I'm liking how the free market is solving the Wikileaks finance/donations situation.

So some smartass companies such as Amazon, Mastercard, Visa, Paypal etc. are feeling like it is their mission to carry out the empires bidding. I say, have at it. The backlash in the form of boycotts has already started, and other companies are seeing this as a big business opportunity. What better publicity at this particular moment, then coming out on the side of Wikileaks. This the way I like seeing the "invisible hand" at work.

While the big guys have their heads up their asses, small business owners are like "Duh, let's ride this wave baby."

2. We'll see how this plays out, but the push-back I see is the visible hands of people
pushing against the "market". The community that is forming around this organization is a model of how we can win.

4. And after this is all over,
The FBI and all the other criminal justice departments will spend resources and money going after these civil disobedient Hackers, instead of fighting political crime.
