Wikileaks reports that it is currently mirrored on 1334 sites. Anon is currently up at http://twitter.com/anon_operationn (with 2 ‘n’s in at the end).According to various reports, PayPal is under attack, the site loads, but is very slow. Some people report that PayPal payments on Ebay are not working. http://operationn.tk/ (http://213.251.145.96/ is up too.
In its attack against Wikileaks and, beyond that, the free Internet, the Empire’s two next steps are predictable: a) Arrests of activists b) Pressure on search engines I don’t think that the Empire will attempt to shut down, or even openly pressure, the various corporate media outlets which have been, so far, releasing the documents (El Pais, The Guardian, the NYT, etc.), but they are not the biggest prize in
Wikileaks Central reports:The Bolivian government is now hosting WikiLeaks Cablegate documents on its official servers: http://wikileaks.vicepresidencia.gob.bo/, under the banner of the Vice President’s office and the office of the President of the Legislative Assembly.

Call To Action by Shari Steele for the EFF Over the past few weeks, we here at EFF have watched as whistleblowing website WikiLeaks has fueled an emotionally charged debate about the secrecy of government information and the people’s right to know.

“Operation Payback” has had its website shut down. It’s currently only active through Twitter: http://twitter.com/Anon_Operation. Twitter is also hosting Wikileaks: http://twitter.com/wikileaks. I am confident that Twitter will also cave in shortly. Facebook is also still up: http://www.facebook.com/wikileaks. Wikileaks recommends using reddit to spread information: http://en.reddit.com/domain/wikileaks.org.
“We feel that Wikileaks has become more than just about leaking of documents, it has become a war ground, the people vs. the government“ Coldblood, Anonymous PS: The Empire did strike back fast – the website anonops.net is now only displaying a blank, ‘suspended’, page.
Following up on my previous ‘random thoughts‘ about Wikileaks and Assange, I want to share with you some tentative conclusions to which I have come about the Wikileaks & Assange topic. First, and most importantly, I have come to the conclusion that these are real leaks, not some kind of disinformation, strategic psyop, or propaganda operation. As of this moment, 1095 documents have been released and, to paraphrase Hegel, this
by John Naughton for The GuardianWestern political elites obfuscate, lie and bluster – and when the veil of secrecy is lifted, they try to kill the messenger‘Never waste a good crisis” used to be the catchphrase of the Obama team in the runup to the presidential election. In that spirit, let us see what we can learn from official reactions to the WikiLeaks revelations.The most obvious lesson is that it

Josh Halliday for the GuardianWikiLeaks received a boost tonight when Switzerland rejected growing international calls to force the site off the internet.The whistleblowers site, which has been publishing leaked US embassy cables, was forced to switch domain names to WikiLeaks.ch yesterday after the US host of its main website, WikiLeaks.org, pulled the plug following mounting political pressure.The site’s new Swiss host, Switch, today said there was “no reason” why it
by Steve Ragan for the Tech Herald It’s been a long week for the whistle-blowing website WikiLeaks. Problems started to mount after Amazon and EveryDNS forced them to shuffle their hosting. While this was happening, they also had to face political posturing and arrest warrants. The truth can be a dangerous and wonderful thing. [Update: PayPal has frozen WikiLeaks’ donation account. More informaion is here.] WikiLeaks had moved to Amazon
Agence France Press is reporting that, very predictably, PayPal has now caved to the pressure of Uncle Sam and has blocked any money transfers to Wikileaks while the Australian goverment is considering voiding Assange’s passport. The Australian authorities have declared that they will “provide every assistance to United States law enforcement authorities.” Yeah – the Echelon-countries are all doing uncle Sam’s bidding; not exactly a surprise.

Political scientist Dr. Lawrence Britt recently wrote an article about fascism (“Fascism Anyone?,” Free Inquiry, Spring 2003, page 20). Studying the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia), and Pinochet (Chile), Dr. Britt found they all had 14 elements in common. He calls these the identifying characteristics of fascism. The excerpt is in accordance with the magazine’s policy. The 14 characteristics are: Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
A Legal Analysis by Corynne McSherry for the Electronic Freedom Foundation Over the past few days, the U.S. Justice Department, the Department of Homeland Security and nine U.S. Attorneys’ Offices seized 82 domain names of websites they claim were engaged in the sale and distribution of counterfeit goods and illegal copyrighted works. Setting aside the due process concerns inherent in seizing any website without notice or appropriate recourse for the
Lieberman, GOP team up for anti-WikiLeaks bill Lawyer: Sweden investigating Assange for sex without a condom This rather surreal, is it not?
According to the BBC, Wikileaks has been forced to change domain after being dropped by EveryDNS.net following “massive cyber attacks”. The domain ‘Wikileaks.ch’ is, so far, still up. Stay tuned.
For most of its history, Hanukkah has been a rather minor holiday. But in the late 19th century it began to gain popularity and today it is one of the most celebrated Jewish holidays (neck-and-neck with Passover, according to one source). This change seems to be due in part to the increasing popularity of Christmas gift-giving in the late 19th century, and the corresponding wish to offer an alternative, especially
