Wikileaks reports that it is currently mirrored on 1334 sites. Anon is currently up at http://twitter.com/anon_operationn (with 2 ‘n’s in at the end).According to various reports, PayPal is under attack, the site loads, but is very slow. Some people report that PayPal payments on Ebay are not working. http://operationn.tk/ (http://213.251.145.96/ is up too.
In its attack against Wikileaks and, beyond that, the free Internet, the Empire’s two next steps are predictable: a) Arrests of activists b) Pressure on search engines I don’t think that the Empire will attempt to shut down, or even openly pressure, the various corporate media outlets which have been, so far, releasing the documents (El Pais, The Guardian, the NYT, etc.), but they are not the biggest prize in
Wikileaks Central reports:The Bolivian government is now hosting WikiLeaks Cablegate documents on its official servers: http://wikileaks.vicepresidencia.gob.bo/, under the banner of the Vice President’s office and the office of the President of the Legislative Assembly. The statement reads: “The Vice President of the State of Bolivia and the President of the Plurinational Legislative Assembly, seeking to democratize access to information available to the public, are making available the documents of the
Call To Action by Shari Steele for the EFF Over the past few weeks, we here at EFF have watched as whistleblowing website WikiLeaks has fueled an emotionally charged debate about the secrecy of government information and the people’s right to know. We have welcomed this debate, and the fact that there have been myriad views is the embodiment of the freedom of expression upon which this country was founded.

“Operation Payback” has had its website shut down. It’s currently only active through Twitter: http://twitter.com/Anon_Operation. Twitter is also hosting Wikileaks: http://twitter.com/wikileaks. I am confident that Twitter will also cave in shortly. Facebook is also still up: http://www.facebook.com/wikileaks. Wikileaks recommends using reddit to spread information: http://en.reddit.com/domain/wikileaks.org.
“We feel that Wikileaks has become more than just about leaking of documents, it has become a war ground, the people vs. the government“ Coldblood, Anonymous PS: The Empire did strike back fast – the website anonops.net is now only displaying a blank, ‘suspended’, page.
Following up on my previous ‘random thoughts‘ about Wikileaks and Assange, I want to share with you some tentative conclusions to which I have come about the Wikileaks & Assange topic. First, and most importantly, I have come to the conclusion that these are real leaks, not some kind of disinformation, strategic psyop, or propaganda operation. As of this moment, 1095 documents have been released and, to paraphrase Hegel, this
by John Naughton for The GuardianWestern political elites obfuscate, lie and bluster – and when the veil of secrecy is lifted, they try to kill the messenger‘Never waste a good crisis” used to be the catchphrase of the Obama team in the runup to the presidential election. In that spirit, let us see what we can learn from official reactions to the WikiLeaks revelations.The most obvious lesson is that it

Josh Halliday for the GuardianWikiLeaks received a boost tonight when Switzerland rejected growing international calls to force the site off the internet.The whistleblowers site, which has been publishing leaked US embassy cables, was forced to switch domain names to WikiLeaks.ch yesterday after the US host of its main website, WikiLeaks.org, pulled the plug following mounting political pressure.The site’s new Swiss host, Switch, today said there was “no reason” why it
by Steve Ragan for the Tech Herald It’s been a long week for the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks. Problems started to mount after Amazon and EveryDNS forced them to shuffle their hosting. While this was happening, they also had to face political posturing and arrest warrants. The truth can be a dangerous and wonderful thing. [Update: PayPal has frozen WikiLeaks’ donation account. More informaion is here.] WikiLeaks had moved to Amazon
Agence France Press is reporting that, very predictably, PayPal has now caved to the pressure of Uncle Sam and has blocked any money transfers to Wikileaks while the Australian goverment is considering voiding Assange’s passport. The Australian authorities have declared that they will “provide every assistance to United States law enforcement authorities.” Yeah – the Echelon-countries are all doing uncle Sam’s bidding; not exactly a surprise. The more I think
Lieberman, GOP team up for anti-WikiLeaks bill Lawyer: Sweden investigating Assange for sex without a condom This rather surreal, is it not?
According to the BBC, Wikileaks has been forced to change domain after being dropped by EveryDNS.net following “massive cyber attacks”. The domain ‘Wikileaks.ch’ is, so far, still up. Stay tuned.
I just finished reading Wikipedia’s entry about Julian Assange and I was quite surprised by its length. For somebody which the corporate media describes as “mysterious” or a person “about which very little is known”, Assange’s entry in Wikipedia has a lot of information indeed. The second thing which surprised me that it turns out that Assange has for many years been a developer of free software with a clear
by Rachel Slajda for Business Insider Early this week, after hacker attacks on its site, Wikileaks moved its operation, including all those diplomatic cables, to the greener pastures of Amazon.com’s cloud servers. But today, it was down again and mid-afternoon we found out the reason: Amazon had axed Wikileaks from its servers. The announcement came from Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-CT), the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee. Lieberman said
Stuff is happening fast. First, Interpol has now issued a “red notice” to have Julian Assange arrested, and now Wikileaks is loosing its main website and mirrors. I still have no opinion about whether Wikileaks and Assange are for real or not, but if they are, the White House is being very very dumb about how it deals with this issue. If Assange and his friends thought this thing through,
