WikiLeaks miscalculation

[Lightscribe]

Strategists don't think inside the box, lest their strategies be predicted or revealed, they think outside the box in a way that you cannot. The trumped up charges were predictable and transparent. The banks refusing to service wikileaks was predictable and transparent. The media seemingly turning on assange was predictable and transparent. You are in the box, you cannot see outside the box. You have connected the dots that someone has spoon fed you.

I believe you have it right...

Founding

The wikileaks.org domain name was registered on 4 October 2006.[5] The website was unveiled, and published its first document in December 2006.[32][33] The site claims to have been "founded by Chinese dissidents, journalists, mathematicians and start-up company technologists, from the US, Taiwan, Europe, Australia and South Africa".[4]

The creators of WikiLeaks have not been formally identified.[34] It has been represented in public since January 2007 by Julian Assange and others. Assange describes himself as a member of WikiLeaks' advisory board.[35] News reports in The Australian have called Assange the "founder of WikiLeaks".[36] According to Wired magazine, a volunteer said that Assange described himself in a private conversation as "the heart and soul of this organisation, its founder, philosopher, spokesperson, original coder, organiser, financier, and all the rest".[37] As of June 2009, the site had over 1,200 registered volunteers[4] and listed an advisory board comprising Assange, Phillip Adams, Wang Dan, C. J. Hinke, Ben Laurie, Tashi Namgyal Khamsitsang, Xiao Qiang, Chico Whitaker and Wang Youcai.[38] Despite appearing on the list Khamsitsang said that while he received an e-mail from WikiLeaks, he had never agreed to be an advisor.[39] Adams said he'd also never met Assange or been asked for any advice and suggested that other members of the board hadn't either.[38]
Purpose

WikiLeaks states that its "primary interest is in exposing oppressive regimes in Asia, the former Soviet bloc, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, but we also expect to be of assistance to people of all regions who wish to reveal unethical behaviour in their governments and corporations."

In my opinion Wikileaks is a US Government covert psyop with an end game to shut down the free Internet as we know it. The infrastructure to block free speech online is already in place and is the US Admin is looking for an excuse for it to be implemented.

Wikileaks is that excuse and the US Government, who condemns Wikileaks, created it in the first place.

It is called the Hegelian Dialectic – Problem, Reaction, Solution.

They create the problem, they react to the problem, and they solve the problem. People give up their rights to feel safe. The same tactic was used on 911 and the psyche of fear firmly entrenched. Wake up people. You are being lied to!

There’s another thing to consider: as of the launch of the logs site on Friday night (22nd), some of their servers are on Amazon’s hosting services. Some are even on US soil, but Amazon is a US-owned company so their Ireland datacenter servers are hardly difficult to shut down for the US either. Overnight that night WikiLeaks put their main site on the same batch of servers. I blogged about it here http://boxbinary.com/2010/10/why-are-some-wikileaks-warlogs-servers-in-the-us/ and cryptome.org concurred with my findings by referencing my post on their homepage.

To host the content on US properties is a bold move which has any number of explanations.

BTW, Google seems to be a CIA front also...

So you’ve got nothing.

WikiLeaks = 1
Hiding stuff under a rock governments = 0

WikiLeaks states that its "primary interest is in exposing oppressive regimes in Asia, the former Soviet bloc, Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, but we also expect to be of assistance to people of all regions who wish to reveal unethical behaviour in their governments and corporations."

and yet the focus is on the U.S. Yes undermine Western countries using their inherent openness against them ultimately forcing them to close up. That will really show oppressive regimes in the east. Logic Fail

tinfoil hats aside.....

Joe Lieberman wants to give the federal government the power to take over civilian networks’ security, if there’s an “imminent cyber threat.” It’s part of a draft bill, co-sponsored by Senators Lieberman and Susan Collins, that provides the Department of Homeland Security broad authority to ensure that “critical infrastructure” stays up and running in the face of a looming hack attack.

and

The Lieberman/Collins bill is hardly the the most extreme cybersecurity proposal that’s circulated on Capitol Hill in recent years. That dubious distinction belongs to a bill from Senators Jay Rockefeller and Olympia Snowe that empowered the feds to “order the disconnection of any Federal Government or United States critical infrastructure information systems or networks in the interest of national security.” That provision was neutered after a public outcry. Now, it calls on the U.S. government to “develop and rehearse detailed response and restoration plans” in the event of a major network threat.

Well done wikileaks. These types of bills are going to receive more support than ever before.

...and yet the focus is on the U.S.

The focus is on the U.S. because they leaked material to WikiLeaks. Are you suggesting WikiLeaks should ‘interpret’ the material and ‘decide’ whether they should release it or not? Wouldn’t this mess with their ‘unbiased’ mission statement? By the attempted ‘sanitising’ of material, ensuring that no-one is hurt, it could be argued that they are compromising their unbiased credentials. They are on thin ice already for humanitarian reasons.
