Please become a public beta tester for our new Environment and Energy Wiki, EEWiki. Anyone can join and edit or add articles!

The aim is to complement Wikipedia with impartial and factual, easy-to-understand, articles explaining anything to do with the environment or energy. The target audience is not the advanced scientist, rather the informed members of the public with at least a high school education. So far, we have over 200 article titles and increasing rapidly. We shall go fully public when we touch on about 1,000 articles.

I emphasise that registered members can preserve perfect anonymity: we ask for neither their real names nor e-mail addresses. Every effort has been made to keep the EEWiki spam and bug-free. There are few rules to follow, but anything or anyone who disrupts the intention of ease-of-use or factual editing or reasonable discussion will be e-killed off the wiki! The articles are not a forum for discussion, but the talk pages may be.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')ikileaks has released a sensitive 219 page US military counterinsurgency manual. The manual, Foreign Internal Defense Tactics Techniques and Procedures for Special Forces (1994, 2004), may be critically described as "what we learned about running death squads and propping up corrupt government in Latin America and how to apply it to other places". Its contents are both history defining for Latin America and, given the continued role of US Special Forces in the suppression of insurgencies, including in Iraq and Afghanistan, history making.

Since before Christmas there has been zip at wikileaks, just some version of their funding drive page. I am partly saddened by their absence, partly a bit suspicious.
If you read through the current blurb they say they simply cannot take advertising revenues for editorial integrity reasons. While this is understandable, if it were me running the site I would prefer to take the $ with a disclaimer that if negative information comes through in relation to advertisers it will be published as if they never were; then stick to this policy. Surely there are some potential advertisers who's integrity is good enough this shouldn't be a problem?

IMO wikileaks is one of the most important sites on the net. It needs to be up and running.

They only take submissions from insiders. Government departments and corporations in the main. They check the bona-fide's of leakers, then publish articles without ever disclosing the exact source. It is a very serious site. I very strongly suggest anyone with an interest in what is going on behind the scenes in government and corporate worlds keep an eye on this site, when it gets back up.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')ll money raised goes primarily towards the infrastructure costs of running a large network of servers in several countries so that the service cannot be sabotaged.

Wikileaks launched in 2006, with the aim of releasing secret information about governments and companies. In the UK it gained notoriety for publishing the BNP membership list, 9/11 pager messages and the manual used by soldiers working with detainees at Gunanamo Bay.

If you read the current page on wikileaks.org at wikipedia it says they have received a lot (hundereds of thousands of $ worth) of pro bono legal help in defeating over 100 attempts to shut it down. IMO these guys have a lot of testicular fortitude; there are very few if any examples in the world of such fearless publication. I hope they get back up and soon.

Bah! What is it about humans--they just can't stand to see anything succeed. They must destroy or main everything. I wish the die off would hurry up. I am so disgusted this morning!

[Bas]

I've heard and read about it and I know the piratebay was asking it's users to support it a while ago, but otherwise I don't think I ever heard of a scoop that landed them in the MSM.

On the other hand, I think it's very important that there is an organisation for whistle blowers, because often, even in western democracies, whistle blowers are still very vulnerable and often lose their jobs, are sued and chased in other ways to make their lives miserable...

[pablonite]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Ferretlover', 'B')ah! What is it about humans--they just can't stand to see anything succeed. They must destroy or main everything. I wish the die off would hurry up. I am so disgusted this morning!

[SeaGypsy]

Geez FL! Wake up on the wrong side this morning?

Bas, wikileaks is owned by the same dudes as piratebay. In Australia their leaking of the 1st censorship list on the net here made headlines; since then the name has been getting around a lot more. Their are a lot of extremely hot stories on the site (when it is working) the lack of general MSM exposure has more to do with the timidity of the MSM than any lack of available content. Who wants real news when Brangelina are splitting up/ not splitting up/ sueing those who said they are splitting up/ playing the MSM like the pack of fools and idol worshippers they are? I hope they win their courtcase(s) and do something really cool with the $. They could adopt a kid from every country in the world! Heck why not a boy and a girl from each, have a Brangelina's Ark for the human race/s at dieoff time? Get me? Everyone knows this silly shit because it is worldwide news. Where the Fark is the real news? On wikileaks. Brangelina should sling them 10 million $.

This document is a classifed (SECRET/NOFORN) 32 page U.S. counterintelligence investigation into WikiLeaks. ``The possibility that current employees or moles within DoD or elsewhere in the U.S. government are providing sensitive or classified information to Wikileaks.org cannot be ruled out''. It concocts a plan to fatally marginalize the organization...
