Love it or hate it, Wikileaks is incredibly seductive.  There is a simple addiction in forbidden fruit and Wikileaks fulfills that nearly universal craving.  Despite ever increasing legal troubles, Julian Assange has promised thousands of new leaks for 2011.  Based on hints, speculation, and dreams, the following are the ten leaks we most hope will be revealed.

10. Sarah Palin Intentionally Threw the Election – Controversy, poor knowledge of issues, and embarrassing gaffes surrounded Palin from day one.  Everything would make much more sense the election loss was intentional.  Palin drama simply never fails to entertain.

9. Scientology is Fact – Imagine Tom Cruise and John Travolta being vindicated.  Besides the implications on worldwide theology, proof of aliens with interstellar technology would practically rewrite our knowledge of science.

8. Bank of America is Actually the Parent Company for JP Morgan Stanley – The AT&T antitrust suit of the 1980’s would seem tame compared to the largest two banks in the country actually having the same management.  If Wikileaks truly has major information on U.S. bank corruption, this would be it.

7. The Red Ring of Death was Intentional – Microsoft is a constant target for rumors of malfeasance.  Proof that the red ring was an intentional feature to earn additional revenue would be a massive story of corporate corruption.

6. The Mafia Runs the Vatican – The Catholic Church is ever present in controversy.  Truthfully, no matter how awful the story, we can’t hear enough about it.  Proof of this continual rumor would shake the world.

5. ET: The Extraterrestrial was a Documentary – There is nothing sneakier than hiding something in plain sight.  According to this theory, with the full story in danger of becoming public knowledge, the U.S. government commissioned Spielburg to sensationalize the story and helped make it one of the best selling movies ever.

4. Full Un-redacted Files on JFK Assassination – Was there a second shooter, a magic bullet, or some other conspiracy?  The files remain top secret, encouraging the theories.  Even if the files prove nothing unusual happened, everyone has waited half a century for this leak.

3. Complete List of Wikileaks Donors and Leakers – There is nothing more transparent than leaking your own organization.  Assange has consistently stated that only the corrupt need fear transparency.  This would truly put proof to his claims.

2. Proof that Osama Bin Laden is Dead – The U.S. has hunted Osama for nine years without verifiable proof whether he lives or not.  Just about everyone would like to finally see proof he is dead.

1. Elvis is Alive – Ever since August 16, 1977, die hard Elvis fans have believed in conspiracy theories that the famous rocker is still alive.  Even at 75 years old, he would instantly become the most popular living rock and roll icon ever if he were still alive.
