Wikileaks – shut down (but not effectively)

Perhaps you’ve heard of the recent court order in California which attempted to shut down Wikileaks at the request of a Swiss bank. Not particularly effective, though no doubt it will give the mirror sites a bit of a traffic boost. For anyone who runs across information on wikileaks (or elsewhere) which they feel is important, I recommend webcitation.org, screenshotting, copying the source code, downloading and spreading it all around. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket, in orther words.

Oh, yeah. Wikileaks information on the Swiss Bank/Cayman issue can be found here, the “shut down site” can be found hosted here. A current archive of wikipedia’s entry on wikileaks is here, which mentions searching “wikileaks cover names” to get around censorship issues under certain conditions. A list of such cover names is archived here.

So, if anyone wanted to anonymously leak onto the internet an FBI document which is claimed by the FBI not to exist such as, for instance, 203A-WF-210023 – a document which Sibel Edmonds and the UK Times say has existed in the past, there’s probably still a way, despite the “wikileaks shutdown”.
