The Wikileaks.org domain has been suspended and Paypal has banned its donation's account.

However, it is now accessible again from Switzerland at wikileaks.ch

Really funny - once the US government does not like a website, it does not take long until it is offline.

But what about all those thousand other blatantly-illegal websites that are a million times worse?

They have been online for years...and will be.

Really odd.

It seems to have taken a long time for the Americans to shut him down
I don't think they will shut him up, tho, unless they kill him - and that has been suggested.
It's possible the Swedish rape case has been engineered to get him tied up legally. A prosecutor looked at that in September and dismissed it. Another prosecutor looked at it - after the intervention of a Swedish politician - and decided he did have a case to answer. So there is now a new European warrant out for him. The UK police - having refused to act of the first warrant, which they said was incorrectly completed - will be obliged to act on this new warrant. So far, Mark Stephens (Julian Assange's UK solicitor) hasn't seen that warrant - he said in an interview with Andrew Marr yesterday.

Is it a madness to put your life and liberty at risk by putting into the public domain information that others want to keep secret?
What can be achieved by it?
Assange would probably say that these people should be made to account publicly for what they do in secret.
'These people' would say that Assange is damaging political alliances, endangering lives and helping an enemy.

Would it be too cynical to imagine that it is all part of some long-term, 'open' black ops gameplan? The modern-day equivalent of attaching a secure brief-case (packed with misleading information) to some tramp's body, putting him in a uniform and dropping him in the sea.
I mean, they had to make sure that tramp was found, right?
Maybe after dozens of tramps (in a variety of uniforms) were dumped in various seas around the world, and never found - they came up with this new idea?
Or they'd run out of tramps or brief-cases!

Found an Independent story about the Swedish trip here:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/trip-to-sweden-that-put-assange-in-the-firing-line-2154110.html
Seems very detailed, so I wonder where they got all the information?

Let Assange free! I hope I don't get punished for saying that

Well 'wiki' means 'quick' in Hawaiian - the Wikipedia guy got the Wiki form the Wiki-Wiki bus company in Honolulululu. So there's some irony there for most the world, in that he was exposed due to playing fast loose and trying to leak himself - except in the UK: where it's a phrase for unnecessarily announcing that nothing so toxic as Stella is about to be splashed over the walls of the cistern chapel.



from the satirical site... quickleaksslashpiss




as for attacks on those who withdrew...maybe that can be Assange's defense?
