Wikileaks

Can't confirm that. When I call the link I can still press on one click sale, but then I get the error that only UK customer can use this service.

 

And now, they already found a "hacker" and arrested him for performing DDOS. AFAIK the wikileak website was also DDOS'ed from the US, and I'm sure the authorities are equally fast at arresting the responsible persons for that "crime" as well.

 

But I'm really impressed how fast the netherlands achieved this. After all, when it comes down to childpornography the authorities need all kind of sophisticated methods, and years of investigation bevore they can arrest somebody (if ever). Maybe the netherlands should teach lessons to other countries police investigators?

Yeah, now the Amazon-book is back online...

 

Interesting Article about Assange.

Interesting Article about Assange.

That is awesome. An exceedingly well-written biog and more which is both accessible to the layman and feels complete. Thank you.

[LEGION]

You´re welcome.

 

Yeah, it´s really an awesome article, very well written and much insights to the person it´s all about and else...

Yeah, it's back with a biiiig "[DOES NOT CONTAIN TEXT OF CABLES]" sticker. Well, they won't host WikiLeaks, but they sure don't mind making money off them. Bastards. Furtunately, there are other book e-tailers out there, so I can use them to do my purchases.

And no doubt they'll sell the DVD when the movie is made. Because his whole biog reads like a movie script. Now, who will play Assange?

Except in the UK, where a name on a list is all the "evidence" the courts need.

There already is an 1 hour movie produced by swedish television (it's in english): Wikirebels - The Documentary. It is done pretty well, but I guess you know most of the facts already anyway. I must admit that I saw some of the leaked video material for the first time now and I am flabbergasted. Collateral damage. Yay for democracy and human rights.

[stumpy]

pity they didn't leak whats actually going on at area 51.

I'd love to get involved with this conversation but I get too pissed off about unnecessary death. However, i will say a few things related to all this. Focusing on particular incidents involved with the wars in like focusing on that fact that the AIDS you've got is creating unsightly dry skin. We need to focus on the foundational causes of our problems. We need to shift to electoral processes which don't naturally filter out qualities such as humility and our leader need to know that we'd rather have our economy's slow down a little (or a lot) than make, or even risk wars which help put whole countries back into the stone ages, puting more people in the position to take a paid position in an anti-western militia. The U.N. needs to send a clear message to Muslims, in the same vein as the "just say NO to drugs" campaign, that you should never harm a single fucking hair on someones head in the name of your religion until you've seen and heard your God. A message that should be disseminated within any peaceful nation by their government. We need to be pro-actively peaceful and at the very least, foster communication. When someone like Bush says, I don't want to communicate with hostile nations, we need to say, wrong dumb shit, thats your fucking job, NOW GET TO IT! Its going to take 5 young, brainwashed Muslims and some lightly guarded, Russian uranium in transport to one of their many plants to take out New York.

 

I'll be watching TV, furiously from my couch, I hope it helps.
