1. Well, that's extremely well-financed, isn't it.

Its location is know by many, I guarantee. Nice neon sign at the entrance, too. Yes, that's hidden very well, indeed. :rofl:

10. You asked how they were going to take out those servers.
There's nothing at your link that identifies who actually owns this facility. It's certainly not Assange. How do they take them out? The police comes and seizes them. That's how.

12. Did you even read it Good God, MM, what's your problem
From TPM: "Behold these photos of Bahnhof AG, Wikileaks web hosting service whose facilities are carved into the rock of the Sweden's White Mountains."

Bahnhof AG is the owner of the facility. It is a business that is hosting Wikileaks.

3. For pete's sake:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pionen

Follow the additional links. The location of this data center is public knowledge. What nonsense this is! Stupid hype. If that's where this all is, it's not protected or hidden at all. Everyone and his brother knows where the Pionen data center is located. It's an old government civil defense center, converted into a data center run by Bonhof http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahnhof

The police know where it is, because it was raided years ago and several servers seized.

I think this is a smokescreen, or the site got the whole thing wrong.

8. You said:

My guess is that you come in the front door with a warrant. Uff da!

9. Take out, as in "bomb" ... It's a friggin bunker.
Not, hidden, but well protected. And, yes, my use of the term "bomb" is tongue-in-cheek. Geebus.

11. Actually, not well protected at all. Law enforcement could simply
come in the front door. It's hype. It's a very cool facility, but it's not particularly secure from official action, now, is it.

5. Here's the website of the company that owns this place.
http://www.bahnhof.se/#index

They may be hosting wikileaks, but this has nothing to do with Assange.

15. Thanks! I wonder what it would be like to work there....
I really need my sunlight, but they have certainly done a lot with lighting, plants, water sculptures.
