Unlimited Wikileaks Shenanigans

Dutch police arrested a 16-year-old teenager on Wednesday for his involvement in the online attacks against Visa and Mastercard, organized by supporters of WikiLeaks.

According to a press release by the Netherlands' Public Prosecution Service, the boy has confessed to participating in the attacks. They believe he is a part of a much larger group of hackers, who they are in the process of tracking down.

Well, fuck. Anonymous over.

Or maybe Anonymous will just attack the Dutch police instead.

This can only go well.

hehehe "leekspin", great name that.

and indeed Telarus quote is a great idea, so I combined both, maybe people can spread that img too:






and WOW the "OM" is the Dutch name for the public prosecutor

and it is retarded how quickly they got the 16yo kid attacking MasterCard, while the police seems to claim being hands-tied on pretty much everything else.

this is a blog post on how a Texan security company has been facilitating the pimping out of young boys to some afgans.

Currently dealing with someone who thinks this is no big deal.   

I got into it last night with someone about this.  I took the "the entire company should come down because of this" stance that I honestly believe.  He took the "only the people responsible should go down" position that happens more often than not.  I accused him of being on the "raping of boys" side which, in hindsight, may have been unfair.  This leak more than any other really gets under my skin and if it was being given the sort of glaring spotlight it deserves, I don't think any organization could or should be able to survive it.

I would usually agree with the "prosecute those only actually responsible crowd", except for I am convinced that in many cases, private military companies are aware their people are trafficking in kids, drugs, weapons etc and actively encourage and facilitate it, or turn a blind eye because someone within the administration (military command, Pentagon, CIA, State Dept) has said whoever they're providing these "services" to is too important to lose control over.

Which is a whole different level of culpability.

I mean, hell, plenty of these mercenaries have a rap sheet as long as my arm, and many are looking to serve abroad precisely because it is better than having their local law enforcement pick them up and make them serve time at home.  Many of the crimes are of a violent nature, and some are sexual.  At the very least that is negligence on the part of the companies.

normally I would also say just those responsible should go down, but with something like this I find it hard to believe the higher ups wouldn't know. 

[Cain]

Agreed.

[LMNO]

I just heard on the BBC that there is talk of declaring wikileaks a "terrorist organization" due to the DDoS attacks.

No one seems to understand that Wikileaks and Anonymous are not actually the same thing.

Of course, they're using it as an excuse to arrest anyone who gives wikilkeaks money.

Man, they're not even trying to cover their tracks anymore.

Okay, so who knows where I should be xposting this?  Do they still organize this shit at /b/?

The Guardian reports that former Crown Prosecution Service extradition expert Raj Joshi said that extradition was unlikely:

    "On what we know so far, it is going to be very difficult to extradite. The judge has to be satisfied that the conduct equals an extraditable offence and that there are no legal bars to extradition.

    "Assange's team will argue, how can the conduct equal an extraditable offence if the [Swedish] prosecutor doesn't think there is enough evidence to charge, and still has not charged."


One of the two Swedish women who have filed sex complaints against the founder of WikiLeaks has reportedly left Sweden and may no longer be cooperating with the criminal investigation.

According to a report at Australian news site Crikey.com, Anna Ardin has moved to the Palestinian territories to volunteer with a Christian group working to reconcile Arabs and Israelis.

I wish it was that simple, no he's saying that it's 'culturally acceptable' there, and denying that DynCorp or its employees did anything wrong.  And that the coverup was a good thing.

yeah, that's a lot worse than the guy I was arguing with.  If this is someone you know personally, I'd get to know new people.  That's an irredeemable cunt of a cop out position.

I suppose this person is also cool with female circumcision as long as it's being practiced in Africa and would, presumably, be ok with human sacrifice were it still being practiced in Central America.

Someone should really chain their doors closed

I'm wondering if those involved could be prosecuted in America under the Protect Act of 2003.

Talk about blaming the victim...

Now, declaring Anon terrorists I would understand, that one is really only a matter of time.
