The cyber war on free speech and wikileaks has begun

[Lies]

So, it seems the US government is doing all it can to shut down wikileaks and suppress the WORLD from viewing it.

There are back up links to wikileaks though, so far these are available, so spread the word:
46.59.1.2 and here 88.80.2.32
or the leaked State Department cables visit http://213.251.145.96/
from http://www.osnews.com/story/24074/US_Government_Censors_70_Websites

The US is really ramping up its war on intellectual property infringement, a war which I'm sure will be just as successful, cheap and supported by the people as the wars on drugs and terrorism. The US has started seizing the domain names of various websites through ICANN - not because owners of these sites were convicted of anything, but merely because complaints have been filed against them. Anyone want to take a guess how long it will be before the US government blocks WikiLeaks? Update: The blocks function outside of the US too. In other words, the US is forcing its views upon the rest of the world once again.

The current seizures of domains did not even use the proposed bill which recently passed the US Senate Judiciary Committee. The seizures come from the US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, and cover about 70 websites relating to potential copyright infringement and counterfeit goods, among which is Torrent-Finder.com, a mere torrent search engine which does not host or even link to torrents; it displays content hosted elsewhere through embedded iframes.

Maybe some kind of decentralized DNS? I'll have to ask my networking instructor about this.

I believe using OpenDNS or other third party DNS will allow you to resolve the URL.

I downloaded torrents of the cables, the Iraq War diaries and the Afghanistan War diaries, if anyone wants them

[Adios]

The Domain Name System acts like a "phone book" for the Internet. It translates a domain name like wikileaks.org into a number that points to a specific host computer. Even if DNS is not working, visitors can still find the site by going to the numerical address.

The new Swiss domain name does not mean that the WikiLeaks website itself has moved to Switzerland. The domain name points to servers based in Sweden, France, and elsewhere.

On Wednesday, Amazon.com Inc. — who had provided WikiLeaks with use of its servers to distribute embarrassing State Department communications and other documents — evicted it. WikiLeaks remains on the servers of its Swedish provider.

This really is a cyber war..........on freedom. Expect DHS to come out with threatened charges if Americans are caught viewing the material soon.

[Whatever]

The US has started seizing the domain names of various websites through ICANN - not because owners of these sites were convicted of anything, but merely because complaints have been filed against them.

I wonder how hard it is to file a complaint?  So many websites out there that can potentially offend me....

ICANN is a non-profit corporation set up, though not directly run, by the US Government.

OpenDNS gets its information from ICANN.  There are half a dozen projects in the works to get around this though.
