wikileaks

(Although I really shouldn't call them "Wikileaks supporters" because the people I am talking about are terrible excuses for human beings and very few groups deserve to have them lumped in with them) A bunch of 4chan twits are fabricating false rumors and spreading them around, that Mastercard...

Mhaze, I am not a big fan of wikileaks (I think that Assinge's Political Agenda is pretty obvious by now) but,frankly, when you have CNN,Fox News, The NYT, The Washinton Post, and everybody else quoting the leaked documents. whatever condifentaility they once had is long gone. By the time they...

CT's often ask the question "Who has the most to gain?" when looking at events in the world, so I thought that I'd do this with the Wikileaks saga and see where it leads, you might be surprised. Who has the most to gain from this event has to be Julian Assange. Think about it. Wikileaks has...

I think this is a relevant question. Government Intelligence Agency | Wikileaks Acquires "secret" information | Acquires "secret" information Disseminates some of this secret information | Disseminates some of this secret information Keeps some of the information secret to use as leverage |...

Julian Assange revealed in a Forbes interview that early next year, Wikileaks will drop a trove of documents that could take down "one or two banks." It's speculated that these documents are the 5GB of data from Bank of America, that's been copied from one of the executive's hard drives. What...

For Those Outraged By The Wikileaks "Revelations": Your Alternative To Diplomacy Several posters here are outraged over the fact that diplomats often say one thing officially and publicly, while saying quite the opposite privately, unofficially, in secret. And that in a free country nothing...

A view months ago Wikileaks published a file called "insurance.aes256" which is about 1.4 Gigs in size. Did anyone in here learned more about the content of that file - or did someone find out what kind of encrypted file it is since we don't know if they used aes at all. According to Mr...

The Ambitions of Julian Assange We have come full circle since 9/11 when the call went out for government agencies to share more information with each other so that someone would be able to "connect the proverbial dots." But when so many people have access to so much classified information...

How does one distinguish Hilary Clinton from Richard Nixon these days Also credit card numbers it appears. This suggests that a. the US has no problem accessing the servers where the personal information is stored of these identifiers b. the most likely motivation is to gain leverage (from...

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/18/20101129/twl-wikileaks-unleashes-a-flood-of-damag-2802f3e.html Wikileaks has caused upset and confusion yet again. What does everyone think? Freedom of speech, or traitors?

http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/wikileaks-expose-iran-used-ambulances-to-run-arms-into-lebanon-during-2006-war-1.327483 not good. very very not good. perhaps the Iranian Red Crescent should be expunged from the International Society of the Red Cross and Red Crescent.

Granted, most of the info I've hear about from Wikileaks isn't really news (the Saudis support Al Qaeda??? No way!) but it is amazing that hundreds of thousands of secret US cables are now being released. Strangely, there's still nothing about 9/11 being an inside job. No informants, no...

Oh my.... http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/nov/28/us-embassy-cable-leak-diplomacy-crisis It raises more than a few questions - most pertinently perhaps what are the entire embassy records doing being available for download? And what repercussions will this have for global diplomacy? Oh an...

http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/11/28/wikileaks.attack/index.html?hpt=T1 they are releasing countless secret documents and intellectual property of the United States. they are in possession of stolen goods, which is a crime. they are releasing classified documentation which they have no right to...

http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2010/11/01/russias_fsb_to_wikileaks_we_could_destroy_you Dunno what they mean by that. It would appear to be a suggestion of a threat beyond mere hacking - as any information can easily and quickly mirrored - and so there is the suggestion of a threat more...

http://www.salon.com/news/wikileaks/index.html?story=/opinion/greenwald/2010/08/20/wikileaks a New York Times reporter who has been the newspaper's liaison with Assange, dismissed Assange's claim that WikiLeaks had offered to let U.S. government officials go through leaked documents to ensure...

OK, I have thought about what happened with the document spill this week, and though I initially thought it might be a good thing to expose that collateral deaths were rather larger than reported to us, I have decided that a worse harm will likely result from this disclosure. In the...

Surely the recent leak of over 91,000 documents relating to the Afghan war damages the theory that the 9/11 attacks could be kept secret in the age of extended media?

Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange, was asked about conspiracy theories by Belfast Telegraph reporter Matthew Bell, who writes: "His obsession with secrecy, both in others and maintaining his own, lends him the air of a conspiracy theorist. Is he one? "I believe in facts about conspiracies," he...

Army intelligence analyst SPC Bradley Manning felt strongly enough about what he saw in Iraq that he passed secret video and documents to WikiLeaks who made the material public. He risked prosecution and he's lost that gamble. He's joined FBI agent Coleen Rowley who, after 9/11, blew the...

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia_pacific/10254072.stm I'm not sure on what to say here.

Having just finished an article in the "NewYorker" magazine about Assange and his website, I'm curious about how folks here feel about it. I'm in favor. Here's a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikileaks

http://collateralmurder.org/ According to Wikileaks, this is a LEAK: Cover-up of murder of civilians and journalists through US forces in Iraq. Video showing murder of Iraqi civilians and two Reuters journalists. Uncut version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=is9sxRfU-ik Short version...

These kooks actually think someone cares about their "wikileaks" website. I think these people can be dangerous and they should be arrested. News reports say that they are about to release a video and documents of nearly a 100 civilians being killed in an airstrike...

It's been known for a very long time just how many different branches, subsidiaries and out-right front groups the "church" of Scientology has, many of which fall outwith their "religious cloaking" i.e. are wholly secular and therefore not immune to attack (not that the "church" should be...
