how to reach wikileaks when your government doesn’t want you to

Wikileaks “Could become as important a journalistic tool as the Freedom of Information Act” says Time Magazine.

The U.S. government does not want its citizens to be able to read about their government’s classified lies and crimes which have been posted on Wikileaks, so they’ve illegally shut down all the servers that take you there in an attempt to pre-censor what you read and think by controlling where you can go.

So I suggest you stop by Wikileaks and make up your own mind. It’s easy to reach – type 213.251.145.96. into your browser, click, and you’re there.

Because Wikileaks is using our government’s own official documents to expose U.S. lies and crimes from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and our murder of civilians in both countries, and the immoral treachery of crooked leaders. and the lying spying diplomats of all countries, many world governments are trying to shut down any access we the people have to Wikileak’s site in three ways: by flooding Wilileaks with dedicated denial of service attacks; by kicking them off any Corporate servers they can intimidate; and by knocking them off any online pay services which transfer donations to help keep Wikileaks going.

In an attendant character assassination, Sweden has accused Julian Assange, the leader of Wikileaks, of sex crimes for having consensual sex with two adult women while not wearing a condom. I know not wearing a condom is stupid in that it leads to unwanted pregnancies and sexual disease; but while it may be a moral crime, I’ve never heard anyone suggest it was an international crime worthy of arrest by Interpol.

The U.S. government forced Amazon to kick Wikileaks off their servers, and then forced Pal Pay to stop processing any financial donations for Wikileaks. Pay Pay’s excuse is their policies say, “our payment service cannot be used for any activities that encourage, promote, facilitate or instruct others to engage in illegal activity.” Funny thing is, this type of whistle blowing is not only legal under U.S. law but is encouraged as well with whistleblower rewards — and Wikileaks is not engaging or promoting illegal activity, but is rather exposing illegal activity by our own government.

It would appear our would-be masters are showing their Big Brother mentality a wee bit too openly. Watch it government dudes — you keep this up and we might realize you’re nothing more than thugs.

The U.S. and Turkey and Germany and France and Afghanistan and Russia are trying to shut down any possibility of their citizens visiting Wikileaks and reading how crooked and arrogant and illegal the governments are — governments that in most cases are supposed to be servants of the citizens, not their master repressors.

The State Department has just threatened the college students at Columbia that they’d better not mention anything about Wikileaks, especially on such social media as Face Book and Twitter, and that if they do, they’ll never ever get a job with the government. Is that extortion, or blackmail?

Looks like our leaders are finally coming out of the closet with their threats and heavy handed thuggery. These are the people we elected to serve us?

Amazon, you should be ashamed of cowering before your masters; and PayPal, your name and honor now reek of lies and cowardice.

I am going to contribute $25 to Wikileaks. Were I not so poor, it’d be way more. If you want to help, go to 213.251.145.96./support.html and choose one of five ways of contributing. Of course the government will be watching, and who knows how they will punish you.

As for the angry governments, they should realize Wikileaks has posted huge caches of encrypted secret government files all over the internet that will be much more shocking, damaging and embarrassing than what’s already been released; and should harm come to Wikileaks or Julian Assange, they will release the passwords so anyone can read them.

Back in the 1971, Daniel Ellsberg smuggled the truth about our lying involvement in the Vietnam War out of the Pentagon and gave the Pentagon Papers to the newspapers and helped shorten the war and saved lives, and by doing so became one of my heroes. I don’t know if Julian Assange is a good man or an arrogant asshole, but what he’s doing is moral and for the good of us all; it will save lives, maybe get a few of the political crooks and liars and murderers out of elected office and into jail.

I just received this email from my good friend Stone Ranger in which he laments: “I feel sometimes like we’re watching the unraveling of life as we know it ~ WikiLeaks being the latest example. Suddenly, for all to see in b&w&living color, is the evidence of the corruption, shallowness, duplicity, and phony-boloney politics of empire in decline. For better or worse, the curtain has been pulled at least partially back and whataya know, the wizard is not only naked, but half cocked as well. The Repubs have simultaneously stopped an extension of unemployment benefits and continued an extension of the tax benefits for the richest among us. Jeez, what a surprise. Theater of the Bizarre ~ enjoy your front row seat while you can, because pretty soon the building may fall apart. There should be a public service announcement ~ “Ladies and gentlemen, please enjoy this absurd stage play, and don’t mind the walls shaking ~ get under your seats if the ceiling tiles hit you in the head.”

“That sound you hear is plaster cracking…

“The WikiLeaks guy will be lucky to be alive in a month ~ someone somewhere will think they’re doing the world a service a la’ Jack Ruby. The scary thing is………. people want the charade ~ so much easier to live with. And they’ll welcome the traffic cameras at every light; and the surveillance cameras on the corners; and searching our bags; and seeing through our clothes; and retina scans……….. the terrorists have won ~ those in the planes, and those in the government.”

May you live in interesting times. This is Smith once again reporting from backside the mirror in tarnished brain land.
