there are acts taken by America, many issues lie behind. The aggression to Iraq, 9/11 phenomena, Osama bin laden, etc. still left some questions and mysteries. For example, there are many questions that how could a big tower crumbled down by just crashed by two planes, and then there are also many questions that asking about the reality of Osama bin laden, is it really that he is the leader of terrorist or there are conspiracy with the Taliban and America? Or is it only the fake character made by US Government? The government cannot answer it. There are many people who starting to distrust America and starts to questioning.

I can say that we are from era where information and news can be obtained freely and fast. But if I wrote something, and I made it looks scientific, then I publish it on internet, will anybody believe it? Of course, some of the people won’t. But there are still others who can believe it directly without doing some validity research or else. Well, this could be happened in the Wikileaks site. In this era, national security and political power in the world become the matter that could hide the truth behind what we’ve seen. In the name of national security and in order to spread influence, the government can filter the news spread to the people, the government can make fake information, government can hide information, and government can build and set up a big conspiracy game to other parties involved.

Am I too obsessed? Well, this could be a big scenario that could be happen, or this is just like a story in cinemas, but let us say that the scenario behind is really exist. Let’s see, the facts are after the Wikileaks booming on media, America government seems like just letting the information read by the people even if actually America can close and block the site as fast as possible, as we know that the Information Technology of America’s Government and Intelligence is very advanced. Is it deliberately that the government wanted the ‘Document of America’s Government’ read by the people? Or is it just a tool to make the other nations distrusting others and trigger war among them by giving fake information to made America the leader of the world? America’s intelligence is famous of its reliable in pursue the criminal, including cyber crimes. But it seems like a big scenario behind that Julian cannot be arrested easily and the creator run away to other nation and gets the patronage from them.

Well, we can say like that, but if Wikileaks really store the valid data, it is the worst. The nations around the world -I can say the east and anti-America like Muslim’s country- will look at America in negative way. We cannot deny that Wikileaks site impacts in international politic become significant, especially in terms of relationship between nations. It could make the world suspecting others, and lead the World War III in the worst scheme.

Anything provided on the internet can be uploaded by anyone, apart from its validity, true or false, sound or unsound, the data can influence the people think about something. Wikileaks itself came up and bring a big leap to others to start a new era, where we could stand in what we believe in or follow the leaked information to its destruction of nation’s reliance. Apart from the truth or not, wikileaks stored information that endangered the world, and it could lead the world from distrust to war.
