Then we are told only the first bits of Wikileaks new revelations, we are witnessing the bursting of the "September 11 of diplomacy," or rather, "September 11 of the Internet, it is necessary to clarify one thing: no individual, no organization able to read 250,000 documents in no time.
So, what comes to us flow is "filtered" document. And those who apply this filter, for now, are those that form the old machine of traditional media. If this were a 11-September we'd be in the initial phase of trauma media, which gives the implant mind (*) (in English imprinting), the basic learning of the New World in which we move and new beliefs to which we must join. Once minds conditioned by this shock, any proofreading made later will go to cons-stream and this will leave poor. The
premier « implant mental » tient justement dans le concept de « traumatisme ». Le moyen est le message lui-même. Moyen et message sont : subir un traumatisme . Comme si avant la diffusion de secrets par Wikileaks, il n’existait aucun moyen d’interpréter la politique, la diplomatie, les secrets, les intrigues habituelles entre États. Comme si l’interprétation historique – elle aussi fondée sur des archives et des documents, mais sur des périodes plus longues [permettant la] réflexion, devait céder le pas à l’asservissement à l’événement émotionnel.
Le deuxième implant mind is the importance attributed to the themes dear to U.S. diplomacy. We have before us the dispatches of ambassadors, written in a style frank, brutal, but not provided free of lies, mistakes prospective prejudice, clumsy platitudes, or deductions. This gives us a fragmented view of the world, which, moreover, is hardly the only possible one. We continue example crystallize and exaggerate the fear of nonexistent Iranian nuclear bomb, and at the same time we continue to ignore Israel's atomic bombs, they, real. Wikileaks and traditional media, when combined, confirm the dominant themes in the end, while shoving the codes of diplomacy. That is exactly what a war, especially in its variant of psychological warfare.
The third implant is confusion on the Web , so strong that those who raise this chaos would come to a "new order" on the Web. Two years ago, we published a warning from lawyer who knows the best Web , Lawrence Lessig, who announced a "September 11 Internet was about to happen, "an event that would catalyze a fundamental transformation of the standards governing the Internet. Lessig also revealed that the U.S. government, like the Patriot Act that he had prepared well before Sept. 11, had in his drawers a "Patriot Act to the Internet" ready, waiting for any major event that can be used as an excuse to radically change the mode of operation of the Internet. "Just as George W. Bush, Obama is all for, in addition to the nuclear suitcase (**), develop Button able to extinguish Web . The current event could push many governments to entrust this new control to someone. That's what China did for a while elsewhere.
The fourth implant lies in the idea that the secrets are all stored , carefully stored in paper notebooks with the header units [states], and are therefore inevitably led to be revealed one day or another, with their train of registration numbers and signatures. [In reality], the real power is essentially hidden, its chains of command are impossible to fully back, it is quiet, operates in extra-institutional channels, hidden under layers of protection and parallel structures, benefits from leverage. He does not deprive of legal procedures and equipment, but without revealing the true purpose. Thinking that Wikileaks could lift the lid of the different levels of power is illusory, and is very naive, as well as to believe that we can fight the powerful only by boosting transparency liberal.

(*) Implant mental : We chose to translate the term imprinting used by the author in his article with this term rather than suggest what may have been a literal translation as " footprint 'or' impregnation." The concept of imprinting that the author wants to make is that of a " idea forced into awareness "which seems to be better captured by the term" mental implant "than those of fingerprints or impregnations further overburdened French.
( **) suitcase nuclear : This is truly a suitcase accompanying U.S. President in his travels, and he has only the code. A fairly well known story is that Bill Clinton has forgotten several times in PINs .
