Wikileaks Shut Down by U.S. Court »
Posted By TechnologyExpert 1 year, 8 months ago in Science & TechnologyWikileaks was started with the intention of allowing whistleblowers to anonymously release government and corporate documents, "an uncensorable version of Wikipedia for untraceable mass document leaking and analysis. Of course, that only works if the site is reachable.

Actually, this dictatorship in the White House created a law that allows whistleblowers on fraud of government agencies to recover 10% of the money the government lost by fraud.
This was blocked because GOVERNMENT documents are being leaked to the public. THE END.
Stop your conspiracy theories, especially when they contradict common sense, truth, and the law.

This story has been up on Propeller for 18 hours, is currently on the front page with 74 votes, yet has drawn TWO COMMENTS thus far. This is exactly how the dictatorship will erode the freedom of the internet -- one seemingly small court ruling at a time, with few even realizing the significance of what is happening, let alone reacting to it.
This is the most important story of the year. We had BETTER stay tuned.

According to the story the site has not been shut down and can still be reached by way of the IP Address.

I suspect it is just a matter of time before they order the host to take the whole site down.

This could turn out to be a third rail issue. Clearly, 1st Amendment rights are involved, as well as protections in the form of whistleblower protection laws. This idiot freaking judge could find his fingers scorched at some point. It doesn't surprise me even a little that these people who are helping to commit crimes are trying to keep the evidence off the net. Here again, I should think the whistleblower protection laws should protect these (Wikileaks) people. At least in this country. I don't know about Switzerland, the U.K, or the Cayman Islands. My suspicion is that those laws may be absent - at least in the Caymans where they pride themselves on helping people hide their assets. (Which, by the way, I usually have no problem with. Long as it isn't illegal or fraudulent somehow.) Far as I know, revealing evidence of criminal activity is NOT considered a violation of a confidentiality agreement.

It's fraudulent if they don't give some of the money taken OUT of America BACK TO to America in the form of taxes.
Otherwise we are hemorrhaging money that goes OUTSIDE of our system (and never comes back), for no one else to use to stimulate our economy.
It's HOARDING. And a sign of greed.

This action was centered around a Swiss banking group & their shenanigans. Fascinating. Why would a bush appointee (The Judge) be concerned about a Swiss banking group?
So I just spent 15 minutes looking around, & find that this group (Julius Baer) has a NY office. Clicking on links, I find they are underwritten by several investment funds. One that caught my eye, was the American Century Funds...of which there were several listed. Is there, I ask myself, a link between the American Century Funds & the Project for a New American Century? (PNAC). PNAC is a conservative group who wishes to bring corporatism to the forefront of the world's power. I know Cheney is a charter member of PNAC, & he had between 10-25 million invested in the American Century Funds.....I must say, we are in desperate need of investigative reporters to check up on things. After only 15 minutes, I'm ready for a nap.
