With World Watching, Wikileaks Falls Into Disrepair
JDRucker writes "Supporters are concerned. Very concerned. Would-be whistle-blowers hoping to leak documents to Wikileaks face a potentially frustrating surprise. Wikileaks' submission process, which had been degraded for months, completely collapsed more than two weeks ago and remains offline, in a little-noted breakdown at the world's most prominent secret-spilling website."
Do you -need- a website though? What about an archive of the site and all those things hosted throughout the world via torrents and the like? Etc. If the Wikileaks owners really felt so strongly about their duty they should be doing things to make things work rather than just shutting down and complaining.
Taxation is legalized theft, no more, no less.
The citizens will revolt when:
1) Cheap food is unavailable AND
2) Cheap psychoactive drugs are unavailable AND
3) Cheap entertainment is unavailable
Not before. The elites who control the money of the world know this very well. Nobody is revolting in Peru or even Haiti. Nobody is going to revolt here either. WikiLeaks is a sideshow for the rubes, much like the conservative republican/liberal democrat smackdown that goes on daily.
Of course, even the wealthy have no answers either to oil depletion, the replay of act II of the depression, the gulf oil spill, fussy countries with nuclear weapons or a good solid carrington event.
Please do not read this sig. Thank you.
Freedom isn't free. And I don't have a problem with sites providing leaks until they add enough spin that you could launch yourself into orbit on it. If they simply posted raw info, and allowed people to decide that'd be great. The second they start adding "what we think" information they can die and suffer for their own stupidity.
Om, nomnomnom...
RPG's have a limited range. The rules of engagement weren't followed. Look it up.
