Nothing new here, but we are the worst. Lieberman needs to be run over with a golf cart driven by a zombie JFK.

Zionists unit. US law is the only thing in the world more volumnious than jewish law.

Joe Lieberman: Enemy of the Internet

Who saw this coming? I still say wikileaks is meant to be used just like 9/11 to strip people of more freedoms, only I think wikileaks is set up by and run by the CIA.

So, you're saying that you think is just a conspiriacy to bring the USA further into a police state? I'm not sure I agree. I agree that they are trying to strip our freedoms, but I don't think Wikileaks is a front.

the Torah contains the 613 mitzvot (מצוות, "commandments"), which are divided into 365 restrictions and 248 positive commands.

"Censorship is suppression of speech or other communication which may be considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or inconvenient to the general body of people as determined by a government, media outlet, or other controlling body."

http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/war/jus...xt%2c-say-governments-201012033317/

I think that's a bullshit definition of censorship. The government (which in this case is the aggressor) should not be the one to decide what I can and cannot know.

really dude? how can you justify the CIA literally being the antithesis of a special interest US media corporation? it's a worldwide non-profit press network and they get results. you're saying the CIA would release all the military logs of the iraq war, and half a million embassy cables over the past 40 years, corporate backroom deals, bribes, etc? absolute perpetual freedom of information is not in their interest. i'd tell you to actually read the site and see for yourself but they look like they're under another DDOS attack.

thanks for that

and obviously, the CIA isn't organized enough to release the huge range and scope of their primary source material. just look at the site.

Their US based DNS server shut them down due to what they say was the DDOS traffic... was causing issues with their servers. I say the US government got to them.

http://213.251.145.96/ swiss server.

everydns.net killed them. private DNS manager. they will just be back online soon somewhere else.

So go back in time and change the meaning of the word censorship? and while you are at it, make a word that rhythms with orange.

nah the definition is right. the wording is a little misleading. "Censorship is the suppression of speech by anybody" is easier.

Lieberman is a douche. This is the same guy that made a big "stand" against zombie video games. He'll be among the first to have his brain eaten in the coming apocalypse.

also, of course wikileaks is and will be scapegoated by the government and misguided conservatives (who are somehow against free press as an American institution) just like 9/11, as an excuse to steal more civil liberties, absolutely. but to think of it as a front? pshaw, haberdashery and outright villainy.

it is now a common belief amongst conspiracy theorists that assange is really working for the PTB in the NWO. I don't really think he is, but then again, no one really knows for sure. Personally, I think what wikileaks is doing is a good thing, because it is exposing corruption and lies (only scratching the surface, though..)
I can't wait for the next leak- it will expose fraud by two major US banks. We all know the banks are a huge reason why this country is falling apart.. As they say, 'follow the money'

May Farfour the martyred Hamas mouse eat the Zionist dog Lieberman, I pray to Allah

hopefully those two banks are BOA and The Federal Reserve.

that is incorrect. You are defining it incorrectly.
"Censorship is the suppression of speech by a governing body"
that is more correct. You may censor me, but it takes a governing body's decision to make it censorship.

So what, you need a ship for that?

Quote from Interview with Assange



"Many weirdos email us about UFOs or how they discovered that they were the anti-christ whilst talking with their ex-wife at a garden party over a pot-plant. However, as yet they have not satisfied two of our publishing rules.
1) that the documents not be self-authored;
2) that they be original.
However, it is worth noting that in yet-to-be-published parts of the cablegate archive there are indeed references to UFOs."

Very good interview posted on The Guardian.

Paypal suspends Wikileaks account. I'm done with paypal.

doorhinge. know your drinking games, bucko.

I've been a bit ignorant to the headlines lately and actually just found out what this wikileaks shit is about... now i know why its a big deal... I've noticed on the mainstream media networks that they mainly focus on the Assange guy but not what specifically unfolded... So thanks RTTP for letting me know specifics....

btw.... this may be old, but I wonder what percentage of these corporate endorsers/supporters were blackmailed?

I am on the fence about Assange and WL... He may be a spook, he may be legit... Of course, the latter might mean that he and the site are be innocent dupes, an unwitting channel through which the military-intelligence axis releases select information or creates and controls a limited channel of dissent. He need not be a direct agent of the CIA or Pentagon in order for his work to serve their purpose.

Though much of the activity probably moved outside of the original channels by the end of the 1970's, it's well known that the FBI, CIA, and military intelligence agencies were involved with direct suppression of political dissent, during the Cold War, and since; the use of sheep-dipped spies and provocateurs for the monitoring and entrapment of various leftist, civil rights, and populist groups (ala COINTELPRO) from the Red Scares of the early 20th century through today's ongoing repression of anti-war, anti-globalization, pro-ecology, etc. groups by the same agencies and methods, and the manufactured terrorist threats that have sustained the anti-civil liberties, anti-Muslim, pro-war climate in the country since 9/11.

Less documented, but equally troublesome, phony leftist academics, opinionators, aid-workers, activists, etc. have at times been supported (by the CIA especially) in efforts to steer and corral a portion of the left away from radical ideologies and into a more mainstream, "liberal"/"progressive" mindset that of course was strictly anti-Communist, and supportive of the American economic empire (even if ostensibly anti-war/militarism). In addition to helping to shape general opinion to match its goals, the military-intelligence axis has always sought to have direct influence within the full "legitimate" (i.e. non-radical/manageable/pro-global-capitalist) political spectrum, and this required contacts and agents within academia, the mainstream press, the (allegedly) independent press, NGOs/foundations, citizen's groups, unions, political parties, etc. in order to maintain influence over the liberal portion of the spectrum (the conservative portion being more naturally allied with the M-I axis, it did not require so much covert attention as overt alliances and propaganda). In addition to shaping and controlling the form of popular dissent against the status quo, these sponsored opinionators have also been useful for more basic spooky purposes, like the aforementioned monitoring and data collection against leftist groups and individuals, and the dissemination of disinformation.

Unfortunately, the available information on the CIA's Operation Mockingbird is a bit slim, but makes it pretty clear that the Agency was heavily invested in making sure a wide-range of publications and media outlets were working towards what it believed to be "American interests" through the 1950's and 60's. It would be silly to believe that it stopped there, regardless of what other names the program may have operated under since.

As far as Assange, I see two significant points against his credibility:
- Anti-9/11 truth comments (though this could certainly a matter of his ignorance/not having taking the trouble to examine the forensic and eyewitness evidence).
- Massive amount of mass media exposure in the US (on TV, no less!)... Most major whistle-blowers are lucky to get attention in the New York Times (Sibel Edmonds is still waiting!), much less on the heinously dumbed down infotainment-casts that pass for TV news.

This is hardly a rock solid case against Wikileaks or Assange himself, of course, but it's quite clear that the corporate mass media in the US, so inextricably linked with the aforementioned M-I axis, is using the Wikileaks "scandal" for its own propagandic/disinformational purposes, or he wouldn't be getting so much friggin air time! Likewise, I remain skeptical about Daniel Ellsberg, who may himself have been well-meaning, but whose release of the Pentagon Papers helped to whitewash the CIA's involvement in Vietnam and the international drug trade. In both cases, the selective emphasis and editing provided by the MSM is enough to create the illusion of anti-war activity without spilling anything too vital or detrimental. (Admittedly, I have not yet myself dug through the Wikileaks documents, so it's possible the juiciest bits have indeed seen the light, but I'm sure most American media consumers don't even ponder this point).

In short, regardless of actual motives, and regardless of what Wikileaks makes available to curious readers, the Wikileaks controversy must be viewed as a textbook example of a limited hangout, and taken with a grain of salt.

Oh yeah, and fuck Joe Lieberman and the stupid Connecticut yarmulke he road in on!

*rode

The Wikileaks owner Assange was just arrested in London on Sex assault charges. lulz.....

He said it is part of an "elaborate conspiracy." Bullshit, he got his dinky stinky with the wrong whore and now is busted for it.

If you actually read the information, you'd see that it was a fairly obscure charge and that it was consensual. He wasn't arrested either, he turned himself in to face the charges.

I was just going by what the news said this morning because I am just a drone.

i'm skeptical the CIA's influence reaches that far. even with plants ranging from academia to independent press and NGOs...they might have a huge sprawling network of informants but how efficient is it and how effective would they even be on an individual level? even if the CIA has plants within wikileaks, the network itself is self-correcting by nature, and they will ultimately not give much result.

assange is the public face of the network, he is not wikileaks. he's getting so much airtime on MSM because they are trying to discredit his organization, and really their reaction is so predictable, his face sells better than the scoops they release.

the CIA is not this effective, and i'm sure they're jealous of how much wikileaks has accomplished, their resume isn't so flawless. ripped from the about section on WL, there are so many scoops outside the realm of even the CIA's interest that any connection is so far-fetched -

We are falling over the ends of the earth
So gather your sons and daughters before you
And tell them that these are the final days of all
Preach to the paupers
And sing to the slaves

I see you've chosen to loose your faith
To burn your bridges and lose your way
From mountain top to valley deep
From shore to cursed shore
What Nation, what State what Land is this?
The wretched Tribe of Nero...

Sing Sing Sing to the Slaves
Sing to the Slaves that Rome Burns

Are our bones not dust?
Is our Blood not Poison?
On my knees in the black light
Praying for Salvation, bitter Redemption
So throw your dice and cast your shadow
You may look away
But your children will not...

Mostly I agree, though I wouldn't say the connection is far-fetched. I'm not sure whether Collateral Murder really "went viral" of its own accord or whether that was introduced into the MSM dialogue with the conscious approval of the ruling elite, but there is obviously a genuine element in Wikileaks, and it's extraordinarily unlikely that Assange is working for any intelligence agency.

That said, whether before the hype of Collateral Murder or after, I think it's safe to assume that US intelligence agencies have, since realizing the potential threat of the site, worked not only to discredit WL in the media/congress/courts, but to infiltrate and influence WL. At the very least, I am sure they have tried to be in a position to actively monitor the group to anticipate upcoming document dumps and be sure that the mass media has the official Pentagon spin even BEFORE WL can release a new batch of documents. It's impossible to determine the level of their success in this, but from the uniformity of coverage in major US outlets, I would say that the "threat" has been largely contained, as far as the domestic US populace is concerned.

At the very least, it must be understood that the US establishment, defined to include the upper echelons of the political system, the military, the intelligence agencies, the business class, State department, etc. is constantly engaged in active political counterintelligence, both abroad and domestically. Even if a threat like Wikileaks cannot be entirely neutralized, the sort of defamation campaign that is going on with Assange is almost always matched by a "capture" campaign, to try to bring the group into the veal pen of "the Washington consensus", while sustaining the illusion of dissent.

Here's a little something quite suggestive about JA's rape-accuser, which certainly suggests that WL (or at least the more visible and horny Assange) is not above infiltration: http://www.counterpunch.org/shamir09142010.html While there's certainly no direct paper trail from the CIA to Anna Ardin, it's certainly revealing to read of her involvement in la causa, the CIA's bete noir for close to 52 years now...

There's no doubt she has ties with the CIA..

Even more real is her prosecution's total lack of evidence.

This is what i'm fucking talking about.

Also on reddit. This is really an excellent, non violent way to get the message out to the drones. I'm sure some high profile guys are going to do their best to get this on the mass media once better organized.

Assange released on bail, under house arrest.

http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE6BD37720101214

he's at risk now. We've got some fuckwit trying to kill him, for certain.

By "fuckwit", do you mean CIA / FBI / governmental goon? He should hire expensive protection. And have a railgun by his side. And if he gets offed, set it up to really put the fuckin' on.

This dude rules.

Not anymore, looks like the article has been updated. "Assange back in jail as Sweden appeals bail"

I like Moore sometimes, and very much like what he has to say about supporting Wikileaks, but there's some serious retardation here:



While it certainly is interesting to speculate about what effects a Coleen Rowley or John O'Neill might have had through a leak to the media, the best case scenario I can imagine is that they would expose a handful of the potential patsies. But if Moussaoui was an alleged "20th hijacker", it's hard not to imagine that there were other patsies already in the US and ready to step in if needed. Just as the co-conspirators could not legitimately expect the patsies to have the skills to fly into the selected targets (and thus resorted to ROV/UAV technology), so would it have been foolish to gamble such a crucial operation on the presence of 19 alleged jihadists, any of whom could have been arrested or deported before the operation commenced.

But then, Michael Moore doesn't have the fortitude to challenge the Standard Democrat's 9/11 Myth that the executive branch merely was incompetent in the face of a terrorist threat. Unfortunately, Mike is an enabler. Great for him to buck Official Democrat Policy on the WL front, but at the end of the day, he'll be Judas-goating for Obama and the shitty right-wingers that rule his party as soon as the next national elections approach. It's a shame how many prominent "progressives" are willing to capitulate to lesser-of-two-evils thinking when push comes to shove.

All non-establishment political movements are swallowed up into one of the two heads of the twin-dragon that dominates the land by the time the big election comes every 4 years

the populist movement of the 1880s was swallowed into the democratic party and forever disappeared, they fought to free farmers from the de facto slavery system of the crop lien, outrageous loans, etc.

The progressive movement which was neither republican or democrat was split in twain and swallowed by both

the labor movement was split in twain and half was swallowed by the democrats the other half still lives on in the socialist/communist/anarchist movements

the closest this nation has ever come to breaking the grip of the neo-nobles was with Eugene Debs who ran for president but lost because of the war breaking out.

Even today the tea party, which started out as a non-partisan group of anti-neocons has been subverted and turned into the political arm of fox news and has drowned out the original sane voices with the insane war-hawk squawking of racism, jingoistic nationalism, and born-again fundamentalism.

How many tea-party/republicans would change their political party if they found out every founding father was a non-christian in the sense of how they see themselves as christians, in fact even madison and jefferson took every chance they could to insult and mock establishment christianity.

Separation of Church and state works both ways, no government interference in church and no interference of church in the government...which obviously hasn't worked out seeing that abortion is still a hot topic and stem cell research doesn't receive as much funding as it should.

P.S. Legalize weed, chill out war-mongers.

I'm always 50/50 on Mike Moore--he's got some valid points, but he's such a douche that I find him hard to back sometimes...but that's neither here nor there...

Did you happen to read the Rowley & O'Neill article that Moore linked to? Its one thing for Moore to speculate, but they both seem to think that if a WikiLeaks-like option would have existed, they may have been able to affect the 9/11 plot in a significant way.
