It will probably lead to more regulation and loss of freedom on the net than anything else.  Like I said if it was uncovering some great secret cover up or something it might have been worth it

I'm worried about that too. Strangely enough, some conspiracy theorists speculate that all this was deliberate for that very reason. However the fallout of this leak shows that a consider amount of people aren't buying the bullshit the government is saying. The final draw card in the game is the insurance file, if that is decrypted and is as destructive as it made out to be, this is nothing what we're seeing right now.

Bear in mind these cables leaked go all the way back to 1966 and stop at February 2010; and approximately 2,000 of 251,287 of them have been released. So a LOT of information is still encrypted and undisclosed.

Yes that's lots of info to come but who knows if anything interesting is in iit or is it just more of the same.  If it is just more of the same I might even side with the conspiracy people who knows what his real agenda is or who really leaked the information.

The damage has already being done, and I doubt people will take net censorship lying down.

However there already something worth noting with this current leak, there's no real information that I've heard of regarding Israel in the currently released cables... Either that's being withheld for the ultimate leak or... Yeah, I better not suggest it.

Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

But there's one thing everyone can agree on, this will change the world, especially if everything is released.

Wireless networks are the last avenue if landlines are isolated for government/business use only, if not, underground p2p networks, VPN, proxies, etc can evade such censorship. Look at China, people there can still access the outside internet if they know how, so it's not all lost if it happens.

If so however, that's when the vicious methods must be deployed, great sacrifice is sometimes required to ensure your freedoms.

I am one of 27000 names behind a petition of a group trying to get a half page to page ad on the Washington Times.  :headbang2:
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

If you really want to ensure wikileaks survival, download and seed wikileaks related torrents. :headbang2:

The "world government" aka the United Nations does not support the USA's censorship actions.

Yahoo News:

Quote
The U.N.'s top human rights official [Navi Pillay] raised the alarm over officials' and corporations' moves to cut off WikiLeaks' funding and starve it of server space — something she described as a "potentially violating WikiLeaks' right to freedom of expression."

(...)

WikiLeaks' payment processor, DataCell ehf, said it was preparing to sue Visa and MasterCard over their refusal to process donations to WikiLeaks. DataCell CEO Andreas Fink said he would seek damages from the U.S. credit card companies, saying "it is simply ridiculous to think WikiLeaks has done anything criminal."

Pillay said if WikiLeaks had broken the law "then this should be handled through the legal system and not through pressure and intimidation."
