Wikileaks To Sell Hugo Chavez' Email
I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "Wikileaks seems to be a bit hard-up for cash, so they're trying a little experiment. They plan to auction off an archive with three years worth of Hugo Chavez' email. The winner will get a period of embargoed access to break any stories they can find in the files, while Wikileaks will later publish the archive in full. Wikileaks plans to use the profits for their legal defense fund, but they may run into trouble because most reputable news outlets have policies against paying sources."
Well, in your case it's probably unlucky ;)

fear is unprecedented evile's primary weapon. that, along with deception & coercion, helps most of us remain (unwittingly?) dependent on its' greed/fear/ego based hired goons' agenda. Most of yOUR dwindling resources are being squandered on the 'war', & continuation of the billionerrors stock markup FraUD/pyramid scheme. nobody ever mentions the real long term costs of those debacles in both life & the notion of prosperity, not to mention the abuse of the consciences of those of us who still have one. see you on the other side of it. the lights are coming up all over now. conspiracy theorists are being vindicated. some might choose a tin umbrella to go with their hats. the fairytail is winding down now. let your conscience be yOUR guide. you can be more helpful than you might have imagined. there are still some choices. if they do not suit you, consider the likely results of continuing to follow the corepirate nazi hypenosys story LIEn, whereas anything of relevance is replaced almost instantly with pr ?firm? scriptdead mindphuking propaganda or 'celebrity' trivia 'foam'. meanwhile; don't forget to get a little more oxygen on yOUR brain, & look up in the sky from time to time, starting early in the day. there's lots going on up there.

is it time to get real yet? A LOT of energy is being squandered in attempts to keep US in the dark. in the end (give or take a few 1000 years), the creators will prevail (world without end, etc...), as it has always been. the process of gaining yOUR release from the current hostage situation may not be what you might think it is. butt of course, most of US don't know, or care what a precarious/fatal situation we're in. for example; the insidious attempts by the felonious corepirate nazi execrable to block the suns' light, interfering with a requirement (sunlight) for us to stay healthy/alive. it's likely not good for yOUR health/memories 'else they'd be bragging about it? we're intending for the whoreabully deceptive (they'll do ANYTHING for a bit more monIE/power) felons to give up/fail even further, in attempting to control the 'weather', as well as a # of other things/events.

dictator style micro management has never worked (for very long). it's an illness. tie that with life0cidal aggression & softwar gangster style bullying, & what do we have? a greed/fear/ego based recipe for disaster. meanwhile, you can help to stop the bleeding (loss of life & limb);
http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/12/28/vermont.banning.bush.ap/index.html
the bleeding must be stopped before any healing can begin. jailing a couple of corepirate nazi hired goons would send a clear message to the rest of the world from US. any truthful look at the 'scorecard' would reveal that we are a society in decline/deep doo-doo, despite all of the scriptdead pr ?firm? generated drum beating & flag waving propaganda that we are constantly bombarded with. is it time to get real
LOL if the successful bidder turns out to be Chavez.
Well, it would only buy him some time, as they are planning to eventually release publicly the entire archive. I suspect that they will get some pretty good bids for it, as the right wing media doesn't have much in the way of ethics. Besides, I'm not even sure if it is truly unethical as many whistle blowers count on publishing companies for advances on books and then the news companies report on it. As they often have close ties, at least for marketing, if not more direct corporate ties; This action just cuts out the middle man. The only question that I have is "how and why did they get it?", was the source paid, did he donate it thinking of the public good, or was it made up altogether.
So I'm thinking a bidding war won by Fox News. While seemingly intellectual, Chavez is a fairly scary leader, I'm sure that McCain is looking forward to using the worst of Machiavellian activities. I'm just wondering if they'll publish what I'm sure is his gloating over the manipulations of the oil market

Ethics are the pile of steaming horseshit that holds back so much progress.
Fuck ethics.
they may run into trouble because most reputable news outlets have policies against paying sources.
I'm sure if there is some emails between Obama and Chavez there, a reputable news outlet such as Fox News would be willing to pay...
oh wait!

Oh, wait - you were serious about that weren't you?
You know they have a whole new class of antipsychotic drugs out there now - I think you ought to try one and see if it works for you.

Like most of them? The list is long, but Fox, CNN and the AP come to mind...
They're not a reputable new organization, but they have the Daddy Warbucks RNC behind them.
Even if they didn't find anything damming, I'm sure they could invent something.

Because that idea has stopped working back when the government was composed of 50 individuals and its entire communications was still carried out on parchment.
The truth is that in modern times most government actions are utterly inscrutable without vast, time-consuming, labour-intensive cross-referencing and other analysis, far beyond the means of average citizenry. This is particularly applicable in the area of expenditures where obscurity, "privacy" and other smoke-screens are especially desirable to various crooks, and so a byzantine complexity of epic proportions was erected to ensure that the general public has no clue as to what is going on.
Add to this the fact that modern corporate "media" is malleable in the extreme by the political establishment members, to the point that confusion, uncertainty and doubt can be spread so effectively as whip entire nations into an unthinking blood frenzy over non-existent "weapons of mass destruction".
See above. They were able to brain-fuck a majority of supposedly "free" and "educated" populace. A few easily threatened and in other ways manipulated individuals are a laughable obstacle.
