... yes, we have seen this already for a few days ... Anyway, the WikiLeaks effect is not unrelated to what is happening in the Arab countries ...

If there is eel under the rock (underlying interest in destabilizing regimes), it would be very possible that such a tussle would contaminate "democracies" (note the quotes) because in this too, the civil society has been muzzled for almost ten years ... answer to Cap'taine Maloche and you PBS => when is the big awakening? : Mrgreen: how much would it take to "facebook" to launch the mayonnaise and make a movement reach the critical size? (For example for greater transparency in political life, a reform of the rules in the financial sector, etc.) :? : Cheesy: 8)

Because you think Facebook is better !!!!!

Personally I avoid Google and Facebook as much as possible, just like Explorer with all its flaws which are open doors for spying on people!


The McAfee anti-virus which is in the pay of the American govt also I avoid!


Besides, the USA and Canada are marching to gag the free internet as we know it, and all that under the reason of 9/11 and terrorism! : Evil:

Aaaah but I didn't say that Alain, especially not ... (read my other post elsewhere ... including "El Baradei the double game?")

Besides Face of goat we know who is behind ....

No, no, I was just saying that it would be smart to use the same trick to turn it against them (if indeed the malevolence is proven ...) but for me, it all stinks too sullen, and grayish or something, not to say the "verdigris" and the manipulation of crowds (even and especially since the information which reaches us is very contradictory), one can even already hear the noise of the boots, right?) :? 8)

To read: http://www.telemoustique.be/tm/magazine ... leaks.html

The hidden side of WikiLeaks

Opaque funding, lack of rigor: for the former number 2 of the site, WikiLeaks has gone over to the dark side. Its founder too.

One is never betrayed better than by one's own. The sternest prosecutor of the famous cyberactivist Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks (whose revelations of top secret information shake the governments of the whole world - see opposite), was also his best friend. This rainy Saturday, this big guy gives us an appointment in a Berlin basement. When he receives, Daniel Domscheit-Berg is immersed in a work which deciphers the workings of MI5, the British intelligence service. This 32 year old German may start a new life, but he still has the same appetite for the secrets of this world.

Without it, WikiLeaks would not exist. Backbone of Assange as soon as they met in 2006 at the Chaos Computer Club, a Berlin hacker salon, Domscheit-Berg agreed to leave everything for the man with the silver hair. His job as an IT consultant, weekends with his 10-year-old son, and even his identity: during his years in hiding, Domscheit-Berg became "Schmidt".

What surprises the most when reading Inside WikiLeaks, the book by Domscheit-Berg which has just been published in French, is the artisan side of the adventure. The site may have changed the course of the presidential election in Kenya in 2007 or even triggered the era of Sarah Palin after having thrown away her electronic correspondence, it is the work of only a handful of activists. "Half a dozen people did three quarters of the job," Domscheit-Berg assures us. A work without a net which resulted in some collateral damage.

Thus, the German architect Ralf Schneider was wrongly mentioned in a list of tax evaders. His name was too similar to that of another architect, the Swiss Rolf Schneider. "We wanted to go too fast on too many fronts at the same time," Domscheit-Berg confesses today. Another "victim": the American military analyst Bradley Manning, behind bars since July because he was accused of having given information to WikiLeaks, does not know when he will be released. "Assange has been on probation since mid-December. He lives in a castle in the south of England." In the meantime, he announced a fortnight ago that he wanted to sue Domscheit-Berg for his work.

A huge disappointment

Domscheit-Berg's disappointment is on a par with his worship of Assange. It was decided: the Australian fan of Soviet dissident Solzhenitsyn was going to change the world. "You had to see him multiply the passwords on his keyboard to play with the authorities of the planet. I realized it too late, but the keyboard was his only friend." Because, while WikiLeaks is growing in importance, Assange is not kind to his followers. When the German asks the Australian about the money which is finally starting to flow, he is rebuffed. "It's embarrassing for a site that claims to shed light on it." Weakened by accusations of rape, prosecuted by Swedish justice, Assange does not agree to temporarily withdraw. The disagreement is expressed through violent email exchanges. Suspended from important decisions in August, Domscheit-Berg slams the door in September.

Since then, he has rebuilt his life. He lives in Berlin and still believes in the virtues of transparency. "We must wake up the Western countries, these dormant democracies." But the validation process needs to be strengthened. "Our supervisory board will be public, as will our finances," explains Domscheit-Berg, who is launching a new site, Openleaks. With another outgoing WikiLeaks, Herbert Snorrason, he promises his first revelations before the summer.

Basically, it doesn't matter whether WikiLeaks wins the Nobel Peace Prize (its name was mentioned by a Norwegian deputy) or whether it displays a black screen one day. Other sites will emerge, which will benefit from the support of Anonymous, an army of shadows capable of abusing an Egyptian government site or that of MasterCard. The main thing will be not to be manipulated. Daniel Domscheit-Berg still does not understand why the Russian-Israeli writer Israel Shamir, suspected of helping WikiLeaks, denies the existence of the concentration camps. "From computers we have succeeded in making Kalashnikovs", he likes to repeat. Be careful not to leave them in just any hands.

Yes, well even though the guy was driven by megalomania - which is yet to be proven, because so far he's always sided with the best interests of the victims ... going so far as to put his own life in danger, in spite of the fatwa of the American government against it ... one could "dream" better in this register! First of all he is the product of "society", then he laughs about it (seen on TED) and finally where would we be today without him?

I'm not to condemn someone ex abrupto, without weighing the opinions of both sides (I did not even do it for GW Bush, yet recognized as a war criminal by certain recognized organizations ...). Because, for the moment, he hasn't killed anyone yet. Its detractors are "dissidents", and they are wrong in that they have not demonstrated their ability to solve the problem inside their structure, so long as they are not the bosses ... They should show a little respect for the founder, even if like each of us he is not necessarily "perfect". If this word has a meaning in this world!

To condemn without judging and to execute without listening, was that not precisely what he was fighting against when he created WikiLeaks?

Internet, WikiLeaks, the dangers of transparency

From the scandal of the Pick, to the revelations of WikiLeaks, so many cases that would never have seen the light of day without the relentlessness of women or men alone but determined…

Who are these new vigilantes of which Julian Assange is the model and who no longer hesitate to confront governments, to break the omerta and state secrets? To alert and mobilize, their weapons are no longer sit-ins and leaflets, but the Internet, television or even the cinema.

Among them, there are these young hackers who destabilize multinationals from their teenage bedroom. But also these women who have put their careers at risk to defend a just cause, like Irène Frachon, Véronique Vasseur or Sihem Souïd. Why did they choose to say no, whatever the cost?

Between civic engagement and the dictatorship of absolute transparency, further investigation of these new militants and their battles.

What happens when an organization disturbs?

A website has "stumbled upon" a war document drawn up by consultants for the "bank of america", the next announced target of wikileaks.

In this document, they explain their strategy against wikileaks:

- announcement by wikileaks:
http://www.wikileaks.de/

- initial article:
http://www.thetechherald.com/article.ph ... -WikiLeaks

- the document of the battle against wikileaks:
http://www.wikileaks.de/IMG/pdf/WikiLea ... nse_v6.pdf

Well, a plot :-)

PS: I didn't even say: "yet" :D

Saving the .pdf V6: https://www.econologie.info/share/partag ... Rs4CrD.pdf

Since the media coverage of the case and the virtual and global solidarity around the case, I think that no one will be able to block wikileak. Hundreds of mirrors (of the site, maybe not news ...)

The CE report last night was "interesting", it is available here: http://info.france2.fr/complement-denqu ... brique=101

The passage with the anti nuclear armored door of the Swedish datacenter of WikiLeaks 30 cm thick but with a conventional lock made me laugh ... : Mrgreen: : Mrgreen:

Julian Assange, that great man who dies in general indifference

An opinion by Aurore Van Opstal, journalist, and signed by academics, journalists and people from civil society (*).

Once upon a time there was a hacker, a little weird, with a desire to tell the truth about the world he lives in. His name is Julian Assange and was born on July 3, 1971 in Australia. He is a cyber activist, a brilliant man who finds that the gap is too big between the reality of the political world and the information known to citizens. He therefore proposes to create a site where everyone can, in complete virtual confidentiality, send sensitive information. In English, the word "leak" is called "leak": Wikileaks was born. Assange and four people are running the site.

In 2010, WikiLeaks published documents on the Iraq war and in particular a video, which had gone viral internationally; Collateral murder. The latter shows the air raid of July 12, 2007 in Baghdad. This is an American blunder that occurred during the war, during which an American Apache helicopter opened fire on a group of civilians, including two reporters from the Reuters agency. At least 18 people were killed in the raid. Civilians. The innocent. This video caused a scandal. President Obama had to speak urgently. Julian Assange became, that day, the target, the number 1 public enemy of the United States. US authorities begin to investigate WikiLeaks and Assange under the Espionage Act of 1917. In addition, investigations are launched against Assange by several government agencies, including the FBI.



Wikileaks, also, in parallel, denounced the corruption circuits of African dictators or certain Russian offshore companies.

In 2010, Assange went to Sweden where a prosecutor opened a preliminary investigation following the depositions of two Swedish women, one of whom wanted to force him to do an AIDS test (which he did) after having sex with him and the other who refused to sign the police statement. After having closed it, the preliminary investigation is reopened by Sweden in May 2019.

In 2012, Julian Assange, cornered on all sides, requested asylum at the Ecuadorian embassy in London. He will remain there, locked up, from 2012 to April 2019. With the change of president in Ecuador, at the beginning of 2019, Assange is arrested at the embassy. He has since been held in prison in England. The US is asking for his extradition for "hacking". As of this writing, Julian Assange is dying. He would have lost 15 kilos since the beginning of his confinement, struggles to find his words, limps and is marked by premature aging.

What about international law and sovereignty?

Without going into the mysteries of British law, the Assange case raises a fundamental question of international law. Assange is an Australian citizen, not the United States. He did not commit any crime in this country. He leaked information that was confidential but passed on by others (Chelsea Manning in particular) and did not steal it. All journalists do this, with generally less important information, but the principle is the same. In the United States press there is constant talk of information coming from "unidentified official sources".

If Assange is to be extradited on this basis and put in prison for the rest of his life, this means that in principle all the countries which spy on the USA should deliver their spies to them, as well as all the journalists who would publish information on this countries obtained by illegal means.

Admittedly the United States is not great defenders of the national sovereignty of the other countries than theirs, but here one crosses an extraordinary stage and the absence of reaction of the allied governments of the USA, mainly British and Australian, illustrates the extreme degree of their submission.

A man (almost) alone

People defend Julian Assange like American director Oliver Stone who said: "Julian Assange is an editor for the truth. He did a remarkable job on behalf of humanity despite his inhuman treatment. This matter is crucial for survival. our right to know and our essential freedom to fight US and UK oppression - and now tyranny! " (1) But far too few public figures stand up for this man. Let us quote, however, three which develop interesting reflections around the "Assange case": John Pilger (2), Australian journalist; Craig Murray (3), former British diplomat and Roger Waters (4), musician and founder of the group Pink Floyd.
