Wikileaks server now located in Moscow? [View all]

I didn't notice this at the time, but last October their website moved to a Russian-owned IP address. Curiouser and curioser.

Dated October 23, 2016:

https://nationonenews.com/2016/10/23/wikileaks-website-is-hosted-in-russia.html
A strange thing happened today. The DNS records for the Wikileaks site were updated.

DNS is the service that takes the name of a website such as “wikileaks.org” and translates it to an IP Address. When you connected to a website your computer automatically looks up the IP Address of the website using the name you provide.

Two addresses were added to the list of IP Addresses today. Both of those Addresses are located in Russia! This is not a JOKE! When you go to wikileaks.org, you are connecting to a server that is in The Netherlands, Norway, or Russia. Until today Wikileaks.org did not use a Russian IP Address.

It supports my suspicion that Wikileaks is now a Russian disinfo operation.

He has focused on the US and Western Europe because they are the MineralMan Mar 2017 #13

Again, I think that is how he would spin it. The Russian DNS entry and always coming down on the stevenleser Mar 2017 #14
