On one hand we have Assange who is liberating a lot of private information to the public to behold. On the other hand we have Snowden who recommends cryptography to hide your personal data as best as you can.
NOT a paradox!
Both principles stress that the individual should be leveraged with more right than the might of the state has.
If all use encryption and keep their personal doings and goings secret then the state will have difficulty in coercing the individual.
If information is free then the world is more transparent and there would be less room for corrupt practices conspired against the individual by those in power.

Theatrical Assembly
I have personally heard from a secretary for a MP to the British Parliament that all the talks are preplanned, that all the agendas and acts are prearranged in the cabinets and back-rooms and every vote is rigged so that the results lodge into a preplanned range of votes.
A theatre of democracy indeed is played out to the public at large. This indeed comes from a country who often signifies itself as the staunchest defender of democracy in Europe as well as the world.
Alas the assembly of egotists and greedy entrepreneurs crafts and whispers every one of its messages into laws, by its powerful measure of coercion.
The play usually has three scenes and three sad endings.
Beginning: The hidden agenda is constructed, the conspiracy starts up.
Middle: The MP makes a speech, a debate is played out perfectly.
End: The invisible hands in the cabinets make money from the pockets of the people.
People are sent to war, determined to fight for democratic values.
The invisible hand stops money flowing from them to the peoples.

(Dream(Dream))
Hidden under the ocean lies a grain of golden sand.
There maybe a grain of truth to the similarity of irreality of a dream state of mind and the process of losing the existing and valuable handful of sand to the homogeneity of other particles of sand that is then covered and mixed in a method of shuffling by the waves.
The poem works on two levels - missing and grieving reality, and having nothing to base one's sense of reality on so what is there to miss and well - even that is going to go - 'to the deep'.
The ethereal and ephemeral dreamstate forms the cause of the worry as everything from it disappears and soon vanishes from the mind...
I am reminded yet again of the various levels of consciousnesses of which Gurdjieff spoke of. Leary also had a multilevel system of consciousness.
