What if Assange was hired too ?

Jeebizz 12-04-2010 10:49 AM

It is possible, although I do have a favorable opinion about wikileaks, I am not so deeply entrenched in my opinion that I am not open to debate and all other possibilities. I'm not going to bite your virtual head off for stating that; I'm not Kenny :D *ducks*.

One other aspect, it is possible that wikileaks is being intentionally undermined. Assange's goal might actually be what he stated, but it is just possible that he is being fed mis-information and he may not realize it.

I guess now, the stuff is out there but you yourself have to make up your own mind about it.

H_TeXMeX_H 12-04-2010 10:52 AM

Well, I was trying to download it and parse it using grep or something, but it seems the torrent isn't working.

Jeebizz 12-04-2010 10:54 AM

I guess just wait, the tracker just may be down temporarily. Or try piratebay or your favorite torrent site, I'm sure you can find it there, ;)

From my transmission :
Code:

http://tracker.publicbt.com:80
Tracker has 326 seeders and 31 leechers

Filename
insurance.aes256

Kind regards

I don't know if he is looking for the insurance file, but perhaps the torrent of the archive site of cablegate.wikileaks? http://88.80.16.63/torrent/cablegate...501.7z.torrent

Sorry for the confusion.

in theory these people work for the people of the US .
it is well accepted that an employer has the right to see all and every thing on an employees computer email web history EVERY THING !
if these people are employees of the people of the US we have the same right to see how they are carrying out our business.
the same as any other employer would have

H_TeXMeX_H 12-04-2010 12:11 PM

None of the torrents work for any of this. It's ok, I found a file host source for the insurance one. I didn't even know they posted this.

Jeebizz 12-04-2010 12:17 PM

Insurance file is available from thepiratebay and demonoid, also try torrentz.com (torrent search engine), you are bound to find a working one.

Or try: http://www.torrentdownloads.net/torr...eaks+Insurance, there are over 300 seeders.

Speaking of cryptome, this article is rather interesting I think:

Quote:

From http://cryptome.org/0003/wikileaks-coward.htm

Wikileaks Redactions Are Cowardly

Wikileaks should stop the redactions of names in the diplomatic cables and war files and release untampered documents.

Name redactions are immensely deceptive -- like knee-jerk claiming there are valid grounds for some vital secrets -- they are used to hold hostages under guise of protection. Continue to obey or your name will be revealed. Redact or you will be pilloried in public. (Toot: The New York Times tried the "responsible redaction" scam on Cryptome with the CIA Mossadeq overthrow report.)

Dozens, perhaps hundreds of people are being put at risk by believing they are protected by the phony redaction scam Wikileaks has cowardly joined under pressure to conform to authoritative demands to be "responsible." Far better to tell the truth that the names are already loose so the victims know what the cabal of secretkeepers knows.

As if those who know the true names at redacting authoritatives, at Wikileaks and among the lawyers, editors and personnel at its new big media bedmates will never tell, will tightly control the original documents, will never be subject to betrayal or a burglary or a leak, will never have a trusted insider who acts to inform the world, will never write a tell-all best seller like Daniel Schmidt, will never aspire to be Time's Person of the Year, a Nobelist, a movie star, a sexual predator eager to cut a deal with the authorities.

Assange's craven desire to be an important world player is destructive to the Wikileaks initiative to engage many participants equally with preference for documents not personal fame. Fortunately, multiple wikis for leaking are now being set up unbound by Assange's lack of courage -- presuming that lack of courage is not contagious to the newcomers.

Never redact. No vital secrets. No deals with cheating dealers. No gulling of more Bradley Mannings.

There must be something wrong, because none of the torrents are working. I have disabled my firewall and they still don't work.

I have downloaded another torrent a few months ago and it worked with the firewall on.

Jeebizz 12-04-2010 12:38 PM

Odd, the link I provided from cryptome with the 300+ seeders works for me. I am getting the file @2+MB/s. I guess it is your firewall. *shrug*

H_TeXMeX_H 12-04-2010 01:06 PM

I checked everything, router setup, firewall setup, etc. I have concluded that it is probably my ISP that has banned torrents.

One thing you can do once you get it is run 'ent' on it and post the output, that's all I wanted to do anyway.

Jeebizz 12-04-2010 01:16 PM

Well I already have the file burned to two DVDs :D, I already cut off the torrent. Unfortunately with my 11 year old desktop, I don't think running ent on such a big file will be a good idea :(

rob.rice 12-04-2010 01:41 PM

well wikileaks.ch is working now
until I saw H_TexMex_H's post about I about the torrents was thinking the censorship was over
his torrent problem could be his ISP doing favors in exchange for favors

they have business before congress ya know

the government has also declared war on torrents to
can you download any torrents H_TexMex_H ?
