Blaming "the Internet" (the collection of wires, devices, humans, and information) for the Wikileaks global catastrophe is clearly blaming one aspect of the global catastrophe for the entire global catastrophe. The leaks themselves, for example, are a crucial part of the global catastrophe - the existence of the information itself is also to blame for the Wikileaks global catastrophe. There is an endless supply of participants in the orchestration of the global catastrophe. The people who do the leaking, for example, are very integral to the operation - but it goes further than that. Why did that person originally leak the information? Was it a feud with a boss? Was it a moral judgment? Was it an accident? How was the leak leaked? By compact disc? Over e-mail? Are the couriers and Internet Service Providers to blame for this global catastrophe? Perhaps. 

It appears this Wikileaks global catastrophe is indeed a conspiracy. Many members of the conspiracy don't even know they're involved, including the vast, general public. If this Wikileaks global catastrophe had the leaker, the leaks, and storage media, and everything else, but nobody was interested in the information, it would all fall apart - no global catastrophe. Clearly, the Wikileaks global catastrophe is a catastrophe due to every person who catches wind of the secrets.

My wife and I have avoided all the information so that we are not part of the Wikileaks global catastrophe conspiracy. Because we have not taken part in the conspiracy, our day-to-day lives have remained exactly as they were before the Wikileaks global catastrophe reigned down its secrets upon the earth.

"Indeed," we asked, "why would it matter to anyone what the so-and-so diplomat said about the who's-and-what-have-you's President? That's their business. They need to sort that stuff out. They must all feel very good for having such great jobs."

Thus, the WikiLeaks global catastrophe is a very large and complicated conspiracy, though it is completely self-contained. For this reason, if a person outside of the Wikileaks global catastrophe conspiracy were to see something - anything described as a global catastrophe when his life had not been affected by it AT ALL, he would tend to think the people who implied that this was true by putting it in a question like, "Is the Internet to blame for the WikiLeaks global catastrophe?" were kind of bullpoop. Nice global catastrophe.
