Um, I Think It's Time for a Thread on WikiLeaks

one of those guys who when you look at him you just start projecting

Well played, Curtis.

I dunno, these are not impressions I get from looking at him. They're impressions I get from his ridiculous OKC profile, his overblown writing & those creepy emails. But I'm prepared to admit that's projection, based on the known nutjobs he reminds me of.

is assange a 'rapey looking bro'

what's his OKC handle?

"fleeing the fearsome machine of Swedish justice"

I've had email correspondence in the distant past very much like that alleged set of JA emails. A belgian guy I met when I first got online was really similar - lots of "I AM A NIHILIST" rambling. Really spergy, basically.

Manning offered plea bargain if he names Assange as co-conspirator

and now he's just ignoring you, aspie or what

joeks, stanm is an a+ dude

huh? Who did I ignore?

Maybe there should be one thread about Wikileaks and another for weird speculation about Julian Assange.

Maybe Wikileaks needs its own board.

don't want paypal shutting down the next funding drive.

stanm -- i was making a ref to trayce's belgian emailer ;_;

oh, ok, lol!

interesting. wonder if the guardian will continue to be favoured by WL. didn't read the article by the women.

You should, it's the most complete and objective overview of both sides' claims.

If you had written this more concisely, less subjectively, been a bit less in denial of yourself, perhaps a bit more open-minded, left out the speculation on any specific (scurrilous allegations), it might have been something worthwhile.

As it is, it seems like nothing more than a bid to win approval and a pat on the head from some women you won’t get to have sex with. Looks like you throw men’s rights under the bus because you’re socially conditioned to be a wuss.

That’s the thing though – it’s a really bad anti-rape argument for anyone to use to get laid. It’s an argument by a man mostly to men about the way we’re taught to understand the world.

Also, fuck you, troll.

wish we could go back to the 18th century

So, about this cable that suggested Michael Moore's film Sicko was banned in Cuba. So the cable said.

So the Graun just reported that right?

...except it wasn't true, which (as Moore pointed out) the G could have worked out with five minutes of research and not just swallowed the cable's contents and spewed them back out.

Graun article: http://bit.ly/gkiGec

Michael Moore's blog: http://bit.ly/i5wfdF

its worth noting the paper did do a correction later... but still. This brings up questions of media regurgitating info without research, not to mention the fact a lot of the cables are full of porkies (theyre diplomats! Of course they'll make things up to keep thier betters happy).

Ah crap, that first URL is now broken. Darn.

LOL its broken because the Guardian have deleted the entire article, WTF.

This is what it says now instead. I'm a bit pissed a paper of repute would delete their error.

Whoever noticed this is some kind of evil genius.

cuba didn't ban this film (unlike a shit-ton of other films, being a dictatorship), but why the hell would it? it's doing the cuban govt's job for it. it's well established that the scenes double-m shot in the 'cuban hospital' were actually done in a ward only built 4 cuban party apparatchiks.

Does this mean that John Inman is a "rapey looking bro"?

Should have been phrased: Does this mean that John Inman was a "rapey looking bro"?

Assange <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_9309000/9309320.stm";>interview with BBC</a> - John Humphrys is really excellent in the first half.

BoA buying up unflattering domain names ahead of expected leak

hahahahahaahahahahahahaahahahahahaaha

yall shook!

Gonna have to be some huge beyond insane stuff, otherwise ill be rmde. The public knows these banks are crooked, this shit has been all over the news, in the leaked emails (remember the whole "Shitty products" fiasco?), and none of that has mattered cos the gov't and the financial system are pretty much one and the same. I mean, if some really damaging stuff comes out about Bank of America all they need to do is whine and say the economy is about to collapse and before you know it we will give them trillions of dollars. It's really a rigged game.

Maybe some higher ups will be fired or something, who knows. But it doesnt matter as long as the rules stay the same and if the past 2 years have taught us anything its that these people write those rules.

great article by Bruce Sterling:

http://spectregroup.wordpress.com/2010/12/23/crypto-blast-shack-finally-goes-off/

It's a good article but a little dour. I think he mythologises Assange a bit much. Perhaps he knows better than we do. All I know is that I watched the Wikirebels documentary earlier and am feeling much more positive about the long-game than perhaps Sterling does. But then, like Manning, I'm a little naive...

That said, I think Sterling projects a great deal. Is it SO naive to think some of these people are simply trying to make the world, in the tritest possible way, a better place?
