[ Quote ]: MasterCard is pulling the plug on payments to WikiLeaks, a move that will dry up another source of funds for the embattled document-sharing Web site, CNET has learned. "MasterCard is taking action to ensure that WikiLeaks can no longer accept MasterCard-branded products," a spokesman for MasterCard Worldwide said today. That further limits the revenue sources for WikiLeaks, which has seen its finances systematically attacked in the last few days, as the Swiss authorities shut down a bank account used by editor Julian Assange, and PayPal permanently restricted the account used by the group.

I am conflicted about the right balance between the visibility required for counter-democracy and the need for private speech among international actors. Here's what I'm not conflicted about: When authorities can't get what they want by working within the law, the right answer is not to work outside the law. The right answer is that they can't get what they want. The Unites States is — or should be — subject to the rule of law, which makes the extra-judicial pursuit of WikiLeaks especially nauseating. (Calls for Julian's assassination are even more nauseating.) It may be that what Julian has done is a crime. (I know him casually, but not well enough to vouch for his motivations, nor am I a lawyer.) In that case, the right answer is to bring the case to a trial. IIn the US, however, the government has a "heavy burden" for engaging in prior restraint of even secret documents, an established principle since New York Times Co. vs. The United States * , when the Times published the Pentagon Papers. If we want a different answer for WikiLeaks, we need a different legal framework first. [...] The key, though, is that democracies have a process for creating such restrictions, and as a citizen it sickens me to see the US trying to take shortcuts. The leaders of Myanmar and Belarus, or Thailand and Russia, can now rightly say to us "You went after WikiLeaks' domain name, their hosting provider, and even denied your citizens the ability to re ... | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Source: jeffreyhill.typepad.com --- Monday, December 06, 2010

 . WikiLeaks : Lula-Sarkozy, de l'amour et des armes Un télégramme diplomatique américain, révélé par WikiLeaks et cité par Le Monde dimanche, dévoile l'analyse de Washington sur les rapports entre Nicolas Sarkozy et le chef de l'Etat brésilien Lula. Une amitié qui, selon les Etats-Unis, cacherait des enjeux stratégiques en matière de défense. Principal enjeu, le Rafale, que le Brésil, d'après le câble, souhaiterait produire et exporter. " La France et le Brésil: Le début d'une histoire d'amour ". C'est le titre du pourtant très sérieux document diplomatique, mis au jour par le site WikiLeaks et repris par Le Monde dimanche. Un document qui analyse l'amitié affichée entre Nicolas Sarkozy et son homologue brésilien comme une relation militaire avant tout. Outre les perspectives de vente d'avions Rafale, la France devrait livrer au Brésil, selon le télégramme, le premier sous-marin à propulsion nucléaire du continent sud-américain. Les diplomates américains, qui citent des sources militaires à Brasilia, avancent même que le Brésil " veut non seulement acheter le Rafale, mais produire l'avion sur son territoire et éventuellement le vendre à travers l'Amérique latine à l'horizon 2030 ". Le document diplomatique évoque alors la possibilité que Dassault Aviation constructeur du Rafale, ait à demander des licences d'exportation aux Etats-Unis pour vendre l'avion à l'étranger.

MEDIA RELEASE — MEDIA RELEASE — MEDIA RELEASE — Support WikiLeaks rally called Supporters of the website WikiLeaks will mobilise on Friday (10/12/10) to protest against the backlash it has faced for its release of more than 250,000 US government cables. The protest will hear from independent journalist Antony Loewenstein, award-winning author of My Israel Question . Pirate Party spokesperson Simon Frew will also speak. Other speakers will be announced soon. The rally date coincides with International Human Rights Day. Rally organisers say the Australian government has failed to uphold the human rights of WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Julian Assange. "The Australian government should be ashamed for its attacks on WikiLeaks, which has been charged with no crime", spokesperson Simon Butler said. "Australia should not join the campaign to censor WikiLeaks. WikiLeaks has released evidence of government lies and duplicity — information that, as citizens, we have a right to know. "We want the Gillard government to make sure Julian Assange has the same basic rights as every other Australian citizen. Threats have been made against Assange's life, the Australian government has a duty to protect him, not threaten him." Butler said community support for WikiLeaks was very high. "We expect a good turnout to the rally. There is a great deal of anger at what's happening. The bid to silence WikiLeaks threatens the rights of everyone."

It's not as though many in Washington really gave or give a damn about privacy. As long as this one way street continues, everyone benefits from WikiLeaks information. How sad that oversight is regarded with such contempt by both the Bush and Obama administrations."Paranoia runs deep especially about US intelligence agencies," a secret cable from the American Embassy in Berlin said. "We were astonished to learn how quickly rumors about alleged U.S. economic espionage" had taken root among German politicians who opposed the bank-monitoring program, it said.The memo was among dozens of State Department cables that revealed the deep distrust of some traditional European allies toward what they considered American intrusion into their citizens' affairs without stringent oversight.The program, created in secrecy by the Bush administration after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, has allowed American counterterrorism officials to examine reams of banking transactions routed through a vast database run by a Brussels consortium known as Swift. When the program was disclosed in 2006 by The New York Times, just months after the newspaper reported the existence of the National Security Agency's warrantless wiretapping program, it set off protests in Europe and forced the United States to accept new restrictions. ... | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Source: www.wsws.org --- Monday, December 06, 2010

 Late Monday evening Swiss time, a distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attack by hackers took down the website of PostFinance, the Swiss bank that froze the assets of the Julian Assange Defense Fund, according to a post by Executive Producer Mary Slosson on USC's Anneberg School for Communications & Journalism. The downing of the website, www.postfinance.ch , was announced on the anonymous hackers' Twitter account about 1pm Pacific Time,which is 9pm in Switzerland. The tactics are similar to those use against WikiLeaks, as reported on the WikiLeaks' Twitter account November 30th. The pro-WikiLeaks hackers, operating under the name Anon_Operations, directed visitors from its Twitter Account to its website at www.anonops.net , headlined "Operation Payback." Slosson's post reported earlier this afternoon, Los Angeles time, that the AnonOps.net site itself had been the victim of a DDOS, but it's back up as of this writing (about 5:30pm Monday December 6). PostFinance froze the assets of the Julia Assange Defense Fund in the wake of WikiLeaks' release of U.S. Embassy cables, alleging inaccurate address information used when opening the account.

 Iraqi government officials see Saudi Arabia, not Iran, as the biggest threat to the integrity and cohesion of their fledgling democratic state, leaked US state department cables reveal. The Iraqi concerns, analysed in a dispatch sent from the US embassy in Baghdad by then ambassador Christopher Hill in September 2009, represent a fundamental divergence from the American and British view of Iran as arch-predator in Iraq. "Iraq views relations with Saudi Arabia as among its most challenging given Riyadh's money, deeply ingrained anti-Shia attitudes and [Saudi] suspicions that a Shia-led Iraq will inevitably further Iranian regional influence," Hill writes. "Iraqi contacts assess that the Saudi goal (and that of most other Sunni Arab states, to varying degrees) is to enhance Sunni influence, dilute Shia dominance and promote the formation of a weak and fractured Iraqi government." Hill's unexpected assessment flies in the face of the conventional wisdom that Iranian activities, overt and covert, are the biggest obstacle to Iraq's development. It feeds claims, prevalent after the 9/11 attacks, that religiously conservative, politically repressive Saudi Arabia, where most of the 9/11 terrorists came from, is the true enemy of the west. Hill's analysis has sharp contemporary relevance as rival Shia and Sunni political blocs, backed by Iran and the Saudis respectively, continue to squabble over the formation of a new government in Baghdad ... | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Source: www.dailymail.co.uk --- Monday, December 06, 2010

 Julian Assange, the founder of WikilLeaks , is planning to turn himself into police to face questioning over allegations of rape and other crimes in Sweden. The question is whether that will end the cyber leak war that has been happening for weeks. The case is a test of just how far internet freedoms can go at a time when many authorities are trying shut WikiLeaks down. If Assange is arrested and prosecuted, it will be interesting to see if this will end the cyber leak war. Newspapers have reported that Assange is expected to hand himself into police as early as Tuesday, after the Swedish authorities issued a European Arrest Warrant. Assange has been hiding in the southeast of England. The development follows another setback when Swiss authorities closed one of his bank accounts. The 39-year-old Australian has been operating WikiLeaks from secret locations. WikiLeaks stirred an enormous controversy as it released secret documents related to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan earlier this year and the release of secret U.S. diplomatic cables in recent days. WikiLeaks also published a list of hundreds of sensitive sites around the world that the U.S. fears could come under attack. Kristinn Hrafnsson, spokesman for WikiLeaks, told the Guardian that Assange had to keep a low profile after several threats on his life. And Sweden's Supreme Court upheld an order seeking to detain Assange for questioning related to charges of rape, sexual mo ... | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Source: pkonweb.com --- Monday, December 06, 2010

by Alan Hart Alan Hart is a former ITN and BBC Panorama foreign correspondent who covered wars and conflicts wherever they were taking place in the world and specialized in the Middle East.His Latest book Zionism: The Real Enemy of the Jews, is a three-volume epic in its American edition. Some commentators, bloggers and other writers, were quick to jump to the conclusion that the avalanche of documents being released by WikiLeaks is part and parcel of an Israeli/Mossad deception strategy. One implication being that WikiLeaks' founder, Julian Assange is, knowingly or not, manipulated by Zionism . On the basis of the first two or three days of the Wikileaked revelations as reported by the mainstream media , in America especially, there most definitely was a case for saying that the agenda best served by the leaked diplomatic cables was that of the Zionist state of Israel, its lobby in America and its many stooges in Congress. The essence of the case was in the message that Iran is the biggest single threat to the peace of the region and the world not only because the Israelis say so but also because Arab leaders agree with them. In my last post I quoted Zbigniew Brzezinski, President Carter's National Security Advisor, as saying he thought it was possible that WikiLeaks was being fed and manipulated by intelligence services.

Back Story: China blocked WikiLeaks.org in well, China after they leaked sensitive documents including those which linked China directly to hacks on Gmail among other things ( Read all China/Google hacking backstories ). What China blocked was only WikiLeaks main site, WikiLeaks.org, however, they seem to have forgotten that WikiLeaks.org has now moved to WikiLeaks.ch and now has 76 100s of WikiLeaks mirrors , making all those documents easily accessible to everyone in well, China among other places where Internet is accessible. Thanks to Hughesey from View DNS for the tip, this page does show that WikiLeaks.ch is still available and kicking in China. Oh and well it might not be so in maybe next few minutes or hours.

This originally appeared as a reply to a comment on Christopher Hitchen's column on Julian Assange. Politicians would end the war in Afghanistan immediately if there were no reason for us to stay. We risk the lives of servicemen, we spend billions of dollars on equipment, food, pay and other expenses, and the war itself is unpopular in many sections of society. All three are of themselves decisive reasons to end the war, and if it were just that deciding the matter, no politician would hesitate to pull back. But there is much more to it than that. We have strong and compelling reasons to stay in Afghanistan. Firstly, it is in our interests to pursue and hound terrorists and their supporters wherever they may live, and not give them a safe haven on the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Secondly, by stabilising the region through suppressing Taliban activity, we increase our own national security. Thirdly, our presence is spreading liberal democracy and fundamental freedoms to the people of Afghanistan – inherently good things. Fourthly, to leave now would be to waste the lives of those who have died in Afghanistan and the billions of pounds we have spent in aim of our objectives. The ignorance of many on the war in Afghanistan is stupendous. You would have thought that these people would have been more informed, considering that they have spent the last 10 years listening, seeing and reading about this war.

 http://news.ninemsn.com.au/national/8176027/be-ready-to-act-on-china-rudd-told-us The federal opposition has demanded Prime Minister Julia Gillard spell out the government's stance on China, following a leaked cable of a conversation between Kevin Rudd and US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The cable released by WikiLeaks has revealed that Mr Rudd, when prime minister, warned Ms Clinton to be prepared to use force against China "if everything goes wrong". Mr Rudd also told Ms Clinton during a meeting in Washington on March 24 last year that China was "paranoid" about Taiwan and Tibet and that his ambitious plan for an Asia-Pacific community was intended to blunt Chinese influence. "I don't believe that that's an appropriate piece of advice for Mr Rudd to give the United States," opposition foreign affairs spokeswoman Julie Bishop told ABC Radio. "I call on Julia Gillard to detail whether this remains the view of the Labor government." Mr Rudd and the prime minister have declined to comment on the cable. But Labor backbencher Doug Cameron defended Mr Rudd. "Diplomacy is a tough game and international relationships is an extremely complex situation for governments to deal with, especially when it comes to the rise of China," Senator Cameron told Sky News. China would understand there was concern around the world about its rise and capacities. "And that's natural," he said.

 Ed Silverman, author of the fabulous Pharmalot Blog , showed his investigative reporting bona fides by revealing today that there may be a direct link between pharma manufacturing facilities, US national security and the brouhaha over WikiLeaks . Ed uncovered a cable dated Feb. 18, 2009 from the US Secretary of State to all overseas diplomats that stated pharma facilities are vital to US national security and that "losing these facilities could critically impact the public health, economic security, and/or national and homeland security of the United States." The cable stressed that these facilities produce insulin, a variety of vaccines that protect against potentially devastating infectious agents and other medications and a vital part of the US National Infrastructure Protection Program. According to Ed's post, the facilities mentioned in the cable are located all over the world and included companies such as Baxter, GlaxoSmithKline, Novo Nordisk, Sanofi-Aventis, Genzyme, Novartis, IDT Biologika, Vetter Pharma, Roche, CSL Behring and Grifols. Interestingly, only two of the companies mentioned, Baxter and Genzyme, are US-owned companies. Go figure!!!!!!! Until next time...

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange may be one of the most controversial men in America but he helped "Saturday Night Live" score its best ratings this season, reports Deadline.com. This weekend's opening sketch featured cast member Bill Hader as Australian Assange, introducing his latest scandal-sleuthing project, "WikiLeaks: TMZ." "Hello, America, I'm Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, and I've taken over your airwaves," announces Assange as he interrupts a speech by President Obama (Fred Armisen). "This week, my organization released thousands of classified cables, revealing embarrassing details about the international diplomatic community. The leaks did not inspire revolution as I had hoped so tonight I present a new WikiLeaks, where the leaks are even more embarrassing and the details are even more sordid." That project is "WikiLeaks: TMZ." Assange is then seen in a newsroom a la "TMZ" host Harvey Levin with his team informing him of the latest scandals they've captured on camera. Among the gems: Muammar Gaddafi (Armisen) leaving a Libyan restaurant with his sexy Ukranian nurse (Kristen Wiig), who reveals that she's also a prostitute; Afghanistan president Hamid Karzai claiming he doesn't take bribes as his briefcase splits open and cash spills out; and Hillary Clinton (Vanessa Bayer) exiting a car in a skirt, which reveals that she's not wearing underwear.

In the week since WikiLeaks began releasing a trove of diplomatic cables, the site has been attacked by hackers and senators , been kicked off Amazon's cloud-hosting platform, lost its main U.S.-hosted domain name but still managed to stay afloat, hopping to new domains and spreading itself across a host of mirror sites . All the while, its founder is being sought by law-enforcement authorities stemming from charges in Sweden. Assange's lawyer, Mark Stephens, was negotiating with British police Monday to discuss the Swedish arrest warrant, The Associated Press reported. Over the weekend, the site began losing access to funding. On Friday, e-commerce service PayPal closed WikiLeaks' account . PayPal, like Amazon before it, said WikiLeaks violated its terms of service: PayPal has permanently restricted the account used by WikiLeaks due to a violation of the PayPal Acceptable Use Policy, which states that our payment service cannot be used for any activities that encourage, promote, facilitate or instruct others to engage in illegal activity. We've notified the account holder of this action.

 WikiLeaks - the online whistleblower organization that is stirring diplomatic chaos internationally - threatens to unveil a quarter-million secret documents, including 610 from Estonia , according the German magazine, Der Spiegel . Only a few documents have been revealed so far, none related to Estonia, but diplomats are already taking measures for damage control, as the US Ambassador to Estonia revealed an article titled "Estonia and the US: Rock-Solid Allies" in the opinion section of the country's largest daily newspaper Postimees today. Minister of Foreign Affairs Urmas Paet said he does not know the substance of the clandestine documents pertaining to Estonia that WikiLeaks plans to reveal. Paet said he was warned by the US Embassy ahead of time. "Last week, US Embassy representatives in Tallinn turned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and informed us that such a leak is coming," he told ETV. "Allegedly they did not know the extent of the documents that WikiLeaks acquired." Eerik-Niiles Kross - a former high-level security analyst who advised the Georgian government - believes the WikiLeaks revelations could endanger US relations with its allies.

By JPOST.COM: In yet another WikiLeaks release of leaked US State Department cables on Sunday, it was revealed that Hizbullah established a complete fiber optic communications network throughout Lebanon, independent of the country's communications system, which he said Iran fully financed. Lebanese Telecommunications Minister Marwan Hamadeh decried the establishment of the separate communications network, calling it "a strategic victory for Iran." Hamdeh said that setting up the fiber optics network was "the final step in creating a nation-state, and that "Hizbullah now has an army and weapons; a television station; an education system; hospitals; a financial system; and a telecommunications system." Discussing the options of the Lebanese government in countering the independent communications network, Hamadeh said that the Hariri government had two choices: to seek a UN Security Council resolution, or to cut the fiber optic lines. However, the telecommunications minister said he was told by a Hizbullah official that "any move against the FiOS [fiber optics system] would be taken as 'an Israeli attack' and dealt with accordingly."

 Tarring & feathering "Rapist" is one of those words that evokes a guttural, unwelcome, sudden, extreme and violent response, and for the past few months, pretty much that's what the media been calling WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, making him seem super icky and creepy. However this interview in the Guardian gives perspective on Assange and WikiLeaks. I can't believe I need to say this, but we need to look with tweezers at the Swedish law Assange is alleged to have violated. James D. Catlin, the Melbourne barrister who represented Assange in London, wrote Apparently having consensual sex in Sweden without a condom is punishable by a term of imprisonment of a minimum of two years for rape….Now, three months on and three prosecutors later, the Swedes seem to be clear on their basis to proceed. Consensual sex that started out with a condom ended up without one, ergo, the sex was not consensual. Consensual sex without a condom is rape? Well, in Sweden, if there's no condom, it is. I spent ten–celibate, in case you were wondering–days in Sweden this summer and wonder how many bands and attendees at the rock festivals knew this "condom or it's rape" law. I hope it's info that gets added to their tourism packets. I guess now all Swedish citizens are aware of this quirk as well. I'm all for using condoms until everyone is tested and trusted, but this is a Swedish law is intrusive, repressive and downgrades rape–forced sexual intercourse ... | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Source: www.someecards.com --- Monday, December 06, 2010

Saturday Night Live's spoof of WikiLeaks and Julian Assange, the group's founder, is funny. But it's also got some ideas of which Assange may want to take note.

Specifically, SNL has WikiLeaks mimmick the muckraking celebrity gossip website TMZ.

 WikiLeaks is at it again : as if they didn't do enough damage to America's reputation and influence already by publishing hundreds of secret diplomatic cables with sensitive information and assessments, they've now gone ahead and published a list of potential terrorist targets overseas that Washington considers vital to its interests. The list was the result of a February 2009 order from Washington for officials to compile a list of international assets critical for the United States… The list of "critical infrastructure and key resources located abroad" detailed hundreds of pipelines, important data cables, and businesses belonging to international industrial and pharmaceutical giants. If destroyed, these sites could damage US interests, the diplomatic communique said. Although some of these overseas sites were already known to terrorists, many others undoubtedly were not. Thanks to WikiLeaks, Osama bin Laden and his ilk now have more targets to choose from – and not just any targets, but ones the U.S. considers vital to global security. There is an upside to WikiLeaks' latest attack against the U.S., however; Julian Assange and his minions can no longer pretend they're publishing these cables because they believe in 'transparency' or whatever other excuse they use when they're criticized. Publishing this particular cable makes no sense whatsoever; there is no rational reason to put this cable on the Internet for everybody to read ... | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Source: whaleoil.gotcha.co.nz --- Monday, December 06, 2010

After being ousted by Amazon's Web Services, the controversial site WikiLeaks has run into another snafu, this time with its DNS provider, EveryDns.net. Via a statement, EveryDns stated that due to "interference issues" that are affecting the service of others, the company has ceased resolving WikiLeaks.org; the service was provided to WikiLeaks for free. In response to the DNS shutdown, WikiLeaks tweeted the following message: WikiLeaks: Free speech has a number: http://88.80.13.160 In a subsequent tweet, the company then announced that it had moved to Switzerland; the site's new domain name is now WikiLeaks.ch. A very vocal opponent of the WikiLeaks cable publishings has been the Independent Senator from Connecticut, Joe Lieberman. The Senator has introduced legislation, dubbed the SHIELD (Securing Human Intelligence and Enforcing Lawful Dissemination) Act, that would make it illegal to publish information "concerning the human intelligence activities of the United States or any foreign government" or information relating to "a classified source or informant."
