Wikileaks Releases A Massive "Insurance" File That No One Can Open
An anonymous reader writes "Anti-secrecy organization WikiLeaks just released a treasure trove of files, that at least for now, you can't read. The group, which has been assisting ex-NSA contractor Edward Snowden after he leaked top-secret documents to the media, posted links for about 400 gigabytes of files on their Facebook page Saturday, and asked their fans to download and mirror them elsewhere."
Dipshits like Assange thinks Rand Paul is going to save America. He actually thinks Drudge Report is useful. Basically he's a Republican, like most Libertarians.
And low-IQ high-school dropouts like Edward Snowden and their supports thinks Russia, with their explicit anti-gay human rights policies, is going to afford them human rights.
That's pretty much all you need to know about these kinds of people.
Really, these nerds are so clueless on society's power structure. Not only do they think they have some imaginary right to have their metadata kept secret, which is probably seen by dozens of organizations as it travels across the internet, but they think the NSA's metadata collection has affected them in any possible way. It's still amazing that people expect their completely open, unsecure IP metadata to be private, and that it somehow violates "human rights" if government tracks that.
lol.. "human rights" because government tracks your metadata. You do know that metadata is the LEAST private thing about your communications. It is the exact opposite of private communications. It is everything except your private communications.
Sorry that you nerds are powerless and have limited rights and it gives you a sad..but you dorks are just going to have to accept that you are losers, and that the rest of America completely disregards your views, as they should. Libertarians are way too narcissistic. You actually aren't important at all, and serve no useful role in society.
Real Americans want a bigger, stronger government, not a weaker one. A bigger, stronger government provides more services, since the purpose of government is to be a giant Costco for public services. Government isn't supposed to be an invisible belief system. We actually want government to do things, not preach.
My recommendation to you geeks is to just step back from the computer. Life isn't based around the internet. Believe me, the graphics outside are much better than the graphics on your computer. Your computer is not important.
That's not quite right.
WikiLeaks Secret Diplomatic Cables Released In Full
WikiLeaks said it decided to publish the entire collection after about half of the documents, also without redactions, were discovered to be available on a public server earlier in the week.
WikiLeaks has disavowed responsibility for that release, which consisted of about 100,000 secret cables, but said that as criticism of the group mounted, they were left with no alternative "rational action" but to release the entire collection....
For months WikiLeaks has found itself increasingly at odds with some of the media companies they had previously partnered with. Their ties with The New York Times strained after an unflattering profile of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange appeared in the paper.
But this week's discovery of the 100,000 unredacted cables -- in which the names of government sources and other sensitive details were not obscured -- seemed to offer the final word on any effort to continue filtering the files through the mainstream media.
Leak at WikiLeaks: A Dispatch Disaster in Six Acts
Some 250,000 diplomatic dispatches from the US State Department have accidentally been made completely public. The files include the names of informants who now must fear for their lives. It is the result of a series of blunders by WikiLeaks and its supporters.
