WikiLeaks: Texas Company Helped Pimp Little Boys To Stoned Afghan Cops Another international conflict, another horrific taxpayer-funded sex scandal for DynCorp, the private security contractor tasked with training the Afghan police. While the company is officially based in the DC area, most of its business is managed on a satellite campus at Alliance Airport north of Fort Worth. And if one of the diplomatic cables from the WikiLeaks archive is to be believed, boy howdy, are their doings in Afghanistan shady. The Afghanistan cable (dated June 24, 2009) discusses a meeting between Afghan Interior Minister Hanif Atmar and US assistant ambassador Joseph Mussomeli. Prime among Atmar's concerns was a party partially thrown by DynCorp for Afghan police recruits in Kunduz Province. Many of DynCorp's employees are ex-Green Berets and veterans of other elite units, and the company was commissioned by the US government to provide training for the Afghani police. According to most reports, over 95 percent of its $2 billion annual revenue comes from US taxpayers. And in Kunduz province, according to the leaked cable, that money was flowing to drug dealers and pimps. Pimps of children, to be more precise. (The exact type of drug was never specified.) Since this is Afghanistan, you probably already knew this wasn't a kegger. Instead, this DynCorp soiree was a bacha bazi ("boy-play") party , much like the ones uncovered earlier this year by Frontl ... | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Source: www.ynetnews.com --- Tuesday, December 07, 2010

 ( image ) Consider: Your mission is to " organize the world's information and make it universally accessible ." You thumbed your nose at Wall Street , and you proved them wrong. You've stood up to the entire media industry by purchasing YouTube and defending fair use in the face of extraordinary pressure. You've done the same with the political and economic giant that is China *. And you're hanging the entirety of your defense against European monopoly charges on the premise of free speech . So why not take a bold step, and stand with WikiLeaks? The world's largest Internet company taking a clear stand would be huge news, and it'd call the bloviating bluff of all the politicians acting out of fear of embarrassment, or worse. The WikiLeaks story may well be, as pointed out by many, the most important and defining story of the Internet age. It just might prove to be the smartest PR move Google ever made.

 Photographers attempt to capture a picture of Julian Assange, believed to be in this prison van, leaving Westminster Magistrates Court on December 7, 2010 in London, England. WikiLeaks wesite founder Julian Assange appeared in court, before a district judge, to fight an extradition after being accused by the Swedish authorities of one count of rape. Mr Assange was remanded in custody pending a hearing next week. by Nick Cheesman (December 08, Melbourne, Sri Lanka Guardian) The issuance of an Interpol wanted notice for the Australian founder of WikiLeaks within days after his website began releasing hundreds of thousands of classified United States government cables is blatantly political. Interpol's charter prohibits it from taking up cases that are predominantly political in character, but this has not prevented it from issuing the red notice against Julian Assange, on the basis of a highly dubious warrant supplied by Swedish police. Lawyers representing Assange have described the manner in which the red notice was issued as unusual, but in fact Interpol has long pursued persons wanted for political reasons, some of them at the behest of police forces with records of torture and extrajudicial killing. Among them, Interpol in 1999 went after Azekhan Kazhegeldin, when he was campaigning against the incumbent government of Kazakhstan. In 2001 the former prime minister was convicted in absentia for a variety of crimes.

 Iran, WikiLeaks and The Third Theory by C. L. Cook A s the Julian Assange/WikiLeaks saga grows daily, (he now held without bail in an English gaol,while America's attorney general Eric Holder dredges the depths of American jurisprudence in search of an excuse to lay hands on the whistleblower organization's founder) and luminary journalists like John Pilger call for full support of Assange, there are still questions about the nature and provenance of recently released diplomatic cables, the order in which they have been released, press parsing and administration cherry-picking of them, and an as yet murky understanding of just at whose expense are the leaks revealed, and for whom is it a benefit? About the charges, and his WikiLeaks aspirations, Assange released a letter through The Australian newspaper. Gordon Duff of Veterans Today argues WikiLeaks is an intelligence operation , run from Israel, or for its primary benefit. He bases this claim in part on the highly over-representative number of cables concerning Iran, and their universally unnuanced and negative tone. What's bad for Iran is good for Israel the reasoning seems to go from there.

A weak and unpopular presidency suits the military better. Why would the military create a situation in which Mian Nawaz Sharif — with greater popularity — would take the reins in his hands and start implementing the Kerry-Lugar Bill's conditions on the military? Despite all the noise and sensational headlines, WikiLeaks has not added much to what we already knew. The correspondence between Washington and US diplomats in Islamabad shows the wide set of US contacts with Pakistan's leading institutions and personalities. But there is nothing new, unique or revealing because the US ambassador and other top officials meet Pakistan's top civilian and military managers publicly. If these leaks really show anything, it is the incapability of the US influence in determining the political discourse in Pakistan and elsewhere. Furthermore, the leaks have also shown that Pakistan's ruling elite has a certain discipline in the foreign policy arena: it seems that the nature of Pakistan's relationship with China and many other countries has not been shared with the Americans. We all know that the US was so connected to General Pervez Musharraf that it could not see anything beyond him. Saudi Arabia also preferred him to Benazir Bhutto and Nawaz Sharif. However, despite their strong desire, the US could not stop the political process triggered through the movement for the restoration of an independent judiciary.

 by Mike Adams, NaturalNews Regardless of what you think about the WikiLeaks release of state secrets, there's no debating the astonishing fact that the internet made these leaks possible. Without the internet, no single organization such as WikiLeaks would have been able to so widely propagate secret government information and make it public. In the old model of information distribution — centralized mainstream media newspapers and news broadcasts — such information would have been tightly controlled thanks to government pressure. But the internet allows individual information publishers to bypass the censorship of government . In the case of WikiLeaks, it allowed an Australian citizen to embarrass the U.S. government while sitting at a laptop computer in the United Kingdom. Governments don't like to be embarrassed. They don't like their secrets aired on the internet . Sure, it's okay for governments to tap all of your secrets by monitoring your phone calls, emails and web browsing habits, but every government seeks to protect its own secrets at practically any cost. That's why the upshot of this WikiLeaks release may be that governments will now start to look for new ways to censor and control the internet in order to prevent such information leaks from happening in the future. What governments around the world are suddenly beginning to realize is that a free internet is ultimately incompatible with government secrets , and secret ... | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Source: www.pcmag.com --- Tuesday, December 07, 2010

Huffington Post - By Michael Brenner - Dec. 07 (Opinion) - There is a singular feature of how the United States sees itself that takes shape as we read the WikeLeaked cables. It is the extraordinary sense of entitlement. An entitlement endowed by 9/11. It hallows all those other characteristic American traits with a robe of righteousness. Our unique virtue, our superior wisdom, our mission to save the world, our right to judge and to proclaim, our authority to set new rules or to break old ones -- all is rendered true and just by the calamity that we have endured. America feels that it has found in 9/11 a diplomatic ace that wittingly or not matches the Israelis' use of the Holocaust. It is not at all clear, though, that it serves us well.

 A court in London refused bail to Julian Assange, WikiLeaks founder, and ordered that he remain in custody for a week, after being arrested on an extradition warrant. (photo, from aljazeera.net) But the 39-year-old Australian vowed to fight extradition to Sweden. On Tuesday, Assange who is wanted in Sweden on allegations of sex crimes, handed himself into authorities in the British capital. The bail was denied on the grounds that there was a risk Assange would fail to surrender. The Swedish authorities were represented by Gemma Lindfield, who told the court Assange should not be granted bail because of his "nomadic" lifestyle, his Australian citizenship and reports that he intended to seek asylum in Switzerland. "This is someone for whom, simply put, there is no condition, even the most stringent that would ensure he would surrender to the jurisdiction of this court," the Press Association quoted her as saying. WikiLeaks founder was ordered to appear at the court for an extradition hearing on December 14. Several well know personalities offered to stand as surety for Assange, among them were Jemima Khan, film director Ken Loach and veteran journalist John Pilger. In a statement, police said Assange was " accused by the Swedish authorities of one count of unlawful coercion, two counts of sexual molestation and one count of rape, all alleged to have been committed in August 2010″ .

From the latest batch of WikiLeaks , an indication of how much Jordanians dislike their Palestinian Arab brethren: Summary: Anti-Palestinian hooliganism and slogans denigrating the Palestinian origins of both the Queen and the Crown Prince led to the cancellation of a July 17 soccer game between the rival Faisali and Wahdat clubs, who traditionally represent the East Banker and Palestinian communities, respectively. Matches between the two teams have a long history of violence, but the specific digs at the royal family marked a new low. The clubs have been fined and their fans publicly chastised, yet official media reporting and commentary has been noticeably thin. The game exposed the growing rift between East Bankers and Palestinians in Jordan. The King's silence on the event is noteworthy, as is a reluctance among our contacts to discuss the issue. End Summary. Jordanian police intervened to stop fan violence and the chanting of anti-regime slogans during a July 17 [2009] match between Amman soccer clubs Faisali and Wahdat in the industrial town of Zarqa. The unrest began when Faisali fans started to chant slogans against Palestinian-origin Jordanians, including Queen Rania . Some Faisali fans threw bottles at Wahdat players and their fans. The coaches of both teams ordered their players off of the field in the middle of the game for their own safety, and the remainder of the match was canceled.

 I know this is a semi-sleazy blog…but just because I like big titties is no reason for me not to give my 2 cents on what's happening with WikiLeaks and it's founder, Julian Assange . Picture Courtesy of Wikipedia Commons Apparently Mr. Assange was arrested today in London and is currently waiting extradition to Sweden for what I'm thinking is some trumped-up sex charge….something to do with his condom breaking during consensual sex? WTF? The World's big governments have come down hard on the man who made public State Department Classified statements from Kings, Diplomats and a assorted group of people who feel the need to tell each other the truth but not the public? Because….the public can't handle the truth….and if they knew the truth…then the public may sway the way things are going on in the world! The Elite can't handle that. They need to be in charge of what's disseminated to the world so that they can keep us under control. Remember, Mr. Assange didn't steal the secrets…he just reported them! What if the Leaker had sent them to The New York Times? It would have made world news but would they try to have the Editors arrested? Maybe…but I doubt it! I'm not sure but is it illegal to post classified documents if you are not the one who leaked them and BTW not an American citizen? I'm sure the Dude who stole the info is in big doodoo but Mr. Assange is just the Reporter.

French web developer Benoit Chesneau, who created a map to represent incidents from WikiLeaks' previous leak of incident reports from the war in Afghanistan over time, is publicizing an Internet address to go to in order to download a copy of a CouchDB database of the leaked cables released so far using Tor , software that obfuscates the sources and origins of web traffic. CouchDB is a database system that makes it easy for someone running one database to copy data wholesale from another. So even after WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was arrested in Britain and some of the organization's funding conduits — PayPal, Visa and Mastercard — have reportedly stopped providing it service, the documents that spurred this blowback can spread with relative ease. Some people in government are actively seeking to cut WikiLeaks' infrastructure out from under the organization. Some companies that formerly provided service to WikiLeaks, such as Amazon, which provided web hosting, and Tableau, which allowed use of its free data visualization service, booted the organization from their servers only after calls from the office of U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman. Amazon denies that this is the reason the company stopped serving WikiLeaks . Infrastructure like what Chesneau has established would allow continued, disintermediated access to the raw data that WikiLeaks releases, even if major media outlets like The Guardian became unwilling to offer it, eithe ... | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Source: www.3news.co.nz --- Tuesday, December 07, 2010

Senator Joe Lieberman continues to expand his desire to piss all over the First Amendment and the very concept of a free press. He's already been pressuring companies to stop working with WikiLeaks and has already introduced an anti-WikiLeaks bill that appears to be pure censorship, but he's now extending his lack of understanding of the First Amendment to the press: stating that the NY Times should be investigated for criminal activity in publishing the WikiLeaks documents. Beyond the blatantly troubling statement that appears to go against the very principles of a free press (which we thought Lieberman was supposed to be upholding), it would appear that the bill Lieberman himself introduced shows that he already knows the NY Times did not, in fact, violate any laws in publishing that info. That's because the bill would seek to add liability for such actions, and we all know that you can't violate a law before it's actually been turned into a law. In the meantime, when did Joe Lieberman become the reincarnation of Joe McCarthy? It's amazingly depressing to see a US Senator so blatantly in favor of direct censorship of the press.

 Well, there you have it: Julian Assange has been arrested in the UK . You knew this was coming, but it still speaks to the nature of our wonderful little system we have here that a man who had become the public face of an organization that passed along information that probably should never have been kept away from the citizens that information purports to serve was branded as some sort of chaotic evil malcontent hell-bent on, what, exactly? Causing destruction by exposing the truth? A nice lesson for the children out there: if you tell the truth, you will get nailed. Assange was arrested in the UK overnight, and he now faces extradition to Sweden stemming from a alleged sex crimes incident. But if I were Assange, I'd be far more concerned with what the US has in store for him, with Attorney General Eric Holder having authorized a "number of things to be done" to combat WikiLeaks. How vague and scary! Not that that matters, given that WikiLeaks has already shown the world that it's really not all the difficult to hold public officials accountable for their actions. Oh, wait, I forgot: transparency in representative government is a bad thing. My mistake, I was under the impression that "representative" wasn't just a nice-sounding label used whenever convenient.

WikiLeaks will continue releasing the leaked US embassy cables in spite of the arrest this morning of its founder, Julian Assange, over allegations in Sweden of sexual offences.(Photograph: Martial Trezzini/EPA) The whistleblowers' website has made arrangements to continue publishing the classified documents, the airing of which has embarrassed the US government. The leaked cables have provided a daily flow of revelations about the superpower's involvement in the most sensitive issues around the world, including those affecting Iran, Afghanistan and China. The decision to press on will help allay fears among Assange's supporters that his arrest would hobble the organisation's work. Assange has also pre-recorded a video message, which WikiLeaks is due to release today. But the Guardian understands the organisation has no plans to release the insurance file of the remaining cables, which number more than 200,000. It has sent copies of the encrypted file to supporters around the world. These can be accessed only by using a 256-digit code.
