Wikileaks and Julian Assange

[Shanghai Alice]

I'm sorry, but I must break in with this quote from sowhyiswikileaksagoodthingagain.com...

WikiLeaks has revealed the National Socialist Movement's neo-nazi internal workings.

...I'm sorry, but I really had to laugh at that one. I know that "National Socialist"=/=HITLAH NAZEEZ!, but...

Come on. On paper, it sounds funny.


Also, why haven't I heard of anything else on this site? Only the "Bush lied!" stuff actually makes any headlines, apparently.

Ooh, ooh, and another edit...

US troops, and battlefield decisions =/= US government.
Hillary Clinton gave orders to spy on UN diplomats...?

I read that they let Julian Assange out on bail finally and that he's going to stay in a mansion in England where he will work on his site...I wonder if his site will survive the angry us government...

Well the worst they could do is block it (as far as I know) Even then, a skilled hacker or computersmith could work around that easily.

People should not fear their government. Government should fear their people.

When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.

But what does that change? The governments will continue thier typical routine, Assange hasn't changed how they operate.

I find this whole thing very amusing, at the least - I'll be honest and say that part of my support for Wikileaks is due to my distaste and disgust with the US government and those that play sycophant towards it (like ours).

To be honest.. I've never even heard of Wikileaks ._.

It's been operating since 2006 IIRC (main servers are in Sweden); it's not always government-related stuff they leak, they released a bunch of Scientology documents during the height of the Chanology raids/protests in early 2008.

It's only under attack by the US government now because they're the ones whose turn it is to be exposed and embarrassed - before that, they weren't heavily implicated in any prior documents, therefore they had little inclination to care about WL's operations (which says a lot about said government imo, but that's another topic).

The governments of the world say "nothing to fear, nothing to hide" - let's see it play out when it's applied to them.

ps. Assange is Australian.

I hope he gets all his WikiLeaks websites taken down for good, along with all the information he has

You're right, we should just continue to be cowed into complacency and ignorance by corrupt power-mongers!

Ugh.
