Screw PayPal (and Lieberman!) - I just donated to WikiLeaks.

[Joanne98]

It's now clear that WikiLeaks and its leadership are under a coordinated attack from national governments and from the companies it depends on to stay online and receive donations. All because they dared to publish information the U.S. does not believe the world should have.

Before I go on - I do understand the argument made by many (including the entirety of our political and media elite, but also some well-meaning individuals) that some secrecy is appropriate, particularly concerning diplomatic matters. I agree that if we lived under an ideal democratic government that only kept secrets when it truly must, then it would seem irresponsible to release communications of this type. But that's not the government we live under - instead, our gov't very often fails to act in the public interest, and favors secrecy over transparency to an extreme degree.

In other words, I support WikiLeaks. Still, I might not have sent them any of my money, but when it became clear that certain entities wanted to remove my RIGHT to donate, that pushed me over the edge...

Frameshift's diary :: ::
First, amazon.com took wikileaks offline by removing the site from its hosting servers. Later, everydns.net killed the wikileaks.org domain name. That's why nothing happens when I navigate to wikileaks.org.

So WikiLeaks is gone forever, right? Hardly. Although I can't load WikiLeaks at the Swiss address it may try migrating to (wikileaks.ch), it's currently still online elsewhere, including the UK address wikileeks.org.uk (not actually a British website where you can upload recipes containing onion-like vegetables), which currently redirects me to 46.59.1.2. There are other mirrors out there too, and it may prove quite difficult for governments and corporate allies to keep it offline everywhere.

Of course, the other recent corporate blow against WikiLeaks was the decision by eBay-affiliated PayPal to suspend the account WikiLeaks was using to receive donations. This may deter many would-be donors from successfully donating to WikiLeaks, but importantly there are still several ways to contribute. The easiest method is to make a credit card donation via Datacell Switzerland. I just donated, and it was so cathartic that I had to come here and write a diary about it!

So - maybe you'd like to support WikiLeaks too? Just realize though, it makes Joe Lieberman VERY ANGRY when you do that.

1. The important part is that a small group

Is standing against all those groups trying to get together and stop him, and they can't.


Why are they all getting together to do that? And it does not fit their doctrine that they should do it that way.

:rofl:

Without attribution of what side is right or wrong, it seems like the entire Philistine army is attacking David, a clear foul, but then it turns out he has far more then just a few stones. Pretty good visual :D


On a side note, how much can you do if you want to change the world and are just in your cause? You can find a way to make a difference somewhere, even if it is being nice to one person, or contributing to some cause you think and feel is worthy of the time you spent to earn money.


And if they are right, why are they scared of people seeing what they have done? If they would have been able to correct it themselves, maybe such things would not be needed, but how much corrections have been made on the imbalances?

And how can they pass the Patriot Act then complain about such things?

For the Prisoners!!!!!!!!!
