Nice!  You gotta love Blue Öyster Cult.

I figured I'd check out the anonops #OperationPayback IRC channel just
to get a feel for it.  Man, that place is hoppin.  I didn't learn
anything, though.

Re: Support Wikileaks

In reply to this post by Alfredo Covaleda Vélez
Don't support the current Wikileaks,
and don't turn Assange into a hero.
Julian Assange is not the hero the media
wants to see in him. The problem is that
the media does not report objective or
independent in the case of Wikileaks.
Whenever the media is involved in a case
itself, it comes to a big buzz caused by
a positive feedback loop.

Assange suspended the German hacker Daniel
Schmidt (alias Daniel Domscheit-Berg),
when the platform turned from a whistleblower
site to a biased site for the fight against a
superpower - the US. Daniel reports about it
here (in German)
http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/0,1518,719604,00.html
http://www.freitag.de/wochenthema/1041-im-prinzip-gut

What he says makes sense, the original Wikileaks
he had in mind is a much better thing than the current
Wikileaks, which has turned into a biased site for a
Don Quichotte fight against windmills.

Hmmm.... Julian Assange is not the hero - Wikileaks is the hero, or at
least our proxy press.
However, organizations need leaders, and Assange is now the face - must
stand up.
If the Swedish sex charges weren't trumped up,  someone would have
trumped up something else.
If Assange quits, the next leader will be attacked.

Once you start whistleblowing against the US, it's game on - you're in
the major leagues.
I think Daniel simply doesn't understand what he's up against, how the
game's changed.
One cable showed the US shut down a Spanish court investigation into
torture - serious stuff.

These are no windmills - they are facts, and reporting them is necessary.

The US media is not doing its jobs. You can quibble about Wikileaks, but
they've only
published 1300 documents - after major papers vet them and release them.
They gave everyone time to see and block anything that would be really
damaging.

Re: Support Wikileaks

Agree.

Naturally it has a lot of value to know truth. Anyhow, many of the documents are no more than idle gossip and conjectures. Others are probably true but lack of value as proves and some guilties will continue walking free, cynically  laughing at us and getting more powerful. At least some deceived are facing truth.
