Anyone mind if I take a leak on the front page?

That's what you get for giving a girl ideas...

Wyamarus sent me this last night (2.00 / 1)

and he is on a slow connection, so I am sooooo glad you put this up.

I've had a throwing up 11 yr old since 3am - the first bout was in his bed.... something he hadn't done since he was a baby.

He is so miserable, right now, I can only pop in and out for a second right now.

Thanks! (10.50 / 4)

Glad to see that it gets more difficult to bury or discredit this with every additional mention,but what is really needed is more folks mirroring the source files which are linked at the collateralmurder.com site.

Remember that in the digital age, killing or repressing a story is both much easier and simultaneously potentially impossible depending on how ubiquitous the source becomes. WikiLeaks.Org has been under attack by not only the US and the UK, but also China, Russia, and various European parties to the global financial shakedown of the last few years. A single source can easily be shut down with the help of a complicit government agency,or simply made to "disappear" by blocking or "blacklisting" it's entry in the DNS (Domain Name Servers), of which the US has effective control. Folks who have enough bandwidth to collect and seed these files as torrents, should do so, as they are almost impossible to block, without such Draconian filtering that the entire internet comes effectively to a standstill. P2P networks are much more reliable in disseminating controversial data then Corporately-owned "social media" like Google's You Tube, as the decentralized nature of the network is harder to control, and the only weak link is the "public" nature of the trackers,which coordinate the connections between the network's users. (There are currently "private" trackers which require membership by invitation or subscription and use a high level of encryption and masking the nature of the interchange through 'tunneling' protocols like HTTPS)
Anyway, the point is, this information will be a lot harder to suppress and ignore the more copies of it there are out there. Not just the video, but the Pentagon report detailing the proposed plan to destroy WikiLeaks.org,and the documentation about the collusion between US and UK governments trying to force the people of Iceland to bailout their "failed" banks by accepting an onerous public debt. (The 800 pound gorilla in that room was the fact that the banks would have disappeared without a trace,except the US and UK investment banks were using them to launder their profits as an "offshore" account...)I'd like to be doing more, but I don't have the financial resources to make a 'serious' contribution to either Diane, or the folks at WikiLeaks, but I can pay attention, and encourage people who are better equipped to 'spread the news' to do so. Today, BTW, the sun came out, it stopped raining for a while so the wires and switches have dried out some,and I've got a whopping 28k of bandwith and currently 150ms of latency (a huge improvement over the usual 1-1.5 second delay that is the norm here in the boonies). If this keeps up I might think that I returned to 1980.

Watching this video (11.00 / 1)

was so awful.  The lies so bold.  My thoughts were flying like crazy.  To think these kids are coming back and are proud of what they did.  To hear it in their voices, the pride.  I am glad I don't have to deal with that kind of Karma.  Thanks for posting this.  Keeping a lid on man's inhumanity to man is hard in the age of the internet.  I think that is why we have it now, a form of divine intervention for a seeker.  The truth is out there for a searcher and the PTB can't control it unless they shut it down and even then I think it's too late to play that card.  Too many people are already aware and this awareness is world wide.

That kind of Karma (6.00 / 1)

gives people EXACTLY what they deserve in Life.

And I enjoy that fact immensely.

These people will get exactly what they deserve. Every day, every way.
