DDoS Attack On Wikileaks Increasing

tetrahedrassface writes "According to the Twitter feed for Wikileaks, the attack on the controversial site is increasing and is now at 10 Gigabits per second. In light of the recent release of highly sensitive documents and calls by many lawmakers around the world to swiftly find, extradite, and try suspected rapist Julius Assange for breaches of national security, one nation, Ecuador, has offered asylum."

DDoS is dumb

This is the work of some self-described patriot, living in his mother's basement in Montana with a pile of guns and a disused American Flag pinned up to the wall, yelling "ye-HAW!"...

Sad to say, but this is actually progress. Remember the day when only well-educated people knew how to cause major electronic mischief? I suppose it's a sign that technology is becoming increasingly accessible when even the most repulsively stupid amongst us can manage it.

Wikileaks should get Nobel Prize for Peace.

Jail for what? Guess what: US law doesn't apply worldwide! Incredible, I know!

International treaties say otherwise.

And US law was violated by people in the United States, who were aided and abeted by Assage.

And Jews owned 90% of stores on Unter den Linden(Berlin's main street). Jews were 70% of lawyers and doctors. Owned disproportionate amount of property. Exploited German workers. So how exactly ridding Europe of Jews was not legitimate and beneficial?

It's absolutely a moral and justified act. It isn't a government's job to protect the people of the world, it's their job to protect their people. If killing foreign civilians leads to a lesser loss of life on their own side and/or a quicker ending to the war, political leaders would be foolish in the extreme to not order them killed. Frankly, I want a leader who's willing to be a completely amoral fuckwad towards any outside entities in defending my nation and way of life. I want Vlad Tepes externally and Abraham Lincoln internally.
