Wikileaks Thread

Sure, the bank will wire as soon as he provides banking details of another account, problem is I doubt he has one(outside Australia and Switzerland)

 

You'd think that the last people who would want to mess up with someone leaking confidential information would be a Swiss bank...

then again...

 

Wait a damn minute. This forum is "Elite Trader" Keep your plitical views & ideas to yourself or air them elsewhere.

I care only about the impact on the markets and my $$$$$$$$$$$, I am concerned to see if I can make a buck or two The rest of the stuff is for later. I don't want to hear the political rhetoric be it wrong or right, true or not true.

STICK TO THE PLAN!

Make money in the markets and share information which will help each other make or save some money.

wikileaks is funded by grassroots commoners...it needs money mainly for servers. however, due to governments shutting down their corporate server providers, they have resorted to having private servers in people's homes all over the world help host the mirrored sites. this will cut down their expenses a lot.

regarding the sex charges, it's basically a law in sweden that says you cannot have unprotected sex with someone (as in no condom) if you did not test for STDs. it's not an actual rape charge as one would normally apply the term. it's very convenient how most american media (if not all) have not bothered to elaborate on the nature of the accusation and instead use the word "rape."

the remaining files have been downloaded and backed up in tens if not hundreds of thousands of people's computers. in case anything happens to Assange or Wikileaks that's fatal to either, a master code will be released that will allow that information to be decoded to released accordingly.

with regards to peoples names and identities: wikileaks has always changed/omitted names when they felt it might endanger their lives. identities are protected and information is released in a responsible way. according to them, nobody has been hurt or killed as a result of the release of that information.

and yes other people have also suggested that Assange be considered for the Peace prize...

 

I suspect this law is not enforced at all
except if there are political motivations

 

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been arrested.

obviously. they got him on a small technicality so they can track him down and have him in custody until they figure out what to do with him next. meanwhile they can paint him as a "rapist".

I am all for uncovering corruption but this is not about corruption anymore. This is about disseminating information which was stolen with the sole purpose to make the US look bad to the world.

If we were in Rome, my thumb would be pointing down.
